After the accusations made by the hotel employee came to light, Michael Irvin was swiftly suspended by the NFL Network and wasn’t even allowed to cover the Super Bowl. Since then, Irvin has been fighting relentlessly for his innocence and has filed a $100 lawsuit in return. Although many people oppose him, fellow NFL analyst Stephen A. Smith vouches for his ‘friend’. 

The ESPN analyst recently made a glaring statement and believes that Irvin should be hired by ESPN as they can share the stage for the ‘First Take’. Smith believes in Irvin’s innocence and believes he’s being framed.

“I love him to death. And I think he makes great television. And I would never ever sit up there and tell anybody that I want anybody more than I want Michael Irvin,” Stephen A. Smith stated.

However, Michael Irvin is still fighting an uphill battle to get his old job back, or maybe something new. With ESPN currently eyeing an opportunity to sign him, things can change dramatically for him.
