Michael Irvin bursts into Stephen A. Smith with a sweat-drenched mug on the greatness of the Cowboys

The work of Stephen A. Smith is, in many ways, to press buttons. He arrived Monday in an entertainment and events center near the AT & T Cowboys Stadium, ready to do so. It turned out that the star of ESPN's "First Take" film not only caught the attention of dozens of spectators in Dallas, but also caused the former Cowboys receiver to burst into action. Wide, Michael Irvin.

Now an NFL network analyst, Irvin does not hide his loyalty to the organization. He helped win three Super Bowls, but as Smith noted before the Cowboys hosted the Titans on Monday Night Football, the days of glory in Dallas are long gone. the team has fallen behind other NFL franchises.

It was too hard for Irvin, who quickly needed towels to dispel all the sweat he had accumulated by shouting that the Cowboys were about to "recover and take their place among the kings!"

Irvin started what quickly turned out to be the hell, claiming that the "championship trophies" owned by the Cowboys place them "in the same place as the Patriots and the Steelers". He stood up and pointed to Smith, shouting under the applause of the crowd. when you go into the story, let's go into the story! Do not just check your history, let's go to the l & # 39; history "!

"First Take" co-analyst Max Kellerman then asked Irvin if Dak Prescott was the right quarter to "do a bit of history" with the Cowboys. The former player had pointed out that the recent Dallas deal against former Raiders receiver, Amari Cooper, was essential. to unlock a bright future. "Can you really get an answer on Dak without giving him the weapons around him," said Irvin. "I think that's the reason why Amari Cooper was a big deal."

Irvin continued turning to the audience and raised his voice: "We had to have Amari Cooper, and I think tonight here in Dallas we see the dawn of a new day. The beginning of a new era and a time when the Cowboys will legitimately pull themselves together and take their place among the kings! "

At this point, Irvin was standing up and screaming, while a production assistant was erasing it. "Do you hear me ?!" S & # 39; he exclaimed. "Regain and take his place among the kings !!"

Smith, unsurprisingly, was also becoming more and more agitated, or at least acting that way to achieve a dramatic effect. "It's true that when you were a member of the Cowboys and Jimmy Johnson came to lead the team," he asked Irvin, "is it true that Jimmy Johnson spoke to you and that you were sat and you said: "If the dawn of a new day is imminent, we must get rid of this, and this and that". So what happened to this philosophy?

"You've all won two playoff games in 25 years, and you're going to sit here, put your chest down, and you're talking about" it's dawn of a new day "?!", Smith shouted. To vigorous vexations, he added, "You are nothing. You have not been anything. "

Shaking his finger at Irvin, Smith laughed at the former Cowboy saying, "The last time you did anything, you had an Afro!

However, he immediately took the role of the villain, saying to Irvin: "You are a champion who walks with rings, but these boys have not been won for 23 years and you sit well. here representing them. You should be ashamed of yourself! Smith pointed to the crowd and shouted, "You should be ashamed of yourself! "

Irvin, the brilliant front as Patrick Ewing in the fourth quarter of a playoff match against the Heat, replied that Cooper's youth, Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott meant the Cowboys had "10 good years" in front of them, repeating the sentence, "Dawn of a new day."

While Kellerman continued to doubt Prescott's ability to be a top quarterback, Irvin returned to rampant fashion, claiming that the third-year player "has recorded the biggest rookie season of all time! Ever! He added: "Dak Prescott is a leading player! "

Finally, Irvin took note of what ESPN's hearing could see for a while: "I'm sweating now. Why do I sweat? Is it hot here?

To the songs of "Mi-chael! Mi-chael! Shouted it. I have resumed his show! Because that's my city!

Kellerman then referred to Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, who is 70-57 in eight years and over in Dallas, with two appearances in the playoffs. "Is he an excellent coach?" Kellerman asked.

Perhaps it was revealing that the subject of the coach so much maligned elicited a much quieter response from Irvin. He said that Garrett "knows how to work with this group of guys," adding, "For now, he has young talent, and tonight is the beginning of that."
