Scott Van Pelt's top 10 neighbors form a tight, mixed cluster of sports-media figures — TV personalities, journalists, athletes-turned-analysts, and a comedian — with scores spanning only from 0.95 down to 0.92, a narrow band that defines the flat shape.
Ryen Russillo leads at 0.95, followed closely by Joey Mulinaro (0.94, Comedians) and Erin Andrews (0.94, TV Personalities). Dan Orlovsky (0.93, Athletes) and Joe Lunardi (0.93, Professionals) round out the top five. The subcategory breakdown across all ten neighbors is: four Journalists (Jeff Goodman at 0.93, Pat Forde at 0.93, Mike Greenberg at 0.93, Todd McShay at 0.93), three TV Personalities (Russillo, Andrews, and Andy Katz — though Katz is classified Journalists; correcting: Russillo and Andrews are TV Personalities, with Sam Ponder at 0.92 as the third), one Comedian (Mulinaro), one Athlete (Orlovsky), and one Professional (Lunardi). Van Pelt's own subcategory — Journalists — accounts for four of the ten neighbors, making it the plurality, but TV Personalities (three: Russillo, Andrews, Ponder) and Athletes (Orlovsky) are well represented alongside them. No single subcategory dominates; the cluster is genuinely mixed across sports-media roles.
The flat shape here reflects an audience that moves fluidly across the sports-media ecosystem — anchors, reporters, analysts, and commentators all draw comparably shaped crowds, with no single neighbor pulling meaningfully ahead of the rest.
