Irvin no longer with ESPN

Irvin was terrible!!!! He reminded me of this guy D-Bomb I used to see at the bar who was a cowboys fan and would always argue with me.

Aikman on the other hand is the best booth announcer in years. Seriously, who can come close to him right now?

If Michael Irvin or Troy Aikman (especially) weren't Cowboys at one point, most of us would enjoy them as commentators. As Gman and I were talking about, he said that Irvin said too many dumb things, which is true. But for the most part, he wasn't the worst announcer.

On the other hand, I think Aikman is pretty damn good.

Aikman does a good job. Irvin is a total hack and I don't think there are many people who would disagree. He is completely biased often and rarely shows a good grasp of the intricacies of the game. All he knows is how to make stupid comments and talk to TO. There's a reason no one argues with him on ESPN. Because you can't win an argument with a moron. Good riddance.

The only thing Aikman and Irvin have in common was the cowboys. Aikman works hard and is a pretty good announcer. Irvin just spouts...he lacks the inteligence for a serious debate or discussion on the air so he just screams over top of everyone he's working with. He's awful...

I guess he got what he wanted, HOF, and is ready to move on. Good riddance.

I have to agree with you about Aikman. I think he has made a very good analyst for Fox. Out of all the analysts that have came to fox in the last few years, I think Aikman is one of the best. Of course I still dislike him because he was a Cowboy, but I'd rather have him calling games than Maas or Baldwinger.

Didn't really care one way or the other about Irvin when he played. He was TO before TO came into the league minus the media aired insults to teammates and coaches. I do think he is one of the most overrated players of the last ten years and in no way is he better than Monk. As far as a commentator if you heard him once or twice you knew what his stance would be on most issues and that is why he wore thin.
Aikman is a good color guy (one of the few, I mean Simms' Spotlight? who is his target audience, 10 year olds who have never heard of the NFL?)
Moose is probably the worst and not because he used to block for Emmit Smith but because he thinks he still has to kiss up to Norv Turner, Jerry Jones or anyone with a star on their helmet! Jimmy Johnson doesn't bend over backwards to kiss Dallas butt like Darryl Johnston.

TAFKAS any insider info on why he is no longer with ESPN?

Good, glad they caned his butt! Now him and TO can have plenty of time to spend together. Bring on TUNA FISH to take the spot of DOPE HEAD. Get rid of one EX COWGIRL bring on the next. The TUNA you can at least understand, good move ESPN.

I must say one of the reasons I liked watching all the ESPN pre game shows was becasue of Irvin. I think he's funny as hell and real good on TV. He was the type of player that if he was not on your team you could not stand him. Kind of like B. Mitch. He says some dumb shit but that makes it interesting. He's was a nice change up from Jaws and Jackson. So what if he likes to party. I think it's funny as hell that he goes in hotel rooms and does coke and ecsatsy w/ strippers. It makes good headlines. He's not a role model but not everyone's perfect. Did anyone believe him last year when he got caught with a pipe in his car? Said he was hiding it from a friend? C'mon!


why am I not surprised that you would find that funny?

In a stunning twist, Art Monk will replace him!





just kidding...
