It's highly likely that 4 hours ago she was wandering down highway 82 somewhere between Moorehead and Itta Bena.
This women's announcer....

Do we need to start a thread on this every time she calls one of our games?
Just mute the TV and get the radio broadcast synced up using the TuneIn app.

i don't care if she is deaf or not. This is the entertainment industry you can discriminate based on performance and ability to do the job. Delivery is not up to par. We are a number 1 seed. Completely unacceptable. Might as well hire someone giving commentary in german
Good take***************************************************************************************
ability to speak clear and effective is number 1 job qualification. I'm fine giving her halftime show, but not in game commentating. You don't want an obese fitness instructor do you? I know exactly who she is, but like I said delivery is unacceptable. Unfair to advertisers because half the country have already muted the game.
I’m guilty of starting a thread earlier making fun of her voice. I have to say that I have gotten use to it. She is very accomplished and brings much knowledge to the game.
yeth, i pwoclaim my idiothy. i can't underthand why anyone would want an comenthater that hath the abtholute wotht delivwe eva. Do you wan wath the weatha man that th peaks lik thith duwing a thevere weatha awert?
We are a number 1 seed. We are on espn. We deserve the best delivery. Give her the halftime show heck make her the anchor pay her bunches of money, but leave the in game commentary to someone else

You should feel sorry for me being mentally handicapped and applaud my efforts. hypocrisy at its finest
I actually think her commentary is really
good and barely notice. It’s amazing what you see and hear when you don’t focus on every negative aspect. Give it a try. She’s better than a lot of announcers without a disability.

Delivery is equally important in this profession. If anyone else in the world had the qualifications, spoke like her, but wasn't deaf they wouldn't have a job doing in game commentary.
Can you really not understand her?
I mean, her voice is different than what we'd usually hear on TV, but I haven't misunderstood a single word she's said. Just not a big deal any more than it would be if she were from Europe or something.
She's honestly easier to understand than some of the people on this board would be... My grandmother in Mississippi is much harder to understand... The words tire, tar, fire, car, liar, door, and hire all rhyme perfectly when she speaks. Much like Haley Barbour.

Threads like this getting massive response make me dislike much of this group sometimes. Thanks to the sane, intelligent ones.
Thanks for the work to lay out that info. She's an accomplished human being deserving of tremendous respect.
