Your comments really make no sense. I have been a Redskin fan since the George Allen days. I really enjoyed Irvin and he was one of the main reasons I tuned into the ESPN shows. He's funny as hell and you need a guy who mixes things up a bit. You need a guy who is funny and says off the wall crap. I like Jaws and he played for the Eagles and I hate the Eagles more than the Cowboys.
What does that say about ESPN that someone tunes into their NFL show primarily to watch someone like Michael Irvin. I guess the most entertaining TV these days is created by people with zero character!

The irony is that ESPN hired the Tuna. Out with one ex-Cowboy, in with another!

It's all of them together. I love watching Jaws too. Jaws is great how he breaks down teams in the film room. He's a true pro. I like Jackson too. He's kind of in the middle. Steve Young is Mr. Goody Too Shoes. But Irvin is just nuts. You can't have all the guys acting the same. You have to have kind of a bad ass in there. A guy who adds controversy.
I like the CBS show now that JB is in the studio. Shannon Sharpe is pretty good too. He's funny as hell and kind of acts like a clown. But I'll tell who is great on that show is Charley Casserly. He adds in some great pieces and I always try and catch Charley. He's got great connections throughout the league and gets great information.

I'm an old school skins fan, and i really liked Irvin. but, after defending T.O. to the very end made him look like quite the a**hole. and jaws is the man. i swear no one breaks down more film then jaworski. all of them, together, make it work

once irvin got on the set, he was extremely biased towards the cowboys and TO, and because he was so overly biased, jaws turned into a shameless eagles homer and TJ a broncos homer. he kinda screwed the whole place up.

Yeah it was really sickening to hear him stick up for TO like he could do no wrong.
Local radio sports guy in SW Florida said word inside ESPN, they were afraid of what problems might be coming with Irvin. They chose to dump him now and avoid the train wreck.
Sad to say but it was probably only a matter of time before he got himself into trouble again.

This is what's wrong with many fan sites today. Just because someone is a Cowboy you hate them. While I hate the Cowboys as an organization, and when you put that uniform on you're most likely my sworn enemy, that doesn't mean you can't look at things objectively. First of all, I believe there are announcers that are much worse for Irvin. Thank god not everyone interviews like Joe "Tells ya nothing" Gibbs. You need guys like this to make interviews interesting. He brings a players perspective to the game, which I like.
Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Irvin was a good player. If you can't see that, you're blind.
If I remember correctly, Irvin said if anyone should be in the Hall of Fame before him it's Art Monk. It's just stupid to blame a player for being voted into the hall of fame. He doesn't cast a vote.
What a bunch of BS...."You need guys like this to make interviews interesting".....what a crock.....The NFL doesn't need Irvin for anything.......and i never said he wasn't a bad player
Then you are going to jump on Coach Gibbs "Joe tells ya nothing Gibbs" ...What do you want to hear? Ya think Coach Gibbs has a lot of other things to worry about than giving us some stupid quote to chew on.. ... I know we went 5-11, and I know Coach Gibbs is doing the best he can... You need to be slapped by Irvins Pimp Hand.......and yes you do probably wear silver and blue panties.......freakin cowboy loving choad
What more could someone say?
