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, Deconstructed By Science
A new study, one of those studies that old white men who don't get out of the office much put together ostensibly to justify a life in which they will die alone and covered in graham crackers, makes the claim that the feeling of being in "love" exhibits behavioral changes most consistent with psychosis and that being in "love" stimulates the same part of the brain as drug abuse does. In other words, love equals heavy drug use. And you know what that means: Time to check in with Michael Irvin! More » -

Michael Irvin Has A Theory About Tony Romo's Speed
We mentioned this briefly yesterday, but it kind of looks like the story has a little bit of legs under it now, so let's dive back in. ESPN "analyst" Michael Irvin, appearing disheveled (or as disheveled as anyone can sound on the radio), was on the Dan Patrick Show on Monday, and apparently he had some strange things to say about Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, seemingly claiming that he had some slave blood in him, or something. The Big Lead has the pseudo-transcript:

Steve Young Can't Take It Anymore
We're sure, in the wake of a ridiculous $1.7 billion dollar deal, the folks at YouTube won't let this stand very long, but if you watched "SportsCenter" this morning, you say Michael Irvin — shockingly! — ramble on like, well, a retard for about five minutes about why the Ravens belonged in the top five of the AFC but the Broncos didn't, even though the Broncos had just beaten the Ravens. The entire crew — even Stu Scott! — took turns trashing him, but they cut out the best part, which is Steve Young above. Enjoy while you can. -

Professor Irvin's Class Is In Session
The Miami Herald points us in the direction of something that was new to us: The Michael Irvin Academic Resource Academy. Irvin recently dedicated the "learning center" in Ft.

Who's Your Favorite Sportswriter's Binkie?
Inspired by a comment in this morning's story about Jason Whitlock and his rips on Michael Irvin, a commenter named Mr. Poon — who runs this site — pointed out something curious about Whitlock. Namely, that Whitlock, in pinch, will fall back on his blind spot; his odd belief that Jeff George (a high school classmate of Whitlock's) was/is, in fact, a great quarterback. George is, essentially, Whitlock's "binkie;" his safety blanket, an athlete that he "champions and claim sis better than anyone else is willing to admit." More » -

Whitlock Roasts Himself, But Mostly Roasts Irvin
Fascinating column this week from The Kansas City Star's Jason Whitlock, who, of course, is well-known to most by his frequent appearances on ESPN, television, online and otherwise. While discussing an apparent "roast" planned for him in the Kansas City area (featuring potshots from Tony Kornheiser, Mike "Hey, Where's My TV Show?" Lupica and, inexplicably, Jeff George), Whitlock strays from the company line momentarily in discussing ESPN "colleague" Michael Irvin. More » -

Analyzing Irvin's Explanation, Matlock Style
All right, so we know we've harped on this quite a bit already, but we don't want to be all flippant and blog-like on you here: We have to delve into this Michael Irvin business a little bit more. You see, we want to dig down deep into Mr. Irvin's explanation of why there was a pipe in his car, examine it from the inside-out, Baseball Prospectus-style. It appears that Irvin's "explanation" for the pipe, because it was delivered "cracked with emotion," is being accepted as reasonable, not just by ESPN brass, but by most people. We do not know the man. But we have to wonder. We have to analyze. We are journalists, lo! More » -
