Not a Good Week to be Scott Van Pelt

Kind of like Lloyd Bridges in the 1st Airplane Movie, ESPN Sportscenter Anchor Scott Van Pelt picked a bad week to give up...well a lot of things. His week started badly when he was on the air as the ESPN folks got punked by someone from Howard Stern's radio show who claimed to be Brian Westbrook.

And there's more. Thursday night, Van Pelt had a bigger problem. Unbeknownst to him, his microphone was hot going into a break when he dropped the big one...an F-Bomb.

Check out the video...listen at the end. Thanks The Sportsgeeks.com and You Tube:

Apparently, Van Pelt had been suffering from a Sinus Infection and was feeling very poorly during the broadcast. He supposedly was complaining about it when the bad word was spoken.

He...or his bosses felt and apology was in order.

It hasn't been the best of weeks for our friends at the 4-letter. Combine this with the suspension of the Great Cornholio (Tony Kornheiser) and it just kind of makes you wonder...In case you were wondering about the reference at the beginning about Lloyd Bridges and the movie Airplane...Check out this clip...specifically Number 7.
