Last night, FOX sideline reporter Pam Oliver got whacked on the head by an errant throw from Colts quarterback Chandler Harnish. Thankfully, Pam took it like a champ and was okay. While most sports reporters are real pros and either laugh off or power through the pain after an accidental collision, some don't take it as well. And some even end up in the hospital.
