We know that getting inducted into the Hall of Fame is the pinnacle of any professional athlete’s career, so we can completely understand why players get a little emotional at times. Well, to say that Michael Irvin got a tad teary eyed during his induction speech would be an understatement.
Many people are saying that it was one of the most inspirational, touching, motivational acceptance speeches in the history of the Hall. We’re not going to go that far because, frankly, we couldn’t even pay attention to the words coming out of his mouth with all the snot coming out of his nose! Damn, couldn’t someone hand Irvin a Kleenex? This is one of those rare times when ESPN HD is a bad thing.
