We'll JEW?!?!?

Sean Salisbury of ESPN combines his admiration of Peyton Manning with a healthy dose of old-fashioned anti-semitism. Michael Felger reports in the Boston Herald:

"What a brouhaha ESPN analyst Sean Salisbury created last week when he apparently used the word “Jew” as a verb to describe Peyton Manning’s dink-and-dunk passing style this postseason.
Several Web sites have slowed down the tape of Salisbury’s appearance and the epithet is fairly clear to hear.
“We’ll nip, we’ll tuck, we’ll go, we’ll punch, we’ll ‘Jew,’ ” Salisbury is heard to be saying during an appearance on the network on Monday. “We’ll do it all. Peyton made the plays when it mattered and nickeled and dimed them all through the second half.”

We'll spin the driedel and turn your Cover 2 into a Cover Jew!

Salisbury went on his local radio show in Chicago later in the week and vehemently denied using the word. According to Salisbury and ESPN, the word he used was “chew.”
“I said crunch and ‘chew,”’ Salisbury said. “I don’t know where a Jewish comment would have any place in talking about a quarterback driving down the field. If an (Internet) blogger heard what he wanted to hear, there’s nothing I could do about that. But I didn’t say anything remotely close.
“People who know me know when it comes to religion, race, color, sexual preference, those things don’t matter to me. At some point you’ve got to defend yourself. We’ve all made mistakes, but that wasn’t a mistake.”
