IceDogg Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I would think that the drug incident during his time working there had something to do with it. Plus if you watched much I got the feeling he wasn't liked by many of the other analyst at ESPN. He seemed to talk out of turn quite a bit too. But I'm not on set so I wouldn't know for sure. I'm not for or against Irvin, just making observations.

Purple Haze Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I always thought Steve Young was glaring at him, as if to say "do you ever shut up?" I'm surprised he lasted this long.

christracy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 HE SUCKED!! He was a homer through and through, was a go-between cheerleader with that idiot T.O. (and even if i wasn't an eagles fan i still think that) and had NO objectivity. He was always for the flamboyant types and always defended them. As great as that is to bring another perspective to the table he always backed up all the guys that weren't "team players" of the NFL and did it with weak arguments. Do they all have to be team players no but at least have some sense! I can enjoy my ESPN NFL Sunday Countdowns more starting next year!
