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.

    I thought he came off that way as well.

    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.
