Michael Irvin excluded from Super Bowl coverage following alleged incident at a hotel in Arizona.

PHOENIX (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – Michael Irvin was removed from the remainder of the NFL Network’s coverage of the week’s Super Bowl following a complaint about Irvin’s behavior at the hotel on Sunday night.

The Hall of Fame receiver spoke on a Dallas radio station Wednesday and said network officials asked him to move to another hotel on Monday after what he described as a brief encounter with a woman.

“Michael Irvin will not be participating in NFL Network’s weekly coverage of Super Bowl LVII,” NFL Network spokesman Alex Ritmiller said in a statement.

In an interview with Dallas’ 105.3 The Fan and Dallas Morning News, Irvin said the conversation with the woman lasted from 45 seconds to one minute. Irvine also said that he did not remember the meeting at first because “to tell you the truth, I had a bit of a drink”.

Irvine said that he did not know the woman and that “there were no sexual offenses”.

“Sunday night… when I walked into the hotel, they asked me what I was doing and I said, ‘I just went straight to my room,'” Irwin said during the Shan & RJ show. “But I think I talked to someone in the lobby for about a minute and then I went to my room. And after I went off the air [the next day]they said, “Come on, we have to transfer you to another hotel.”

“I said, ‘I didn’t talk to anyone. I went straight to the room.” And then the camera showed that I was talking to someone. I talked to this girl for about a minute. [show me the video]. They told me [that I was on the video talking to her]. I didn’t see it. … I think the girl said that I said something to her the minute we were talking, and that’s why they touched me.”

Irvin has been with the NFL Network since 2009. He did appear during the network’s coverage of the Super Bowl premiere on Monday.

Glendale, Arizona police said they had not received any reports of any incident involving Irvine.
