That was expected. I like Irvin but this season it seemed that he was being a little more fanboyish with the 'Boys. Whenever his colleagues disagrees with him, he gets a little... argumentive. My mother, a big 'Boys fan, noticed it as well.

I bid him a fare thee well and hopefully he can find a job doing something with football.

Yeah cuz he is the only biased one in there....Jaws anyone?Espurs117

They're all biased to an extent. Salisbury is still hooked with the Panthers, Ditka always chooses "da Bears", Jaws always going with Philly, and even TJ from time to time will pick his former team, the Broncos.

Cowboy fan made we ended your pretty boy recievers career?

Anyway, I'm glad he's gone. I was getting tired of his Cowboy and TO nutriding every sunday, we get it, you love the Cowboys, and you wanna marry TO, but don't let it get in the way of being an analyst.

OMG, but I just had to post this. :lol:
I guess we won't be having comments like this anymore.

Agreed. I actually was starting to like him more but he would always be completely opposite with everyone else (which isn't bad normally but his reasoning made no sense, like he didn't even know what he was talking about) and would argue and use the "since I'm loudest I'm right" approach which is a sign of lacking some common sense and respect for the people you are talking to. I hope he gets a job on NFL Network or Fox though. I think he would be good for those stations.

Nfl live and Nfl coutdown really they use most of their time talking and doing reports on the NFC east teams their opening drives usually always starts of with the cowboys or the giants. The ESPN NFL analyst, mostly all of them are really entertainers that do know a lot about the Xs and Os of football because most of them played before but the only serious analsts are Shlerith and Salisbury and Jaws from time to time, and you can tell because they are the only ones that appear on Sportscenter. Golic is a joke, not a analyst but a fan that analize some what from a players perspective. Overall id say NFL network and NBC did a better job than EsPN in analysing the season and games. Bill Parcells is not going to be a lot better either, and Monday night football on ESPN was nice, but get TOny Kornheiser out of that Booth!!!bookmeister

Seriously? I thought Kornheiser did a great job because he is a smart guy and knows enough about football to make his opinion a smart one. He was also smart enough to know when he was over his head on a subject which is a great thing to know because too many guys keep rambling when they don't know what they are talking about. He wouldn't really argue with Theisman because he knew Theisman knew more about football than he did (playing-wise mainly). I hope they keep all three guys for next year because they were great.
