Sean Salisbury Gets The Final Word. I Think.

Sean Salisbury Has A Few Things To Get Off His Chest

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Sean Salisbury

I hadn't planned on Sean Salisbury making the Final 10 cut of nominees until ...well, until AJ's wild interview with the man. It's just an amazing glimpse inside a man's mind, in a way that made me (and, I suspect, a lot of you) extremely uncomfortable. More »

Sean Salisbury Isn't Angry Anymore

And here we have the second portion of our interview. It's more of the same, but Sean does calm down (somewhat) to emphasize a few things. Even though he sounds enraged when he's telling you "he's not angry." He's wholeheartedly trying not to be, but I get the sense that he could sound enraged when he's ordering a pizza; he's just an amped-up guy. More »

Sean Salisbury Has A Lot On His Mind

Sean Salisbury is at a transitional period in his life and talks rapidly — almost haphazardly — about anything that pops into his head. He's overtly defensive at times, and in our almost 2-hour phone conversation yesterday, he went through a deliberate unloading process. It was therapeutic, unhinged, and veered dangerously close to being completely out of control and incomprehensible during certain segments. Sure, it might be a calculated move for him to agree to this interview due to his new role at OPEN Sports, but he hasn't talked about what happened to him at ESPN or being at the ass-end of so many jokes, "rumors", and blind criticism until now. He was as candid as he could be, but for the always charming legal reasons, he can't go into specifics on some things. More »

Sean Salisbury Has Finally Conquered His Fear Of The Internet

There have been numerous stories about what Sean Salisbury's been up to since his unfortunate dismissal from ESPN last winter: He's been sulking quietly at home; he's been popping up at random football camps; he's just been hanging out doing his Salisbury-thing, embracing his new found freedom to cavort with the ladies and be a gadfly without ESPN management scolding him. Unfortunately, none of the stories ever included new-found employment. But we can all breathe a little easier because it appears Sean can finally stop using ESPN's Cobra benefits:"Sean Salisbury has teamed up with OPEN Sports for daily blogs and video. "Salisbury's Take" offers hard-hitting analysis for the NFL and college games all season long." Oh boy. More »
