Congrats and well deserved.

Whenever he's in one of his phases of posting here, his posts are appointment reading.

His investigation and knowledge of the 2005-'07 Springdale saga is unmatched.

Thanks everybody. I don't know anybody at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (sounds important) so I don't know how they came up with my name but I'll take it. It's a lot better than winning an award for sucking at your job.  ;D

As a journalist you cut through the bull and report the facts. Even when it maybe painful. That to me is the most important aspect of your career. You are a journalist first and foremost.

Congrats Mike!

So few "journalists" today actually report facts. They seem to believe it is their job to advance whatever the agenda of their network. Mike is one that will just tell the truth as he believes it to be. I wish they would clone him. Well deserved honor.

Just another example of someone moving to NWA and flourishing.  It is truly God's country.

And while I don't always agree with Mike, I do appreciate the fact he gives his honest opinion, and shares as much as he can about situations, and there's no agenda there, it's just here's what I think or here is what happened or what I was told.  He's not doing it to generate clicks, gain favor, or make anyone look good or bad. 
Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Congrats regardless. One of these days you will ALSO win a much more prestigious award.

Well deserved.  Instead of high hatting us like I would if I won a reward Iron Mike will be back in here mixing it up with the blasingames, Vonners, hamseys, and know it all truck drivers just like a normal man.  That's why the man deserves a trophy on hogville, too.  Or a forum named after him.

So everyone one of the nationalized incidents were justified? There is no race problems with policing? If that is what you believe.....well bless your heart, it must be hard going through life with the obstacles you must have to overcome. Do they send a bus to come pick you up?

My favorite memory of Mike is one time during basketball season a few years ago we shot something like 1 for 20 from three point line.  It was an atrocious percentage.  OTR historians can probably find the thread and the exact percentage and over what period of time we shot so poorly.  I posted that if I had taken 20 shots that I was sure I could make more than 1 shot.  I don't even remember if it was three pointers or not.  And seems like it was 1 for 25 or 4%.  Mike quickly informed me that I could not make 1 out of 25 (I still think I could) and I learned quickly Iron mike Irwin asks no quarter and gives no quarter. 

I wish I had a better memory or I wish we had a search function in hogville to dredge this one back up.

Props to Mike Irwin. Well deserved honor.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.
