Michael Irvin 'out at NFL Network' as ex
Michael Irvin is reportedly out at NFL Network after 15 years with the league-owned TV channel.
Irvin, a Pro Football Hall of Famer following a stellar career with the Cowboys, was sent home from the network's Super Bowl coverage in 2023 after he was accused of making inappropriate comments to a woman in a hotel.
He eventually returned to his role on the air, but has nonetheless lost his job now as first reported by the New York Post.
NFL Network had previously let go of on-air talent like Andrew Siciliano, James Palmer and Melissa Stark to reduce costs.
And according to Front Office Sports, there had been a round of layoffs at the network over the last 24 hours.

In January, police in Texas confirmed that they were investigating separate, vague claims of 'misconduct' against Irvin.
'There has been an allegation, but we are not prepared to release any details at this time due to our investigation being in its very early stages,' Allen PD Public Information Officer Jonathan Maness told Pro Football Talk by email.
Attorney Levi McCathern told PFT by phone that Irvin 'vehemently denies' whatever it is he's accused of doing.
At last year's Super Bowl, he was accused of unwanted sexual advances, which resulted in his suspension from NFL Network and countering lawsuits between himself and the Marriott hotel chain.
Marriott and Irvin reportedly settled their grievance, but only after the chain claimed in a court filing that the former NFL star asked a hotel employee 'if she knew anything about having a 'big black man inside of [her].''
Irvin was also accused of sexual assault over a 2007 incident at a hotel in Hollywood. Four years later, a settlement was reportedly reached in the civil lawsuit.
