For what seems like forever there’s been a story/rumor of Sean Salisbury taking pictures of lil Sean with his cameraphone and then showing the pics to then co-workers at ESPN. Well it’s 100 percent true says Salisbury. Sean wants his career back so he’s opening up about the past. I guess the coaching in the Lingerie League isn’t the same as having a full-time TV gig.

From Michael Hiestand at USA Today:

“I was ashamed, and I didn’t want to say anything,” says Salisbury, who was an NFL quarterback for eight years and an ESPN NFL analyst for 12. “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.”

But what Salisbury, 46, is admitting simply substantiates what’s already an urban legend on the Internet: that he took cellphone photos of his private parts and showed them.

Yuck. Salisbury says it only happened once — “a sophomoric mistake” in a Connecticut bar in 2006 — for which ESPN suspended him for a week for then-unspecified reasons.

Salisbury goes on to say one little mistake shouldn’t have cost him his career.. And he’s dropping his tell-all book about ESPN. I hear he’s focusing on a coffee table book instead with nothing but pictures of his penis. Just kidding Sean, don’t sue me.
