During the start of the 2nd half of the Super Bowl Fox sideline "reporter" Pam Oliver breaks out this doozy one liner, "I saw someone rush in a box of bananas."
The Giants had bananas on the sideline for consumption in order to prevent cramps. Fox then showed a close up of a box of bananas.
Immediately, all of my friends looked right each other and uttered in unison "did they really just show bananas on the sideline?" We then proceeded to make banana jokes the rest of the game.
After the the Giants historic upset victory, I wanted Plaxico to be asked this question, "Hey Plax, were you able to score the game winning TD because of the bolt of potassium from eating bananas? "
My inquisitive fruit dreams were never fulfilled. I did some searching around the series of tubes to locate other reactions towards Oliver's break through banana reporting moment.

Here is my favorite take on the fruit:
- It was like Ron Burgundy was coordinating the telecast. At the outset of the second half, Pam Oliver referred to the red zone as the "green zone." Alright Pam, take it easy. You are supposed to be a professional and you are so sauced you can't see colors. I'm Pam Oliver? At one point, during the end of the third quarter (right when things began to finally get interesting), FOX panned away from the field of play and spent a good eight seconds zoomed in on a bushel of browning bananas. The Giants were cramping up and in search of potassium, but one could just hear Buck and Aikman up in the box: "scotch, scotch, scotch, we love scotch." (Mac King)

The Pam Oliver picture caught my attention. The bottom picture of her ass sealed the deal. Good job, my friend. I am now clicking the tag to get my stalking on.
Coughlin refers to the offensive inside the 20 as the green zone, the defensinve end as the red zone. That was not a mistake on her part, there are several other coaches who do the same thing.
Any shots of Pam eating a banana?
Now that's what I want to see. Show her eating an ice cream sundae with emphasis on the banana.
