Michael Irvin pulled from Super Bowl coverage after alleged incident at Arizona hotel

PHOENIX (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Michael Irvin has been pulled from the remainder of NFL Network's Super Bowl week coverage after a complaint about Irvin's behavior in a hotel Sunday night.

The Hall of Fame wide receiver went on a Dallas radio station Wednesday and said he was asked by network officials to move to another hotel on Monday after what he described as a brief encounter with a woman.

"Michael Irvin will not be part of NFL Network's Super Bowl LVII week coverage," NFL Network spokesman Alex Riethmiller said.

In interviews with Dallas' 105.3 The Fan and the Dallas Morning News, Irvin said the conversation with the woman lasted between 45 seconds and one minute. Irvin also said he initially didn't remember the meeting because "I had a few drinks, to tell you the truth."

Irvin said he did not know the woman and that there was "no sexual wrongdoing."

"Sunday night... when I came into the hotel, they asked what I did and I said, `I just went straight to the room,"' Irvin said during the "Shan & RJ" show. "But I guess I had talked to somebody in the lobby for about a minute, and then I went to my room. And after I got off the air [the next day], they said, 'come on, we got to move you to another hotel.'

"I said: 'I didn't talk to anybody. I went straight to the room.' And then they showed it on camera that I did talk to somebody. I talked to this girl for about a minute. They didn't [show me the video]. They told me [that I was on the video talking to her]. I didn't see it. ... I guess the girl said I said something to her within that minute that we talked, and so they moved me."

Irvin has been with NFL Network since 2009. He did appear during the network's coverage of Super Bowl opening night on Monday.

Glendale, Arizona, police said they have not received any reports about any incident involving Irvin.
