WAS SALISBURY SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK?

We've decided to kick off our five-year anniversary by stirring up a little ****.

A trusted industry source tells us that ESPN recently suspended NFL analyst Sean Salisbury for a week. Salisbury is now back on the air.

And we don't know what's worse for Salisbury -- the fact that he was suspended for a week, or the fact that no one noticed.

Before going with this one, we contacted ESPN. We reached ESPN spokesman Mac Nwulu and asked him if the information is accurate. He called us back within 30 minutes and said only that ESPN does not comment on personnel matters.

We told Nwulu that if he were to tell us that there had been no suspension, we would kill the story.

He didn't, so we haven't.

If Salisbury was not suspended, we invite Salisbury or someone from ESPN to set us straight. At this point, however, we have no reason to question our source on this.

Last year, ESPN suspended Michael Irvin for a week after Irvin failed to tell the network that he'd been arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia.​

Last year, ESPN suspended Michael Irvin for a week after Irvin failed to tell the network that he'd been arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Huh? Irvin was suspended for failing to tell the very network that reported it?


:laugh2:

 

[Catch-22]

Watch it be something like Salisbury was on vacation or was sick.

News to me for sure--wow

[Hoov]

[TheSkaven]

Salisbury suspended

<snip>

He must have had too many good things to say about the Cowboys.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

He called us back within 30 minutes and said only that ESPN does not comment on personnel matters.

That's strange, watching ESPN this morning it was reported that College Football analyst Brian Kinchen was suspended for one week for using the word "Gay" on the air during a broadcast last week.

I thought I remembered Salisbury commenting last week on the change to Romo. I'm not sure he even missed a week. These guys just get bored and make up stories.
