How Irvin overcame predraft character issues

Congratulations, young man... you have been given your chance.



Don't screw it up!

"If they didn't take him someone else would have".

This sounds like deer hunting logic: "If I didn't shoot that <little> buck someone else would have".

This could be great for Seattle if the guy tells the truth and he's comitted to the team

NOt sure there is enough cocaine left in the world for that.

I think we now have a new defense for our Court system. " Your honor, while it is true I have had some character issues in the past, i have written you a personal email about it and I am now a new man."

Yes, we should all be so impressed by this grand effort to show that he is a new man.

I hope he is sincere and that he makes the best of his chance. What really surprised me was Jeff Fisher drafting Janoris Jenkins after having had to deal with PacMan Jones in Tennessee.

Yes, but at least the NFL Network shows a high level of integrity by employing such stellar athletes as analysts.

I wish him luch but question so much of this. A personal email carries about as much weight as an apologetic text, except he's not limited to character space. Seriously? No assistance from his "handlers". Was that determination made because spell check wasn't used before hitting send?

I don't wish him luch; I wish him luck.

It wasn't an email it was a letter, the media always make things seem bigger what it is believe i know. True this young man has been through a lot and made mistakes along the way. How many of us has made mistakes, No on knows about ours because we are not in the spotlight. I have watch this man grow from a boy to a man and I am very proud at what he has become. I will love him regardless. This is coming from someone who knows and been there. Bruce Irvin's' godmother. I am tired of the media dogging my baby.

The bar has been set pretty low, eh?

Words are words and actions are....

As Luck would have it, he got drafted by a Lousy Team!

I give him the international sign of affection................Irvin.....You're number 1

Wow, Mick...while I am in the camp that says that NO team needs a player with character issues the scope of which Irvin is reported to have, that's pretty harsh. The Seahawks SHOULD have stayed at #12 and taken David DeCastro IMO. We'll see how it works out for Pete and John.
