Doris Burke Breaks News Of Rajon Rondo’s Torn ACL To Paul Pierce On Live Television

by Joe Levine | 4:23 pm, January 27th, 2013

Stay classy, Doris.

Paul Pierce was able to enjoy today’s double-overtime victory over the Miami Heat for just a few seconds before ABC’s Doris Burke shattered his world, informing him that Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Pierce was understandably shocked.

Watch the video, via ABC:

“Oh muh Gaw” is right. At least let the team get back to the locker room to hear the bad news from their coach or Rondo himself, Doris. Damn. The only thing worse than finding out from the TV/radio that your teammate was traded/injured/released/etc. is finding out during your own damn interview.

Peter King Kudos to 33 Patriots, past and present, for putting on a football clinic for 400 kids--without fanfare--in Newtown, Conn., Saturday.
