Brian Westbrook Calls Sportscenter … No, That’s a Prank Call from Howard Stern Fan Captain Janks | The Big LeadJanks called in to Howard Stern’s show this morning to talk about his con job, and here’s how he said he did it: He called in pretending to be Westbrook’s manager. The name he gave, he claims, was completely made up. (How, behind-the-scenes Sportscenter people, do you not at least run a google?) Initially, whomever took his call said that they’d rather tape the interview; Janks wisely said, “I’d rather have my client do it live because we don’t want you guys to cut the interview up.” Twenty-minutes later, ESPN called back and asked for Westbrook’s number. Janks simply gave them his number, and then the magic happened.
Scott Van Pelt, to his credit, didn’t seem all that rattled.
That is harsh. Hes lucky to make $30k as an intern in the radio biz.
This was television.
Van Pelt's facial expression afterward is priceless. Just too bad Stern's actual show isn't funny anymore.
The crank calls aren't funny either, just lame.
BTW, did you guys see Westbrook's statement re: being released?
"It's hard for teams to keep veterans, especially aging veterans at a higher salary number, when they can get younger guys," Westbrook said. "Especially when guys have battled injuries the way I have the last year and a half or so. I understand that. I completely do."
Brian Westbrook says he's not retiring, has heard from NFL teams for 2010 - ESPN
there's a guy who gets it...
