The NFL is holding an international game over in Dublin, Ireland, as the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Minnesota Vikings. A lot of drama has already played out on and off the field, from injuries to a quarterback getting robbed.
However, fans also poked fun at the expense of Fox Sports sideline reporter Pam Oliver after an unfortunate screenshot showed a less than flattering appearance of her.
“Drunk Pam Oliver 🍺🍺🍺,” said one fan.

As expected from the internet, fans made fun of her appearance from the game.
“Pam Oliver please get off the mic,” said one person.
“Rather look at a moose. Neither speak English,” commented another.
“Is it me or Pam Oliver’s voice is soo ughhhh , can’t stand it 😂 #NFLDublin,” said another person.
“You know football is back when you see Pam Oliver on the sidelines with a busted wig on! Let the games begin!!! #Vikings #Steelers,” pointed out one X user.
“@nflnetwork you might want to do a field sobriety test on Pam Oliver. She looks and sounds like she’s had too many Guinness,” joked another person.
“Pam Oliver talks like she forgot how to speak English,” said another.
Many found that the sideline reporter, a veteran of the industry, was slurring her words during the game’s broadcast, as some fans noted in their tweets. Others believed that she may have enjoyed herself too much with Ireland’s famous drinking culture.
Pam Oliver Was Inducted to the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame
While this performance in Dublin may be a rarity, Pam Oliver has been praised as a veteran sideline reporter. Her years of reporting on various sports has even landed her in the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame earlier this month.
Olive has spent 30 years at Fox Sports and is now a senior correspondent for the network. She is part of the Class of 2025, which includes other broadcast legends such as Lee Corso, Bill Rasmussen, Jerry Jones and the late-great Greg Gumbel. NBA great Magic Johnson also celebrated this achievement:
