Brian Westbrook hangs up on SportsCenter live

Was watching Sportscenter and they talked about the Westbrook release, and then said Westbrook was joining them on the show to discuss the situation.

Scott Van Pelt (my favorite anchor) started the interview with the supposed Westbrook on the line, and asked if it felt personal.

The guy started talking about how he loved the city of Philadelphia, and when I heard his voice I knew immediately it wasn't B.W. Sounded like some cornball computer nerd... He talked for a few seconds and ended with something like "I'm looking forward to worshiping at the prostate of Howard Stern."

Or something like that... SVP immediately said something like "that's where we're going huh?"

The fake BW started talking again and was cut off immediately. SVP laughed and there was an awkward silence there for a minute. It was hilarious. Who the f**k screens their calls b/c they need to be fired. I hate that it happened to SVP b/c I think other than Stuart Scott he's the most legit at his job there.

Man, I hope someone DVR'd it and can post it.

That guy is going to be a living legend to his friends... I'm sure ESPN is looking at legal options due to being made into jackasses for letting him on the air lol...

The call itself wasn't funny, but the fact he got through to get on air somehow is ridiculous. If you've ever heard BW talk, you knew it wasn't him as soon as he started talking.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
