USA Today reports: Former ESPN football analyst and NFL quarterback Sean Salisbury has fessed up to what has become an Internet legend: that he took a cell-phone picture of his private parts in a bar and showed it to a female co-worker.
Salisbury was suspended by ESPN for the 2006 incident and fired two years later, but had previously denied doing it in an interview with Deadspin.com.
Now he opens up to USA Today’s Michael Hiestand.
“I was ashamed, and I didn’t want to say anything,” Salisbury told the paper.
“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.”
That said, Salisbury has filed suit against Deadspin, which he outlined in two bizarre and rambling e-mail exchanges with the site’s editor in August.
