PLANO, Texas (Nov. 27, 2005) -- Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after police searched his vehicle during a traffic stop, Plano police said.

Irvin, a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for speeding in Irving after being pulled over Nov. 25 for speeding in Plano, the Plano Police Department said. Police spokesman Mike Johnson said he didn't know what kind of paraphernalia was found.

Irvin paid a fine on the speeding ticket and posted bond on the drug paraphernalia possession charge. He was released about an hour after he was pulled over.

Irvin, a member of three Super Bowl championship teams with the Cowboys, retired in July 2000 and works as a studio analyst for ESPN.

An ESPN spokesman had no immediate comment.

In 1996, Irvin pleaded no contest to felony cocaine possession in exchange for four years of deferred probation, a $10,000 fine and dismissal of misdemeanor marijuana possession charges.

Irvin holds Cowboys records for catches (750), receiving yards (11,904) and 100-yard games (47), including a team-record seven in a row in 1991.

PLANO, Texas (AP) - Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after police searched his vehicle during a traffic stop, Plano police said Sunday.

Irvin, an ESPN analyst and semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for speeding in Irving after being pulled over Friday afternoon for speeding in Plano, the Plano Police Department said. Police spokesman Mike Johnson said he didn't know what kind of paraphernalia was found.
Irvin paid a fine on the speeding ticket and posted bond on the drug paraphernalia possession charge. He was released about an hour after he was pulled over.

"We are reviewing the facts of the situation and have no comment at this time," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said.

Irvin, a member of three Super Bowl championship teams with the Cowboys, retired in July 2000.

In 1996, Irvin pleaded no contest to felony cocaine possession in exchange for four years of deferred probation, a $10,000 fine and dismissal of misdemeanor marijuana possession charges.

Michael Irvin was caught with drugs! I wonder what ESPN will do about this situation when it's all said and done? I personally think ESPN may get fire him and get an ex nfl player or coach to be their analyst.

Wow Santa must have came early and he brought the good stuff to Michael! lol Too funny.

That would be funny if ESPN picked up TO for the rest of the season, like when FOX picked up Meshawn.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they do pick him up...

Art Monk gets my vote, It would be great to see him on ESPN

I'd like to see Monk but that is not going to happen! He's got too much class!

Art does not have a big-mouth loud enough to act like a clown on the booth. That's what TV wants these days, Isn't it?

Besides:

Something that might make some of us feel a little better...

I already tried the My favourite Redskins Cheerleader in another forum. What can I come up with to cheer you up guys this week???

Espn, says Mike will be back on countdown tonight, they must believe the parafonalia did belong to his friend.

hey mike go deep while i throw you the good stuff.

well i would love monk but with espn i don,t think so.
i think TO would be a perfect fit.

yeah countdown with michael irvin like stephen a smith always says quite frankly thats all you need.

I think they just don't want to have to deal with Jesse Jackson, if Mike gets fired.

That would be an injustice.

Uh Huh.
Didn't he claim this "it's not me I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time" crap when he was at a party where there was cocaine?
And then again when he was in apartment with a woman and less than a gram of cocaine?
Now he has a pipe in the car, and "wait, it's not mine. I'm just helping out a friend to throw it away and get it away from my kids and I just forgot to throw it away is all. Honest."
?????????
Who believes this crap?

ESPN

I don't see Mike saying "same intensity" this time??

Dangl..a crack pipe?? You would think millionaires would at least snort coke...but crack?? That's a poor person's drug.

I hope its not the truth. It sounds like he's lying, but then again, how can a crackhead have enough wherewithall to work on a TV show like that.

THey should give him a drug test.

Oh My God....this is what Irvin said - ???

Plastic baggies with marijuana residue were found in a Versace sunglasses case along with the pipe. Irvin said he found the items on the friend after patting him down when he arrived at his house in Carrollton, Texas.


I guess he wants us to think he pats down all his guests.....This is hysterical !! What a silly thing to say !!

He is obviously lying.... Irvin is funny

Michael Irvin Suspended 1 week from ESPN !!!

I hope that these news have a sobering impact on the HOF voters this year and others to come. But you NEVER know with these guys.

Thanks for the post SChic! It only goes to show that this idiot is still stupid and makes dumb mistakes. He is also a liar.

Not long ago some here were kind of supporting him for making a remark about our team and how we should be a little grateful. This idiot is a liar and a drug user, NOTHING he says should be taken seriously. We should not allow any posts from the SI bunch of idiots either - these people do not bring anything to the game and it is a waste of space, IMO.

I get my NFL news & views from THN, most of the others do not know what they are talking about. - go Skins.

Mike Wilbon recently pointed out that only one's "ON THE FIELD" actions are supposed to be considered by HOF voters.

Now, I'm sure that's not what happens, however, so don't be surprised if Irvin gets passed over once more.
