It's been said before but Marshall Faulk is a jerk

[Cajuncowboy]

He just asked Irvin waht his favorite Hostess treat was and Irvin said Ding Dongs And Faulk said "I thought you would be a HO HO's man."

I really hate seeing Faulk's face on my TV.

EDIT: And dang, this should have been in the NFL zone I guess.

I hate Faulk, but that's actually pretty funny.

So are dirty jokes but there is a time and place for them. Highly inappropriate to do on national TV.

You must not watch much TV these days.

That's relatively tame.

Not at the expense of your colleagues reputation. Especially knowing his past.

I suppose, but I think Irvin has proven himself a changed person over the years...to anyone that matters, at least. I doubt anything Faulk could say would bother him.

Faulk will always take back seat to guys like Irvin, and he knows it. Hence his insecurity.

Agreed. Just thought it was a very low thing to say in his presence on TV. And you are right, Faulk is second or even third tier with respect to analysts.

If I was Michael I would have slapped the taste out of his mouth right there on national TV.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

LOL that's actually funny.

 

[Kevinicus]

I have a TINY bit more respect for Marshall now. That's the most intelligent thing he's said in a long time.

 

[big dog cowboy]

There are a few people I will relentlessly email when the Cowboys finally win another Super Bowl. Faulk is near the top of the list.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

That's pretty funny and I'm sure Irvin could care less.

does anyone have a vid of this? that is hilarious.

Faulk may be a jerk but I don't think insecure is an issue.

I doubt that was off the cuff. They probably rehearsed that line 20 times in rehearsals.

 

[dez_for_prez]

HAHAHA. That's funny. I don't think it's that bad because kids aren't really gonna get the joke.

It has nothing to do with the joke. It has everything to do with being a professional and not being an idiot. You don't do that on TV and especially in front of the guy. You think Irvin's wife and kids thought it was funny?

One could argue that Irvin saying Ding Dongs could be viewed as being just as dirty and Marshall saying Ho Hos.

Either way...with all that is going on, that little joke does not register on my give a darn meter.

For the record...I think many of our fans would be better off if they just flat out ignored stuff from NFL channel or ESPN if it bothers them that much.

SO one guy makes a statement that is absurd and ignorant and we should just stop watching the channel? Really?

And Irvin answered the question honestly and I doubt anyone would think his answer was directed at Faulk. Unless Faulk is gay then it would be something. But Faulk blatantly made the crude remark at Irvin's expense. I doubt Irvin's wife found that amusing.

I'm on the same page with this comment from Faulk.

It's a joke, it's silly and from what I understand they are pretty good friends. If you can't make fun of your buddies, and yourself...you need a good slap in the head.

Grow some thicker skin Cajun.
