ESPN replaced Sean Salisbury with Cris Carter this week. I think this sucks.
Salisbury was one of the best analyst ESPN had,....along with Greg Anthony doing the NBA.

    That must be a mistake...Salisbury is a very good analyst

    Didn't Salisbury and Carter play together in Minnesota ??

    EDIT: I see on espn.com Carter in as analyst but they still list Salisbury as one as well

    I'm obviously in the minority here, but ESPN just got much more watchable! I thought Salisbury was smug and condescending.

    I never liked him. He came across as a jerk and a blowhard to me. Just another jock that couldnt be a journalist if he tried. He was moderately ok on radio but I cringed having to watch him on tv.

    Let's face it. Do we really need sports analysts? They're kind of superfluous. So I could really give a rat's ass personally.

    i see the resemblance. however, his hair is the defining object. look at the right side of his head and that comb over. it's cryptkeeper hair. and some days he looks really bad and facially just like the cryptkeeper.

    Hmnmmm, and I've never seen them in the same place at the same time either. Unlike Mr. Mackey and Clayton.

    He was undergoing chemo for a while. That's when he started to look really bad.

    I always thought Salisbury was a tool with the way he belittled Clayton all the time. I wonder if he's off ESPN radio too.

    Sean Salsbury is awesome why the fuck would they get rid of him. I love it when he picks on that panzy John Clayton.

    I'm with all of you in wishing that Bayless would get canned and Stephen A. Smith for that matter. I am glad to see Salisbury go...
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
