chiefjay Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Same here. So you are saying that you're better then Darin? I mean I know I am but not so sure about you. But you do play like your black so I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 On the flip side, they hired Cris Carter. Great. . .another analyst with no playing resume to speak of. . . And yes, that WAS sarcasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSUChiefsTarheelFan Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Thanks, I know the definition of sarcasm. Sarcasm or not, from what you posted it was unclear whether or not you knew that SAS did, in fact, play college basketball. Dude was decimated by injury and was, by admission, a rather average player. But at the guy at least has some experience in the game. More than me, you, or anyone else here. How do you know how much experience I have with the game? I played in high school. And have been playing on a city league team for about 8 years now. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter leagues. Not to mention I was an assistant coach of a high school girls basketball team for two years in the late 90's. I am sure it was hard for SAS to stay in a game because his big ol' head probably made it hard for him to dribble and shoot the ball.

Avernus Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I liked Salisbury and when/if he goes to NFLN, it only makes them look that much better than ESPN in comparison... I like Eisen, Woodson, Faulk and adding Salisbury would be great....if they would just drop Deion for Irvin...I think that would be the best lineup for sundays...

keggerz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think that I am one of the few people here who actually liked Sean Salisbury. I didn't always agree with his take, but I think he showed a lot of football knowledge and did a pretty decent job for ESPN. Oh well, time to move on Sean. i liked him when he first started out with ESPN but the past few years his head has gotten BIGGER and BIGGER and his shtick sucked.

Bill Swerski Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Also, he reportedly was suspended for showing cell-phone photos of his penis to colleagues at the network. Alright, well that's pretty gross and pathetic. I wasn't aware of this little tidbit. Why in the world would you be showing other colleagues your twig and berries? Because pro athletes are generally uneducated, egotistical morans who think that every woman in the world still wants them when they're 10 years removed from an unsuccessful pro career. Despite his arrogance, I thought that he was a decent analyst. Too bad that he couldn't act like an adult at work. On the flip side, they hired Cris Carter. Nice. Thought he was good on Inside The NFL and liked him as a player as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Not to mention Steven A. has so much experience playing the game of basketball. It's kind of hard not to take him seriously. Either way, playing experience doesn't have to relate to being an analyst. Charlie Weis never played and he's a pretty good OC... Howard Cossell wasn't a football player, but he did pretty well on MNF... I think this thought process leaves us with a bunch of meatheads sitting behind mic's. I know dude...it was a joke.

On the flip side, they hired Cris Carter. The reason why they let Salisbury go. I liked Salisbury and when/if he goes to NFLN, it only makes them look that much better than ESPN in comparison... I like Eisen, Woodson, Faulk and adding Salisbury would be great....if they would just drop Deion for Irvin...I think that would be the best lineup for sundays... I would stop watching NFLN if they hired Irvin. He has a radio show in the Dallas area and it's just painful... Yesterday he was ranting about how Randy Moss is expendable because you can find speed guys, but guys like Wes Welker can't be found... He then went onto say that the Cowboys should go after Moss, but only if Moss understood that this was TO's team... He's painful. I've quit listening to ESPN radio after The Heard wraps up daily.

Are you an ESPN analyst and/or sports radio personality? Didn't think so. I think he was a sports writer right here in NC. I agree he has done well for himself. I guess one of his positives is that he does a better job than Emmit Smith. If I had to choose between firing him or Salsbury, then I would have to agree with you and let Salsbury go. They both needed to be gone IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a good, well-mannered history. And btw, I'm not saying on-court/field experience has much to do with success as a coach or analyst or whatever. I think it helps, but it's not an end-all. I was pounding the Smith/Salisbury comparison because both are considered, by many, as "annoying", and both had somewhat unspectacular careers ON the court/field. Salisbury, at least, made it to the larger stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also became a Chiefs fan. I was born in NC and was born a Tarheel. The first outfit my dad bought for me at birth was a Tarheel BASKETBALL uniform. Lifetime Tarheel Basketball fan. Since college KSU football fan. And the first NFL team I had the opportunity to follow was the Chiefs. Does that help you out? Tool out...

Azazello1313 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 "I have grown as much as I can at ESPN and decided to expand my horizons," Salisbury said in a statement. "I have created a brand and it's time to expand into other opportunities in TV, radio, Internet, publishing, movies and public speaking, among others. My resume speaks for itself as a football analyst, and I believe I can talk all sports with the best of them." what an obnoxious tool. good riddance, and good luck with all those "expanding horizons" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Too many wrongs here. First of all, where are all the people bashing John Clayton for not being a football player? Steven A. knows as much about basketball as any analyst knows about the sport they cover. I can live with any delivery style as long as the content is accurate and thoughtful. Frankly, no other analyst knows the NBA like him right now, other than maybe Ernie Johnson. As for Salisbury....I could live with the bravado if his opinions were accurate. The guy is just flat wrong way too often. To me, he never understood the big picture well enough to have the job that he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
