Pam Oliver is one of the most iconic and well-known sideline reporters in the NFL. The FOX Sports analyst has been a staple of the network since she first signed on when John Madden was still calling games.
However, she has had her fair share of embarrassing moments or funny mistakes that go viral. This time, it’s not her fault everyone is talking.
An online video shows Oliver standing on the sidelines before a Colts and Giants matchup while several players are warming up.
A Colts quarterback is doing a few practice throws when suddenly, one goes way off target and hits Oliver square in the face. As she reacts to the hit by ducking, you can see her wig nearly fly right off her head.
