Sean Salisbury

Sean Salisbury was not -- no way, no how, no sir -- fired from The Fan 105.3 for "sexting." At least, that's what Richie wrote on September 11 about his former radio-station teammate. Gawker Media-owned Deadspin, which has been obsessed with the Frisco resident's Salisbury steak for a long time, insisted otherwise, and so began a lengthy, riveting back-and-forth with the former NFL journeyman QB-turned-ESPN analyst.

Late Friday, the McKinney Courier-Gazette provided the latest chapter in this ongoing narrative: Salisbury has sued Deadspin and Gawker Media for defamation in Denton County Court. (Deadspin, offering no comment save for a lengthy excerpt from the McKinney paper, noted that is has not yet been served.) Jeffrey Tillotson is repping Salisbury, who says Deadspin's made it hard for him to find work. I have been unable to reach Richie Whitt for comment.

Salisbury should stop wasting Denton County's time and tax dollars with his ridiculous lawsuits. He sucked on 105.3 as an analyst, so they canned him. Boo hoo. They canned other crappy analysts like Greg Hill too. Toss in the verbal threats he made to callers on the air, and there you have it. Salisbury is not worth anyone's time or money. *disclosure- I don't work for a sports blog*
I believe that we're missing the important undertone here, which is that even the McKinney Courier-Gazette has better reporting than the DMN.
@ ignoreLander - Yeah . . . yeah . . . yeah . . . . . . 'cept he's my boy, so . . .
Sexting from a radio station? I believe that wiggling his wee-wee on his ESPN picture-phone had been making difficult for him, in the short-term, to find work. I think he has some mild issues with his short-term memory. You'd think this douchebag would just let it die and get his career back. The public always forgets and moves on. But not Salisbury. I mean, Marv Albert used to run around town wearing a Victoria's Secret teddy, stiletto heels, and biting broads like a vampire. Who remembers? Salisbury. What a freak. And a loser.
Well, Deadspin has received the lawsuit: http://deadspin.com/5391121/sean-salisburys-dumb-lawsuit/gallery/
Richie, when you see Sean Salisbury, would do me a favor and remind him that he wasn't so great?
Daniel=not funny
Yeah, I guess it doesn't exactly come natural to me -- but I'm getting better at it ...
your post-fu is weak, young grasshoppa-san...
Daniel, you're the worst at failing.
Fail indeed. Bellyflop fail.
Well at least Norm is not sexting pictures of his monkey hip...
SUPER FAIL!!!
@Daniel FAIL!
I never, ever sent photos of my horrible anus and I never told anyone to lie.

Sean Salisbury sexted me and made propositions so degrading that it makes me well up to recall them. He sent photos of his horrible anus!
i would think showing a picture your dick to people would make it HARD enough to find a job. what a doucher
Just tell RW that you got your technique down and everything, you don't be ticklin' or nothin'. He'll get back with you.
Big Bob, you have to call the All Male Nude Review and Footrub emporium and ask for Shirley to reach RW...he's spending a lot of time over there recently..
