Michael Irvin returns to NFL Network

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Lol. Now you know the steps that happened to make Marriott settle?

Bro I don’t know what’s up with you. You are arguing with so many people you’re confusing what post you’re responding to.

You stated that you didn’t think Michael had a case. I only responded by stating fact! The fact that an attorney filed, a judge allow it to proceed and the defendant decided to settle all means that there was a case. If the judge deemed there wasn’t enough evidence,HE WOULD HAVE THROWN THE LAWSUIT OUT. That’s all fact

I’m done!

 

[MarcusRock]

you are not understanding how any of this worked. Yes, it was essentially Marriott with its complain that was keeping him from his job. It was whatever they were telling the NFL that kept mike off the air. Why didnt Irvin include the NFL in his lawsuit against Marriott? He didnt want to bite the hand that feeds him. He sued Marriott for one reason only, to pressure them to retract whatever info they gave to the NFL so he could get his JOB back. Irvin would not have settled if he didnt get his job back. We dont know what was going on behind the scenes... but regardless of any settlement, ask yourself why all of the sudden he was back at work? Was the NFL in on the settlement? if not, how the hell did the settlement happen and within hours Mike had his job back? That settlemt was somehow 100% tied to Mike getting his job back. He had assurances from the NFL that he would go back on the air if the settlement happ[ened.

I'm sure the NFL was involved. My first statement at hearing the news was that any financial settlement was probably the NFL paying and not Marriott. But the hotel can do whatever they want with their investigation so long as they aren't backing a lie or intending to slander (again, who publicized all this?). The fact Irvin didn't sue the NFL for suspending him or whatever is HIS problem. The NFL revoked his job temporarily, not Marriott. So it also could have been the NFL that wanted it over so they didn't get sued too. But my point in all this is that Marriott didn't seem to be at fault to me so I doubt anything negative comes to them from this settlement with urgency from Irvin or the NFL on this.

suspended means no pay... he was basically put on the commissioners exempt list.

"Inappropriate," is pretty subjective. And i have said from day 1, ANY comment he SPOKE to that woman, unless it was some threat of physical violence, should never have cost him a job and a career.

I’m not sure how much you have had to deal with HR but they take alleged sexual conduct accusations very seriously.

This was never a criminal case which a threat would be defined as. But inappropriate behavior or comments in the workplace can bring suspensions and terminations.

And like I maintained through if this was just a bar hop in the hotel probably wouldn’t have been reported to HR and not applicable. Also if this had been anyone else without Irvin’s history not as publicly news.

Irvin has to live with his Rap sheet. And I’d advise if he’s going to be out late drinking to have an escort or entourage to protect himself because he doesn’t have many life lines left.

 

[MarcusRock]

Marriott let this drag out/......do you understand the courts set the timetable and not Marriott...lol

Are you not understanding what we were talking about? He's talking about Marriott initially a settlement because of bad PR when there was no settlement for 7 months up until the first day of the football season.

No, if you keep track, YOU responded to a response I made to ANOTHER POSTER highlighting the timing of the settlement with urgency on Irvin's side with the season starting today.

Again, YOU started this by responding to a post of mine by claiming Marriott had a case based solely on stuff Irvin's side claimed when the Marriott account was different. So you didn't even have the complete story starting out. When shown this, you're like, "but, but Marriott settled though" as if that meant anything about their prospects if it continued. When I mention timing then you're like, "but, but, judges let it continue so it means there was a case though." No one said frivolous. "Has a case" means prospects to be successful but nice to try to talk technicalities no one was addressing to cloud the fact you didn't know all the facts before opining. I'd be "done" too before that got highlighted.

Emotion from me? All I ever did was parse the facts we knew about the case when they were out there. Because they weren't looking good for Irvin and couldn't be refuted, people got mad because they were in the tank for Irvin, which is understandable on a Cowboys board, but then don't get on a soapbox talking about "getting to the truth" and then ignore facts about the case that were out there that don't look good for what you hope for. So that's why you and others are mad at me for pointing those out, just like y'all do when I tell the truth about controversial calls that happen in Cowboys games and beyond. When you can't overcome, just character assassinate hoping it clouds the fact that you avoided the good points made. Not my first rodeo, bro. But do tell me what was "proven" here.

And you were wrong. Absolutely wrong. Just admit it and move on.

 

[MarcusRock]

Second time asking: Do tell me what was "proven" here?

 

[zack]

I was told here he's guilty and would/should be punished

Where are they now

Second time asking: Do tell me what was "proven" here?

Irvin won a major lawsuit. It was "settled", meaning he was paid millions to not take it any further in court because it would have cost the accused even more. You were wrong. Admit it and move on.

Suspended only means no pay if NFL Media said that he wasn't getting paid. And, any player put on the commissioners exempt list gets paid.

I have a half sister who has cerebral palsy. I found out she was my sister when I was 13. I am her guardian now and my mom and her have a good relationship. It’s not all bad, as a family we made the best of it. I am an advocate for victims which is why my testimony from the night my friend was falsely accused was so impactful to the jury. If he was guilty I would’ve never been there.

I appreciate your integrity as well as your resolve. Stay strong my friend.

Link to the settlement details?

 

[Starforever]

Wow. When the accusations were present there was a vocal bunch. But that same bunch isn’t as vocal when this news comes out.

Quiet until the next witch hunt.

Actually the details of the settlement haven’t been disclosed .

The only thing we know for certain is he was reinstated by NFLN and Marriott agreed to dismiss their Motion and Michael his suit.

This doesn’t represent his innocence of making sexual inappropriate comments . It just makes it all go away and he gets his job back.

 

[diamonddelts]

Wow I wonder what the settlement is???

2 liters of Coke and a check.

 

[Starforever]

Marriott was keeping him from his job? That's who he was suing, not the NFL. Again, look at the timing of this. First day of the full football slate this gets announced which is what Irvin does for a living. The urgency was on Irvin's side, was it not? When it's YOU that needs something more than the other side then YOU would tend to make more concessions to get there, right? Just logic. Am I right?

Is that why Chris Jones suited up for the Chiefs?

 

[Reid1boys]

Suspended only means no pay if NFL Media said that he wasn't getting paid. And, any player put on the commissioners exempt list gets paid.

why do you think i said he was on commisioners exempt list... Mike was taken off air, not suspended. he got paid the whole time.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Now I'm not a huge fan of Irvin to begin with on air, he's too much of a homer and excuse maker for the Cowboys and Jerry Jones,

He’s hired to be a homer because Cowboys move the ratings, this is why Undisputed and First Take have the Cowboys as every other topic.

He won't. You can tell he is the type who can never stop talking and never admits being wrong.

 

[MarcusRock]

He won't. You can tell he is the type who can never stop talking and never admits being wrong.

Maybe you'll answer then. What was "proven" here that there are people who are right and wrong?
