ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt and Jay Mariotti of, hang on…. ah, here we go, Unmuted, are in the middle of a classic Twitter beef over something stupid (as usual). That being said it’s still hilarious AF.
The reason for that is mostly because of the fact that Mariotti trying match wits with Van Pelt is like me trying to beat LeBron James in a game of 21.
Apparently this whole beef war started when former disgruntled ESPN employee Mariotti decided to take a jab at Van Pelt, blaming him in part for the troubles ESPN has been having of late.

can't stop tweeting at you? You troll me over and over and over & pretend I'm the one who initiates this? Grow up, Jay.

the hosts who were nominated in the same category I was nominated in last year? Best studio host? That one?

of course it's more important, Jay. As it was last night/this am when you were trolling me for the 100th time. Pick a lane.

Your "show" is you talking to yourself because not a soul listens. Find a mirror, look into it… it's over & you know it.

Apparently this is the “defamatory” tweet Mariotti was referring to in his diatribe (AKA the one that will give him ownership of ESPN)…
Yo, Bloggers. Apparently I'm embarrassing myself? So said a tiny little man who fancies himself relevant and hits women. We work, he rots.
