ESPN fired Michael Irvin

[GagHalfrunt]

About freaking time they got that buffoon off the airwaves.


No link, they just announced it on Sportscenter.

I guess that white blood he had in him didn't matter to ESPN.

It's about a time. He's a crack smoking loser.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Well, he was universally loathed for being a loudmouthed, clueless, incompetent fool. He should have been fired for that long ago and wasn't. So it appears that this might be due to the racist remarks he made about Tony Romo late last year.

No but the white powder probably did.

 

[SmoochyTX]

I'm glad. I couldn't stand listening to him.

I was surprised they hired him to begin with.

You may have answered your own question.

Did ANYBODY like him? He was just awful, and you could tell Berman and Tom Jackson couldn't stand working with him.

Edit: And I think Steve Young was legitimately scared of him.

I think he's ok except he often talks like he's on Michael Irvin's crack.

 

[thegimp03]

Jeeze, finally. I couldn't stand Irvin.

 

[eits]

good. he was terrible.

i did like, however, how he defended t.o... he was the only one who was willing to explain t.o.'s point of view. no one else gives him a chance (maybe because he doesn't really deserve one, but still).

 

[Compton]

I never understood why they would hire a crackhead in the first place.

 

[PrelateBishop]

I'm a huge Cowboys fan, but every time Irvin opened his mouth it made me cringe. I think this is a positive for ESPN.

 

[imported_Mike]

Irvin and TO should do their own show....except they would bitch to the producers each of them wasn't getting enough air time.

 

[Justin218]

He never should have been given an analyst job to begin with

Is he the guy that provoked the football player to attack him by calling him Chris?

Jim Rome was the host.

Ah yes, that sounds more familiar.

Rome kept calling Chris Everett Chris Evert.
