Hey. That Sean Salisbury is pretty good on the radio. He ought to get his own show. But, maybe he should start with a local show before moving on to a national gig...

and he's with "the silliest". i know what i won't be listening to this morning..

I mistakenly caught a few minutes of this when I got in my car this morning, and they were talking about Michael Jackson. From some unknown reason the Silliest was positing that every kid gets 3 classic albums in their childhood. He mentioned that Thriller was one of those albums. OK, I don't understand where there theory comes from or what it's based on, but I'll give you Thriller, it's a great album. Salisbury asks him what the other two are. He says Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run" and Pearl Jam's "Ten". That must have been one hell of a long childhood, since Born To Run came out in 1975 and Ten was released in 1991.

I heard a "Rob Peter to pay Paul" and I switched the station.

Edit: I turned espn 1000 back on at 8:50 and they were talking about the 2005 white sox compared to now. Sean said "They all had career years that year including Jermain Dye, Jim Thome, Tadihito Iguchi......"

Same old Sean can't get his facts together. If they had Jim Thome then they would have gone 11-0 in the playoffs not 11-1.

And poor seany cakes had to be sent home last night so he could get some sleep and be prepared for this morning. They should have sent him home last year.

I thought I heard him mention Thome. But if they would have had Thome, they might not have won the WS without Aaron "da fire and da passion" Rowand .

I cought that too.
Sean once again proving why his "local" Chicago show was such a smashing success.
Joe, I think you need to e-mail this to MJH for next week's Critics segment.

I never knew why they chose Sean Salisbury to host a local Chicago sports show. The only time he spent here before that, he was holding a clipboard on the Vikings' sideline.

i'm not defending uncle rico, but let me put things in perspective here. you have a guy who already is pretty incoherent, and sloppy with his facts ana ana ana his speech patterns.

but you're putting him on the air with less than 2 hours sleep? i'm surprised he didn't say anything about ozzie guillen playing for the 2005 white sox.

He's had about 5 months to sleep

I will email it in to Critics next week....if I can remember.

Salisbury is fine on a national show. I don't really have much interest in him talking local sports though - I'm sure he was more concerned with his corporate ESPN job, and focused on that much more so than actually watching many White Sox games.

I disagree. Not only did Sean not know his local clubs, but he would jump on every bandwagon for a player nationally too. The Tony Romo bandwagon, Bob Sanders bandwagon, etc.

Anyone hear Eric K (or C) this morning? They were talking about the top stories of 2007 and the Appalachain St / Michigan game. He said a bigger upset was Stanford over USC. I can possibly agree with that. He stated that Stanford was a 41 point underdog, making USC a seven touchdown favorite. Now I know a touchdown is actually only worth six points, but in the sports wagering industry, don't we usually refer to a touchdown favorite as being favored by seven points. That would have made USC a six touchdown favorite, Eric.
