Pam Oliver

[smuggler]

Pam Oliver and I went to the same high school, but I've never met her. She's almost 30 years older than I am, so that's no surprise. It's far from a necessary gig she's got, but we tend to think of things from the perspective of knowledgeable football fans. To understand Pam Oliver's contributions to a broadcast, you have to remember that a good chunk of the audience might be channel-flipping, first-time football watchers and not have that great of an understanding of the sport. To say it differently, the Pam Olivers of the football broadcast world are intended for a different audience than The Shadow (because he already knows).

Whoa, Smuggler you are a young un. And a knowledgeable one at that. You went to Pam's high school, eh? What was her 40 time? Actually my impression of her reporting was slightly different. I really thought old Fox really held her out to dry. She was all by her lonesome with a little sideline mike with the wind blowing her wig up in the back. Couldn't fox build her a little cage or a cubbyhole to stand in? Some people have mentioned some network outta bring back the Goose. I agree, I don't really remember anything Goose ever said from the sideline, but he was more entertaining than anybody they have down there now.

Pam Oliver

Since she first appeared on an NFL broadcast I immediately gave her a nickname because she looked like an amalgam of two other distinctly different famous people. You know, like if you crossed so and so with another so and so. Kinda like when Jeff Goldblum became a hybrid "BrundleFly" in the classic 1986 film The Fly.

So anyway, if you were to choose two people to put in a human DNA blender and create something that resembled the subject of this thread, Pam Oliver, who would those two people be?

I posit the following scenario:


If you put Whitney Houston...



and Oprah Winfrey...




....in a mixing device like a blender...


...or even some science fiction teleporter of some sort...







...that you would eventually produce the abomination that can only be called:

"Whitney-Winfrey"

My buddy and I met Pam in the Dallas airport once on our way back from a Cowboys/Falcons game years ago. She was pretty cool but looked way different in person, to me at least.

Lots of commentary on Twitter about slurred speech. Not a lot about slurred speech prior to yesterday. I didn't notice but that seems to indicate something at least.

Do you really need Twitter for observation. Use your eyeballs. It’s been all season and I’m pretty sure last year too. It’s called, see things with your eyeballs. You don’t need to cite sources to observe something. Has it come so far that big segments of humanity don’t even trust their eyeballs? Imagine the shit I could sell you if I had influence on Twitter. Any supposed reliable source overrides your damn eyeballs. You can be fed anything

Just get rid of her.
