Sean Salisbury Out

Sean Salisbury happy to be gone from ESPN

Sean Salisbury had a good run at ESPN, but he said the idea of his leaving the sports network was mutual. He asked ESPN for a seven figure deal, knowing they would reject it and he would be free to purse employment elsewhere.

Sean Salisbury indicated he was happy with the way things turned out when he spoke to a reporter from the L.A. Times.

"I'm a free agent," he said. "I've been liberated. I knew this was coming, but I couldn't be happier.

"I'd grown tired of being punished for not being an NFL superstar. Analysts who don't work as hard as me, don't prepare as hard as me, and don't have my resume were making more than me just because of their ability to throw or catch a football."

"Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the opportunity ESPN gave me, but they had capped my ceiling. There was only so far I could go there."

"I'd done nothing wrong, and if you hear otherwise, it's not true. I did everything that was asked of me."

"I have created a brand and it's time to expand into other opportunities in TV, radio, Internet, publishing, movies and public speaking, among others. My resume speaks for itself."

Nothing quite like burning your bridges. Let's hope that Salisbury finds a new job, because the one at ESPN probably won't be opening up for him again.
