Bob and Dan are goofing on barry horn for promoting irvin all this time.

lol

they are laughing about how bad the fan is and how the only show that the fan has been able to affect is irvin's show.
 
Sucks, i was one of the few that enjoyed the Irvin show. Not sure why this stuff keeps happening to Michael...like a dark cloud following him.

I don't even want to know. But it does make me chuckle...
 
When it's found to be untrue, can he sue for defamation of character?

Probably because he's had run-ins before and is an easy target. He wasn't known to be the most conservative Cowboy in the 90s (not sure any of them were). He could have had sex with the lady, and now she's looking for money. Pretty obvious the allegations are untrue, but that won't stop companies who don't want any bad PR from getting rid of him because of it. She should be punished for that.
 
This report certainly bums me out.

I know some think Irvin is a con. I don't. I think he's sincere. He has certainly had his problems in the past. Some (all?) he has owned up to.

I have no idea if these recent allegations are true. I hope they're not.

If Irvin has stayed clean regarding drugs and women I suspect it has been a fierce battle. Those temptations often times don't just go away because you become aware of their destructiveness or a higher calling. They want you back. So I'm not going to be shocked one way or the other.

For selfish reasons I hope Mike is innocent and cleared so he can stay in the public eye because I do think he's trying to stay clean and his apparent frankness on the topic in the past has been inspirational.

In either case I hope Mike continues to pursue the righteous life that I think he is genuinely seeking. True or not, Mike isn't perfect and never will be. That is not to excuse whatever his transgressions have been or will be.
 
Don't feel like reading through the thread but was Michael Irvin's show cancelled because of the allegations?

Seems like Michael Irvin could sue ESPN on the basis of innocent until proven guilty.

More on Michael Irvin and ESPN 103.3

Barry Horn/Reporter E-mail News tips

Here's what I know:

For months I have been hearing rumors that the radio station was unhappy with Irvin's ratings. I was on an airplane headed off on a December vacation when a friend called to tell me that the firing was imminent and he would be replaced by Ben & Skin. When I landed I made some calls and no one would confirm it.

At the Cowboys-Eagles playoff game in January, I talked to several people from the radio station and they said Irvin's show was on life support and there were talks about dumping the show and perhaps finding another roles for Irvin at the station.

I called Irvin a few days later and asked him for comment about the rumors. He said he hadn't heard them and asked for time so he could talk to station officials. I also told him that the word was that Kevin Kiley would be let go.

I connected with Irvin again last Friday morning. He was already in Fort Lauderdale for the Super Bowl. He told me he had talked to station management and was told there were no plans to end the show. I then checked with Pete Dits, the station general manager, and he told me while he hoped for better ratings, there were no plans to end the show. I wrote about it for last Saturday's Hot Air.

After news broke last night about a civil lawsuit for an alleged Irvin rape in Fort Lauderdale back July, 2007, I started making calls about his media future.

I got a definitive answer about the radio show this morning from ESPN headquarters in Bristol. ESPN stressed it had made the decision. ESPN said it planned to make the move after the Super Bowl but decided to move up the schedule after news of lawsuit hit.

Irvin was a no-show this morning for a scheduled event wit the North Texas Super Bowl Committee. I have a call in to him and will call ESPN 103.3 in a couple of minutes.

P.S. I was up at ESPN 103.3 FM a couple of months ago and asked station manager Tom Lee about Irvin's contract status. He told me a new contract was a done deal. I also talked to Nate Newton, who is savvier about these things than he lets on, and he asked me one question: "What's wrong with our show?"

See that's my point.

Irvin is MARRIED. He promised the world in Canton that he would try to be a better husband & father. We all believed him. Now this. Even if the rape claim is false, Irvin put himself in this situation by [allegedly] having relations with a woman not his wife.

His guilt or innocence isn't the issue for me -- its his character & (lack of) judgement.
 
umm, you are assuming he banged the lady accusing him.

Why not wait a second to question a guy's character, especially a dude like mike who everyone thought turned a page in his life.
 
@Four: you're right -- let's assume Mike is as innocent as a newborn baby.

So this lady just picked him out of a crowded bar, filed a false police report and tried extorting him for no reason?
