Doris Burke always keeps it real. During Monday's game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Pelicans, the ESPN broadcaster correctly predicted a call.
She then made a hilarious quip at her ex-husband, Rhode Island golf coach Gregg Burke, to remind viewers and colleagues why they shouldn't second-guess her analysis.
"I do like being right. Ask my ex-husband," Burke said with a laugh.

Play-by-play announcer Mark Jones responded by saying that's why he ended up an ex.
