Here's the Michael Irvin speech that I promised earlier ... just a few highlights that could be considered ironic, but for the most part, it's actually quite endearing. It's a heartfelt speech, and, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that Bishop T.D. Jakes was mentioned at a Pro Football Hall of Fame press conference.

For whatever the reason, this seems to have meant more to Michael Irvin than it did any of the other guys. Probably because they know they can't celebrate it quite like Irvin can.
