I have it on good authority that Salisbury just sent a train-shaped Valentine to Lisa Simpson that says "I jew-jew-jews you!"

He said "jew" and I knew exactly what he meant, even if it technically doesn't make sense. I know we all like to slur precisely.

Maybe losing all that weight so quickly with the Nutri System is causing his brain to malfunction.

West Coast Bias — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 10:16:43 EST

Count me among the commenters who think he absolutely said "Jew." And he used it in that glaringly casual way that makes me believe he's the type of person who doesn't think it's a big deal to use "Jew" in that way. To insist, like ESPN has, that he said "chew" is ludicrous and offensive. At least say "Yes, he said 'Jew' but it was an unintentional slip."

I'm going with a silly combination of "jab" and "juke" and maybe the off chance that ESPN has a hot Jewish intern standing just behind the camera.

So saying Jew on television is like saying bomb on an airplane.

Only when you work for a bunch of -bergs, -steins, and the like. Although, since this is Disney, you'd think they'd be okay with a little antisemitism in honor of Walt.

Did your geography teacher ever talk about his special "friend"? Maybe he had a young TA?

And like most of you, I think there should be a federal law against Salisbury being allowed to provide football analysis. Hell, he might be a hardcore anti-semite. Had he said "much like the Holocaust, Brady's miraculous 4th quarter heroics never happened," it would be different.

I just don't think he meant to say Jew. And nickel and dime, well, it would be different if it were baseball or basketball, but football has nickel and dime as terms.

Well if it was "chew" as in clock that makes no fucking sense at all, since the Colts were down 21-3 and chewing up the clock in that situation is a technique only Ron Zook would suggest.

A geography teacher of mine once wrote something about the Italian "penisula" on the board in class. Ha. Penis.

I think he SAID Jew, but didn't mean it. It's like a processing error. He's thinking both juke and chew, and says Jew because he can't decide which to say and he can't pause because he's on camera.

You know what? I'm gonna take the stance that he said "jew", not on purpose but certainly not by mistake either.

He was in the middle of making a point, which sounded someone ad-libbed in nature. Only a couple seconds after saying "they jew", he said "they'll nickel and dime you".

That Just Happened — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 20:29:36 EST

I certainly heard "jew." It's tough to ignore with the whole "nickel/dime" reference.

I doubt it, but maybe he doesn't think "jewing" something is a slur and didn't realize he said anything wrong. I've heard worse. I had a friend of mine in college refer to a black guy on TV as the "missing link" and didn't know it was offensive. He assumed it wasn't because that's what they used to call a white kid in his high school that was rather "oaf-like".

Needless to say, the black kid in the hall had a chat with him.

He definately SAID the word "jew," but I'm almost certain he meant to say another word (chew or juke), and screwed it up. I think this falls along the same path as the FOX announcer who made the Lou Piniella/"I'm watching my wallet" thing, just because even if it WAS a slur, I have no idea what he meant by it.

Still, he should have already been fired for the dick photo, and for being Sean Salisbury in the first place. Why can't this monster die?!?!

"I can't read or write" - Jeff Goldblum as portrayted by David Duchovny.

There's no K sound, so I don't think it's juke, and chew doesn't make any sense. Although Jew doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. I get the money thing, but unless that's an expression within some football circles, I doubt Salisbury created it on the spot. If I were him I would go with the Jeff Goldblum defense. Oh, and then check into rehab for alcoholism. That's what everybody who fucks up does anyway.

Juke down the field? Has that phrase ever been used in the history of professional football?

Sorry, I'm going with the "Jew" / "Nickel and dime" connection. Maybe I can be convinced it's "chew", but I've never heard of that word in that context before either.

I just think it would have taken some serious thought out of Salisbury to draw in the "Jew" reference with "nickle and dime." And as we all know, Salisbury doesn't have time to think about stuff like this. His dad has stage three cancer, and he has to show some female coworkers pictures of his dong.

I would say that he meant to say chew but he said Jew, which I'm willing to accept wasn't a slur until somebody comes up with a good reason why it is ("Jewing down the field" might mean something I don't know about). But if he said juke, ESPN would have just said he said juke, which would have actually made a lot more sense than either "chew" or jew.
