The Philadelphia Eagles released long-time running back and franchise star Brian Westbrook Tuesday after eight seasons with the team. Therefore, ESPN thought it would be a great idea to have Westbrook call into SportsCenter to discuss his parting with the club.

What the SportsCenter producers and anchor Scott Van Pelt did not know was that "Westbrook" was actually Captain Janks from the Howard Stern Show. What ensued was a moment of fantastic awkwardness that can make live television great.

Van Pelt quickly caught on to the ruse before he was stuck like a deer in front of a live camera, tossing the ball to co-anchor Steve Levy. Score one for the Stern crew.
