Irvin Wouldn't Want Moss on Team

Michael Irvin says he wouldn't want Randy Moss as a teammate. He said this on ESPN's pregame show. If this isn't the textbook example of hypocrisy, I don't know what is.

Let's review: Irvin was a showboat of epic proportions. He was linked to a house that was purchased for the explicit purpose of partying, using drugs, and "entertaining" lady folk. He was a major distraction to his team so many times that we all lost count.

And Michael Irvin has the gall to say he wouldn't have Moss as a teammate?!?!? You wouldn't want someone like you on your team, Mike?

I won't defend Randy Moss, but some of his critics need to take a long, meaningful look in the mirror. Irvin has been linked to all sorts of criminal activity before becoming a born-again Christian (which I applaud). Joe Buck works for the network that epitomizes bad taste and is making a buttload of money from a series of commercials where he portrays a rather vain (and very realistic) sportscaster giving media attention to a Moss-like character. A beer commercial, no less, Mr Social Conscience!!

Glass houses, Michael and Joe. Glass houses!
