From Don Meredith, to Dan Dierdorf to John Madden, many who were connected to professional football has found their way into the commentators booth and/or news sports commentary. Dan Marino, Tony Siragoosa, Mike Ditka and others have found their way into sports commentary. Would Bill Parcels, who coached in the AFC and the NFC be an added feature or just clutter up the field of commentaries?
Your thoughts on Michael Irvin leaving ESPN....
Michael Irvin Could Have a lot More Time to Do Illegal Stuff

I can't think of a better way to kick off the three-day weekend than with this bit of potentially good news from the New York Post (by way of Dan Shanoff):
Is ESPN on the verge of cutting ties with NFL analyst Michael Irvin?
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Nobody at ESPN would confirm or deny the report but The Network issued a statement that read, "We are currently in the process of discussing studio assignments for next season." Also, speculation has Bill Parcells joining ESPN though no deal is imminent.
Let's all hope that Irvin has been reassigned to the "Harold Reynolds News Desk." It's easy to make fun of ESPN -- they did bring us "Bonds on Bonds" and "Hustle", after all -- but if Irvin does get canned, credit to the network for finally realizing he adds absolutely nothing to the NFL coverage. What took so long, well, I have no idea.
Sean Salisbury might want to start updating the ol' resume; it looks like the on-air goons have been put on notice.
