Following his 12-year NFL career, which included three Super Bowl rings with the Dallas Cowboys, little has changed: Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin is as outspoken and fiery as ever.
However, the legendary pass-catcher sounded off on Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson ... for doing something similar to what Irvin did just hours before the subject of his criticism.
“You can’t be coming down on the sideline when I’m getting my butt whooped like this,” Irvin said on ‘It Is What It Is’ earlier this month. “You know what I mean. That’s the bad look. His girlfriend come walking down the sideline. You’re Bill Belichick. You had the most control over everything and why is she walking in here and you getting whooped like this? That wasn’t good.”
Belichick and the Tar Heels won their first game on Saturday since becoming joined at the hip on Jan. 23, but not before Irvin blasted Hudson for the couple’s alleged spat on the UNC sidelines in their, 48-14, season-opening loss to TCU.
On the field prior to the TCU game, Hudson, 24, was shown talking to Belichick before the 73-year-old coach walked away suddenly, an incident that quickly went viral and sparked backlash. Critics questioned Hudson’s presence on the field and viewed her as a distraction, considering the result. And Irvin, who is paid to provide his opinion these days, joined in on the jeers.
Yet, Irvin, who played at the University of Miami from 1985 to 1987, was spotted “going nuts on the sidelines” when the Hurricanes narrowly beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 27-24, the day prior.
Let this be a lesson in self-awareness, which Irvin mentioned, but somewhat lacks. Sure, the Hurricanes won a close game while the Tar Heels opened the year with a blowout loss. But still.
“Just a little bit of awareness,” Irvin said, mocking Hudson. “Maybe this ain’t the time to go down and see Bill. I don’t need to add to this a-- whooping. Let me just sit up here and sit still because everybody was talking about that, too. You know what I mean? It just diminishes his legacy.”
