What a powerful, giving, brave, naked, humble speech. The man bared his soul. Who does that? I applaud you Michael Irvin.

Michael Irvin has that "IT" which means he is gifted with charisma. I appreciated this speech because Michael admitted his past transgressions and is now a changed man. A good man, a man with integrity. Today he is a much better person than he ever was as a Football Player (An All Time Great). I could listen to him all day!

best speech ive heard. cried a lot about redemption and mistakes. powerful.

i chose this as my final exam speech for my public speaking class because i love this speech so much and im a huge cowboys fan. Go Cowboys!!!

Probably one of the best SPEECHES I've ever heard. I'm listening to it for the 10th time now and it's just as inspiring as the first time

Michael irvin made the best hall of fame speech i've ever seen. He's in general a great speaker.

If I had to pick one receiver to be on my team, it would be Michael Irvin. Not only was he one of the greatest talents the game has ever seen, he was also one of the greatest leaders.

Great speech. RIP Reggie White.

Great speech. Clearly a man who regrets some decisions in life. I can relate. I would tell my kids the same. Don't ever be like me and I'm sorry. Thanks Michael for sharing. You're alright in my book.

No script straight from the heart. As of 2015 his speech is top 3 of all time.

Best HOF speech ever. In any sport.

Darren Woodson should be a hall of famer. He revolutionized the safety position. He was ed reed before ed reed and he has 3 Super Bowl rings.

No matter how many times I've watched this it always touches my heart. This is beautiful

Was never a fan of Irvin as a player (partially bc I wasn't a Cowboys fan), but the guy seems like a genuinely gracious, humble, and loving guy. Big ups to him.

Michael Irvine's speech is the G.O.A.T, he first gave glory to God and he honored his family, coaches team mates former students of the game. Michael ended with instructions for his two sons to be a better father than he. Look up get up and move forward.

Absolutely love his speech. Greatest hall of fame speech ever.

Say whatever you want about his troubles. ON and OFF the field the Playmaker has HEART !!!!

One of the great speeches I've ever heard. Straight from the heart and beautifully delivered.

His ending speech to his son's is a the definition of being one of a kind man.

Gosh I never cried so much watching someone speak!! Sheesh! Where's the tissue when you need it!!!!! His words were so heartfelt and so true. This was so inspiring.

Michael Irvin is just a good guy.

He's an inspiration to all us

Best HOF speech ever!!!!!!!!

This was one of the best speeches if not the best in Hall of Fame history. Not just because I am a Die - Hard fan. But because he honored God!!!!

Michael Irving your speech touches my heart! I will never give up! No matter how hard it is, I always think of your words

Watching his mother just crying her eyes out when he talks about "latter days better than former ones & storytelling&laughing w/ mom & auntie" is so emotional & so fulfilling. It doesn't get much better.

Look up, get up, and never give up

Love my man Michael Irvin great wide receiver fantastic teammate a great analysis especially with the Cowboys the greatest cool when you bring Diamond over to help you with that Super Bowl Deion Sanders

this man is so passionate about football and about life. he's one of my role models. i hope to meet him one day

man what a speech

Micheal Irvin....the man... Not the myth....my latter days will be better than my badder days

Greatest Hall Of Fame speech of all time!! MIAMI'S OWN...THE PLAYMAKER

Great speech indeed

Magnificent speech; he spoke from his very core. Much respect to Mr. Irvin. To the haters, ..."He who is without sin, may throw the first rock."

A class act....Great speech and spectacular person. (Coming from an Eagles' fan)

by far and it aint even close the single greatest hall of fame speech any sport any time Michael Irvin thank u

Most underater wide-receiver in the NFL!!!! Ty Michael for the yoyo circus u gave me but ultimately as a AMERICA'S TEAM FAN TY for the joy! u r the best at your position Michael Irvin

Words cant speak how deep this speech really is ... playmaker

So humble. I have honestly anything else to say. Michael Irvin's speech is the most personless speech I've ever heard. What a man.

Michael Iriving is a pretty nice person who just wants the best for everyone. A true deserving WR. One of the best who was also a really good guy. Also, he made Jerry Jones tear up which honestly stays something: I dont think I ever seen Jerry tear up. He really is the most humble WR out there.

love Irvin.

My fav we of all time he was a beast he played with so much passion and heart he didn't have that burning speed that u want in a wr but he was physical and strong he alot of problems but he always over came them weather it was Jerry's money or what ever but I remember him for his love for the game

Was the heart and soul of those cowboy teams of the 90s

you did well Michael

I and DALLAS TEXAS would like to thank you you are one of the great of all time back to back super bowl champion and want to thank you again much love and respect God bless you and your family

Glen. Johnson. A. Very. Inspireing. Speech. And. Made. Feel. Very. Blessed. Too. Hear. A. Very. Humble. Man. Of. God. Who. Loves. His. Kids. And. Family. And. Wants. Them. Too. Grow up. Into. Young. Men. With. Good. Vaules.

Im no american fotball fan but this speech is awsome. My favorit moment starts at 23:56 omg so much emotion. This guy should go for politics.

That's the Playmaker right there. Canes Family Forever.

Very classy human being

Favorite speech all time. Spoke from the heart.

tasting your tears is NEVER a bad thing! god bless!

man what a speech he had is demon

Such an inspirational speech by the G.O.A.T. Michael Irvin.

I Love that !!❤💜 & OMFG YOU ARE AN Superb !!😍😍😍

No excuses, no lineup just straight business. Irvin is one of the last greats of a generation to play old school nfl football.

that was amazing

yeah easily the greatest hof speech

Irvin's speech was really amazing

As an Eagles fan I hate the Cowboys but I loved the 88 played the game

Wow, this one almost made me shed a tear

Love you Cowboys Nation!!!!

This made me respect him as a man. He does something very classy when he asks Jesus to help the late Gene Hickerson. Hickerson was a Guard for The Browns in the 60's who blocked for Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly and Bobby Mitchell. Jim Brown for years tried to get Hickerson inducted. IMO, Hickerson should've been inducted years before he actually was. Sadly, he was suffering from the effects of Alzheimer's Disease and had to be wheelchaired to the stage by Brown, Kelly and Mitchell.

That's Incredible

Not that my opinion amounts to a hill of beans, but Michael redeemed himself in my eyes with his speech. He bared his soul, admitted his mistakes and shortcomings at an occasion where most will all too gladly bask in the moment of adulation. He showed what a real man is.

great🔥🔥

Look Up, Get Up, and Don't Ever Give UP!!!!

That's because Barry Switzer was a lottery winner, right place, right time, right players. He didn't have to do shit but not let it fall apart. He deserves no credit.

My favorite cowboy

Amen Michael!

Great speech! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

The play maker! Class act!

For as much as Emmitt was his best friend, when the chips were down and NO ONE....NO ONE wanted to be around Michael, not even Emmitt, always remember it was TROY AIKMAN who stood behind him when Michael needed someone most, NOT Emmitt. Troy Aikman was the REAL leader, the TRUE role model. When Troy backed you up, when he put his name on the line for you...that is when you knew who the true leader of the Cowboys was. Truth be told, when we ere not doing well in 2001 winning was NOT the most important thing to Emmitt his last couple of years as a Cowboy, it was all about HIS yards and HIS ego. Don't believe me? You do not have to, all you have to do is look at the words of one Darren Woodson who I will always love and thank him for calling out Emmitt in the press and the locker room. When Michael needed someone the most, not Jimmy, not Emmitt, it was TROY or as Mike would say 'Roy. When he looked back and saw Troy in the court room, he was shocked.

Unplugged, but Still...............The U

A work in progress like all of ourselves . God bless

he is a hall of fame person

Straight out the U

Texas legend

Redemption

jerry rice michael irvin randy moss top 3 all time

🙌🏻

No walter payton speech is the best

FAVRE4EVER.

well said ray lewis

classic

the long and winding road

one of my top two or three fave cowboys (fave is danny white). had some friends on a trip from california, in '96, cruising around the valley ranch parking lot, and who was there? #88. of his own volition, he stopped them, and told them to get out of their car so they could take pics with him. even though my once friends are no longer, the story is still there... who does that? hint: not troy aikman or emmitt smith. would love to meet michael irvin.

I could run thru a fuckin wall after this

In our finest hour we crackhead on stage

21:50

Funny he didn't show no love for coach switzer

GO COWBOYS!!!

He doesnt want to bring us SB's he wants to bring in money. IF he wanted to bring in SB's he'd make changes which he hasnt done in a few yrs

You know Michael Irving slept with Jerry Jone's wife: Gene Irving! DAAAMMMNNN!🤣🤣😃😂 Why else would Husband and wife be sitting so far apart?!

Overrated. Smith was the whole team. Those 90s cowboys teams ran the ball more than twice the amount of passing it.

He's a preacher. This is terrible

Times up. Too long, too long. Speech to drawn out
