Scott Van Pelt Apologizes for ‘Mr. Limited’ Quip About Russell Wilson

Overview

• During the Giants’ loss to the Bears, the ESPN host posted "Mr. Limited" on X, riffing on Wilson’s "Mr. Unlimited" persona.
• On his SVPod show, Scott Van Pelt called the tweet mean and small and said he shouldn’t have sent a snarky post.
• Van Pelt described a wave of backlash from a "Russell hive" and suggested some of the response appeared bot-driven, emphasizing this was his perception.
• The jab followed Wilson’s brief appearance after rookie Jaxson Dart was pulled, as Wilson went 3-of-7 for 45 yards.
• At age 36, Wilson has been benched this season for the first-round rookie, and Yahoo Sports framed GM Joe Schoen’s decision to sign him as a misstep.
