Veteran broadcaster Pam Oliver had fans worried about her on Sunday as she conducted reports and interviews in Dublin.

Oliver became an unexpected focal point during the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Minnesota Vikings game.

Viewers were worried about Pam Oliver during yesterday’s Fox Sports broadcast, with many wondering why she seemed to be slurring her words.

The incident sparked a wave of online commentary and concern.

It turns out, there was a reason for her slurred speech, and it has nothing to do with allegations of her drinking.

“Fox sideline reporter Pam Oliver struggles with severe migraines that impact her interviewing skills, as seen yesterday with Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers postgame. Despite this challenge, she stays committed to her job,” a post said on X.

Here is the full video of Pam Oliver speaking to Aaron Rodgers postgame in Ireland.

Pam Oliver has gone through this many times before, and she even had to speak out about it.

Oliver revealed during a November 2021 interview that she suffers from migraine headaches.

“Well, I’ve had several [migraines] over the course of the football season,” she told Richard Deitsch.

“For example, I’ve gone from averaging 5-6 a month down to averaging three a month. I consider that being lucky. They’re very debilitating for me. They’ve been a problem for a very, very long time. It’s caused me to miss a few games over the span of my career because I just couldn’t take the noise and the light and the sickness that comes with that. The nausea and the vomiting.”

That isn’t very good.

The veteran reporter further referenced a game she covered at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium when migraines kicked in as she was set to arrive. It was so bad that she decided not to work the game.

“My driver, I said, you gotta pull over. We were less than five minutes from the stadium. I’m hurling. My head is pounding. And I made the decision right then and there, I’m no good to anyone,” Oliver revealed.

“There’s no way that I felt like I was gonna get through that game, be productive, help the crew, contribute in any way. So, turned around and I went home. I felt so guilty about that for the longest time, but they really do knock me out of action.

“I feel like they’ve gotten better, just from the standpoint of having fewer. But they definitely are real,” she continued. “And they continue to plague me. And not to have people feel sorry for me, but that’s just the way it is. That’s just part of my health issue.”

Hopefully, Oliver can get past these headaches sometimes in the future and live her life pain-free.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
