    this isn't the first time but still funny nonetheless....haha the same thing happened with the whole Steve Bartman incident. Same deal the guy asked questions and "Steve" answered then he ask "DO you like Howard Stern's butt cheese?" haha classic

    I'm trying to find the video but can't

    I may be ignorant but how does something like that happen? How does a fake Westbrook get through in the first place?

    I was hoping for some insight on the details of the stupidity.

    Not exact details but it just baffles me how their screening process could allow something like this to happen... more than once.

    Hahahah that guy was full of epic win. I'm baffled how ESPN could mess this up.

    So I'm guessing "Westbrook" called in and ESPN totally fell for it like an idiot high school girl. Obviously ESPN didn't call him or else they would've gotten the right number to call. Now why would Westbrook call ESPN after being released?

    Saw it live, laughed like crazy and called a couple friends to see if they saw it. The look on Van Pelts face was priceless, I'm laughing as I'm typing this :grin: I actually missed it the first time, but heard Van Pelt say "that went well" I was on the phone so knew something happened and hit rewind on the dvr. So glad I didn't change the channel

    how the call got in the air in the first place? I thought they do research before passing live a phone call.

    I'm surprised anybody was watching ESPN to catch this live.

    Wow so that's what occurred.

    I was attempting to decipher what was going on.

    Awkward.

    That guy (Captain Janks) is the furthest you can get from Westbrook's voice. How could they not spot that?
