Michael Irvin: Felony Cocaine Possession CAN Get You in The Hall of Fame

Proof that they'll let just about anybody into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Michael Irvin was inducted this past weekend. Yes, that Michael Irvin. The busted-for-felony-cocaine-possession, ex-Cowboy that's on ESPN. Allow The Fun Bunch to summarize his criminal record. Oh yeah, that's his mug shot:

March 1996: Police crashed Irvin's 30th birthday party and found him, marijuana, cocaine and strippers in a hotel room. He pleaded no contest to felony cocaine possession.

November 2005: Police searched his vehicle and found drug paraphernalia, including plastic bags with marijuana residue. Irvin was arrested for a Class C misdemeanor. Irvin blamed the drug paraphernalia on his brother who wasn't there, saying "It's my brother's. He left it in there."

Everybody is making a big deal about his cheesy induction speech, where he balled like a baby. I don't get it. The speech was lame. Here's some video of the speech with some cool music in the background.

Irvin was an alright receiver, his numbers don't justify his induction in the "Hall of Fame" and if any other citizen had a felony drug charge, they'd be fired...this individual certainly doesn't deserve to be in the Hall. He's a role model whether he wants to be or not...this double standard sends a contradictory signal to our youth and to them this behavior is acceptable and condoned. He made some bad decisions and his involvement with the police prove that he is below character...the type of character that doesn't belong in the Football Hall of Fame.
