Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

PAM WARD: GOD HELP THE BEAST IN HER

"Ah, I remember that game. I watched that, probably on some barstool somewhere..."

--Pam Ward, re: the "Snow Bowl" Independence Bowl in 2000, during the ESPN broadcast last night of the 2008 Independence Bowl.

SCENE: Tricky Jane's Bar, Tampa, Florida. PAM WARD sits on a barstool. Sarah McLachlan's "Adia" plays in the background. PAM smokes a cigarette to the butt, and stubs it out in an ashtray.

Barkeep: Some game we got here, eh?

Pam: Yup. Some game.

Barkeep: Doesn't snow like that in Shreveport very often, does it?

Star-divide

Pam: Bring me another, Suze.

Barkeep: I...I can't Pam.

Pam: I've got money. I'll pay, Suze.

Barkeep: Your money's no good. I can't serve anyone eleven drinks in an hour.

Pam: I'm not just anyone. I'm gonna make play-by-play one day. I will. Just wait. I'll get out of this shithole sideline gig and call plays from the booth. I will.

Barkeep: Sure you will, Pam.

Pam: Her voice rises with anger. And not just the shitty 12 o'clock Big Ten games! I'm talking Ron Franklin's spot. I'll be there one day! I don't care how many bitches I have to kick in the honeypot to get there! I'll--

Barkeep: Pam, don't make me call the cops. Again.

Pam stumbles back off her barstool, looks at table of women chatting and smoking idly.

Pam: What are YOU looking at, Virginia Slims? GET SOME!!!

BRAWLING BETTY rolls up her sleeves and gets up slowly from her table.

BB: Are we gonna have to settle this Houston-style, lady?

She pulls a switchblade from her pocket. It snaps open with an evil click.

Barkeep: (Furiously dials 911, cracks out taser.)

Pam: Baltimore bitches don't need scalpels to operate, lady. Come get it.

Barkeep: Betty, leave that snake alone. You don't know what happens when it bites.

Betty: HYEEEAAAAGGGH----

A SCENE OF UNIMAGINABLE VIOLENCE ENSUES. Brawlin' Betty falls to the floor, unconscious and with a switchblade stuck in her forehead.

Pam: I...I did it again, didn't I? I...I just saw red and...it happened again...Oh God, not again...

Police sirens wail in the distance.

Barkeep: Take the back door. And don't ever come back here if you know what's good for you.

Pam: (Shaking and running toward the door...) I'll control it one day, I will...I will...I'm tired of running...and sleeping under overpasses...I'll control it...I will...

Barkeep: GO!!! (Pam runs into the darkening night, shoeless, covered in blood, and crying.)

Pam Ward has since gone on to become just one of two female play-by-play announcers on ESPN. The beast in her lies in wait most nights now, though she did kill Ron Franklin with a stapler in 2004. His subsequent appearances have been made by an impersonator, and his body was ground into hamburger and fed to Chris Berman in one sitting at an ESPN function in the same year.

Yeh, I hate seeing red too. I hate when that happens. Sometimes when I am backed into a corner, I just think of doing some type of Steven Seagal shit, and my hands do it on their own. And I havent stopped running……Especially in a sports bar with opposing fans. Drankin and gambling in New Orleans will do that to you, and you CAN get more than 11 drinks an hour, actually, its encouraged.
I wonder if Pam Ward has killed anyone by jamming a vibrator into their brain via the ear? Cause thats what it was like listening to her last night broadcasting the game…….the buzzing still hasnt stop. MAKE IT STOP!

I think that might explain what happened to Bill Curry after he worked with Pam.

Too funny…I was watching this game with my wife and the following conversation occurred:

WIFE: “I can’t stand that announcer guy’s voice. It’s just wierd.”

ME: “That’s a lady.”

WIFE: “Seriously!? What does she look like?”

ME: “A man.”

She then hung around for another quarter wanting to see a booth shot of the announcer-womyn.

@ #1 – Mr. P.P. -

Shit yeah, anyone can get more than 11 drinks in an hour in NOLA. Shit…it’s 3 for 1 somewhere!

@ #5 – jacketexan -

I’ve had a raging fever for 3 days now. When my wife said the same thing, and I responded the same way you did, she thought I had finally cooked my noodle. I had to dig out the laptop to prove to her that I wasn’t delirious (again). AT least it wasn’t more from Holly Rowe.

I have button on my remote that makes Pam Ward’s play-by-play tolerable.

It’s called MUTE,

and I use it A LOT.

so I’m watching the game with extended family in for the holidays that includes my aunt, a world class athlete for her age (she apparently places all the time in 50+ age group triathlons all over the world). Suddenly she starts just going off on Pam. The words “women dont play football”, “why must tv stations have bimbo sideline reporters”, and “all I want to do is mute the TV when she is on” all came out within the same paragraph. Then she mentioned how she always mutes the early big televen games and I lost it, couldnt stop laughing. Get to work today, see this, immediatedly flash back to yesterday. When a woman who is a world class athlete, and who loves football is calling out women football announcers, i think that pretty much sums up the reality of how all guys think. All you hear when Pam calls a game is “woman talking woman talking woman talking”

pam ward may suck, but she’s got nothing on the gang of idiots at CBS and NO ONE can top bob davie when it comes to uninformed verbal horse shit…

also… great work orsen.

by tempebamafan on Dec 29, 2008 1:26 PM EST reply actions  

I’d STILL hit that.

Hmmmmm….“See red again/Baltimore/Psychotic chick” …sounds familiar. Perhaps Pam can change her name to Marnie and cover up the murder.

Who’s the Barkeep – Sean Connery?
