It took a few years, and it required his career to bottom out. But former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Sean Salisbury finally has admitted what everyone in the media already knew.

He once was suspended by ESPN for taking a picture of his penis with a cell phone and showing it to at least one co-worker.

Salisbury makes the admission to Michael Hiestand of USA Today. But Salisbury insists it happened only once. "I was ashamed, and I didn't want to say anything," Salisbury said. "I thought it would go away and let my ego get in the way. Since then, I've beat myself up about it more than 10 baseball bats could. A stupid mistake can cost you, and this has really cost me. I should have been having this conversation a long time ago."

In August, Salisbury vehemently denied the rumor/report in an e-mail exchange with the folks at Deadspin, claiming that the zip-click incident "never happened." (Salisbury later sued Deadspin; it's unknown whether his soul-purging will include a dismissal of the lawsuit.)

So, frankly, it's hard to believe anything Salisbury says, now or in the future. And that credibility issue likely has done far more damage to his attempt to find gainful, consistent employment in the media than what he now calls a "sophomoric mistake." (The legal system has another two-word phrase for it.)

"It was stupid --dumb!-- but not malicious," Salisbury now says of his cellular misadventures. "How can it ruin a good career? . . . I've gone from being on six days a week to disappearing. And it's not like I wanted to disappear. . . . But it feels good getting it off my chest."

Salisbury's communications with Deadspin (best link of all)

"I thought it would go away and let my ego get in the way. Since then, I've beat myself up about it...." i misread that quote the first time through..

he obviously was showing it to john clayton. unfortunately for sean, john's was bigger.

I guess it's OK to smoke crack and associate with hoes and other lowlifes, but showing off your Johnson is a career-ender.

I can't believe someone could dumb down whipping out a picture of your junk to make it sound like it's on the same level as not doing your own dishes in the breakroom but you pulled it off.

Compared to smoking crack and hanging out with hoes (ala Michael Irvin)? Yes, that's about the level. And thanks for the compliment :thumbup:
 
How can it ruin a good career?

Except that it wasn't "good." Salisbury was one of the worst analysts that ever worked for ESPN, which is really saying something.That may also have something to do with why his career is in the tank.

This is like MagWire admitting to taking steroids but saying it didn't help him hit home runs. Salibury had several harrassment issues even before this incident. He makes it sound like it was some sort of isolated incident. It wasn't.

 
It's like shooting fish (Pen15) in a barrel (bathroom)....I've never done it, but i'd imagine it'd be pretttttty easy.

 
Most recent entry on Salisbury's Wiki profile:

On January 29, 2011, it was confirmed by me that Salisbury is now a play-by-play annoucner for the LFL (lingerie football league). This is considered to be a step forward in his career.

Salisbury was horrible - he came off as a complete jerk on the air - people with little talent dont deserve a second chance - there are other lines of work . . .

 
I just don't get the big allure in #### shots. It's obviously some sort of major thing that people just have to do. I guess when you have a camera and five minutes of free time what else do people expect you to do with yourself!?

People just have to do this huh?Some chick dont want to see his schlontz, well slap him, he'll get the picture, lol. Does everything have to involve the bosses or authorities? Cuz people who cant handle their own problems have to get them involved.Not everything should be an issue.To me the real crime that not many realize, IS MATT MILLEN STILL HAS A JOB ON TV...all Sean did was show a pic, but Millen can lead a team to 0-16. I'm offended by the 0-16 more.

~ 2 years ago a buddy of mine who worked at ESPN, laughed when I asked him about this, he said. "that's Sean, and said that it was his calling card, happened all the time"
 
How did this clown ever get on ESPN to begin with? And how Matt Millen has any credibility is mind boggling.
