  • It's sickening. AT LEAST I can say something positive about Goodell and Stern for not continuing to take their salaries during the respective lockouts. Selig is about as useful as a plastic hammer to a plumber to begin with, and yet he continues to suck the life out of baseball by remaining commissioner and collecting that bribe he calls a salary while doing absolutely nothing.

    SVP is a damn smart guy who rarely misses with his remarks, and this was no different.

  • ESPN doesn't just cover the NBA in greater detail then the NHL because they are in business with them, its also because basketball is more interesting then hockey. Pretty simple concept

  • When can the PAC-12 start filing lawsuits for equal time?

  • i love SVP. i wish he would do his own radio show more often.

  • Selig sucks as a commissioner!!!! He didnt handle the steroid scandal the way he should have. For most of the time he looked away from it. He should let Pete Rose be elected in the Hall of Fame!!!!

  • VAN PELT = THE MAN

  • Jewish influence again.

  • SVP is THE MAN!! He's one of the best things about ESPN and one of the only reasons I'll watch SportsCenter...

  • what a sweater!

  • Scott Van Pelt rocks. Fuck ESPN for taking action on him.

  • espn kinda sucks now

  • @MBWC1 espn has always sucked. a shoddy sports news reporting organization at best.

  • Selig is grossly overpaid,what has he done to deserve a raise? OH I forgot he looked the other way during the peak of steroid use.my bad.

  • Glad I'm not the only person who noticed that ESPN has never really given a shit about the NHL (though they REALLY want them to come back to ESPN from Versus, and then and ONLY then will they ever give a shit about it).

  • He should have ripped ESPN and Bud Selig during his first day back, on the air. He would have been fired, making it so that he would not be penalized for quitting in the middle of contract, and someone else out there would have hired him.

  • i wish i looked that good to pull off sweaters like that?

  • Reason #1324978764532154684 why ESPN sucks. You don't suspend Van Pelt.

  • Who the fuck are you clowns?

  • do you think that the same insight goes for mike leach and the adam/craig james affair

    i wonder if mike leach could have picked up the phone and had craig james suspended

  • SVP is 100% right.

  • ESPN has had numerous employees who do illegal things over the years. Sean Salusbury e-mailed pictures of his penis to female colleagues at ESPN. Harold Reynolds and Mike Tirico sexually harassed female employees at ESPN. Steve Phippilps had an affair with a female ESPN employee. Michael Irvin has been in trouble with the law for drugs on numerous occasions. Doug Gottlieb commited credit card fraud while he was in college at Notre Dame for stealing and using a roommates credit card.

  • Seriously, ESPN? You're gonna suspend the ONE good sports talk guy you have? When guys like Jim f*ing Rome has a show where he spews crap daily?? Van Pelt is the only sports talk guy I can stand

  • And sexual harasser Tirico stays employed....

  • O my Sweet death . Son of a B$%$# Kenny

  • COSSSBY SWEATERRRR!

  • There's a double standard here. Cokin Cowherd has said much worse... I don't remember ScottVan Pelt ever told a caller tostick an ice pick in their eye.

  • It is outrageous that someone would get suspended for criticizing that fucking hook nosed Heeb "Commisoner" Bud.."I only suck circumsized cock" Selig. The man made an excellent point..WHY DOES THIS MAN MAKE 17 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR..AND I GUARANTEE THAT IT HAD TO HAVE TAKEN OTHER FILTHY HEEBS TO GET THE APPROVAL FOR THIS NASTY JEW MOTHERFUCKER TO MAKE THAT KIND OF UNJUSTIFIED INCOME EVERY YEAR..NO WONDER A FUCKING BUDWEISER COSTS $10.00 AT A EVERY NBA game..I hope this beady eyed money grubbing

  • @ttiger5050 hook nosed HEEB ha ha ha thanks for the good laugh luv always, Adolf Hitler

  • What happened to Freedom of Speech??

  • ESPN the worldwide leader in whining.....sports,too

  • Bud Selig..another filthy overpaid Jew fuck..Jesus Christ, where does it end with overpaid Jews already? Why does this man make 17 MILLION DOLLARS? i threw up all over my fucking shoes when I heard it, forget about in my mouth. the Jews need to get the fuck out of the country already..they have ruined this country..and I can provide plenty of testimony to that effect if you need it..

  • @ttiger5050 Im with ya brother I hate dirty Kikes

  • @ttiger5050 u stupid mother fucker ..... thats all i have to say

  • @hotdogswithnobuns84

    Ohh...k...But let me ask you this simple question..as obviously I am too stupid to figure this out for myself..however...how can this man justify making 17 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS A YEAR? That's 300K per WEEK! What the fuck can he possible do to deserve this kind of OUTRAGEOUS paycheck? $330,000.00 would pay for over 10,000 disadvantaged kids to watch the game in person..every week..

    Ok..So let's say he makes 7 million a year..that's enough for what he does..Jew cunt

  • ESPN talking heads are full of themselves and a bunch of pinheads.

  • i wish the fat guys sweater had a polar bear on it.

  • Selig is the worst commish of any pro sports group. MLB has the best union and the worst commish! They need a salary cap so they cal flurish even more like the NFL and NBA! He did nothing about drugs in sports because he was making fat cash and didn't have the balls to do anything about it. Try that shit with Goddell or the "Warden" Stern!

  • I'm sorry but he gets beat out by Gary Bettman of the NHL he messes up everything

  • This is by no means a Scott Van Pelt issue. SVP is awesome and his opinions on his radio show are real and salient. Bud Selig's salary is by all meas laughable. This is an ESPN issue through and through. ESPN has sucked and always will. Their hallmark of operating has always been fraternizing and going to bed, so to speak, with former athletes and sports celebrities. Journalistic integrity and ESPN don't exist. The network's whole MO is practically a conflict of interest.

  • Comment removed

  • This is absolutely a conflict of interest and it displays the problem with news organizations making deals with those that they cover. Worse yet are the networks that cover THEMSELVES and call themselves news. Look at the NFL Network, NBA Network and even the college level with the Big Ten Network. They can NOT cover themselves objectively. Same deal with ESPN and Major League Baseball or the SEC. They can not give an honest opinion of the story or risk getting suspended or fired. Scary stuff.

  • so wuts the problem with that?

  • While I'm no Selig supporter --- and, not to single out Van Pelt specifically --- I'd relish the opportunity to "choke on my vomit" after finding out what these jerk-offs in the media get paid to spill the garbage they dump out of their ass every day. Oh, wait, I forgot, they don't have the guts to make that info public the way they're always so hell bent on doing to the players they cover.

  • Just proves that Yellow Journalism and under the table deals stil exists. Scott, unfortunately, forgot that.

    He shouldn't have been suspended or have any fear of ESPN not backing him on this. But, ESPN and Fox News are one in the same at times. Only show what THEY wanna show and protect their "moneymakers" (ex: Yankees, Red Sox, Lakers, Cowboys, Patriots, Florida Gators).

    Just treat ESPN like any news station reporting these days...hear some of it and disregard the rest.

  • no shit espn talks about the money makers, it's a business. they talk about what the majority wants to here about. ny, dallas, and la are the 3 largest tv markets in the nations, of course they are going to obsess over the teams in theses markets.

  • No way is Dallas top 3 with LA and NY, it's Boston. Dallas only has the Cowboys, who are only popular because of their reputation and past, and the Mavs.

  • my bad the 3rd is chicago, dallas is 4th, boston is not even top 5. anyways that doesnt matter because boston teams get plenty of coverage.

  • Dude what the hell are you talking about? Why do you think Boston is covered so much? Because they're a big market. Why would ESPN give them so much attention if they were a small sports market? It's the same exact thing for LA and NY. Chicago would be a close 4th but there's no way in hell Dallas is a bigger sports market than Boston.

  • dude i just said boston gets plenty of coverage, idk why you just brought it up in the first place, and of course Boston is a huge market. but, television markets are measured by number of people in their region (or number of households), not number of sports teams. that's why Dallas and Chicago are considered larger markets than Boston.

  • Also, Dallas has the Rangers, Cowboys, Stars, and Mavericks....the same number of teams Boston has. Not to mention they are in a neutral location between U of Oklahoma and U of Texas so they have large OU and UTex fan-bases for football and basketball.

  • Wow, really surprising, that these two Jews try to justify another Jew's outrageous masterfulness against the gentile Van Pelt

  • nice sweater. lol

  • Who are these two no talent fags? They should be on espn. ha ha

  • bet you guys wished you worked on ESPN

  • basketball is much more popular than baseball world wide

  • Absolutely ridiculous this is America damn it not the Middle East!

  • only in name

    wake up and look around you

  • you can also tell the way that they cover football games. every game besides MNF gets terrible coverage. MNF they spend like a minute of review in each freaking quarter.

  • football is America's past time now, seeing as the US (and Canada) are the only two countries in the world that play what Americans call football. baseball, however, is worldwide...

  • football is americas new past time

  • Baseball sucks major anyway!

  • Van P speaks the truth. Selig is not a good imitation of a baseball commissioner.

  • word, plus baseball is overrated, shouldnt even be a pasttime even tho it was kinda the sport, and baseball is way overpaid, and steroids an d shit ruined it anyway

  • new trend in big business??? lmfao! Corporations have ruined our country and this shit has been escalating for decades....

  • van pelt is the man

  • this dude should be suspended from that sweater.

  • it's a cosby sweater...

    A CAWSBY SWEATAAAAHHHH~!

  • Time for Van Pelt to move forward with his career. When you can't speak out your opinion it's time to move different directions. Oh, and many thanks to ESPN and Selig for being completely unprofessional on this situation. I'm sure your commy approach to criticism will generate huge amounts of fans for ya.

  • Van Pelt FTW

  • Best thing about ESPN at this point is their commercials, which are hilarious. It does suck that they are pretty much the only option because it is a complete joke that they still somehow pump out pop ups every time you go there. What other major website has pop ups? Apparently ESPN and porn.

  • EVERY Major website does. Yahoo, ESPN, Cnn, SI they all do

  • You guys hit it on the head. Im sick of ESPN in many ways, but what are our options.

  • who is a bigger douchenozzle----Selig or Van Pelt ?

  • selig

  • ESPN has become a Parody of itself-Sad but true-She Still has room to grow-Soon when she come's crashing down due to her size and the cross conflict of interests--She will crash hard-Fast.

  • espn is a joke whats the point of having a radio show if ur guna be censored like that? fuckin joke

  • O MY sweet DEATH!

  • I salute Van Pelt. I love his radio show, and I completely agree with what he said in his rant about Selig. Selig made $18.5 million, only four players in the MLB made more that year.

    Life sure would be nice for me if I did a terrible job of my work and still made almost $20,000,000 over the course of the year. Selig is awful, and MLB is stupid anyways.

    I thought Freedom of Speech still existed. Many people have said far worse about Bud Selig.

  • yup and by the way

    as a jays fan.........i feel the same about vernon wells contract....18mill a year and hes so useless ugh

  • This is how its been for a while. See Fox News.

  • ESPN IS CRAPP ANYWAYZZ.

  • Wtf are these guys talking about seriously they're not staying on topic and even so there point isnt being proved.The reason why espn isnt in business with the nhl is because unlike the nfl,nba,or mlb they are the least popular sport in this nation so you cqant blame them for making a good business decision.And Bud making 18 mil a year is kinda ridiculous because since he's been commissioner nothing but b.s has happened with the steroids and how he held off for the replay idea for about 5 years

  • Espn is crap

  • The wild card game made baseball way more exciting then it was before, were the pennant were decided in early August, it was Bud Selig who had the incite to realize that you can gain more fans when teams had something to play for in September.

  • That's such a smart comment though about ESPN, they really do give the NHL the back seat in comparison to the NBA, and likewise to the MLB. I understand that the NHL is the least watched, but it's still a big sport and should be getting some fair coverage.

  • Bud Selig is like the kid that was quiet but not likeable in the class. Teachers like him because he talks nicely but his peers ridicule him because he's done absolutely nothing. van pelt is the man.

  • Bud Selig is an idiot... I don't care what he does/did about steroids, but he needs to fix the DH and the AL West/NL Central. Are you kidding me All-Star game being worth something? I love to see the best players, in fact I even like the NBA All-Star game, but it's simply stupid. SVP is the man as well.

  • are you scott van pelt?

  • I wish...

  • these guys are the best

  • Bud Is the Best Commisnher. in Sports Like him or Not. he isnt funny like Bettman or Stern

  • dodger6131... wth u talkin bout

  • First I heard of this... Wow, could ESPN kiss MLB's butt any further. Hopefully he was suspended with pay at least. Now excuse me while I clean the vomit out of my mouth. $18 million for being the worst commissioner in the history of baseball, or pro sports for that matter?!?!?! "Wretch, puke, blew...."

  • haha..Lancaster City Pa...Im from there...the paper is awesome

  • reason for steroid use = Bud Selig

  • this has become the norm in reporting. Bud is a f@#%ing as%@#le also who deserves zero money for having his hand in destroying baseball.

  • Seelig makes $18 Million Dollars a year -

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahah. NO wonder baseball tickets cost $50 and a beer is $9.

  • $50?!? what stadium r YOU goin to?! thats a decent price lol. yankee stadium, my team, box seats between the bases are hundreds. bleachers n upper deck most affordable

  • Come to Pittsburgh. $9 seats.

  • I'll pay you $9 to never see the Pirates play.
