From the New York Post....


Is ESPN on the verge of cutting ties with NFL analyst Michael Irvin?
One industry source believes the decision has already been made, and that some at the network view the outspoken Irvin as a ticking time bomb, ready to explode into a public-relations nightmare.

ESPN did not confirm or deny the report, but issued a statement, saying: "We are currently in the process of discussing studio assignments for next season."

I haven't been this giddy in quite some time. What a way to start a Friday! Certainly there's more to come, but it would be a great move on their part. Also, is it possible that they are doing this in preparation for the Harold Reynolds Trial? What are your thoughts on this, and the possible replacement......Bill Parcells?



Could We Be In Danger Of Losing Michael Irvin?

The New York Post, which is never ever wrong, tosses out some potentially fun Michael Irvin/ESPN gossip this morning.

One industry source believes the decision has already been made, and that some at the network view the outspoken Irvin as a ticking time bomb, ready to explode into a public-relations nightmare.

ESPN did not confirm or deny the report, but issued a statement, saying: "We are currently in the process of discussing studio assignments for next season."

As incomprehensible and insane as Irvin might be on television possible replacement Bill Parcells just doesn't have near as much fun with ties. Or cocaine, for that matter.

While I respected Irivin as a player, I did not approve of the way he lived his life (nor did he ask). He has "found the Lord" & cleaned up his act from all reports. I do enjoy him on tv though, he adds some spice & has fun with it. I think he stays unless he veers off path again in his life.

Yea he cleaned up. Unless you consider the drug paraphernalia found in his possession recently unclean. But of corse, a "friend" accidently left that item behind.

Irvin parts ways with ESPN

Two weeks after his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Michael Irvin is out of work. Irvin and ESPN have officially parted ways, ESPN spokesman Bill Hoffheimer said Saturday.

"Michael will not be with us this fall," Hoffheimer said.

Hoffheimer stressed that Irvin had not violated any contractual morals clause. Irvin has been a regular on ESPN's two primary NFL studio shows, Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night NFL Countdown.

"This was a decision that came from our annual review," Hoffheimer said.

Irvin was not immediately available for comment.

NFL analyst Michael Irvin no longer with ESPN


ESPN announced that Michael Irvin, who had been an NFL analyst for ESPN since 2003, is no longer with the network.

ESPN Communications Vice President Josh Krulewitz issued a statement, saying "We thank Michael for his contributions to ESPN and wish him well."

Irvin retired in 2002 after 12 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame during Super Bowl festivities two weeks ago.

I don't think ESPN dismissed Irvin because of his inability to articulate on the air. Irvin was dismissed because of his controversial comments made earlier in the NFL season and his perceived off the air legal/drug problems (especially when you consider the rumors surrounding Harold Reynolds and Sean "the moral conscience of the NFL" Salisbury).
