i guess i'm in the minority so far here, but i liked irvin on tv. i can't stand when players refuse to admit they're not homers for their old teams. his owens stance was kinda lame and played out, but i liked him as a commentator - he was also good on the dan patrick show.

I don't think his Cowboy homerism bothered his bosses as much as his T.O. worship, which I can't understand. For some reason Irvin and Deion both fall over backwards defending TO like he's got pictures of them together or something. No matter what Owens does they stick up for him. Hell Deion got DeAngelo Hall to forgive TO after spitting on him.

The whole thing is a little creepy and I can't figure it out.

But I think what really did Irvin in was the racial comments about Romo.

Wikipedia gets edited, so I'd be careful. Supposedly he was canned because they were afraid he'd say something derogatory, they being ESPN

from richard justice:

Michael Irvin's divorce from ESPN apparently was about money. Irvin, buoyed by his new Pro Football Hall of Fame status, overestimated his value to ESPN. When the parties couldn't decide on a dollar amount, Irvin asked about supplementing his income outside the ESPN empire. He says he was told he could but only if ESPN, which doesn't like to have its employees appear elsewhere, approved of the project. End of negotiations.
