Is NFL Media Cutting Ties with Michael Irvin? Ex-NFL Player and Analyst Pulled from Super Bowl Coverage Amid Controversy

Michael Irvin, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and analyst for NFL Network since 2009, is reportedly not being renewed due to budget cuts, as reported by the New York Post. Irvin, 58, has been with NFL Network since 2009 and also appears on FS1’s Undisputed. He was featured on the Sunday pregame show GameDay Morning and is a three-time Super Bowl champion. In February 2023, he was pulled from the network’s Super Bowl week coverage following harassment accusations but returned after settling a defamation lawsuit.

Irvin filed a lawsuit against a woman who made false accusations about his conduct in April 2023. His ongoing absence from NFL media could indicate belief in the validity of the claims against him. The sports world continues to generate buzz with key players and teams making headlines. Other recent headlines include LeBron James and Kevin Durant in the NBA rankings by various sports analysts.
