As countdown to Super Bowl winds down, so do days on final year of Pam Oliver’s contract
This is the life she has chosen.
That is as good a way as any to rationalize the season of twist and turns Pam Oliver, Fox’s veteran sideline reporter, has experienced.
Her road to Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast was pitted with potholes of emotion, physical challenge and the kind of competition typical in a cut-throat business.
In August, while standing on the sidelines at Met Life preparing to work a Colts-Giants exhibition game, she was hit flush in the face by a pass thrown by Colts backup QB Chandler Harnish. Oliver suffered a concussion. She was forced to spend five days inside a dark room in her house.
In October, she came here to host a Super Bowl breakfast for business leaders, dropped a few tongue-in-cheek lines about New Yorkers complete with tweaks of Jets fans and Rex Ryan, creating a fierce backlash she didn’t expect or deserve.
All season long, Oliver, who has been with Fox for 19 years, 12 working as sideline reporter with the No. 1 team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, watched the Foxies continue treating Erin Andrews like a queen, giving her a major push on college football and NFL telecasts. Andrews has joined Oliver on the sidelines during the postseason. The Foxies all but fit Oliver for a second-team jersey.
