As to the original title of the thread - I heard the end of an interview with Salisbury on Mike and Mike and M&M had apparently brought up Salisbury's statement because they were talking about how long it would take to make the walk. The bottom line was that Salisbury said he would now make the walk IF THE SKINS WIN THE SUPERBOWL.

Strangely enough Salisbury didn't see this as reneging on his original statement. After one the hosts made some softball remark like "So you really are going to take this walk if the Skins win the Superbowl?", Salisbury said "Definitely, I AM A MAN OF MY WORD".

What BS! If he was a man of his word - HE WOULD BE WALKING ALREADY.

I never thought much of him as an analyst. He is the classic talking head jerk who watches a film clip or two and then repeats what other "experts" are saying. But now I simply don't have any respect for him. His prediction on the 'Skins was just warmed over BS that he thought would be a safe bet. It demonstrated that, as an "analyst/commentator", he'll just talk out his ass and make whatever stupid prediction he wants with absolutely no accountability.

Why should any football fan give any credence to anything he says?

I was also pissed that M&M didn't call him on his BS. They cozied up and let him off the hook.

Didn't mean to rant but I just get so tired of these journalist/analyst/commentators holding themselves out as knowledgeable when, in fact, they aren't nearly as informed as the locals AND failing to 'fess up when the screw up.

Hell, Salisbury is such a wimp - If Taylor had spit on him, Salisbury would have probably apologized for getting in the way of ST's loogie.
