Who is Pamela Ward? was that the same woman in mork and mindy?

I really did not mind Ward they had her doing lower tier games which was perfect for her monotone voice. She did not try to be hip, funny or drop pop culture references, she did not tell lame, unfunny stories, she just did the play by play. Would I want her to do the SEC title game? No. But an Iowa vs. a Sun Belt bottom Feeder game.....I could give a rip.

If only ESPN would dump all the other sorry play by play guys and color guys... and gals!!!

The thing is Pam Ward was prolly in the top half of "play-by-play". Only if ESPN would "re-assign" that 50 percent with men or women, no matter what color, religious, ethnic, or sexual orientation that weren't corporate shills and announced the games... described the play... completely with no agenda and without bias.

that 'ill be the day... that 'ill be the day..... that 'ill be the day 'till I die.

Sweet!

I didn't mind her. At least she wasn't giving "shout outs" like Jessie Palmer.

I'm having a hard time understanding the hatred towards ESPN announcers (and also for many, the hatred towards the BTN). How many of you most critical ever tried to announce or comment a game? I've had problems just trying to be the PA announcer at some of our high school games. This stuff is not as easy as you might think. And if Pam Ward wanted to interview me in the locker room. I'd immediately drop my towel.

This would be my dream job and I'd love to take a shot at failing it.

I've never really been too critical of play by play guys on TV in sports (aside from Neil Funk for the Bulls and Hawk Harrelson for the White Sox). The game is on TV and I kind of ignore them. A good chunk of color guys, however, have no analytical skills whatsoever and drive me nuts with their stupidity.

I hope they handed her a apron and a iron and told her to get back where she belongs.

Actually, I would prefer no woman doing football, but that Mowens gal(?) was really annoying! Pam Ward, I actually didn't mind if it wasn't a Hawk game.
