So when his contract was up, they lowballed him on an offer (actually I hear they asked him to take a pay cut) and he took a walk. That's how we got to see Michael Irvin on a weekly basis.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard that. That would make sense though. It just seemed like everyone liked Sharpe (ie: berman, Young etc), guess not.
But still why replace a "class act on the screen" in Sharpe for a some dope with a rap sheet longer than Bruce Smith's arm?
