A few years ago you couldn't catch an ESPN report on the NFL without hearing from former NFL QB and football analyst Sean Salisbury. However one day it seemed he simply fell off the map and hasn't appeared on the world-wide leader in sports since 2008. Apparently Salisbury was unhappy with ESPN because he was disgruntled about being paid and respected less than former NFL players who had had much more successful playing careers. Salisbury's contract was not renewed and he was replaced by the likes of Trent Dilfer and Tim Hasselbeck (who of course also had mostly unremarkable careers with the exception of Dilfer's Super Bowl run with the Ravens in 2000).
I bring this story about Salisbury up because I finally just discovered where Salisbury resurfaced. Sean Salisbury can now be found every fall as the voice of the Lingerie Football League where he does play-by-play and analysis. I can't really decide if Sean is in a worse of better position now than he used to be. Obviously he's making less money and has to judge the decision-making and mechanics of women who are playing tackle football instead of actually using his football knowledge but at the same time those women are playing tackle football in their underwear. That kind of seems like a zero-sum equation to me. Regardless I thought I would bring that up because I can now post of video of the LFL on this blog.
