Do you agree with the direction the NFL is heading in?
The three-time Super Bowl champion may have worn out his welcome with a series of off-air personal problems.
Irvin was accused of sexual misconduct by an employee of a Marriott Hotel in the run-up to Super Bowl LVII, according to Yahoo Sports.
The commentator was pulled from the NFL Network’s Super Bowl coverage after the accusation.
Irvin maintained his innocence and went on to file a $100 million defamation lawsuit with Marriott, which was settled in September for an undisclosed amount.
The former receiver was reinstated to his duties at the NFL Network for the 2023 season.
Irvin may not be done with the world of football media, however.
Some of Irvin’s fans are calling for the receiving great to start his own podcast.

but um
SET UP THE MICS FOR THE MICHAEL IRVIN PODCAST IMMEDIATELY. TONIGHT, EVEN.

Irvin hasn’t publicly addressed his termination.
A number of other NFL Network employees were also released in what amounted to a wave of layoffs, according to The Washington Post.
“NFL Total Access” had been a mainstay of the NFL Network’s programming for 20 years, according to Sports Illustrated.
The show’s slot will be replaced by “Insiders,” a broadcast that features reporters Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.
Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.
And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.
The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.
We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.
But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.
The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?
With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
Thank you for reading,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
