Deadspin
So yesterday, on his radio show in Chicago, Sean Salisbury addressed the whole "did he say Jew or not?" issue, using his platform mainly to trash those lowly bloggers and let everyone know that his soul is pure of spirit and that he hugs cute puppies, even Jewish ones.
Mainly, Salisbury is saying that he clearly said "chew" and nothing close to "Jew," which, if you've listened to the audio, seems specious at best. (Don Imus played the clip on his radio show this morning and said what any reasonable person would think, that he said "Jew." And Don Imus knows everything!) The thing is, once we listened to the tape, we were rather far from convinced that it was some sort of anti-Semetic rant; to us, it just sounds like a verbal slip, a guy talking live on television who got stuck between two words and said the one in the middle. So we'd all be willing to let it die, but Salisbury just won't allow it, hollering to anyone who will listen — not many people, mind you — that he never, ever said "Jew." (This interview in the Chicago Tribune probably isn't helping.) The wise thing here would be to simply say "hey, I'm on live television, and it's hard, and sometimes I talk too fast, and the word 'Jew' came out when I was clearly trying to say something else." Or, you know, just let it die. We had let it go, simply putting out the audio and letting everyone decide for themselves. But the more Salisbury screams "I never said 'Jew," the more we fear he's starting to protest too much.
In other words ... maybe it's time to sit a few plays out, big guy. We don't think most people believe you hate Jews. The best way to make sure that stays the case is probably to stop mentioning it for a while. If you stop, we'll stop. Deal?

Yes, dude, yes.
(assuming they're legal, of course.... and we're not in Georgia.)
Salisbury also addressed the "camera phone incident" rumors by stating: "hey fuck you guy. STAGE 3 FUCKING CANCER?!?!? i'll show pics of my cock to whoever the fuck i want!"
It's ok for Salisbury to put his arms around those girls, unless he's at a Boston Market.
I like how Will addressed Sean directly, since we know he reads the site.
It's ok, Sean. Just sit back, relax, put on some music...hey! You put that away right now, mister!
That's a nice stick he has between his legs....wonder if he plans on passing this photo around too.
I want the shirt on the right. (Not the girl, the skirt.)
And Salisbury is turning into an even bigger idiot with every passing day.
I'm Sean Salisbury. Go Jew yourself San Diego.
The best part of that Trib article? He's probably going to get replaced by Tom Waddle. HA-ha!
Don't you know I would never fucking say the word fuck! FUCK!!
Was that picture taken at the headsets.org annual golf tournament?
"Jew? I've never even said Jew, I've never even said that word. Is that a word?"
I lost track of this somewhere. Did Reggie Bush take money from some Jews to taunt Brian Urlacher?
However, when I say "Sean Salisbury" on accident it IS because I hate him.
Dude, seriously, who gives a fuck?
Sorry I'm late to this post, I was Heebing my sandwich.
But isn't his sister married to a black guy?
"I never said no filth-flarn-filth, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm offended that you called. Fuck you."
it's shocking that salisbury wouldn't know to take a couple of plays off. after all, he was a career backup quarterback.
it's what joey harrington would have done.
TSW, i'd be happy to help separate her from her clothing and keep her occupied while you make off with the shirt/skirt
"We've all made mistkes, but that wasn't a mistake."
Ok, Sean, but what about the showing female co-workers pcictures of your wang on your cellphone? Was that part a mistake?

The mistake was sending a picture, rather than a live presentation.
so..this thing is kinda being beat to death.
"Next time motherfucker calls tell him I said suck MY dick."
And this offends you as a Jewish person?
No, it offends me as a comedian!
Nice stems.
"I love Jews, to the point that my parents even had me circumcised. Look, here, I have proof!"
so..this thing is kinda being beat to death.
So, we're talking about L'il Sean again?
Why is Salisbury being so arab about this?
Those chicks got some serious tummy bulges going on.
What a schmuck.
"Lucy, jew got a lotta splainin to do!"
I'd like to have money for a TICKET!
Maybe if ESPN would let their analysts speak in other styles than "screamo", stuff like this wouldn't happen.

Let's write it letters!
"Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here."

Glassjaw wants everyone to know that they have nothing to do with Sean Salisbury or his antisemetic rants.

lt winslow - fair deal. Just promise me you'll loan her a pair of shorts or something. No one likes to do the walk of shame sans clothes.
Man.... Sean has he epitome of the shit-eating grin in this picture. It's like he knows he's a talentless shmuck.

MMFC: that's just the polo shirts and the way they're tucked in. We used to wear polo shirts as part of our high school uni, and if you didn't tuck them in tightly , that "bulge" is what occurred. Our school mandated that we tuck in all shirts, but I never did. But I got the demerits to prove it.
i never do the +1 points thing because it seems ridiculous...but the lil' sean, that thing could go on forever. there's substance with that story....not so much here

Okay, honesty time here guys: How many of us are now wondering what MC looks like in HS uniform?
IIIIIII would like to talk to youuuuuuu, about...the...things...that...you..say...on....your show.....NOW!
(Raising hand)
Now this is a longshot, but what if....ESPN personalities saw Berman lose to Barbaro in the SHOTY Finals and plan to win it this year. Thus, Salisbury has taken it upon himself to do something so stupid on purpose...only to put himself in the running for next years SHOTY?
Don Imus' turkey neck and jowls know all.
Lil sean pisses excellence.

All the kids are calling it a FUPA these days
Or in Parcells case, FUDA.
apopros of everything.....lt winslow are you getting pleny of sleep and vitamins for next weekends threesome? I am counting on living vicariously through you for the weekend.
Somebody listened to Imus?
