Thank God. ESPN will not be extending Michael Irvin's contract this season. He was working on a 1 year deal which was a brilliant move on ESPN's part. Irvin has been with the program NFL Countdown since 2003 when he took over for another hyper analyst - Sterling Sharpe. These guys think whomever talks the loudest is the most correct. If they continue to fill that seat with arrogant idiots, Sean Salisbury will be in for interviews shortly. Irvin was always in trouble during his playing days and has had several missteps since being on ESPN - most recently saying Tony Romo's great great great grandmother must have visited the hood to "get some" or went down to the barn to see a slave. That's how Irvin explained Romo's speed for a white guy. Even though I watch less and less pregame shouting every year - it will be easier now to stomach Countdown without Irvin. I don't want Marty. I don't want "The Tuna". Emmit Smith and Marshall Faulk are both terrible on NFL Network. I'm not sure who they will chase but they can never settle on seats 3 and 4. Mort, Jaws and Steve Young still report but no longer sit. Ditka can't complete a full sentence because his mind races ahead of his mouth. Is it that hard to find somebody to complement Fred Flintstone and Tom Jackson?

One less crackhead on TV. One more crackhead for the Hall of Fame.
Word around the campfire is Tom Jackson is gone too. Retired, or as Irvin might describe it, "Gone up to de big house to get some from massa's wife while de massa be gone to town. Dat what make him so smart."
Steve Young sucks the rats ass as a TV personality of any sort. Mostly because he has no personality and nobody to tell him how ridiculous his hair looks.
For different reasons, Emmitt Smith, Marshall Faulk, and Mike Ditka cannot speak intelligible sentences.
Marty is as boring as his offensive playcalling with a 4 point lead.
And Tuna just needs to relax and do nothing.
Mortensen is OK at gossip and stirring up shit. So let's leave him alone.
Jaws is too smart to put on there with the other dumbasses. The show would be unbalanced.
I don't know man, do you think Phyllis George or Irv Cross are doing anything? Is Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder still alive? The Greek made a similar observation as Irvin and lost his job on account of it too.
Does Michael Irvin think Tom Jackson is his uncle??
Why are 4 talking heads necessary anyway?
