Michael Irvin Pulled From NFL Network’s Super Bowl Coverage After Incident W/ Woman

Michael Irvin will no longer be one of the faces of NFL Network’s Super Bowl coverage this week — the former Dallas Cowboys star who’s turned into a huge TV personality has been pulled from shows following an incident he had with a woman in Arizona on Sunday night.

Irvin told the Dallas Morning News the encounter happened at a hotel in Glendale — the site of this weekend’s SB LVII — after he had returned to the property following a night out on the town.

Irvin says he spoke with the woman for roughly 45 seconds in the lobby — and described it all as an almost entirely non-physical interaction.

The woman, though, according to the DMN, launched a complaint about Irvin’s actions — leading to the NFLN pulling him from their coverage on Tuesday.

Irvin says he’s been left “perplexed” by it all — explaining to the outlet it was such an innocuous conversation, he hardly even remembered it.

“When I got back after going out … I came into the lobby, and I talked to somebody,” Irvin said. “I talked to this girl. I don’t know her, and I talked to her for about 45 seconds.”

“We shook hands. Then, I left. … That’s all I know.”

He added, “I don’t really recall that conversation, to tell you the truth. We were out drinking. It was just a friendly conversation. ‘What’s up?’ I don’t even know. … I am totally perplexed.”

An NFL Network exec confirmed to TMZ Sports Irvin will not be a part of the station’s SB coverage this week. But, it remains unclear what the woman alleges Irvin said or did during their meetup — as Irvin adamantly denied any wrongdoing.

“What law did I break?” Irvin said according to the Dallas Morning News. “There was definitely nothing physical. … That’s honestly all that happened. Nobody was in my room. It was a 45-second conversation in the lobby, a handshake and we left. … I don’t know. I don’t know what this is, and it’s running me crazy.”
