ESPN gets fooled by Westbrook impersonator

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.
