Michael Irvin Speaks About LaDainian Tomlinson's Comments

LaDainian Tomlinson didn’t hold anything back when interviewed on Showtime’s Inside the NFL.

He was asked about the controversies surrounding the New York Jets this season.

“It's as bad as I’ve ever been around,” Tomlinson said.

Tomlinson added that he wishes head coach Rex Ryan wouldn’t make such bold predictions and he defended the work habits of Mark Sanchez.

Michael Irvin weighed in on Tomlinson’s comments during his radio show at about 11 this morning.

Irvin said it’s never good to bad mouth your former employer about your relationship.  The next person that considers employing you will remember your comments.  They will be hesitant to hire you based on the fact you may bad mouth their organization once you two part ways.

It’s just like what happened with Tiki Barber.  Tiki can’t get a job in football or on television, Irvin added.
 
Irvin’s radio show co-host "Captain" Curtis Stevenson said, “It’s a good life lesson.”

And it’s a lesson Tomlinson may learn the hard way.  There's a chance that LT's mouth just cost him a chance at signing with an NFL team as a free agent this off season and a chance at signing a contract with a television network once he retires.
