Well, at presstime, another woman has accused Michael Irvin of rape.
Irvin has the following incidents on his record:
- March 1996: cocaine possession at a hotel party celebrating his 30th birthday. Irvin showing up to court in a full-length mink coat. He pled no contest to the charges and was sentenced to community service, ordered to pay a $10,000 fine, and put on 4-years probation. My favorite part of the whole disgusting mess: Irvin asking an arresting cop "Do you know who I am?"
- 1998: Irvin allegedly inflicted a two-inch cut in the neck of Dallas guard Everett McIver. McIver did not press charges, and rumors swirled that Irvin brokered a six-figure settlement with McIver to drop the matter. Accounts of this incident after the alleged settlement became difficult to find or research in the local Dallas press.
- 2000: Irvin was arrested on drug possession charges.In this case, Irvin was in a Dallas apartment with an unrelated woman. Police entered the apartment forcibly and found drugs. Irvin and the female were placed under arrest, though charges against Irvin were later dropped.
- 2005: Irvin was pulled over in Plano, Texas, for speeding Irvin was arrested on an outstanding warrant on an unpaid speeding ticket in Irving, Texas, and also cited for misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after police searched his car and found a marijuana pipe and plastic bags with marijuana residue.
- 2010: Irvin was sued by an unnamed woman for an alleged rape that took place in 2007. The incident was reported to Seminole tribal police on July 20, 2007, but the woman later signed a waiver of prosecution. Now WHY would she do THAT? Perhaps as time goes on, we'll find out. More likely, all lawsuits will be dropped and no more will be heard.
What makes me ill about this is that this person is obviously a slime. Enough cocaine, hash pipes, and topless dancers in hotel rooms while your wife and kids are waiting at home will do that to a person. Yet, ESPN continues to pay him for his insight. Additionally, he has appeared on Dancing With the Stars, the regrettable remake of The Longest Yard, Burn Notice, various throwaway reality TV shows, and a regular gig on the NFL Network.
In these days of massive unemployment, and good, decent people struggling because of corporate incompetence and governmental bailouts paid for by taxpayers, it really makes me sick that people like Michael Irvin get paid big bucks while living a depraved lifestyle that involves lots of arrests and mysteriously dropped charges. This dude needs to drop from sight. Anyone paying him for entertainment purposes needs to be boycotted, and to be told why.
Not that it will make a difference or anything.

I'm calling BS on the rape. It was either concentual, or completely made up. I mean, she reported it to tribal police.
