Irvin no longer with ESPN

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

It's funny becasue I go back and forth w/ my Cowboy friends. They tease me about Dexter so I give it back to them about Irvin.

TAFKAS any insider info on why he is no longer with ESPN?
Irvins contract was up and ESPN chose not to resign him. I think it had a lot to do with the comments he made about Tony Romo's ethnicity on the Dan patrick show way back on Nov. 20.

And you are sure this is the reason because.....?

I was in Daytona the past few days so no, not really. I do know that his contract was up and they were looking to make some changes. I'll ask the NFL guys on Tuesday when I go back to work.

I'm actually upset about this because I've always enjoyed Michael Irvin as a commentator. I think the Sunday NFL Countdown crew was great when it was Irvin, Young, Boomer, and TJ.

Actually, this creates a problem for Dan Patrick. Who will step up to fill in the large block of ass-kissin' time vacated by Michael Irvin

I thought Irvin was OK. Funny at times. Though I hated how he and TO had that ridiculous unspoken bond.

I like Aikman a lot. I can't stand Moose as a commentator; for one thing he's way too negative. He puts guys down left and right. For every positive thing he says about somebody, there are 10 negative things. He's the Captain Bringdown of any football game. Plus he raises his voice a lot and it just seems shrill and annoying.

I liked Irvin primarily because he was different, and he was real. He was always appeared to be enjoying himself, laughing and slapping around with the guys. I liked that, it became more of a conversation with four knowledgeable football guys and Sean Salisbury rather than the same old stale pregame show. I'll miss his energy.

Once I found out the HOF announcements would be made the same weekend as the Super Bowl was being held in Miami, I actually joked with my brother that Michael Irvin might not make it to work on Sunday. If I was in my hometown, and I just found out that I made it to the Super Bowl, and all my "U" brothers were in town to enjoy the SB. I mean even I got flyers about all the parties that were going on down in Miami for SB week, plus the added perspective of having been there in '99, and I knew it was going to be trouble for Irvin.

Jacked up will never be the same to me...

I am not surprised at all. This is pure speculation on my part, but did anyone see Irvin on the remote set in Miami during Superbowl week. His speech was faster than usual, his mood was elevated (more than usual), he was more intrusive than usual, cutting off others who were talking, and he looked like someone who was coked up. I remember thinking that he looked high at the time. I think that is why he was not re-signed. Of course, this is my own opinion.

This is one of the funniest posts that I have ever read.
