I can tell why he's still a football broadcaster/commentator when many other players have fallen by the wayside.
He just told a story about Super Bowl week and how Big E (Erik Williams) missed a team meeting after being out all night. The penalty was not playing the upcoming game. "The rule was if you miss meetings or practice, you don't play PERIOD!" Irvin says.
He says Williams stumbles in at the end of the meeting
"Big E walks in and Jimmy was so hot and he was like 'listen, we know the rules, the rules are the rules. This is how we get here. We follow the rules.' And the room was dead quiet, man. And all of a sudden Jimmy says, 'But I'm no dummy! We'll take this up after the Super Bowl. Big E get ready to play.' And the room erupted, and I knew right then we would win that Super Bowl just from that one moment. We needed that big fellow. He was the anchor on our offensive line. That was a great Super Bowl. That was the moment I remember saying 'okay, now we will win.'"
I love that Irvin told that story. He knows how to spin a tale.
