While driving to Memphis, the play by play guy from our game, Dave Fleming, literally pulled over in a Circle K/McDonald’s parking lot in Eupora to talk to Scott Van Pelt about the game. This is a good segment
A parking lot in “Euphoria”, MS

I was in Euphoria, MS last night for damn sure
This is how professionals act. You can joke about small town Mississippi (or small town, rural anywhere) and do it while actually being funny and respectful.
Enjoyed that.

Yeah. I think he's pretty good. Dude had a long weekend. Night game in Starkville then a 7 hour drive to St. Louis to call a Sunday afternoon baseball game.
Loved the segment. We've got to have another standard reference beside Little Dooey. It's time.
That's SVP for you. In a world where everybody hates somebody, does anyone not like SVP? I don't know what it is about the guy but he threads the needle for talking head/ESPN star better than any and been doing it for awhile. SVP then SVP & Russillo radio were must listen radio back when. Now he's as big at ESPN as anyone and all without the hot take, screaming BS. Just seems like a nice guy who enjoys sports and appreciates his job. One Big Thing always good and has his "takes" but never seems mean spirited.
To your point, all 3 of them had me laughing along with them while never being insulted. It can be done.
