Witness the following paragraph from Pam Oliver's Wikipedia page.

Oliver began her broadcasting career at WALB in Albany, Georgia in 1985, as a news reporter. The next year, Oliver moved to WAAY-TV in Huntsville, Alabama. In 1988, Oliver moved to WIVB-TV in Buffalo, New York. In 1990, Oliver moved to WTVT in Tampa, Florida, where she began her career as a sports anchor in 1991. Oliver continued to be a sports anchor at KHOU-TV in Houston, Texas. In 1993, Oliver joined the sports television network ESPN. In 1995, Oliver joined FOX Sports, where she worked as a sideline reporter at NFL games. In 2005, Oliver joined TNT as a sideline reporter for their NBA Playoffs coverage.

Sheesh. We'd never even be able to find where the bathroom is.

By the way, we know it's rude to talk about a woman's age, but can you believe Pam Oliver is 47 years old? Heavens. Nice work, Pam.

So: Do you like the Pam Oliver? Do you not like the Pam Oliver? Let us know.

<![CDATA[A Sad, Base, Disgusting Poll, And We, Frankly, Are Ashamed Of You]]> We continue to feel bad for attractive female sideline reporters. They work hard, they travel like crazy, they put in the hours ... and no matter what they do, all they ever receive for their efforts is "ooh, boobies!" It has to be frustrating, and we do our best to rise above it around here.

Well ... except maybe for this. It's The Big Picture's Who Would You Do Tournament?, which, in the spirit of the new book "The Enlightened Bracketologist" — which tries to rank all human phenomena by using tournament brackets — puts the top 16 sideline reporters and gently caresses them into a full bracket.

To no one's surprise, Erin Andrews is the No. 1 seed, with Suzy Kolber at No. 2, Pam Oliver at No. 3 and Melissa Stark — our dark horse contender — at No. 4. The tournament will be going on for the next month, so if you're the type of person who has his/her head in the repulsive, loathsome gutter ... go on over and vote!
