I think it's far more heart breaking when your team is trying to kick a game winning field goal and it's straight down the middle but end up being 5 yards short
Actually, someone needs to add the "doink" to all the missed shots that the WNBA girl makes. You know, the one who is not even in the same universe as Caitlin Clark.
They often try to slow down the replay to make it clear what happened and to avoid the weird sound they just cut the sound. What they should do is show a slow version followed by one at normal speed as by then you will know where to look and what is happening.
One of the odd things in football is when they have a βdouble doinkerβ and the grown man broadcaster without any shame use that term like they are a physics professor.
So, a little off the subject, my mother was accosted by a stranger at her gate, when my sisters and I intervened. The highlight of all this was my mother whacking the intruder with a lasagna pan. Which let out longest boiiing sound ever heard. The neighbors hooted at the intruder as he fled.
We also need to speak with the manufacturers of goal post uprights. They need to do some audio engineering and tuning on those things. The acoustical possibilities are endless.
One of the worst things in sports is when it was clear the GB return man recovered his own fumble and had the ball with both arms wrapped around it in contact with an Eagle. βThe call standsβ is BS.
Some likely Congresscritter needs to introduce legislation requiring the doink sound ALWAYS be broadcast with the video. It should be called the John Madden Doink Act.
Yes! Plus, instead of having some schmuck tell us βthat would have been good from 60β every time thereβs a long field goal, why canβt they give us the scientific actual distance it would be good from, like the home run distance?

I declare 2025 to be the Year of the Doink.
Do what you will with the name.

Let this botched attempt forever be known as, βThe Doink Heard Round the (Sports) Worldβ!
Though there isn't much better sound in football than a big doink.
Iβm done with doinks.
