Sean Salisbury done at ESPN.
Didn't see this posted anywhere. But it was in Minnesota area newspapers that ESPN didn't renew their contract with Sean Salisbury. Thank god.
ESPN apparently also signed a contract with Cris Carter, I guess to replace him. Cris Carter is actually pretty bad too. At least his stuff on Yahoo.

Cris Carter's bad, but anything beats listening to Salisbury. Carter might at least beat out Emmitt Smith.

YES!
He's so terrible. Basically if you won your last game, you're playoff bound. He had such terrible knee jerk reactions.

There isn't one good analyst outside of Tom Jackson on that network. They need to stop looking at former players, the gimmick is so old.

I believe the football analysts on television are like 90% fail, 5% average, 4% good, 1% Chuck Norris.

NFL Network kicks the crap out of ESPN. Mayock, Sanders, Mooch, Davis, and the gang just mop the floor with those guys (outside of Jackson, Stink, and Wingo).

I'm glad they got rid of him. I couldn't stand him.

Do you have Dish Network?
I have Dish Network, and they took away NFL Network about a week ago.

They will probably just replace him with another player that no one has heard of or they will bring in a HOF caliber guy who will suck and look like an idiot, like Emmitt.
I laugh at the idea that just because someone played in the NFL that they are automatically qualified to be on TV and analyze the game. If they wanted to truly contribute to their broadcasts, they would bring on a former NFL scout/GM or someone like that who's job it was to be a good analyst.

Randy Mueller was a good analyst. Maybe they will bring him back?

Call me crazy, but does anyone else actually like Keyshawn Johnson? I think he does a fairly good job. Especially compared to some of the other people they have.
