Joe Buck and Scott Van Pelt swap delightfully awkward visuals from their early TV days

Joe Buck and Scott Van Pelt are two of the most recognizable faces—and voices—in the country, a pair of smooth talkers who are completely comfortable in front of the camera. But it wasn't always that way.

On Thursday, Buck, unprompted, shared a video from his early days on TV when he worked for ESPN(?) before becoming a mainstay at Fox Sports. In the clip, Buck interviews future major leaguers Todd Zeile and Greg Vaughn from the Triple-A All-Star Game for a live hit on SportsCenter that he claims stressed him out to the point of causing a zit on his delicate, dimpled face. Have a look:

Don't, um, sweat it, Joe. When I was that age I got stress zits from my college public speaking class. A live hit on SportsCenter at that age is pretty heady stuff. My summer internships definitely weren't that cool.
But not to be outdone, Van Pelt chimed in by poking fun at h..

Florida Man steals golf cart, leads cops on chase, retains Florida Man certification for another year

Vincent HazatYou might think it's easy being Florida Man. All you gotta do is play air guitar in the middle of a hurricane, chug a bottle of Kid Rock's whiskey in a Chuck E. Cheese's ball pit, and occasionally throw a live alligator through a Wendy's drive-thru window. What could possibly be so hard about that? But in a world where acts of Florida Man are getting crazier and crazier by the second, it's becoming increasingly difficult for average, everyday Florida Men to retain their card-carrying Florida Man status. This has led to many stories like that of Andrew Thomson Burnett, a 42-year-old Sanford resident who turned to crime earlier this week, battering a innocent golf cart driver before “cart” jacking his cart and leading police on a low-speed chase along U.S.-1 North in St. Johns County, FL.

Eric Bledsoe finds innovative new way to turn the basketball over

Hannah FoslienThe rules of basketball aren't ironclad. They shift with the changing of the guard. The implementation of the three-point line in the NBA in 1979 or the NCAA banning dunking from the late 1960s through the mid-70s are just two examples of the game ebbing and flowing. Rules change all the time, but not once has it been legal—unless you're playing in a shoddy pick-up game—to just dribble onto the court without inbounding the ball. Well, for a split-second, which is enough time to make a regrettable decision, Eric Bledsoe did just that.

It's not as if this was in a blowout. Bledsoe committed this act of lunacy in a hard-fought game against a reputable opponent in the fourth quarter. This isn't just a gaffe. Bledsoe's mistake yesterday was an all-timer.
