  Deadspin, with some help from The Smoking Gun, just posted an item in which it breaks down Michael Irvin's Monday-evening almost-carjacking and finds his story, well, a bit sketchy. As in: "Irvin didn't report the incident until the following day, more than 24 hours after Monday's supposed confrontation. And he reported it by flagging down a police car. What?" A full postmortem follows. Then again, this just-posted interview with Bruce Campbell could explain everything: Perhaps The Playmaker was

  A few Dallas Cowboys quick hits, apropos on a morning blanketed with a freezing fog. We begin, where else, with MartyB -- which is to say, tight (not bright) end Martellus Bennett, who follows his now-vanished rap video ("Romo, homo, etc.") with the apology below. FOXSports.com is reporting that the Cowboys have fined Bennett more than $22,000 for the original offering, though it's unclear why -- for the language, for sporting the helmet or for being dreadful. If it's the latter, expect more fin

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Might Michael Irvin's days at ESPN Radio be numbered? This isn't sourced "breaking news", but more so a simple putting two-and-two together and arriving at a common sense conclusion. And, no, it has nothing to do with Irvin getting sued for allegedly stealing his Fourth and Long concept or the mysterious disappearance of that gun-pointing incident he reported last January. Consider

• From Cotton Bowl to Courthouse, Michael Irvin is Sued Over 4th and Long Tryout Show

  As far as Jordan Bealmear, Shannon Clark and Christopher Harding are concerned, Michael Irvin intercepted their idea for a football tryout show. Which is why, late last week, the threesome filed suit against Irvin in Dallas County District Court in which they claim his 4th and Long, currently airing on SpikeTV, is nothing more than a ripoff of a concept they not only pitched Irvin and his agent back in 2007, but one to which he allegedly agreed to sign on to before backing off and doing his own

  The kind folks at SpikeTV have passed along this sneak peek at Michael Irvin's Fourth and Long, his limited-run series featuring a bunch of washed-out Dallas Cowboys wanna-bes set to debut on The Dude Network next month. The series was shot earlier this year at the Cotton Bowl and features several notable Cowboys exes, by which I mean Joe Avezzano and Bill Bates. But they must have spent a fortune on the animatronic Jerry Jones.

In the wake of the Valley Ranch practice facility collapse on May 2, last night's premiere of Spike TV's new reality series Fourth and Long at Sting matured from a big party into a bigger purpose. The event was delayed a week and turned into a fundraiser for Cowboys' scouting department assistant Rich Behm, paralyzed from the waist down in the tragedy. A

  Jesse Holley: Legitimate longshot or laughingstock?I guess there was some drama involved, but don't tell me you're totally surprised that the winner of Spike TV and Michael Irvin's 4th and Long is - ta-da! - a Michael Irvin clone. Jesse Holley has the size (6-foot-3), speed (4.5) and smile of Irvin, and now he has a chance. Albeit the longest of longshots.
