While I agree with most posters here, Irvan just grates my nerves, I shall miss him.
Two years ago, the Irvan/Young debacle was just great TV. The anger flowing from Steve was priceless. I really thought Steve was just going to throw a right-hook at Michael, before the year ended. Everytime Irvan would "touch" him, I could see Young's face get red as hell.
Good stuff.
This past year (Young surprisingly NOT in studio

), Irvan still brought his aggrevating style, yet this time, it seemed everyone was rolling their eyes at half the stuff he said. Still funny.
Yes, he sucked, but I will miss him (Now that it is official), and would have prefered "Mush Mouth" Sharpe to be replaced on CBS, then Irvan on ESPN. But that is a topic for another day/thread.
