I remember that clearly. Great analogy. Can't say that I thought I'd see Mike Irvin on this thread! Hope he gets into the Hall next week...
That is what is go great about this forum, there are people all over with poetry and thoughts that just pop up on a night like this, and we can share them.
I'm glad you said that about Irvin and the Hall of Fame, the sports talk here is that the people in the Dallas area are in favor of it, but we don't know how much his reputation at that really bad time of his life would hurt his chances nationwide.
