The Playmaker Michael Irvin Pulled from All Super Bowl Coverage/NFL Network (09/14 EDIT: Irvin settles his defamation suit w/hotel, returns to NFLN)

Irvin had a lot of "instances" during his playing days because he was a coke addict.
Unfortunately at that time coke addiction was prevalent in society and sports. There was one very prominent baseball player who always slid headfirst to avoid breaking the vials of cocaine in his back pocket.
