Another screw up from a guy from the "U". 
But really, this is rediculous. I agree evryone deserves a second chance, but he has had his share of chances. They need to give him the maximum sentence for being a repeat offender. He got off easy the last time and apparently it did not work. There are plenty of other capable people that can replace him.

Yup, give him the maximum sentence for drug paraphenalia. $500 fine?Another screw up from a guy from the "U".

Why all the love for Irvin? He is a prominent figure in football that has been in trouble for drugs not just one time, but before. He is not a role model, he is a bad person. I could care less what happens to him but if you wanna talk about Karma, it looks like Karma hit Irvin, not me. I always thought this way about Irvin. I'm done with this topic... I will just leave with this.for the police officer serving the community who busted the IDIOT michael irvin!
Watch what you say about Irvin on here... he is a fan-favorite!

Now we know why he acts like such a fool and backs guys like TO. ESPN just got a break as I would guess they were down on his overall on air performance. I say he gets suspended and then let go...thoughts? I never liked the guy off the field.

Do you have a source that supports this claim? Thanks ahead of time.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy...not only is he the worst NFL analyst on ESPN, he's also a guy who was all about success on the field DESPITE being a bad person (with bad habits) off it. Berman disclosed the arrest at SNF halftime, I'm guessing Irvin will be relieved of his duties or, at the very least, not have his contract renewed after this season.

I wonder if ESPN is going to kick him when he's down as hard as they did Owens.

Irvin is a horrible commentator, he is obnoxious on the air, and he is a convicted criminal off the air. I never understood why ESPN brought him on. I've always said someone needs to tell Irvin "Just because you say it louder doesn't make your opinion better / more aplicable than someone elses." He is brutal and obnoxious, and I am hopeful that we no longer have to see him on Sundays.

Right, cause I'm sure none of us have expressed these views before. It isn't like a bunch of the Super Bowl team were thugs - oh wait, what about: Erik Williams, Leon Lett, Nate Newton, Michael Irvin....The guy is a dug addict. And on TV he happens to be annoying and lacks any meaningful insights. During the Thanksgiving Day pre-game, he commented on a team's prospects (sorry, can't remember the team) by saying "I really like this WR, so I'm picking his team to win". Unless that WR is Jerry Rice in his prime, that's just a stupid statement.

Thumbs up to the implied sexual pervert..."Cunning Linguist"...I'm a pot smoker. That said, getting caught with paraphenalia is not "misfortune" it is a choiceI had a nice rebuttal for this all typed up but was in fear of a banning. All I can say is wow, what an ### you are to celebrate someone else's problems. I really don't care for Irvin as well but would hate to think that I would take satisfaction in someone's misfortune like you are. You say once a druggy always a druggy, I say once an ### always an ###. Good luck with that Karma.
As an Eagles fan... good. Shows the character of an ##### like this. Once a druggy, always a druggy. Its a damn shame too... once a role model, now an idiot.
...for this is about the only logical post that I have come across in this thread.Bottom line..."you reap what you sow", but I will never judge another on the BIG issues...that spot is reserved for someone greater than myself.However, I do feel that I can say that Irvin is not my favorite analyst...no biggie...get good help Michael.

Yes I do. Common sense is the source. I did not say anything about a source, I said its my guess on things if you read what I said? I mean all that hand waving yelling foolishly on air stuff just looks silly especially when he is wrong more often than not.

for real..he may have just cost himself any chance at the Hall now..great timing for such bad publicity huh?

Tom Jackson is privately (or maybe not so privately) grinning from ear to ear right now. TJ had the hardest time stifling his absolute despise for everything Irvin stands for on the shows they do together.Mike Irvin is a [jerk], a terrible analyst and he just pissed away a great job.

You made a statement that suggested something was said or talked about from ESPN. Common sense does not apply to the real world. Irvin I am sure somehow, some way brings ratings to the table or else they would of cut him before they brought him. Controversy sells. Maybe you are not educated correctly... I will re-word it to how you should of said it...
"If I was at ESPN, I would be down on his overall on air performance." You made the comment like it was taken from ESPN theirselves and all I did was ask for a source, if you do not like what I say... hit the ignore button. Have a GREAAAAAAT Night!

Definitely a HONDA on my part...hence the merge with this initial thread.Either way, I stand by my view that this couldn't have happened to a better [or worse as the case may be] person.Hopefully this will put an end to Irvin's far too extensive run on ESPN media outlets.

LOL @ all the Irvin haters. You chumps all have egg on your face big time. Irvin says the pipe belongs to a friend of his. Case closed.

Yeah... and Michael Jackson didnt do it.

Irvin just gives another point of view and opinion.What's wrong with that?If you don't like watching him, there are other stations.I try to flip through the channels and watch them all.At least I don't fall asleep listening to him.I don't often agree with him, but at least he is not just repeating what is said by everyone else.Now that would be boring.

If he keeps his ESPN job it creates and interesting parallel with him and his good buddy TO.Two guys talk bad about McNabb(TO and Rush), one a player one an ESPN analysts, both lose their jobs.MI is again caught with a tie to drugs and R. McMichael is bust for again beating a women and they keep their jobs. The sports world really has a clear vision of morality. 
PS- I can't stand what TO did, but when he is slammed and R. McMichael gets yet another slap on the wrist if just makes the league look ugly.

I knew he was back into drugs just by watching him on TV. This didn't surprise me. I Loved him as a player but was wondering when Ditka was gonna square back and hit him on them pre game shows. lol

Well, hopefully, he won't get to AXE anymore questions.

Yeah, and I guess all that coke he did during his playing days was only to ease the pain. Please. He's a repeat offender. Do I think being caught with pot paraphenalia is such a bad thing? No. But its illegal and he should know he's under a spot light.Stop apologizing for him.
And I do think some ppl on this board are 10 years old.

And you buy this?
I don't know if you have kids but if/when you do, you are going to be

My quick take. This blows over and Irvin keeps his job.Not saying that's the right thing or the wrong thing. I'm saying I think that's what happens.J

I remember Irvin getting upended at the Vet and carted off. I did not remember that as career ending. Guess I'm getting old and forgetful. As for the "news" this is about as shocking as finding out Siragusa had seconds during his thanksgiving meal.

You are an Eagles fan. You cannot talk objectively on this subject.You made a statement that suggested something was said or talked about from ESPN. Common sense does not apply to the real world.
