Fox Sports sideline reporter offended by McNabb's denial of comments about Eagles (http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071218/SPORTS02/712180397/1002/sports)
ohhhh it looks like the shit is starting to hit the fan.....
Fox Sports sideline reporter Pam Oliver steadfastly defended her report in which she said her pregame conversation with Donovan McNabb led her to believe McNabb felt the organization would cut ties with him in the offseason. In the sideline report, Oliver said: "Donovan really seems to believe that his days in Philadelphia are numbered. When I spoke with him before the game, I got the impression that Donovan is a little hurt by what he sees as an organization distancing itself from him and an organization that's overly concerned about the negative fan reaction to him. "But Donovan told me point blank, 'My knee is not an issue. The next place I go, I will win,' and also that he will keep a smile on his face for as long as he's in an Eagles uniform." After the game, McNabb told reporters that Oliver had drawn her own conclusions. "I didn't say that," McNabb said. "I don't feel that way. I've said I want to be here eight more, nine more years. If that's possible, we'll see." Monday morning, Oliver said she was stunned to hear McNabb's defiant response. Not only did McNabb make those remarks, she said, but he sounded off without being pressed. "I asked him one question, and there was this barrage [of responses]," she said. An Eagles spokesman said Monday that McNabb was aware of Oliver's reaction, and declined further comment. Oliver also said she intentionally withheld some of McNabb's more pointed remarks to protect him from saying something publicly he might later regret. -- The News Journal
