Michael Irvin Still Suspended by NFL Network After Super Bowl Week Incident

Cowboys legend and NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin will not take part in the league’s draft coverage next week and “remains suspended,” NFL media vice president of communications Alex Riethmiller told David Moore of The Dallas Morning News.

Irvin has been left off broadcasts by the network since an alleged Super Bowl week incident in which a Marriott employee claimed Irvin had an inappropriate interaction with her in the lobby of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel.

Irvin did not take part in any subsequent Super Bowl coverage following the complaint, and has maintained his innocence ever since. Lobby footage showed Irvin shaking hands with the woman twice and then touching her arm on two separate occasions. The woman took a step back both times.

Irvin filed a $100 million lawsuit against Marriott for defamation and tortious interference in a business relationship, which is currently open in court in Maricopa County.
