Does this mean we won't get to vote on him in the Media Approval ratings? Or will only those of us registered as independents get to vote?

And yet Emmitt Smith is still employed at ESPN as a sports analyst. Ouch.

"I'd grown tired of being punished for not being an NFL superstar. Analysts who don't work as hard as me, don't prepare as hard as me, and don't have my resume were making more than me just because of their ability to throw or catch a football.

"I'd done nothing wrong, and if you hear otherwise, it's not true. I did everything that was asked of me."

...I assume that Dana Jacobsen was the one who asked for the penis photo.

Hopefully this mean that ESPN is switching up their style over substance positioning as of late.

Yes, let's remain hopeful about this, because if they are going to choose substance over style we'll be seeing the end of hacks like SWS, Berman and Stuart Scott.

@Innings Eater: You want an ex-Viking as an ESPN analyst? I've got two words for you: Fred. Smoot. For those of us who are anxious to see footage of a double-donging incident involving Erin Andrews and Adriana Monsalve, Smootums is our only hope.

Chris Carter doesn't exactly set the world on fire as an analyst, either.

But I'm liking this Vikings circle of change. I look forward to ESPN analyst Tarvaris Jackson in a dozen years.

Wait. No, I don't.

Salisbury's "brand" is an outline of a large penis. It's on his left thigh. He was wasted in college, man. Just wasted.
