Michael Irvin Shares His Surprising Post-Election Thoughts With the World

ESPN's Mike and Mike in the morning had ex-Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin call in and share his thoughts about last night's election of Barack Obama. He spoke candidly and passionately about what it meant to him, without much of a filter and what seemed little preparation. Based on some of Irvin's past off-the-cuff radio sound bites, one would think this would be an unmitigated disaster. But no — Michael Irvin kind of nailed it. More »

Michael Irvin's Talent Behind The Microphone Speaks For Itself

Here's a fascinating little tidbit picked up by SI's media impresario Richard Deitsch about former Cowboy and venerable Playmaker ("I BLEED ORANGE AND GREEN") Michael Irvin. After getting let go from both ESPN and Fox at various points in his post-football career, Irvin has been hired by the NFL Network to work the league's Hall of Fame induction ceremony on August 2nd.

Michael Irvin, Assaulting Contractors

We haven't had a good Michael Irvin story in a while, and, frankly, we've missed him. (He's John Rocker's buddy, after all.) Anyway, this is a relatively minor key for him, but we've been so forlorn without him that we're including it, regardless: Irvin has been accused of assaulting a contractor. More »

Goodbye, Playmaker

As The Mighty MJD mentioned yesterday, it's official: Michael Irvin is out at ESPN. We're not sure what more we can say about this; we're so sad to see him go, even if the beleaguered closed captioning typists over there don't feel the same way. More »

Requiem For The Playmaker

As you've probably heard by now — in fact, it's the reason you've been holding a candlelight vigil — Michael Irvin has been let go from ESPN. Perhaps surprisingly, It's not for any scandalous reasons... his contract was up, and ESPN opted not to renew it. The Playmaker's stay at ESPN, just like that, ends with a whimper. I know many of you would have preferred to see that Michael Irvin era end with Irvin getting caught trying to snort a line off of Dan Shulman's head. More »

Michael Irvin, Unplugged

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. More »

The Hall Of Fame Is Going To Need A Champagne Room

This one's going to be tough for Redskins fans to swallow. Michael Irvin, in his third year of eligibility, is going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of six players selected for Hall induction today, along with Gene Hickerson, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Thomas, and Roger Wehrli. Absent from that list... Art Monk. Commence bitching, people of Washington. More »

Finally, Rik Smits And Michael Irvin Come Together

Aside from a cocaine-infused party at a French-Canadian brothel, I can't think of many ventures that could bring together the likes of Michael Irvin, Jose Canseco, Kordell Stewart, Darryl Strawberry and Claude Lemieux. Those four are part of the cast for the new season of Pros vs. Joes on SpikeTV. More »
