Michael Irvin Wants Belichick’s Name on the Lombardi Trophy
FOXBORO — Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin, a three-time Super Bowl champion, believes the NFL’s ultimate prize needs an alteration. Irvin said Bill Belichick’s success with the Patriots warrants his name being placed on the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and he has told the coach as much. “I think the world of Belichick,” Irvin told the Herald recently. “I told him this, ‘Man, if it was up to me, that (Super Bowl) trophy would be called the Lombardi/Belichick.’ I don’t care what they think. It would be called the Lombardi/Belichick. That’s how good he is to do what he’s doing in this day and age, what the league is now. “I would call it the Lombardi/Belichick.”
Has anyone in the history of the human race ever turned it around the way Michael Irvin has? Going from a coked-up, whore-chasing miscreant in his Cowboys days, accused of smacking women around and showing up to court in a full-length mink coat, to becoming the most intelligent, thoughtful, mature voice of reason in all of sports media is the greatest 180 anyone’s done with their life since probably Oskar Schindler. Back in the ’90s when I was reading Penthouse articles about him pulling weekend binges in a hotel room, doing lines off the asses of two $1000-a-night call girls, I never thought that in 2012 I’d be saying this but, “I love you, Michael Irvin.” Seriously I don’t usually get this emotional, but I’m just smitten. I’m actually tearing up a little. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need about 5-7 minutes alone with that Out Magazine picture of him. @JerryThornton1
I get the entire thing of being down with the gheys. But for God’s sake. What the fuck is going on in the halls of Barstool? Are you guys all secretly dreaming about cock?
hahahaha, this is hilarious. Do you see what Jerry’s doing here? He’s acting like he thinks Michael Irvin is awesome because Irvin said nice things about Belechick. Very original for you jerry. you’re not a 1 trick pony at all. Please do another sarcastic skating piece too.
Serious question, do you have the same 7 jokes you repeat over and over on your comedy sets? Have you been telling the same 7 jokes for 25 years now?
do you think he still had the crack pipe in his hand as he made these comments?
wildmanpete- yeah, becauase El Pres’ “let’s take the opposite angle of what people expect us to take, and then end it with FTW” is really a refreshing take on everything
He has gotten very good at losing Super Bowls to the Giants… one of the all-time greats in that regard for sure.
Kewl be careful. According to Jerry the Pats were seconds away from winning the last SB. hahaha
I wish this would happen because the entire country would lose their shit over it.
I’d say sure if Belichick wins 4 more championships to surpass Vince Lombardi’s 6. Irving, proof that crack is whack.
Wildmanpete how is being the Unofficial Assistant to the Regional Spokesman for Deadspin going?
Irvin’s definitely back on the rock. Rough times.
I’m gonna Photoshop Manningham and Tyree Eiffel towering Irving.
Jerry, if Bill belichick were to suddenly die… would you kill yourself?
What sucks more, being a giants fan that’s glued to jerry’s comedy or knowing deep down that someday there will be a trophy with Coach’s name on it?
on the SB note, there’s no denying the Giants D is fucking gruesome/incredible, and when combined with shit luck/brady throwing like a retard/injured gronk/sterling moore in coverage/wes welker dropping the ball you definitely earned the fuck out of that last one.
Everybody and their mother knows whoever plays the Patriots this year is fucked and it’s Giants/Pats again in Feb. I fucking hope it is, too. See you at the superdome faggots, I hope we’re both 18-0 that morning.
I sincerely believe the Giants/pats are in the middle of an amazing football story. As a pats fan, props to you. Elite QB who’s tough as shit, scary D, angry-baby coach. Problem this time is that the defense is going to fucking murder, daily. And we probably won’t spot you 2 points.
How much you wanna bet big Bill bought him a couple rocks to say that?
Lombardi 6 Belichick 3 Enough said. Next.
more like the Lombardi/ Coughlin Trophy am i right Jerry you creepy pedo? ELITE ELI MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!
Belichick also is the only coach in history with a game plan in the hall of fame. Ironically it was when he was coaching the giants against the bills/jim kelly.
The Lombardi and Belicheck (as long as he’s not playing the Giants in the superbowl) Trophy.
I love how Giants fans dont gloat about winning two SBs, they gloat about beating the Patriots.
The Patriots have literally become bigger than the Superbowl
hey fartinez wake up bro. we are gloating about winning 2 super bowls. since this is a BOSTON site, we are simultaneously gloating about beating the Pats as well.
“The Patriots have literally become bigger than the Superbowl” that type of arrogance made ripping out the patriots’ hearts in super bowl XLII even sweeter. it also made winning the super bowl AGAIN 4 years later much more enjoyable as well. like brandon jacobs said, the giants decapitated the patriots. you can’t wear the crown anymore. Eli wears the crown now motherfuckers!
p.s- belichick will ALWAYS be best known for his work helping the Giants win Super Bowl XXV
i love belichick and all but i dont see any 180 here. what’s wrong with pulling weekend binges in a hotel room and doing lines off the asses of two $1000-a-night call girls
Ugh. Just go do something else Jerry.
