    Lou Holtz doesn't get my vote,
    but only because of Skip Bayless.

    It's one thing to be an assclown like Bayless or Smith, another to actively disparage colleagues in televised segments.
    Salisbury's pomposity was unearned and misplaced.
    He made 12 career starts.

    Can't imagine how Walsh didn't pick up a ton of bitches, looking like a granpda from amish mafia.

    Salisbury's trouble when he played that he always came across as a guy who wanted to be on TV while he was still playing in the NFL.

    Tried WAY too hard to give a colorful quote after each game, win or lose. Tried to be funny instead of being a leader.

    In his later years at ESPN, his ego took over and he would get into these on-air battles with John Clayton or Cowherd and he just came across as an idiot trying to have a strong opinion but not really doing the homework or presenting the insight.

    Salisbury was a mushmouth who would string together endless bunches of words, rarely making coherent sentences.

    Cold Pizza was pure horseshit. Didn't it last like 4 seasons also. Pretty sure Kit Hoover's husband was an ESPN exec.

    NFLN's knockoff, NFL AM, is not much better.

    But Kit was "wild and unpredictable" ... and once upon a time ago, on this very board, Mizzou told us what that really meant ;)
