Scott Van Pelt : 'Let's Be Adults About Sports Gambling' | SI Media Podcast

Along with "One Big Thing," one of Scott Van Pelt's signature SportsCenter segments is "Bad Beats." On the latest SI Media Podcast hosted by Jimmy Traina, Van Pelt talked about how he goes about writing his "One Big Thing" monologue every day and what he thinks the impact of legalized sports betting has been a year after the Supreme Court voted in favor of it.

Below is a transcript of Van Pelt's feelings on sports gambling and why he thinks the topic should be discussed openly and not in any veiled way, even during games.
