“Everything doesn't have to be viewed in this perfect little snow globe, and everything doesn't have to be perfect. But we have to support each other. We have to promote love, because love is a stronger feeling than hate.”

Doris Burke is the worst broadcaster in sports.

So biased. So incompetent. Literally awful.

Burke is calling the Thunder and Suns first-round playoff series right now, and the fact that she is anywhere near a microphone during a game involving the Oklahoma City Thunder is proof that ESPN either does not care about its audience or does not understand why people keep turning the volume down.

Burke has spent the better part of two years turning every Thunder broadcast she touches into a personal referendum on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. She called him a "free-throw merchant" on air during the 2025 Western Conference Finals against the Timberwolves. She did not offer it as analysis. She framed it as a popular opinion she was comfortable endorsing, telling Mike Breen: "There's a reason NBA Twitter likes to call him the free throw merchant." She then doubled down in a later game, saying the way SGA draws foul calls is "why he's called the free throw merchant." When 19,000 fans in Minnesota started chanting "free-throw merchant" at SGA during Game 3, that was partly because a national broadcaster had legitimized the taunt on live television.

In March 2026, during a Nuggets-Timberwolves game that SGA was not even playing in, Burke watched Anthony Edwards get called for an offensive foul and used the moment to take a shot at SGA. She prefaced it with: "I'm gonna be honest with you, and Oklahoma City fans are going to start hating on me right now. And feel free." Then she asked: "How many times does Shai Gilgeous-Alexander get away with that exact kind of play, and other players in the league?" She brought up the reigning Finals MVP, on a broadcast he was not part of, to criticize him for fouls she believed he should have been called for in other games. That is not analysis. That is an agenda.

She did the same thing during Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals when she decided the broadcast needed a history lesson. After Rudy Gobert dunked on Isaiah Hartenstein, Burke said: "And I don't know much about history, but I know the French and German don't like one another. And Rudy says, 'Bonjour, Mr. Hartenstein!' Have a little bit of that left-handed dunk!" Breen's response was: "What are you trying to start here?" That was not color commentary. That was a broadcaster free-associating about World War II during a playoff game.

The 2025 playoffs were full of it. During the Celtics-Knicks second-round series, Burke commented that Kristaps Porzingis "looks like a guy who hasn't had consistent minutes in a while" and called him "a step slow," seemingly unaware that Porzingis had missed 11 of his previous 14 games due to an upper respiratory illness. A broadcaster's job is to provide context. Burke was providing the opposite of context.

The Finals made it worse. The Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers in seven games to win the franchise's first championship, and Burke's commentary throughout the series was so widely criticized that it became one of the dominant storylines of the postseason. Fans called her "insufferable." Social media was flooded with complaints about her timing, her tone, and her inability to match the energy of the moment. During one broadcast, she and Richard Jefferson got tangled in an awkward, confusing exchange about the gather step and traveling rules that left viewers wondering if either of them understood the rule they were trying to explain.

Draymond Green, who has been one of the most outspoken players in the league about media coverage, publicly called Burke out for what he described as a pattern of bias against him. After a February 2026 game against the Spurs in which Green scored 17 points while defending Victor Wembanyama, Green said Burke "will always ignore things happening to me and only half-mention the good. And take shots when they are available. Been that way for a while." Green pointed to a specific sequence in which Wembanyama had his arm wrapped around Green, and Burke ignored it while praising Wembanyama's resilience. During the 2025 playoffs, Burke questioned whether Green deserved the "leash" officials gave him, asking on air: "How many guys get this kind of leash, in the league, to get a Flagrant 1 and continue the discussion?" That is an opinion dressed up as a question, and it is the kind of commentary that shapes narratives rather than reporting on them.

ESPN's own decision-making confirmed what the audience already knew. In August 2025, ESPN demoted Burke from its top broadcast team and replaced her with Tim Legler alongside Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson. Burke was moved to the No. 2 team with play-by-play voice Dave Pasch. ESPN executive Burke Magnus defended the decision publicly. Burke signed a multiyear extension with ESPN despite the demotion, but the move sent a clear message: the network heard the criticism and agreed with enough of it to act.

And now she is calling the Thunder-Suns first-round series. The Thunder are the No. 1 seed and the defending champions. The Suns are the No. 8 seed who had to win a play-in game just to get here. Oklahoma City won Game 1 by 35 points, 119-84. SGA scored 25. And Doris Burke, the broadcaster who spent the last two years taking shots at SGA on national television, is the one ESPN assigned to call this series. That is either a tone-deaf scheduling decision or ESPN does not have enough people on staff who can call a basketball game without making it about themselves.

The problem with Burke is not that she is a woman calling NBA games. That framing has been used to deflect legitimate criticism for years. The problem is that she is a broadcaster who inserts herself into stories instead of covering them, who uses the platform to push personal opinions about players rather than describing what is happening on the court, and who has demonstrated a pattern of bias that is visible enough for both fans and active players to call out publicly. Richard Jefferson wore a shirt that said "my favorite broadcaster is Doris Burke" after the demotion, and Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle criticized the timing of the announcement. Burke has supporters. But support from colleagues does not erase the on-air track record that led ESPN to move her off its top team in the first place.

A good broadcaster makes you forget they are there. A good broadcaster enhances the game. A good broadcaster provides context, energy, and insight without becoming the story. Burke does none of that. She makes herself the center of attention with hot takes disguised as analysis, random historical tangents that derail the broadcast, and a fixation on certain players that goes beyond commentary and into something that looks a lot like personal bias.

ESPN demoted her for a reason. The audience complained for a reason. Draymond Green called her out for a reason. And Thunder fans who have to listen to her call this playoff series already know why.

Chris Finch on officiating:

"The league's in a place right now where you draw the contact, spill away, and get rewarded. Guys who try to play through contact ... stay with the drive, they tend not to be rewarded ... Maybe we ought to start flopping too."

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.

The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.

Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.

The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

NEW: Former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe appears to suggest there is no scientific evidence that men are better than women at sports.

The comment came as Rapinoe raged against the IOC's decision to only let women play in women's sports.

It is worth noting that the United States women's national soccer team, which Rapinoe played on, previously got beaten by an under-15 boys team.

🚨 WOW! CBS news went FULL NICK SHIRLEY on Gavin Newsom's California, storming up to one single building in Los Angeles with 89 hospice offices

"72 of them raise red flags for FRAUD"

The corruption in California is INSANE

Gavin Newsom appointed a board that approved 6 rate hikes in 1 year for his donor PG&E

🚨 The commissioners on the board approving the rate hikes for PG&E then get jobs working for them GETTING PAID A MILLION PER YEAR

“When the commissioners are done approving your rate hikes, they go work for PG&E:

Former Commissioner Carla Peterman left the CPUC and went straight to PG&E

- $290,000 cash
- $270,000 in stock
- $560,000 salary

Over a million dollars a year from the company whose rate hikes she used to approve”

“A federal judge called PG&E, a continuing menace to California. Their credit rating is one level above junk bonds, and the people who are supposed to protect you are cashing checks from the company that's robbing you.”

California energy bills skyrocket because Democrats are getting filthy rich allowing it to happen

Bill Gates visited Elon Musk at the Tesla Giga Texas factory and told him straight up: "It's impossible to have a long-range semi-truck. It doesn't work"
Elon replied: "We literally have them. Drive one yourself. Pepsi is using them RIGHT NOW"
Gates just kept saying: "No, it doesn't work"
Today, Tesla Semis are hauling cargo 425+ miles for one of the biggest companies on Earth
Imagine being this confidently wrong, refusing to accept reality, and somehow the media still sells him as a "climate expert" 👀
