The headline here pretty much says it all: Michael Irvin dancing in a pink tutu is indeed Michael Irvin dancing ballet in a pink tutu. Like Homer J. Simpson’s thoughts during the Springfield Film Festival: “but the football in the groin movie had a a guy getting hit in the groin by a football.”
We love #88; the NFL Network Analyst gave us a couple of exclusive interviews for our podcast: you can check them out here and here, so we’re going to reciprocate the favor by plugging his next project.
The Michael Irvin photo below is a still from an all-new episode of Nickelodeon’s latest live-action comedy series Bella and the Bulldogs
It premieres Saturday, Feb. 14 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT).
In the new episode entitled, “Dancing In The End Zone,” Bella (Brec Bassinger) suggests that Troy take a ballet class at her mom’s studio in order to improve his footwork on the field. When Troy begins to have conflicting feelings about the class, Michael Irvin (as himself) appears to Troy in a dream and gives him the advice he needs. Meanwhile, the boys on the team start to wonder where Troy has been spending his free time and Bella goes to great lengths to keep his secret.
