Irvin no longer with ESPN

[memphisskin]

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...

AMEN! **** "White Lines" Irvin...what a dick off.....I cant really STAND any cowboy in a commentary booth but, IRVIN SUCKED! Aikman is cool though. He's probably the best color commentator around at this point, next to Sam Huff and Jurgensen on Redskin Radio of course! lolol

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!

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.
