And you've lead a perfect life? Mike overcame his addictions. I'd venture in some capacity most all of us have had some form of weakness and or addictions. At least he overcame his own. The man is a class act. Perfect? Nah, he's not perfect! But what is perfect my friend? When you find it, show it to me and I'l point out how boring it is. Nobody lives a perfect life. Mike, made his mistakes, he learned and bettered himself over them. And let us not forget, most people don't get caught.
I’m quite aware that nobody is perfect, I only have to look in the mirror every day to remind myself of that. But I also don’t buy into this idea that because nobody is perfect we can’t ascribe to some common sense of decency.
Good player doesn’t equal class act, necessarily. As I said the play maker was a phenomenal football player and is a deserving Cowboys legend. But off the field he’s kind of a prick and a scumbag. That’s not really even up for debate
I can appreciate his considerable talents on the field and at the same time hope and pray that my two boys never turn out to be any sort of a person like he has been off the field
Frankly if Michael Irvin was my son I would be extremely proud of what he accomplished as a football player and totally ashamed of what he was as a man off the field
If you want to dismiss that as judgmental then have at it, that’s the beauty of this forum is we all have our own opinions
