It is about what we like and what we want to watch and I cannot imagine there was a great viewer push for such a dud like Cris Carter. Why is this stuff so obvious to us and so hard for the numb nuts in charge of ESPN and their ilk to understand?
They're just aren't many available former NFL players with television experience at the moment. But everything is always "so obvious" to those not involved (and that includes me)

Well, couldn't they have at least made an attempt to bring back Marty? I wonder who else would make a good comentator? It's not like the bar is set high with guys like Hodge and Emmitt.

I wish though that they could find more Ron Jaworski types. Sure its fun to tease the way he sounds when he disects plays, but he always brings quality information to the table. On top of that he rarely seems bias. Even when the Skins played the Eagles last year on MNF he seemed to call a fair game.

Or maybe they get Jon Miller to switch from Baseball to Football. I also think Steve Young and Tom Jackson are pretty good. Lets see, who else? As stated before I like Golic and Schlerath (sp?). Ray Lewis would be an interesting one.

In my opinion Fox has the best group of guys, but then again they only have to work once a week during the season so maybe they just have more energy.

I imagine FOX has Aikman locked up for a long time, and they should

I am guessing his "body of work" had more to do with it rather than one singular incident. Of course in one incident his "body of work", so to speak, didn't get him fired at the time, which is unbelievable, so maybe they just decided he needed some time to finally get his ass hauling down I95 towards DC as he promised.

Carter... Salisbury... Hmmmmm...

I guess Carter is the lesser of two evils.

I'd rather Salisbury had stayed.

Re: Salisbury Done at ESPN

Let's see, Salisbury took pics of his junk and sent them to co-workers, started every sentence with "there's no question," "I'll tell ya another thing," or "there's no doubt in my mind," and personally insulted on-air the best football analyst the network has. Plus he was a lousy pro player. And then he asked for a 7 figure salary for his "expertise?" The guy is a classic meathead. I never watched a clip of him and felt more enlightened or informed after he was done running his mouth. Bye Salisbury. Don't let the doorknob hit ya.

And they replace him with Chris Carter? Ick. Clayton and Jaworski are the only two NFL guys on that network worth a damn IMO. As much as I like Schlereth for his Redskins affiliation, he could be more of a meathead than Salisbury. SmootSmack, throw on a suit and come out of the production room! Your network needs you!

It was probably that as well as this incident:

Re: Salisbury Done at ESPN

It's not like he's even being considered, but Rick "Doc" Walker deserves the job. I guess he's too decent of a guy. I don't understand why he's toiling through the world of Saturday afternoon Duke vs. N.C. State football games (unless that's what he wants to do), when he has so much more to offer than the previously mentioned hacks (Salisbury, Carter, Aikman, and I'm sorry to say Theismann).

Re: Salisbury Done at ESPN

This is rather shocking to me. I had no idea anything happened with Clayton. They always seemed to be at each other's throats, but I thought it was for the camera's.
Why was he released or quit SS?
