Jerry should sign a Irvin to a 2 week contract if Cowboys make the Super Bowl. Just to have him fire up the boys on the sideline during the game.

The only player in the history of this team that can take the title of Mr. Cowboy from Michael Irvin is the real Mr. Cowboy and the only reason for that is because he had it first. This dude bleeds Cowboys with every fiber of his body. Love him!
The real Mr Cowboy being Walt Garrison?

I agree with much of this, and I realize he did a lot of stupid stuff in his younger days, but since those days I haven't heard of anything that would cause me to classify him as a "prick and a scumbag". Did I miss something, or are you judging the man by the foolish things he did as a young man, not long removed from the ghetto?

I dunno, TBH much of it was the 90's stuff. But then I see some of the same old allegations within the past few years. (Drugs, women). I do understand that accusations don't necessarily equal guilt. But when it's consistent with past patterns it seems easier to believe

Also one time I saw him at soldier Field when they were there for TNF Cowboys/Bears. After the pregame show he was being hustled through the crowd from the stage. Tons of diehard Cowboys fans (including kids) begging for handshake, quick picture, etc. He ignored them all and his entourage shoved through the crowd like a plow.

But then some stacked chick walked up and called his name and he immediately stopped, hugged her, posed for pictures, etc.

Then continued on and ignored everyone else.

Now admittedly this chick was attractive. So I get that. And I can even see him brushing past grown men, to some extent, if he was rushed. But kids?

Had no time for kids in Cowboys jerseys, but tons of time for some pin up model.

It kind of disappointed me tbh. Not trying to be judgmental. Just relating a personal experience that left me less than impressed.

Again, unbelievable football player. Have nothing but respect and awe for Michael Irvin the player

But as a person, I think he left ( and continues to leave) a lot of meat on the bone, as they say

Not trying to offend you, hope it doesn't appear that way.

Not at all.

I painted my sig of Emmitt, breaking through a wall of steel, in the off season before they beat the Steelers in the SB..... I spent roughly 50 to 60 hours painting it with an airbrush. I drove 3 hours to New Jersey, paid $90 and stood in line for a few hours, waiting to give it to Emmitt for his autograph.

I finally got to his table, he signed it, without even really looking at it, and refused to shake my hand when I asked.

We sometimes expect too much from celebrities. It doesn't mean they're bad people, just that they go about their daily lives with a different purpose than we were hoping for.

That's fair.

I will concede that I have no idea what it's like to be famous. Nor will I ever, most likely

How about if I change "prick/scumbag" to "kind of a jerk"?

:)

And your painting is nice. You did an awesome job

My all time favorite. He belongs on our sidelines in some type of coaching capacity.
He could be the next
" Cocaine Cowboy Ray of #88 stadium crowd pleasing fame" ,,, unleashed upon the teaming throngs of massed gathered Fandom @JerryWorld:starspin:


*SHEESE!,,,
if that extracted plant compound were deemed of legal possession,lawful commerce thereof,,, The former #88 would be larger than the life he already leads x10 foldo_O

Thanks brother, but you already knew I painted it. I was just illustrating (no pun intended) the difference between my life and his, right up to and including the minute we met. ;)

One thing people forget about Irvin- we all knew what he was doing, but he never failed a league drug test. That five game suspension in 1996 stemmed from an arrest for drug possession and a lengthy legal trial that smeared the image of Cowboys and, in some ways, the NFL.

But since then Irvin has matured. He's one of my all-time favorites and I absolutely love watching him support the Cowboys on television today.

I always felt Deion Sanders ratted on Irvin prior to that suspension. He wanted to be the #1 WR while playing both offense and defense.
