You gotta respect the fact that they recognize how deep they are in rebuilding mode and are not afraid to lose popular players.
Shame they couldn't have done that with Vick...

Well, that's being a bit generous toward the Falcons. More realistically, what they recognize is that Hall has been threatening a holdout unless he is either given a huge extension or traded.

Carolina tags Jordan Gross

Cleveland is close on a 3-yr deal with Derek Anderson

If I were an NFL owner with a douchebag like Hall on my team, I'd move him too.

He's Pacman without the arrests. Dump him at any cost.

Dallas Clark signed a 6-year deal with the Colts.

Hopefully he won't be a whiny little funhole like last year.

He was moping in the only TV interview he's had since the tag.

But don't ask IGY if that's true or not.

ESPN said late Tuesday it was parting ways with longtime football analyst Sean Salisbury. The surprise announcement came only hours after the network announced its hiring of Cris Carter from HBO's Inside the NFL.
"Sean Salisbury has made many contributions to our efforts for the past 12 years. We thank him and wish him all the best," said ESPN spokesman Bill Hofheimer.

Salisbury said in a statement that he had "grown as much as I can at ESPN" and that he decided to expand his horizons with new opportunities in TV, radio, Internet, publishing, movies and public speaking. "My résumé speaks for itself as a football analyst, and I believe I can talk all sports with the best of them."

Networks frequently shuffle their lineups in the offseason. Salisbury's contract with ESPN was up, according to his agent Steve Mandell. "Sean is looking forward to the next phase of his career."

Earlier in the day, ESPN announced Carter had joined the network as a TV and radio analyst. Carter was a plain-spoken TV presence on Inside the NFL. Unlike some league officials, he didn't seem eager to sweep the New England Patriots videotaping scandal under the rug. Carter says there's still major questions that "need to be answered" about the controversy and that many people aren't satisfied with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of the issue. "The Patriots are a modern-day dynasty. If they created an advantage (for themselves), it needs to be looked into."

Good riddance to that douchebag.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 27, 2008, 09:24:23 AM

Seriously. He was a douche as a player and it translated to more of the same as an "analyst".

Buh. Bye.

PhillyPhreak54 · February 27, 2008, 09:28:34 AM

The way he sounded when he was on radio or TV was like he was trying to be a great predictor on everything, like his word was gold and should you doubt him, off with your head.

farg him.

ALthough I'm pretty sure MDS is sad that he didn't see the pictures of Salisbury's meat on the cellphone.
