    or lack of personality, than Jemele Hill?

    She's talking to Floyd Mayweather right now. Just had this exchange:

    JH: So tell me what semi-retiri means.
    FM: It's when I fight maybe once a year, or whenever I want.
    JH: You realize that's not really retiring, right?
    FM: I know...that's why it's semi-retired...
    JH: Oh...ok

    Always talking like she's reading off cards. Just wrote a garbage column on Lebron and Vogue. Boring speaker. Why does she get air time? Sorry, had to get this off my chest.

    Never seen her live, but her article on Lebron sucked balls and that exchange seems pretty horrid too.

    Thumbs down.

    As soon as I saw the thread title the first name that came to mind was Jemele Hill. She is horrible, both as a writer and as an on-air personality. The few times I've seen her on TV it was just really painful to watch.

    She normally sucks anyway but REALLY sucks doing Rome's show. She tries to be like him and is horrible at it. I mean, Rome sucks at being Rome and she's worse than him so she REALLY sucks at being Rome.

    How is being a female a minority? Aren't they 51% or something? ;)

    They shouldn't hire anyone no matter what their color or sex if they are this terrible.

    Oh . . . ok?

    Stuart Scott, Stephen A. Smith, etc.

    I'm glad they tanked Sean Salisbury. Why they had that douche and John Clayton going at it on a nightly basis still baffles me.

    From Wikipedia:


    Also in 2007, Salisbury referred to John Clayton on-air as a "Cryptkeeper," which has been suspected by many to be a possible reason for his firing. [4]

    On February 26, 2008 Salisbury's contract was not renewed by ESPN. Salisbury suggested, according to Profootballtalk.com, that he was unhappy with his salary and status compared to those analysts who were more prominent players in their NFL careers. Salisbury explained, saying that “I’d grown tired of being punished for not being an NFL superstar,” He also complained that “analysts who don’t work as hard as me, don’t prepare as hard as me, and don’t have my resume were making more than me just because of their ability to throw or catch a football.”[5]

    Salisbury told the Times he already has a job offer from Fox Sports Net and a non sports related opportunity with the CBS television network."[6]

    On March 7, 2008, Creative Artists Agency, world reknown talent agency, the same that represents, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, have confirmed they now represent Salisbury[citation needed].


    [edit] Suspension
    In the fall of 2006, Salisbury was suspended by ESPN for one week, allegedly for indecent exposure. A column[7] in the New York Post by Phil Mushnick on January 19, 2007 confirmed the suspension. According the the allegations, Salisbury took a picture of his penis with a cell phone and showed it to many women who worked at the station.[8]
