Hey Sports Guys in Denver, will you update your podcast page? We received an email yesterday from a listener who claims ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio went on the show this week and reportedly took a few shots at Brett Favre. Sal Pal supposedly even used the word “slurps” to describe how ESPN is handling the Jets’ QB:

They got onto the Brett Favre issue. Sal didn’t hold back. He outright says he doesn’t like Brett Favre, that Favre is one of the most overrated players of all time, and that Favre is lying and mischaracterizing all the things that went down over that summer. He goes on to say the he spoke with people that were a part of the conversation and that Favre did call the Lions. He also says that he loves his paycheck from ESPN, but the network “slurps” Favre so bad. As an aside, Sal stated that Matt Garza has huge balls. As a pitcher in big games, of course. It was the first time I’ve ever heard Sal pal have personality.

Garza’s got balls? How about Sal Pal? The guy thinks Barry Sanders and Favre are overrated? We can’t imagine how critical he’d be of, say, Trent Dilfer.

Pro Football talks notes that Sal Pal recently made similar remarks to an Atlanta radio station, which helps put credence in this tale from Denver.
