Michael Irvin Pulling For Deion Sanders After Home Visit
Michael Irvin Pulling For Deion Sanders After Home Visit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Deion Sanders has said he'll be returning to Boulder ahead of the Colorado Buffaloes 2025 season. However, there is no timeline on when as he continues to deal with an unknown health issue at his estate in Texas. Advertisement Sanders got a visit from his Pro Football Hall of Fame teammate Michael Irvin last week. The Dallas Cowboys legend spoke briefly on Coach Prime's health during an episode of his podcast after seeing him. "Whenever I'm with him, we laugh like I don't know what," Irvin said. "This is my boy. I battled with this dude. I know how strong this dude is. I know how he is. He's physically strong, mentally strong, emotionally strong. He's strong. And we've had battles, and I respect him as a giant." Sanders has dealt with notable health issues over the past five years. He hasn't been at full strength, but Irvin left feeling confident Sanders will be back on track soon. "I've never seen Deion not want to battle," Irvin said. "I guarantee you he's going to be ok. That's the most important part." Irvin didn't explain what's going on with Sanders and will allow him to tell the world when's ready. Not much is known about what Coach Prime might be dealing with and it's unclear whether this latest round is related to the series of previous health issues, including blood clots in his lower extremities. Advertisement Sanders admitted to former NFL defensive back Asante Samuel that his latest illness caused him to lose 14 pounds. 'What I'm dealing with right now is a whole other level," Sanders said.

Stagehand union will have 3-day informational picket in Clinton
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada (IATSE) is taking action against the organizers of Tailgate N' Tallboys, alleging USA Concerts and Events breached a labor agreement and refused to hire local stagehands in Clinton and Bloomington, Ill., according to a news release from the union. The IATSE will hold an informational picket in regard to the Tailgate N' Tallboys festival in Clinton. The picket will be from 7:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 2nd Street (Route 67) and 6th Avenue North in Clinton. The release says USA Concerts and Events signed a collective bargaining agreement with Davenport-based IATSE Local 85 in 2023. From rigging and forklift operation to spotlighting and camera work, union members have ensured safe, efficient, and professional execution of the event's technical needs. Similarly, Local 193 of central Illinois has covered the festival's operations for nearly a decade. 'Our local has safely and flawlessly serviced the Tailgate N' Tallboys Festival in Clinton since its inception,' said IATSE Local 85 Business Agent Joe Goodall. 'This event is a vital source of income for many area workers and their families. It's deeply disappointing that the organizers are forcing us to pursue legal action simply to ensure fair treatment for the local workers that have helped make this festival possible.' 'After almost ten years of IATSE Local 193 members serving as the dedicated workforce for Tailgate N' Tallboys, organizers want to abandon the workers and community that made it into the large and successful event it is today in favor of an out-of-state labor company. It's extremely disheartening,' said IATSE Local 193 Business Agent Michael Irvin. USA Concerts' decision to bypass union crews in favor of an out-of-state, non-union labor provider not only undermines standards for live event workers in the Midwest but also attempts to violate an established Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The contract contains a clear Evergreen clause, which automatically renews the deal unless terminated by written notice, but no such notice was given. The situation is further aggravated by the festival's actions in Bloomington, where Tailgate N' Tallboys also refused to hire area IATSE workers from Local 193. This pattern of bypassing local union labor undermines prevailing wage standards and deprives professionals of vital work in their own communities. The locals involved, with support from International union, are pursuing legal remedies and have issued a formal notice to USA Concerts, reinforcing their contractual obligations. IATSE continues to call on the organizers of Tailgate N' Tallboys to honor their signed agreement and support the local communities they operate in by hiring qualified, area union labor.'

'You still have time to delete it': Buffalo Bills fans react to Bills celebrating Pride Month
(Image via Getty) This Pride month, and always, we're proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ - read Buffalo Bills X post on June 1. Fans came up with innumerable reactions to this post. Some with support, some with concern, and others wanted the Buffalo Bills just to do football things. And some were worried about the comments section for the X post. One fan wrote, 'No doubt the comments here will be positive, peaceful, and respectful! I'm proud of you guys', another said, 'Lord help this comment section 🙏', and a third fan clearly commented, 'You still have time to delete it.' Buffalo Bills share resources for celebrating Pride Month but some fans don't appreciate it If one clicks on the resources mentioned in the official Buffalo Bills X post, it takes them to the official Buffalo Bills website. Under the 'Community' section, it shows CELEBRATING PRIDE. Under that main heading, the user can see four sub-headings: The Gender Unicorn from Trans Student Educational Resources, Gender Pronouns(TSER), The Coming Out Handbook (The Trevor Project), and the 2024 National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People (The Trevor Project). When the user clicks on any of those tabs, further information comes up. When the Bills shared this link with the X world, the X world reacted to it in the following ways - some comments were about Pride, some about comments, some about doing football things, and some were just reactions. Some sayings on the Buffalo Bills X post spoke about Pride Pride is a sin. Just sayin. A month to celebrate your sexual preference and one day to celebrate veterans who fought and died for our country. 🤦🏻♂️ Thank you for this ❤️ It matters ❤️💪 Love this! Way to go Bills! I'm so impressed with all the support today. Love not hate, always! 🌈 Some remarks displayed worry about comments on the Buffalo Bills X post I'm sure the comments will be rational this year. *Here for the man baby comments of people who can't deal with anyone not exactly like them* 🍿🍿🍿 Thank you for still posting this regardless of what the comment section looks like❤️🌈 You didn't turn off the comment section. Some comments directed the Buffalo Bills to do football things Stop the g*y mafia promotions Stick to football. What a retarded f**king month. Stop virtue signaling and stick to football you clowns. Can we please stop doing g*y and retarded sh*t? You're a football organization, how about we just do football things. I've been a fan since the 60s. Forget the politics. Just win a Super Bowl, OK? Stick to football. Let football be football. We don't care, stick to football. Proud of never going to the Super Bowl in 30 years? Some utterances were just reactions to the Buffalo Bills X post Disgusting. Pathetic. Unfollow. Super disappointing display of pandering, @BuffaloBills. Stop this nonsense. No one cares if you're a weirdo.

'We going to shock y'all a**es this year': Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin is over-the-top excited for the newly assembled Cowboys squad
(Image via Getty: Michael Irvin) Six months back, the Dallas Cowboys legend was so sore. So sore about his hopes from the fraternity of the Cowboys. He went on to say, 'They're snatching America's team off our backs. We're losing a generation, man. A whole generation. A third Cowboys generation right now will never know . How are they going to tell their kids about it?' What was he yawping about? The three-time Super Bowl Champion for the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Irvin , was not happy about the Cowboys choosing Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach over Deion Sanders. He said in 30 years, there's been no Super Bowl win for the Cowboys! And he was worried sick about the Cowboys' future? But now? How the turn tables - courtesy: The Office . Apologies. How the tables have turned! Michael Irvin is so, so, so over-the-top happy, excited, and hopeful about the newly formed Dallas Cowboys team! The Office: Well, well, well. How the turntables... [HD] 'Competition under pressure,' says Sportscaster Michael Irvin about the new Dallas Cowboys team Michael Irvin expressed his excitement through his self-named YouTube show, 'We have a new head coach. We have new things going on. I wanted to see how things are being implemented. Full speed in practice. I said competition under pressure. I'm telling you - I like what I saw. I like how he(Brian Schottenheimer) is handling it. I like how the coach goes about it. We had a great practice. We started off - it was crisp. Everybody was hyped. They were making all kinds of plays. We went on the field.' Michael Irvin Reacts to Dallas Cowboys Brian Schottenheimer 'Really excited about this season,' says NFL Analyst Michael Irvin about the fresh squad of Dallas Cowboys 'We are working on the right stuff. I'm telling you - I walked out of there really excited about this season. And I'm going to tell you, a lot of people going to be sleeping. Going to be sleeping like I don't know what. You going to sleep, and then we going to creep,' Irvin vouched and declared. Michael Irvin at Dallas Cowboys Practice 'Fear and anxiety? That sh*t ain't gonna work,' says 3-time Super Bowl Champion Michael Irvin about the nascent Dallas Cowboys crew The NFL legend mentions the hype around Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. Irvin shared, 'Everybody talking about Washington. Everybody telling about Philadelphia. And the Cowboys got the hardest edge we've ever seen - oh my god, oh my god, oh my god - No. No. No. What you all are trying to do when you're saying all of that - is create this fear and anxiety. But what I saw today was what I needed to see. So I can tell you - that sh*t ain't gonna work because I saw a man(Brian Schottenheimer) that's trying to grab all of this opportunity that he has. And he's changing that culture. And he's done one thing that I hold true - you must make people comfortable. Two things: competing like a mother, brother, and then pressure. And why I didn't put talent in here for you guys is - to understand that talent's going to vary. And talent matters when we're the freshest.' 'We gonna shock some of you jokers,' says 5-time Pro Bowler Michael Irvin Concluding on a confident note, the Cowboys legend said, 'You know, I was worried - going into this year after coming out of last year, saying we need to do things to bring hope back to the Cowboys, back to the fanbase. I'm telling you - it's hope. It is here. And we gonna shock some of you jokers. I'm telling you - If they continue like this and hold on to what I saw today, I can real damn tell you: we will shock the world because they got the talent. I always told you they have the skill and the intensity now, and the players together now, creating every situation as a competition under pressure. Competition under pressure. That's how we create the collective. We going to shock y'all a**es this year!'
