ESPN And Salisbury: The Unkindest Cut Of All

You might have thought the actual firing of Sean Salisbury would be the last shot ESPN could fire across his bow. But no, they've gutted him with the final insult: They're bringing back "Battlebots." More »

Sean Salisbury, Moving On Down That Road, Man

To the casual ESPN viewer, it must have seemed confusing that Sean Salisbury, the former Vikings quarterback who once actually sported a fade, would be one of the most prominent NFL analysts on the world's biggest sports media enterprise. Sean Salisbury? That guy? Really? More »


Competing with our party tonight: A "Cancer Blows" charity event in Glendale hosted by Sean Salisbury and George Foreman. A noble cause, but we wonder how they will grill all that food. [PR Newswire]

Sean Salisbury thanks us for sending people to his site and agreeing that cancer does, in fact, suck. (Or "blow." Whatever.) We also enjoy that the post is coming to us from the future. [Sean "Big Mouth" Salisbury]

Introducing The SSW

For years — OK, a couple of days — Slate writer Robert Weintraub has been tinkering with a concept called The SSW. He might have finally mastered it. This morning, we allow him to introduce his invention to the planet.

The SSW. Or, as it's known in longhand, the Sean Salisbury Wisdom. The SSW represents the I Formation I Ching, the consensus of the football punditocracy, the "Let me tell ya something about this here game" obviousness that the Pigskin Pee-Wee Herman and the rest of the phony-tough, kicker-hating, horse-laughing "experts" who conspire to build the consensus of the SSW bark from the teevee 28 hours or so a day during the week.

Only to be proven wrong on Sunday.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Sean Salisbury

We don't require much to become a Deadspin Hall Of Fame nominee. It helps to have done something embarrassing, or at least epic enough to linger permanently in the collective memory. Or, in a pinch, you can just take a picture of your penis and show it to your fellow ESPN employees. More »

Carl Monday: The Early Years

Ever wonder what drives crusading field journalist Carl Monday? He didn't just pursue the Mike Cooper library case out of thin air; there had to be an underlying force, some childhood trauma, perhaps, which would cause him in later life to obsess over a perfectly ordinary human function. We wonder what that could have been? What psychologically tumultuous event from his distant memory served to push him toward investigative reporting in a trenchcoat? Hmmm. More »

Sean Salisbury Eventually Will Be Doing High School Games In Boise

Citizens of Chicago, your long civic nightmare is over: Your morning radio "star" Sean Salisbury is no longer haunting your airwaves. The Chicago ESPN Radio affiliate isn't sure what they're gonna do with Salisbury yet — he might end up with the plum spot of doing pregame for Bears telecasts — but it appears they're realizing that, sometimes, radio hosts need to be likable and, you know, able to complete full sentences.

Daulerio at SBXLI: Sean Salisbury, Mayor Of Miami

Sean Salisbury Should Probably Relax A Little Bit

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. More »

Did Sean Salisbury Make An Awful Verbal Slip? (UPDATE: ESPN Says No.)

We have been extremely hesitant to post this, because even though we're not fans of Sean Salisbury as an analyst — or as an exhibitionist , for that matter — we've never thought of him as a sinister person, or, say, an anti-Semite. (We're not sure we do now, actually, and we also understand he's going through a difficult private time.) But, in the interest of setting the record, straight, even though we haven't been able to find the clip from yesterday's "NFL Live" program, we've received countless emails claiming that Salisbury made an extremely questionable remark about Peyton Manning and his successful "Jewing" of the Patriots. We still weren't going to run with it, because, as we said, we haven't seen the actual program, and no one has been able to dig up a clip for us. But now it's showing up on other sites, and message boards everywhere, so we simply link to what they're saying, and let you draw your own conclusions until a clip surfaces. More »

Just A Reminder On Our Pal Lil' Sean

After his oddly truncated chat yesterday — perhaps there were too many penis-related questions? — we don't really have too much more to add to the Sean Salisbury story except to remind you once again: More »
