NFL Network Reportedly Cuts Ties with Michael Irvin amid Budget Changes and Controversial Allegations
Michael Irvin, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and analyst for NFL Network, will reportedly not have his contract renewed following budget cuts and changes at the network. Irvin has been a part of the network since 2009, where he was featured on GameDay Morning and contributed to FS1’s Undisputed.
In February 2023, Irvin was pulled from Super Bowl week coverage after a harassment accusation, but later settled a defamation lawsuit against Marriott Hotels. Reports in April 2023 indicated that he remained suspended and would not be part of NFL Network’s NFL Draft coverage. The lawsuit filed in February suggests that Irvin may be a victim of ‘cancel culture’.
Other sports headlines include Jason Whitlock’s comments on LeBron James’ narcissism, Colin Cowherd’s 2024 NFL standings predictions, and speculation about the Pittsburgh Steelers using Justin Fields in a new position. LeBron James’ playoff struggles, future plans, and Dave & Buster’s new betting policy also make headlines.
