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...
