Salisbury Done at ESPN

Leave it to ESPN to fire a clown and replace him with a jacka*s...

We've got to give ESPN some credit. They do produce some damn good shows and do employ some pretty outstanding individuals, such as John Clayton and our very own Smootsmack. I don't care for Carter either, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Thanks. Don't forget EEich and DGreene28. They do some pretty damn good work here as well. But look, just about everyone of us has good and bad coworkers and can say both positive and negative things about our companies. Just so happens mine is under a bigger microscope here and it's fun to pick on the big guys.

I wish we had done better than Carter but he's just one person here. And who knows, he may surprise us all.

Aw shucks.

The Worldwide Leader in Sports... ahem.

I am sure that a large % of ESPN's employees are excellent at what they do, but they have certainly made some questionable hires when it comes to on air NFL talent. I mean they hired Emmit Smith and he can barely get out a sentence. I know you work there Smoot and your in a tough spot to criticize people directly but you have to shake your head at it in general.

On a positive note, I think Jaws is the best in the business so it's not all bad.

Salisbury fired for showing some woman his penis, and Isiah Thomas costs his company $11,000,000.00 and still has his job. go figure?

Isiah Thomas = Hall of famer
Sean Salisbury = a journeyman with no clear talent, and a seemingly bad attitude.

Just goes to show you what people will forgive if you've acheived something.

Sean Salisbury is a douche but that is funny

Sure they've made some questionable hires (Emmitt on-air is abysmal) and those are usually more scrutinized than the solid under the radar hires they make. I don't know where you work, but you mean to tell me that ESPN is the only place that makes questionable hires? Of course not.

But I don't see why I have to shake my head at it in general.

I've always liked Cris as a 3rd, or 4th commentator kind of guy...

I can handle him in small doses, and hopefully they'll realize that.

The problem is when they promote him to "The Guy", he just seems to ramble on. Maybe it's just that my ADD can't handle it. I don't know.

Personally, I wasn't mortified by Salisbury... he wasn't horrible and I couldn't care less about his personal life (bring Marv Albert in!).
