Michael Irvin is one of the most beloved analysts over at the NFL Network, as well as ESPN's First Take. He is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, and overall, he brings a ton of energy to each broadcast. This week, Irvin has been in Arizona where he was supposed to begin coverage for the Super Bowl. In fact, he was there on Monday to conduct interviews with players and coaches ahead of the big game. Now, however, it appears as though he is being stripped of his duties.
According to TMZ, this is because a woman has launched a complaint over Irvin's alleged conduct. As the outlet reports, Irvin had an interaction with a woman in the lobby of the hotel he's been staying at. Subsequently, the woman issued a complaint about his behavior. After reviewing the complaint, the NFL Network decided to pull Irvin from their broadcast, entirely. Following this decision, Irvin offered a statement to the Dallas Morning News.
Michael Irvin Reacts
"When I got back after going out … I came into the lobby, and I talked to somebody," Irvin explained. "I talked to this girl, I don't know her, and I talked to her for about 45 seconds. We shook hands. Then, I left. … That’s all I know. I don’t really recall that conversation, to tell you the truth. We were out drinking. It was just a friendly conversation. ‘What’s up?’ I don’t even know. … I am totally perplexed." Additionally, Irvin went on to say that he didn't break a single law. He has no idea what he could have done wrong, and overall, he is just "perplexed."
As it stands, the woman's allegations against Irvin are unknown. For now, this remains a confusion situation.
