Everyone was saying the same thing about Scott Van Pelt after watching him on TV during ESPN’s halftime show for the Houston Texans-Kansas City Chiefs Divisional Round playoff game on Saturday.
The AFC playoff game was being played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., and it was cold out. The temperature was a frigid 22 degrees according to AccuWeather.
All one had to do was catch one glimpse of Van Pelt to understand how cold it was. The ESPN host was all bundled up while on TV at halftime. He had gloves on his hands, a knitted cap, and he even had the hood of his big jacket covering his head.

For those wondering, it definitely got colder as the day went on. Van Pelt was not wearing the hood or gloves earlier during the pregame show.
I guess it's cold in Kansas City today.
