Please, please ESPN tell Pam Shriver to stop announcing as though Maria Sharapova is the only person on the court. It is truly pitiful to hear her go on and on and on. It’s painful to listen to her. It’s also time for her to step down and let someone who is more balanced and unbiased do the announcing. She’s lost it. Just listen to her and tell her to listen to herself. It gets to be quite a distraction and a bit disgusting. Today, on more than one occasion, Kim was making some fabulous shots and Pam was talking about Maria. Totally inapropriate!
