A) Fool
B) Senile
C) Bitter
D) Useless
E) All of the above
I swear this man has no value anymore. He’s not an insider with anyone in the department and his opinions are just awful. His breakdowns are even worse
Ok I’m done complaining for now.

What did Irwin do now?

I'll go with D.

Haven't read anything of his in a couple of years but back when I used to visit tardville daily I didn't like him. He's a sacred cow there. Full of shite but not allowed to be called out on it. Big Tech has nothing on tardville when it comes to censorship.

D, so is Grit, Biddy and Duddley among others

I met Duddley at a baseball game. He was friendly and harmless. With grit I found out he was depressed and disappeared for a short time after posting some comments on Facebook. Some his friends thought he attempted suicide but I think he got the help he needed.
Biddy just sticks out like a sore thumb and is vanilla. Mike knows his history but is very opinionated and had went off the cliff with his rant a bout Malik Monk. He always has a pissed off look on his face. I talked with him but he rather be somewhere else.

This.
Irwin is decent in small doses and good for historical insight and tidbits from decades past, but he's also pretty useless for anything in the present day, since his contacts from the Broyles era AD are all gone.
I've always found him to be quite the revisionist historian as well. He'll straddle the fence and on someone like Long, Bert and/or Morris, and then act like he knew (and said) they were bad hires from the beginning once they're fired.
He also strikes me as a bit of a condescending, valedictory a-hole. Who knows if that's pure bitterness or just his natural inclination, but I don't care for it.
He's worshipped on Hogville, which is laughable in its own right.

He is the reason we have Pittman. He pushed him before we fired Chad.

I think the one I like the least is Bo Mattingly.

Dudley seems like a decent guy to have a beer with. Irwin actually does, too, because he would start telling all of the dirt on all of the coaches he used to cover.
Can't stand West and Biddy. They both seem like total pricks, especially the latter.
I just feel sorry for Otis. I won't make fun or talk about that guy in a negative way ever again. He's probably been picked on his whole life, so why should I add to the bullshite.
Clay Henry is probably the most likeable of everyone. Whenever he's on the radio, I tune in.
I also find Tom Murphy to be a nice enough guy.
Bob Holt should have been fired a decade ago for his press conferences alone.

Sit at a bar at a hotel during bowl week with both of these guys. They were a blast to talk too...

The Malik Monk rant was the least professional thing I’ve ever seen.

All these guys are cool if you get to know them. Otis fricks, if you can believe it.
From the above list, I would most want to have a beer with Tom Murphy. Nothing against the other guys but Murph is cool as hell.
As for Mike Irwin, I’m not a huge fan but I’ll never forget his commentary at Omaha in 2018. We were getting ready to run out on the field and cover Arkansas winning the national championship, then the pop foul happened and Mike walked out into the tunnel and screamed “CARSON SHADDY WHAT THE frick ARE YOU DOING!” I’ll never forget that, he really summed up what everyone was thinking.

That’s all the evidence you need that Mike Irwin doesn’t know shite about baseball. That drop was Eric Cole’s fault. The outfielder has to catch any ball that they can get to without diving. Cole gave up on the play and the ball still damn near hit him in the foot.
Shaddy took the blame because Eric Cole didn’t call the ball and go make what was a fairly routine play.
I remember back when he was on Bo’s show and he blamed the Arkansas lineup when they lost a game 11-9
