Michael Jerome Irvin (born March 5, 1966) is a retired American football player, actor, and sports commentator.
Irvin played college football at the University of Miami and then with the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL) for his entire pro athletic career (1988-1999), which ended due to a spinal cord injury.
During his college and pro careers, Irvin was dubbed "The Playmaker" because of his penchant for making big plays in big games.
He is one of three main Cowboys offensive players to win three Super Bowl titles: alongside Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith, he is known as one of "The Triplets."
He is also a former broadcaster for ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown and now an NFL Network analyst.
In 2007, he was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In 2009, he appeared in season 9 of Dancing with the Stars.
Irvin was the ninth contestant to be disqualified.
Early life
Michael Irvin was born in 1966 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was the 15th of 17 children in his family's household. Irvin first attended Piper High School in Sunrise, Florida, and then moved on to become a football star at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale.
Irvin was heavily recruited by the University of Miami to play for the Miami Hurricanes, one of the top collegiate football programs in the country, while attending St. Thomas Aquinas High School.
Personal life
According to reports, Irvin and her teammate Erik Williams sexually assaulted Nina Shahravan, a Dallas Cheerleader who was under the influence of cocaine, and filming the match showed her head.
Despite Williams' and Irvin's denials of the charges, the story largely inspired the game, which the Cowboys lost. The accuser was later found to have fabricated the entire incident. She retold her story, pled guilty to perjury and publishing a false police report, and was sentenced to 90 days in prison and a fine. Irvin was sidelined in the game against Carolina and did not return in the first minute.
Irvin reportedly assaulted Everett McIver, a fellow Cowboys offensive lineman, on July 29, 1998. The initial controversies resulted from Irvin's request that McIver be able to remove a barber's chair so that Irvin would not have to wait for a haircut. McIver and Irvin were involved in a brawl in the store with fellow Cowboy Leon Lett trying to break it up.
During the confrontation, Irvin grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed McIver in the neck, barely missing his carotid artery. Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, broke a six-figure deal between Irvin and McIver in exchange for McIver's silence and to keep McIver from pursuing criminal charges against Irvin.
Irvin was arrested in June 2001, a year after his NFL career, for unlawful cocaine use. Irvin was in a Dallas apartment with an unrelated woman, and neither answered the door when police drug task force agents arrived with a search warrant. The apartment was then searched forcibly by cops, who found drugs. Both Irvin and the woman were detained, but charges against Irvin were dropped later.
Irvin was arrested in Plano, Texas, on November 25, 2005, for speeding. After police searched his vehicle and discovered a pipe and plastic bags with marijuana residue, Irvin was arrested on an outstanding warrant on an unpaid speeding ticket in Irving, Texas, and was also found guilty of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Irvin was arrested for a Class C misdemeanor. Later, he was released on bond.
In reaction to his detention, ESPN suspended Irvin for the Sunday and Monday night Countdown shows on December 4 and 5, 2005. He appeared on both shows with no mention or remembrance of the previous event.
Irvin was charged with sexual assault while at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on July 4, 2007. Although no charges were made against him, a civil lawsuit was brought against him in 2010. Irvin brought a $100 million defamation lawsuit, but it was dismissed when the lawsuit was settled out of court in January 2011.
When stopped at a light in Dallas on January 12, 2009, Irvin claimed to be the perpetrator of a possible carjacking attempt. He filed a police report claiming that two men flashed a gun at him but then backed away after he said they were Cowboys fans. Irvin was not involved in the probe and could not proceed without his participation, according to Dallas police two weeks later.
Irvin was charged in Fort Lauderdale with reportedly sexually assaulting a woman in Florida on March 22, 2017. Irvin denied the charges. The Broward County State Attorney's Office announced on July 24 that they had concluded the probe and did not sue Irvin.
Irvin joked that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's athletic ability may have been due to African-American roots, and jokingly stated that Romo's maternal relatives may have been involved with "slave brothers" in a November 2006 radio interview on Dan Patrick's radio show. "This is how I joke around with Romo while playing basketball," Irvin said later. "I am the player, and me the broadcaster" has a difference.
ESPN revealed on February 17, 2007, during the late version of SportsCenter, that Irvin was no longer with the network. "We thank Michael for his service to ESPN and wish him well," ESPN Communications Vice President Josh Krulewitz said. However, eleven months later, Irvin returned to ESPN as a host on ESPN Radio owned and operated station KESN (103.3 FM) in Dallas, hosting The Michael Irvin Show. After his deal came to an end, this locally aired program came to an end on February 5, 2010, and Irvin was able to leave after his contract was ended. According to an ESPN spokesman, declining views and the announcement of a lawsuit against Irvin for a 2007 blaze "simply expedited the situation."
Irvin confessed to sneaking out of the locker room during Super Bowl XXVII's halftime to watch Michael Jackson perform on February 17, 2017 on The Rich Eisen Show.
Entertainment career
Irvin appeared in the 2005 revival of The Longest Yard, starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Irvin appeared in Sandler's film Jack & Jill, which was released on November 11, 2011. He was one of the "Pros" on an episode of Pros vs. Joes, which pitted former professional athletes against average people. He was the host of 4th and Long, a football-themed reality show that aired on Spike TV. Jesse Holley, the winner of the Dallas Cowboys' training camp, received a spot. Irvin plays a supporting role in the 2017 basketball drama Slamma Jamma as a sleazy sports agent.
Irvin talked to Out magazine in 2011 about his gay older brother, who died of stomach cancer in 2006. He said his first feelings of homophobia in relation to his brother resulted in womanizing during his playing days, but later acceptance and feelings of admiration for people who are unable to reveal their circumstances.
Irvin will be one of the primary investors and advisors for the league in August 2011, according to officials from the Elite Football League of India. Mike Ditka, former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski, and NFL linebacker Brandon Chillar were among the notable backers.
