Salisbury is the same way. He comes across as a complete jerk on air, and he can be a pretty loud guy off camera. But he works (worked) hard and is very approachable. Sometimes I feel like he tried to keep a persona up on-air that completely backfired.

As a sports fan, I'm not so upset that he's gone but as a colleague? Yeah he did some pretty awful things but overall he wasn't an ass on a regular basis. Unfortunately, there are several people who-surprising to many-are.

Rumor is FOX Sports has made him an offer

Glad to hear that he isn't what most people perceive. But when you're on TV, the way you act on TV is how you'll be judged by the public. And rumors of sending around pics of your package doesn't help with your peers OR the public. Hopefully he'll learn from whatever mistakes he made at ESPN and find success elsewhere.
