OT: Reason(s) we hate Pam Ward

Because she makes my heads hurt - one more than the other...

Her mere presence in the booth is a reminder that an angry and well-organized minority can make a lazy or frightened majority cater to its whims.

In the interest of political correctness, I'll say no more.  :)

I can't believe that Ms. Ward found time in between doing photo shoots for Playboy and Esquire to call this game.

And he ran down the field... Touchdown.

Reasons to hate Pam Ward:

1) Threads like this whenever Pam Ward calls a Michigan game.

paired with Ray Bentley.

When she says "Touchdown Michigan!" she says it with the gusto of an eggplant and the attractiveness of a hyenas asshole.

as I don't have see Millen's piece of shit face I don't care who's calling the damn game.

It's because she's really bad at announcing, and I just know there has to be a human being out there, preferably a woman just to keep things PC, who would be better at that job than Pam Ward. ESPN should give that person, again preferably a woman, the job. Pam Ward makes games almost literally unwatchable. They might as well not even bother with a play by play person.

I would much, much prefer to listen to the game in another language by someone remotely competent (not even really in football, just announcing) than listen to Pam Ward. I find listening to golf on the radio more interesting.

I dislike Pam Ward as an announcer. Immensely.

because she says "and thaaat is going to beee a toooouchdoooown..." 10 seconds after the PAT.

Replace Pam Ward with Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels. Problem solved.

How long do you have?

If we have to have a female play-by-play announcer, why not Sage Steele or Hannah Storm? They obviously can inflect their voices and read from a teleprompter. Reading from a spotter's prompts can't be all that different.

Pam Ward to say: "Denard passes it to the man... and boom goes the dynamite."

I mean, come on, they just wanted some fucking candy Pam.

She is going to be silent for 3 precious hours this Saturday because she will be largely unable to carry on about "time of possession" the whole game like she has done for the last 2 years.

Pfft

Nessler is worse than Ward, and Tirico is one of the worst

and the first 45 seconds of this are priceless...

I don't hate Pam Ward as a person, but she's a piss poor football announcer. The injured Marshall player incident was over the top.  That and the intelligent comments like  " If that guy runs the ball into the endzone, he'll score 6 points".

Anyone want to give her the "Crocodile Dundee" sex verification test? Yikes!!!

I hate Pam Ward because she gets to use any bathroom she wants. Also I heard that Erin Andrews hates her because she never puts the seat down.

It literally hurts my ears.

If you took a trasncript of what she says during a game and read it, it would not be run-out-of-the-room-screaming bad. 

But when you hear it in her odd inflectionless nasal bleat, it just plain hurts your head.

for the way she called the indiana game last year.  the phrase "Carlos Brown has some good speed" is forever burned into my ear drum.  

for the WNBA playoffs.  That way I'd never have to hear her voice again. Or 98% of the country...

Good call on that one:

I'm not a particular fan of Pam Ward because she's not a great playcaller.

This is the thing about there being one woman play caller (or woman doing X): if they happen not to be very good at it, they kind of ruin it for the rest of us.  The next talented chick wanting to play call is going to have to overcome the Pam Ward stigma.  While having people make snippy comments about her looks (if she's not Miss America) and basically catcalling her on message boards (if she's cute).

Because her face looks like it caught on fire and someone put it out with a pitchfork?

2) She made me stay down in a hole

3)She did a creepy dance with her thing tucked between her legs.

It's great to see I'm not the only one who wants to thrust a rusty spoon directly into my eardrum at the sound of this thing's voice. Also as mentioned above her not knowing WTF she is talking about while slaughtering players names.

I guess someone had to post THIS so it might as well be me...

which one of these guys is Pam Ward?

I hate when she calls games!  I was terrified that she would be calling the BG game, I couldn't even describe the relief / excitement when I heard Brian Griese's voice.

She's a man, man.

commentary on the year 2008 would be something like, "In my view, as good as Michigan was in 2007, that's how as bad they've been now."

and that's not hyperbole, she really is the worst sportscaster ever, in the history of television and radio. I'd rather listen to "boom goes the dynamite" guy call every Michigan game for the rest of my life than listen to "her" call any more games. Here is a classic Pam Ward-ism for your amusement:
