Sean Salisbury Says Goodbye To A.J. Daulerio, Whom He Once Sued

Sean Salisbury Says Goodbye To A.J. Daulerio, Whom He Once SuedWe're still roasting our former editor A.J. Daulerio, who has moved across the room to edit Gawker, a theater industry trade publication. Our guest now is Sean Salisbury, a former ESPN analyst and our onetime adversary.

When Tommy contacted me and asked me to write a "roast" for A.J., my first thought was: Are you on crack? Then I thought about it and decided what the hell, time to bury the hatchet and put it all to rest. Although the last several years have been pretty tough, I harbor no bitterness or animosity toward A.J. or Deadspin. I wish nothing but the best for A.J. and hope he finds the same things in life that I'm working toward—success and peace. As the thoughts went through my head I couldn't help but think of a few finer points. Like, A.J., can you imagine how much better the controversy would have been had the iPad been around a few years ago? Dang! And then there was this tidbit: Hey, at least I made somebody's Hall of Fame. And finally, I couldn't help but think: If only I had grown a 1970s porn 'stache like yours, my friend. My best to you on your newest career venture. Oh, and by the way, stay tuned for a national TV project with a major producer and another prominent former ESPN personality, coming to your television soon. Life's good! @SeanUnfiltered.
