Michael 'The Playmaker' Irvin is still makin' plays, only instead of doing it on the field, he's doing it with his mouth. After being let go by ESPN, Mike has resurfaced as an analyst on the NFL Network, and he wasn't shy about diving into that new role and making some provocative comments.
He told USA Today he expects a quarterback controversy in Philly, said he didn't believe Donavan McNabb really initiated the Eagles' interest in bringing in Michael Vick. Then it gets really funny - he decided to give Ron Mexico some advice. Irvin said he thinks Vick shouldn't have said playing quarterback in the NFL is like riding a bike because he doesn't think that will sit well with Roger Goodell. Irvin thinks some one should have go to Vick and said - "Let's be humble."
Because if anyone knows about being humble, it's certainly Mike Irvin. Some other advice I'm sure we'll hear from the playermaker this year:
"Don't stab team mates in the neck with scissors."
"Don't do cocaine with hookers."
"Don't cheat on your wife."
Since Time Warner and the NFL Network can't act like adults and come to an agreement to put the network on my cable system, my exposure to Mike will be limited, but from the sounds of it, he's in rare form and it looks like he's in for a big year.
