Michael Irvin is setting the record straight after rumors insinuated he was using an illegal substance.
Irvin was cheering on the Miami Hurricanes on the sidelines during their run to the National Championship game. Along the way, Irvin's behavior was seen as very animated, even taking off his belt at one point.
He then crouched down on all fours.

"I hadn't partaken in 20 years, but if you got some five-hour stuff, let me know,” he joked on the Jan. 19 episode of his The White House podcast to co-hosts former NFL star Brandon Marshall and retired-NBA forward Michael Beasley, on Jan. 19 where they broke into a laughing fit.
He added, “That's just what I'm saying, like stop it. Stop saying this stuff."
Irvin shared that he is just naturally enthusiastic, despite some people needing drugs to act that way.
"Whenever you sitting your a-- at home high, you want to think everybody else is high," Irvin continued. "Because your a-- is high! I understand that, but the reality is everybody ain't high."
“I hadn’t partaken in 20 years, but if you got some five hour stuff, let me know. Stop saying this stuff.”

He followed up with his reasoning a couple of days later on the second episode of his podcast on Jan. 22.
"I'm right there in front of the camera for five hours," Irvin said. "So, after the game, I do a little belt thing, and everybody sends me all this — 'Man, Mike, right now, he coked up right now! You all on coke!' I'm like, 'Wait a minute, y'all. First of all, y'all know d**n well coke don't last five hours.'"
Despite the enthusiasm on the sidelines, the Miami Hurricanes lost to the Indiana Hoosiers 27-21 last week. It put Irvin in a sour mood where he just wanted to be alone.
“I was depressed after the game, I’m not gonna lie,” Irvin told Cam'ron and Ma$e on their It Is What It Is podcast. “I was depressed. Everybody was calling me, saying, ‘Let’s go out and party.’ I said, ‘I ain’t going nowhere.’”
He added, “As I’m trying to leave the stadium, all the Indiana fans, ‘Mr. Irvin, I’m a Cowboys fan, can we take a picture?’ Hell nah, I ain’t taking a picture with y’all.’”
Irvin was indicted on felony cocaine possession in March 1996. If he had been convicted, he would have faced up to 20 years in prison.
