Sean Salisbury, who everyone well knows has been fired by ESPN, is happy about his departure, and felt he wasn’t treated as fairly as the “superstars” that broadcast.

“Of his departure from ESPN, which was announced Tuesday, Sean Salisbury said he felt unappreciated and underpaid and he knew that by asking for a seven-figure contract, the result would be a “mutual parting.” “I’d grown tired of being punished for not being an NFL superstar. Analysts who don’t work as hard as me, don’t prepare as hard as me, and don’t have my resume were making more than me just because of their ability to throw or catch a football. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated the opportunity ESPN gave me, but they had capped my ceiling. There was only so far I could go there. I’d done nothing wrong, and if you hear otherwise, it’s not true. I did everything that was asked of me.”

Theory on why superstars are paid more, Sean: When Michael Irvin explains what a wide receiver did wrong, he’s probably right. When Emmitt Smith explains what a running back does wrong — no matter the odd route in which Emmitt chooses to explain it — he’s also probably right. Your backup quarterback experience in the NFL wasn’t enough for you to criticize every other QB that’s ever thrown an incompletion.

Enjoy FSN. We know Max Kellerman did.
