Sad, I remember how mercilessly Sean Salisbury and Mark Schlereth picked on him at ESPN and always felt bad for him. RIP.

Don't know if you know this...

That whole ESPN segment was theater.

John and Sean remained good friends even after the "Richard pics" episode that pretty much nuked Salisbury's career at the time.

Remember John Clayton's Saturday show in Seattle, he would have Sean on for a segment.

If you check Salisbury's Twitter feed he is pretty torn up about his death.

They actually had a laugh over how "crypt keeper" was scripted one time.

Wow, thanks for the insight. I should have known better.

Everything isn't always as it seems I guess.
