| Salisbury out, Carter inSean Salisbury, never at a loss for words, said Tuesday he's leaving ESPN after 12 years to "expand my horizons. 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." ESPN offered a far shorter farewell, wishing Salisbury the best. - Quote :
Insiders say Salisbury's contract was up and some at the network found his on-air style grating and were troubled by off-air issues.
Salisbury, who paired with Steve Rosenbloom during a short-lived stint as a morning host on ESPN's WMVP-AM 1000 in Chicago, reportedly was suspended in 2006 for sending an inappropriate photo from his cell phone.
The incident made him a target of blogs such as deadspin.com and thebiglead.com.
Salisbury's agent, Steve Mandell, could not be reached for comment.
Salisbury essentially will be replaced by former All-Pro wide receiver Cris Carter, who will begin April 1. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/cs-080226-greenstein-izzo-big-ten-network,1,2250319.column | |

| Thank god. On a side note, Cris Carter is one of my favorite analyst and I'm glad he got a job after Inside the NFL went off air. | |
