Tony Kornheiser isn’t the only guy who is going to be suspended by ESPN this week.
Someone who guards the on-air gate allowed a person pretending to be soon-to-be-former Eagles running back Brian Westbrook to talk live via phone with Scott Van Pelt on last night’s SportsCenter.
Here’s the audio/video.
As if the prank wasn’t obvious the minute the person started talking, it became even more clear when the caller mentioned “worshiping the prostate of Howard Stern.”
Maybe the caller was Tony Kornheiser.
UPDATE: The prankster, who goes by the name of “Captain Janks,” has explained how he pulled off the stunt, per The Big Lead.
BABABOOEY!
ESPN 0 – Howard Stern’s Prostate 1

So, your job is interviewing athletes and from the “go” you can’t figure out it isn’t Westy?!?
More folks should prank these media types, can you imagine the panties that would be in wads!
At the end there, I hope it was dude’s ear piece that fell out of his ear and not a wax-sammich..
thats hilarious! I didn’t get to watch it live, but it looks like the whole segment was falling apart. At the end, the other dudes earpiece falls out when he started talking.. lol..
Remember when ESPN was THE BOMB? Well, the bomb has jumped the shark.
I am Doctor Remulak.

Anything that makes ESPN look stupid works for me.

Define irony: Someone who tries to use the word “illiterate” in a sentence, but is incapable of spelling it properly.
everybody else is laughing at the tools known as olbermann and eisen
does it matter if they got fooled? They fool a lot of people by calling themselves news reporters. I guess ESPN doesn’t do any fact checking or background before putting news out…LOL
Somewhere in Bristol, a college intern is being Mike Leached right about now… dark small closet with no idea when he’s going to be let out.
I was watching when this call took place. How anyone could have thought that the voice speaking was Westbrook is pretty pathectic. Not only the voice, but what he was saying, you would have to be oblivious to reality to fall for that. Oh wait, its ESPN, they are oblivious, and all their anchors think they are entertainers. You suck Van Pelt..
Capt. Jenks also got thru the ESPN screeners as Steve Bartman a few years ago, and fooled Dan Patrick on the 6pm Sportscenter. The guy is prolific. He usually targets news channels during bad events (plane crashes, earthquakes). The news people are so desperate to break a story, or get an exclusive that they don’t do the checks that they should do.
Howard Stern’s penis.
“Two mice and and a bucket of cream!”
Well his most famous is the OJ bronco chase.
It couldn’t happen to a better network than BSPN.
Hats off to the king of all media, Howard Stern.
@ toe-to-toe bird law
i wasn’t really trying to be funny but when Westbrook talks he sounds country as hell
