NFL: Michael Irvin's 2007 Induction

[CycoWarriorx]

Yep. This was the best speech ever...

[Playboyy1985]

can't you divide the Speech into different parts This was the best speech

[AHawkins25]

Man, Michael Irvin shared his success & struggles with everyone that watched & listened. That is probably the greatest speech in my opinion.

[majoryamealright]

he is a boss

[texasdude85]

Thats one classy guy right there.....

[RizziWizzi]

Agreed!

[rmsolympic1]

A pillar of steel weeping tears of silver and inspiration, a man made great by prowess defined and crowned with humility

[RaptureAlert]

I'm a Cowboys fan too, Daniel!

Michael was one AWESOME football player!!!

The Best!!

[raiderfantan]

Only been watching NFL Hof inductions for about 15 years but to Me this is the best. i got a chance to meet Mr Irvin at the Pro Bowl a few years back. This speech is a definate reflection of this man. He was very inviting to complete strangers. Taking pictures, just holding good conversation with everyone. All the while watching his kids swim in a pool just a few feet away. And the cherry on top is he was a damn good "Playmaker".

[rechedelphar]

Why must i got through so many peaks and valleys?

[roceeet]

The ending was deep, i think there is something in my eye. "You tell everyone or anyone... that has ever doubted, felt they did not measure or wanted to quit. You tell them to Look up. Get up. And don't ever give up."

2 of the most uplifiting speeches ever Jimmy Valvano's 1993 Espy awards speech and this one right here.

[stoked83]

Why not post the ENTIRE speech? Sucks, I wanted to relive the moment.  Anyone could make a highlight. But good for you for being there, I'm jealous for that.

[theTRUTHgroup]

Well, I can't post a video longer than about 10 minutes.

So, I didn't have much of a choice.

Sorry about that.

[db32585]

even though 2 my hogs are going into tha HOF today (HOGS 4EVA!...lol), i had to hear Irvin's speech again...one of the top 5 receivers to ever play the game...it was a priviledge watchin Mike play...

[theTRUTHgroup]

I appreciate that.

I feel the same way about Green and Monk.

It's awesome seeing those guys get in.

They really deserve it.

[yanksfan43]

[holmes2188]

the part with his boys was easily the best

[Dc328]

What a great speech! Hardest working player I have ever seen!

[marvelandgroup]

Love or hate him you can't say that he didn't keep it real. One of the top 2 speeches ever!

[manrello]

this speech was as real as it gets

[flammingcarrot]

Wow that was a great speech! My eyes were humid when he said: "You tell everyone or anyone... that has ever doubted, felt they did not measure up. I wanted to quit. You tell them: Look up. Get up. And don't ever give up. "

[siccsound]
