Deadspin
We felt a little bad about this, considering we were just on the show, but we don't watch The Best Damn Sports Show Period very often. We think it's because we're in New York. It's difficult to keep up with what channel it's even on; we have a lot of sports stations in NYC. But no Big Ten Network or NFL Network!
Anyway, John Salley has actually been on the show in one capacity or another since 2001, which is a long time to be on any show. We always forget he was in the "Bad Boys" movies, and that he reportedly once dated Teri Hatcher.
Of all those Pistons Bad Boys, Salley always seemed the most sane. Though not always.
So: Do you like the John Salley? Do you not like the John Salley? Let us know, please.
Comments
Approve because he was able to talk Tom Cruise out of the closet.
Basketball player? Approve.
Fox Sports employee? Disapprove.
Not funny, not informative, not entertaining.
Gets my vote for Gayest Picture To Ever Appear On Deadspin.
A breif stint with the Panathinaikos BC. Approve.
Sorry, disapprove. On quite possibly the most worthless sports show on television.
What is DJ Gallo doing with John Salley?
harmless happy go lucky guy: Approve
creepy guy that won't stop touching Will: Disapprove
It's a push.
MAR's need a third category: "Meh"
Michael Imperioli > John Salley
I abstain.
Aprrove. Of Salley. Fuck Tom Cruise.
/Matt Lauer
Eh, he hasn't pissed me off... yet.
Approve.
@Signal to Noise: Not just that, but - as he demonstrated during the interview with Will - the most worthless member of the most worthless show on television.
/Why offer anything substantive when you can awkwardly laugh like an idiot at everything?
@Whitey Fisk: You are just being glib. You don't know the history of photography. I do.
@RachelRayIsTheDevil: Yeah. I would've also voted for apathy with fervor.
Meh.
Good work cleaning up with the Bulls, good nickname, good acting abilities, good Coke-bottle glasses.
Approve. Just because of this cinematic classic: [www.imdb.com]
How could anyone disapprove of "Spider"?
Who cares. Also, what celebrity hasn't dated Teri Hatcher?
Approve.
If just for the line in Bad Boys were he asks for courtside seats to the Heat/Lakers game.
Disapprove based his role as a thug with the Pistons, the idiocy of the show he's on, and that picture alone.
Basically, not even bad enough for tWWL.
Martin Lawrence is a Scientologist?
Approve
Approved because he was on Rescue Me. Who could ever forget his epic portrayal of "Tall Guy"?
John Salley >> The Sunt
Selections like this one bring out the glass half empty/half full in all of us.
Meh
If approved, he's not going to Disney World... he's going to Sea World.
Approve.
@Whitey Fisk: Excuse me?
Where's Buzz?
And I demand a re-count on Costas too.
Approve.
probably that show's only saving grace, well that and Calipari's shirt sleeves.
John Salley is Ladies approved.
[myespn.go.com]
Approve. He made Rodman look like the best rebounder ever. The guy couldn't box out Spud Webb
Much like John Salley on the Lakers in 99-00, I'll sit this one out on the bench.
I disapprove of John Salley being considered "media".
His show is the most poorly rehearsed show I have seen since WCW Worldwide.
Ronaldo approves of the man named Salley.
I saw him in an airport once.
/Shrugs
@Whitey Fisk: Aside from anything involving Brady Quinn, that is.
@The Fan's Attic: Santonio disagrees.
Completely disapprove. Sweeping into grab the Will Leitch sympathy rebound was shameful. Best damn nothing, I say.
Did a fantastic speech at my commencement...Approve!!!
@HIV 2 Elway: You're excused.
Disapprove. His attempt to "host" McKale Madness is 2005-2006 showed how horrible he is at, well, talking mostly.
"I'm a well-wisher, in that I don't wish you any specific harm."
Factoid I didn't know (From IMDB): He, along with Robert Horry, are the only two players in NBA history to win championships with three different teams.
Approve just because he doesn't really irritate me enough to disapprove.
the viewers can't hear you. speak into my huge cock.
Approve
That's an awful lot of mock turtlenecking for one photo. And yes, we like the DJ Gallo.
@The Fan's Attic: Well, now I know how to vote on this...prior to that comment it was "meh." Now it is "YEAH-A."
John Salley? He's like a meringue pie: lacking weight and substance, but not necessarily bad. I could say I wish he were replaced by someone smarter and more analytical, but he works at Best Damn. I'll approve.
Coach Eddie revived his career
Disapprove, at very least because he never managed to inherit the nickname "Mustang."
We're at John Salley?
Is the internet over?
Put up with Kruk for 3 years without going completely insane. Lenny Dykstra & 5 of the 8 Darren Daulton personalities approve.
he's fairly likable, despite being on:
the bad boy pistons, the kobe-shaq lakers, and *shudder* worst of all, the best damn sports show.
so he gets an approve.
I wonder if Spider still owns his house in Palmer Woods that used to be the prime residence of the Archbishop of Detroit, because that was sweet from what I remember in the SI piece.
Oh and approve. Especially since he gets into it with Martin Lawrence when he's playing the computer hacker in Bad Boys.
@millensdraftskills:
Approve. He made Rodman look like the best rebounder ever. The guy couldn't box out Spud Webb Muggsy Bogues.
Fixed.
