Media Approval Ratings: Scott Van Pelt
Of all the anchors on "SportsCenter," it would seem unlikely that Scott Van Pelt would be the one with such a long history with this here site. He doesn't have the Berman boom, the Vitale scream, the STEPHEN A. SMITH blare or the Skip Bayless smirk. But with one phone call, he became part of Deadspin lore.
He hasn't necessarily backed away from it, joking about it in graduation speeches and even inviting us on his show. But we're already putting too much of our own opinion on this one; we'll let you, the judges, decide.
Do you like the Scott Van Pelt? Do you not like the Scott Van Pelt? Let us know.
