We're roasting our former editor A.J. Daulerio, who has moved across the room to edit Gawker, a gay-interest website for heterosexual women. If you have an A.J. story to share, or if you would like to participate in some other way, please email craggs@deadspin.com. Lightly sourced slander is welcome. Our guest now is Scott Van Pelt, SportsCenter anchor and radio host. More »

As far as ESPN anchor Halloween costumes go, the SVP is probably the easiest to pull off. Glasses, a microphone, a razor and some Turtle Wax. And a affable-yet-acerbic wit. More »

Doc Gooden called into the Scott Van Pelt radio show today, but since it is also simulcast on ESPN2, they needed a suitable head shot to show viewers. Or failing that, a police mugshot with a suit painted over it. More »

Two nights ago, after being pranked by Howard Stern's crony, Van Pelt said "Hi, YouTube." Well, hi again. This time, fleeting internet fame is his because he let an f-bomb fly as SportsCenter headed to commercial. More »

SportsCenter was so thrilled to get "Brian Westbrook" on the phone, they skipped a very important step: making sure it was actually Westbrook, and not a Stern disciple expressing his desire to worship Stern's prostate. More »

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. More »

So, you might be wondering: Who was the commencement speaker at the University of Wisconsin-Madison? (Trust us, you were wondering this.) Well, it was, of all people, our old pal Scott Van Pelt ... and we're not ashamed to say it was a pretty amusing speech. More »

Like a lot of you, we were secretly rooting for Scott Van Pelt to end up with the ESPN Radio gig to replace Dan Patrick. Even though Van Pelt has had some questionable choices of guests during his occasional fill-ins, the guy's funny and affable enough on the radio, and anybody who quotes "Flight Of The Conchords" on air is cool in our book. But, alas, 'twas not to be. Instead, be ready to hear, "I wish I was single. If I were, I'd throw you on the table right here and fuck your brains out" on the air. More »

It is amusing to watch a guy like Scott Van Pelt, one of the better ESPN personalities and a guy we certainly have our fair share of history with, struggle with the Internet. He is a Web guy, but he hates the Web; he fears becoming what he most despises. More »

So we've been receiving a little bit of blowback after our rather inexplicable appearance on ESPN Radio with Scott Van Pelt on Friday. Mainly, we think people wanted us to have some sort of Jon Stewart on "Crossfire" moment; during our brief appearance on the airwaves, we should have, apparently, gone off on some sort of "Stop Hurting America" rant, speaking truth to power, all that. We understand the criticism. More »

We really shouldn't have drunk so much coffee beforehand. And by coffee we mean amphetamines. And by amphetamines we mean cocaine. And by cocaine we mean chocolate milk. [ESPN Radio] More »

All told, we actually kind of like ESPN anchor Scott Van Pelt. He's still a knockoff of the tired "wacky" anchor, but he's not as obnoxious about it as he could be. He seems like a dopey, well-meaning fellow who is happy to be on television. More »

We never quite know what to do with Scott Van Pelt. He seems like an intelligent enough guy and is smart-alecky without being overly, soul-crushingly obnoxious about it. But, man, those catchphrases. The guy is positively Berman-esque, minus the "You're with me, leather." We'll admit to cringing when the Arnold references come out, though can't truly hate an ESPN anchor who has at least heard of Tenacious D. More »
