Michael Irvin will not serve as an NFL Network analyst ahead of Super Bowl LVII after a woman issued a complaint about his conduct during a hotel encounter in Glendale, Arizona.
Irvin denied any wrongdoing to The Dallas Morning News, saying his interaction with the woman took place in the hotel lobby and lasted less than a minute.
"Honestly, I'm a bit baffled with it all," Irvin said. "This all happened in a 45-second conversation in the lobby. When I got back after going out ... I came into the lobby and I talked to somebody. I talked to this girl. I don't know her, and I talked to her for about 45 seconds. We shook hands. Then, I left. ... That's all I know."
Irvin also told 105.3 The Fan that he did not remember the interaction with the woman after having "a few drinks."
