My guess would be it was Michael Irvin on another crack high.

So based on previous dumbass comments and "no-contest" pleas, I can see where this idiot would call in.

Problem was, he thought he was buying and just bought the Cowboys, not the domain name, for a grand sum of $275.00.

Folks, I can't make this crap up.

Michael Irvin Says Tony Romo's Athleticism Is Due to Black Ancestry

On Dan Patrick's radio show on Monday, ESPN analyst Michael Irvin was discussing what he sees as the great upside of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. About three and a half minutes into his appearance on the show, Irvin said Romo is a good athlete, then suggested that must mean he has an ancestor who is black.

"He doesn't look like he's that type of an athlete," Irvin said of Romo. "But he is. He is, man. I don't know if some brother down in that line somewhere, I don't know who saw what or where, his great-great-great-great-grandma ran over in the 'hood or something went down."


Patrick tried to suggest to Irvin that he shouldn't go there, but Irvin was having none of it, continuing:

"If great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma pulled one of them studs up out of the barn, 'Come on in here for a second,' you know, and they go out and work in the yard. You know, back in the day."

I don't particularly enjoy watching Irvin on ESPN, but I also don't think he's as bad a guy as he's often made out to be. His well-documented legal problems seem to be behind him, and that picture you see of Irvin at a benefit for the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis shows a side of him that most fans haven't seen.

Having said all that, I'm a little surprised that we haven't heard much of anything about these comments. Although Pro Football Talk has mentioned this, a Google News search shows that no mainstream media outlet has. Given that racially insensitive remarks usually create a media feeding frenzy, doesn't that strike you as strange?

So there you have it. Words of wisdom from a living Hall of Fame member.

Pay up, Michael.
