He said his wife has already been struggling with the disease for five or six years.

Irvin says he is refusing to put Sandy in a nursing home, and has instead hired a live-in caretaker for her.

“If anyone has earned the right to stay in her house, MY WIFE HAS!!!” Michael told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

“That I shall honor. No matter what it takes.”

The couple have been together since the 1980s after meeting together at the University of Miami.

They were married in 1990 and have been in a happy union in the decades since.

Best wishes for Irvin came in from throughout the NFL world.

A number of fans sent messages on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.

Irvin’s decade with Dallas was the stuff of folklore.

The wide receiver played his entire NFL career with the Cowboys.

With this season’s schedule now revealed, eager NFL fans are looking to secure tickets to their favorite games.

You can start buying tickets for some games on several sites now:

Before purchasing tickets on resale websites check pricing as they are third-party sellers and, importantly, the cost can vary depending on demand. You may pay more than an official ticket, though you can also get good last-minute deals too.

But if you can’t be there in person, don’t worry, there’s still time to set up your stream before the season starts.

And the Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1996 Super Bowl for more glory.

Irvin finished his career with 750 receptions for 11,904 yards and 65 touchdowns.

He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.

Since his playing days, Irvin has worked in broadcasting.
