Super Bowl 60 certainly left its mark, but not always for the right reasons. From the spectacle of Bad Bunny’s halftime show to the surprising financial hiccup for Sam Darnold despite clinching the championship, it was an event packed with intrigue.
Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin didn't hold back when discussing his experience at Levi’s Stadium. The enduring rivalry between the Cowboys and the 49ers was palpable, and Irvin was vocal about his dissatisfaction with the event and its setting.
Irvin, a three-time Super Bowl champion, described the experience as lackluster. “This was a horrible Super Bowl.
They should never bring the Super Bowl back to San Francisco,” he remarked. “In all my years attending the Super Bowl, this was the worst.
The city felt dull, the people were unengaged, and even the buildings seemed uninspiring.”
He continued, “With all the tech money here, I expected more. It all felt so underwhelming… I couldn't wait to express how disappointing this was.
NFL, don't come back here. Super Bowl, no.
NFC Championship game, if they earn it, maybe.”
Irvin isn’t alone in his sentiment, though others have different reasons for wanting a change of venue.
Switching gears, Irvin also had strong advice for Cowboys’ wide receiver George Pickens, who is approaching free agency. Irvin is adamant that Pickens should remain in Dallas.
“I hope he doesn't make a foolish decision,” Irvin said. “George has found a great fit in Dallas, a team that can utilize his talents. It would be a mistake to leave now, especially after his best season.”
The Cowboys, without a Super Bowl win for 30 years, are hopeful that Pickens could be a pivotal piece in ending that drought.
