Michael Irvin will no longer be one of the faces of NFL Network's Super Bowl coverage this week -- the former Dallas Cowboys star who's turned into a huge TV personality has been pulled from shows following an incident he had with a woman in Arizona on Sunday night.
Irvin told the Dallas Morning News the encounter happened at a hotel in Glendale -- the site of this weekend's SB LVII -- after he had returned to the property following a night out on the town.
Irvin says he spoke with the woman for roughly 45 seconds in the lobby -- and described it all as an almost entirely non-physical interaction.
The woman, though, according to the DMN, launched a complaint about Irvin's actions -- leading to the NFLN pulling him from their coverage on Tuesday.
Irvin says he's been left "perplexed" by it all -- explaining to the outlet it was such an innocuous conversation, he hardly even remembered it.
"When I got back after going out … I came into the lobby, and I talked to somebody," Irvin said. "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."
He added, "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."
An NFL Network exec confirmed to TMZ Sports Irvin will not be a part of the station's SB coverage this week. But, it remains unclear what the woman alleges Irvin said or did during their meetup -- as Irvin adamantly denied any wrongdoing.
"What law did I break?" Irvin said according to the Dallas Morning News. "There was definitely nothing physical. … That’s honestly all that happened. Nobody was in my room. It was a 45-second conversation in the lobby, a handshake and we left. … I don’t know. I don’t know what this is, and it’s running me crazy."
Irvin had conducted interviews for NFL Network at the Super Bowl's opening night on Monday. It's not yet known if he'll make his other regularly scheduled appearances on ESPN this week.
Charles Barkley was caught with a Scotsdale hooker years ago. Now he's one of the most popular on NBA broadcasts.
When it comes to putting a popular personality on the air, Irvin will be back. Ratings rule.
“Hey, babe, you’re so fine. Want to come up to my room?”
Famous men are always targets. Some rightful so, others not rightly so.

“Will you have sex with me for a million dollars?”
“Oh, yes!”
“Will you do it for $20”
“Just what do you think I am!?”
“We’ve already established that. Now we’re haggling over price.”
Well as long as he can still do the local school closings.

Looks like it’s not the first time.
‘...In 2018, Irvin was named in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against NFL Network, and also served a previous suspension by the company. In 2017, the Broward County (Florida) State Attorney’s Office chose not to pursue charges against Irvin after a sexual assault investigation. (He denied the allegations.) In 2011, a settlement was reached in a civil lawsuit that accused Irvin of sexual battery. And in 1997, a woman that then accused Irvin and former Cowboys teammate Erik Williams of rape in 1996 recanted her story and admitted she lied, according to the police...’

How bout dem Cowboy
Probably inquired if she was available.
Probably a rude remark that some woman out there would actually accept as a compliment... Not her though, so he obviously misjudged. Of course the ‘woke woman’ look is hard to ascertain.
How does he know it was a woman?
“What law did I break?”
Aw man, you know there has to be. Cameras everywhere. Fun fact: When George Zimmerman was being interviewed by police over the Trayvon Martin shooting, the cops tried to lean on George a little and told him the whole thing was captured on a video camera. The first thing Zimmerman said was, “Oh thank God.” The cop conducting the interview said he knew right then and there ol’ George was telling the truth about being assaulted and shooting in self-defense.
“an almost entirely non-physical interaction”
lol

That explains it 😏
Yeah......right up there with mostly peaceful riots
The Phoenix/Scottsdale hotels are lousy with hookers during SB week. No Irvin fan, but this sounds like a ‘tute looking for some $$$.
