ESPN appears to have been prank called by a Howard Stern prankster pretending to be recently released Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook. The Brian Westbrook ESPN prank call appears to have been the work of Captain Janks, a Howard Stern acolyte who has pulled similar pranks on live TV before.

The Brian Westbrook crank call started off like any other interview with an athlete, but went off the rails about 30 seconds in when the fake Westbrook said he had "nothing but respect for head coach Andy Reid and I look forward to a future of worshiping the prostate of Howard Stern."

ESPN host Scott Van Pelt, realizing he had been duped by a Howard Stern fan, said, ""Oh boy, we got that, huh. So that worked out well."

So who is Captain Janks? According to one report, he is Thomas Michael Cipriano, a 43-year-old Pennsylvania man who recently confessed to defrauding bar owners by failing to make personal appearances for which he received payment. Cipriano was sentenced to eight years probation and was ordered to pay restitution.

Here is the Brian Westbrook Howard Stern prank call video and audio plus a couple of other Captain Janks prank calls.
