Sean Salisbury tells LA Times parting w/ESPN was mutual
The venerable Larry Stewart at our fellow Tribune paper in L.A. has a little more to the story of Sean Salisbury's departure from ESPN.
Salisbury sounds a tad miffed about being treated less well financially than other members of the ESPN crew whom he believes work less hard than him but were better players than him.
He did not name names. Thus I have no idea exactly which former jocks turned analysts he is talking about.

The only analysts who are as bad as Sean Salisbury are Shaun King and Emmitt Smith. But ESPN seems to acknowledge this by having King do the Arena League this season and not the NFL and rumors that Emmitt Smith may be on the outs. But those two guys at least aren't arrogant or act like they know anything other than football like Salisbury does ie his Dan Burton-like defense of Roger Clemens. Actually Marc Schlereth is pretty bad too and is just as arrogant and is just as much of a flip-flooper. But at least he was a decent player who has rings and perhaps will soon be out of ESPN's hair as a soap opera star.
