"Look up, get up, and don't ever give up"

Being a Cowboy fan, I'm sure that this will sound a little biased, but Michael Irvin gave an incredible, emotional speech tonight while being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He definitely didn't hold back by dancing around all of the problems he dealt with off the field. He told his sons that he wished he could of said to "be like me" but that he knew he couldn't. He told them to be like other Hall of Famers that didn't get into trouble. He was very honest and real.

Some might say that he got a little preachy, but I thought it was very cool that he would use such a big stage to talk about God, the Bible, and even opening up his speech by praying and thanking his spiritual father {TD Jakes}. But overall it was a great speech that ended with him encouraging everyone to look up, get up, and don't ever give up.

Congrats for getting into the Hall.
