what do u guys think of him? i know he can be a bit harsh sometimes but i enjoy his thoughts on the nfl. also, does anyone remember him as a player? was he any good?

what the hell is the guys name on there the ex player with the evil gotee....hes a fucking asshole of the highest degree. he was the only one in a debate on that show defending shawn alexanders fucked up selfish comments....

he was a career back up who thinks hes joe namath.

the "shonald" routine a few weeks ago was fairly comical

Salisbury always has been and always will be a bum. His constant bickering with Clayton is absolutely pathetic. Clayton knows 10X more football than Salisbury does and Salisbury consistently puts him down because he's a "nerd." The worst thing, in any sport, is an announcer who was a former player and therefore thinks that they are the smartest people on earth and/or they could still play their respective sport today. I'd take Jaworski on ESPN anyday!

hell yes, especially when you were a fucking career back up and act like your a freaking hall of famer.

Well done boys.

Are you talking about Mark Schrelreth or however you spell his last name? The bitter OL from the Broncos?

Yeah both he and Salisbury are douchebags. Unlike Michael Irvin, true playa fo' real.

He was a backup QB for the Vikings. 'Nuff said.

That is just a bit. He doesnt actually think he knows more than Clayton because he is nerd. And his job is to critique(sp?) what he sees on the field, and I'm sure that not everything he sees is positve. Thus, he has to be negative. And I have never heard him say once that he was a great player, or anything along those lines. I think he is a good commentator.

I seen that and It made me not like him more.

John Clayton knows so much about football its sick! I dont always agree with him but atleast he tries to see things Sean's way sometimes.



I'd listen to Clayton anyday.

i really don't think clayton knows that much, to be honest. the whole clayton-salisbury skit is made to be that way. i'm a fan of salisbury, as i am with schlereth too. i respect guys who have been on the field - they know what's going on out there.

i really hated salisbury for a long time. but recently, i just take him for what he's worth and get a kick out of him. try viewing him simply as comic relief among the "booyahs" and in depth analysis of clayton.

he's like the equivalent of terry bradshaw on fox

Of corse its "made to be that way". It doesnt matter what you are watching. If two guys are talking about sports with another guy asking the questions you already know they are going to have different oppinions. That just makes for good TV.

lunkin,
here is a quick recap of salisbury's nfl career as stated in
the star tribune by fat patrick reusse:


Rich Gannon had started 12 of 16 games as the Vikings went from 8-8 in 1991 to 11-5 and the NFC Central title. Gannon was banged up, and the Vikings went to Sean Salisbury for a time, with the idea of allowing Gannon to heal before the playoffs.

Salisbury did some politicking with teammates that he was the man for the job and Green wound up with a split locker room. He went against the consensus of his coaching staff and chose Salisbury as the starter for a Metrodome playoff game against Washington.

The final was Washington 24, Vikings 7. Salisbury went all the way, leading the Vikings to totals of nine first downs and 148 yards. He was 6-for-20 for 113 yards passing, with two interceptions and four sacks for 38 yards.

Gannon was traded to Washington for a draft choice. Salisbury stayed to serve as the backup to Jim McMahon in 1993

Salisbury then would prove his acumen for judging talent -- in this case, his own. He had been making $1.1 million to serve as the Vikings' backup. He was a free agent, and Green told him he would be the Vikings' starter in 1994 if he agreed to the team's offer of $1.6 million.

Salisbury said that wasn't enough for a starting quarterback. Green shrugged and traded with Houston for Warren Moon.

Salisbury tried to interest Detroit. His sales job included saying in a radio interview that opposing defenses were "terrified" at the idea of a backfield that would team him as the quarterback with running back Barry Sanders.

Eventually, he signed as the backup in Houston to Cody Carlson for $1.1 million.

The Oilers were trying a run-and-shoot offense, which did not fit with Salisbury's slow feet. He was cut. He came back to the Vikings as the No. 3 quarterback, behind Moon and Brad Johnson, for the league minimum of $162,500.

So, there's the track record for ESPN's Mr. NFL:

Six-for-20 for 113 yards and two interceptions in his biggest start. A 90 percent reduction in his original salary offer and two spots lost on a depth chart as a free-agent negotiator.

This is the NFL sage you're listening to on ESPN's outlets 12 to 14 hours day, seven days a week. This is the larynx that never rests.

He must be thanking ESPN for hiring his broke ass. He sucks as a player and a TV dude.
