Watch: Michael Irvin and Stephen A. Smith brought the energy on ‘First Take’

Michael Irvin was a guest host across from Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s “First Take” Monday morning, and oh boy, did he bring the energy.

The former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver was all kinds of hyped when debating Smith on the program. When they started talking about the Cleveland Browns, Irvin said he thought the Odell Beckham Jr.-Jarvis Landry partnership would work — comparing their friendship to how friends LeBron James and Dwyane Wade flourished together in Miami. There was so much electricity in the room it almost looked like your TV screen would combust:

Is there any wonder how Irvin developed his reputation as “The Playmaker”? He is magnetic.

Irvin says he is headed next to Dallas Cowboys camp in Oxnard, Calif.

Just got done beating down my boy ⁦@stephenasmith⁩ on ⁦@FirstTake⁩ and now I am getting on the plane to head to ⁦@dallascowboys⁩ training camp tomorrow. Folks it’s that time of the year! ⁦@NFL⁩ Football. pic.twitter.com/6YZ2XwU03g

Maybe while there he can show Jerry Jones how to really answer a question.
