NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin is trolled by social media for bizarre way he watched his Miami Hurricanes from the sideline: 'Nasty work'

NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin picked an unusual position from which to watch the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday night, and fans roasted the former receiver afterwards.

Irvin, who starred at Miami in college before moving onto the pros, was in Berkeley as the Hurricanes took on the California Golden Bears.

And with his team trailing 38-25 in the fourth quarter, Irvin resorted to getting on his hands and knees on the sideline.

While the Hurricanes would go on to earn a 39-38 win, his now-viral pose drew him plenty of trolling from fans., 

'Get up off your hands and knees my brotha,' one wrote on X.

'Sports have had an unhealthy effect on my life for a long time, but I feel assured that it’s never gotten so bad that I’ve watched a game doggystyle,' another cracked.

 'On all 4s on a national broadcast is NASTY work,' a third added.

The replies came under a post from the official SportsCenter account, which said 'Michael Irvin is going through it' with a crying-laughing emoji.

 Some fans put a positive spin on his interesting pose.

'He was praying for a comeback, and they came back. lol,' one said.

Another added, 'Irvin never holds back, his energy is something else, especially during these games.'

Whether or not Irvin's 'energy' played a role, the Hurricanes took a late lead as Elijah Arroyo caught a five-yard touchdown from Cam Ward.

The Hurricanes (6-0) are undefeated and No. 6 in the latest AP poll.
