stevewin Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Never understood how he got his broadcasting gig...I can think of 10 other players that would make better on-air analysts starting with Leodis McKelvin. And Leodis would have a snappy catchphrase he would emphatically proclaim after making each point - "Point. Blank. Period!" Eventually 'Point. Blank. Period!" would become its own show on FS1, in the coveted time slot following UNDISPUTED. His co host would be Dennis Rodman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Why? He's not once admitted to/been convicted for sexual assault. Confusing to me that you don't find this surprising. UNLESS .... you're like me and you think that every rich entertainer in the U.S. is vulnerable to accusations like this being made and it doesn't surprise you that it's happened yet again. I'd be surprised if this woman isn't lying. That seems to be the end result, more often than not. Not surprising because the guy is a scumbag As do I, the guy is dumb as hell. I think I rather listen to Joe Buck for 3 hours than him. He follows what a lot of on air personalities do that seem to make them popular. That is, no matter what you are saying, say it with extreme emphasis and be louder than that guy who just got finished talking was.

Not Applicable Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Again ... why? He's had drug problems, he's not that bright, he's loud and he's obnoxious. How does that make him a potential rapist, or one whom "you could see doing that?" That's like saying, "I bet Scott Hamilton is gay because he's a figure skater and talks like a queer." He's been accused of sexual assault two other times. That's why people could see him doing that. Edited March 29, 2017 by Patrick Fitzryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if this woman isn't lying. That seems to be the end result, more often than not. The woman being a liar tends to always be the case when the accused is rich and/or famous. Accuse a poor guy of any of this and he's sent away without any further questions. It's actually quite simple. Great lawyers can take people a long ways in life. I have no idea if Irvin is guilty or not. Only the good lord knows. With that said, I guarantee he'll be innocent in the eye of the law. On another note I see your point about the rich and famous bring targets for theses types of accusations. That still doesn't explain the stupidity and in real cases of sexual assault the mental instability of so many pro athletes. Doesn't it just seem like these accusations "target" pro athletes more often than other rich and famous men? Think of all the chaos rock stars used to create in cities across the world. Somehow other celebs aren't accused of rape nearly as often as athletes. The culture in pro sports; and the culture many of these guys grew up in has zero respect for women. I have many thoughts on why this is the case, but my manifesto on that topic would be far to long to bore this board with.

H2o Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 yeah look who got elected to the most scrutinized public office? The wonders do not cease! This world is changing in a way that is NOT pretty. In this particular situation, before the case can be cleared, all three things are possible 1) Irvin drugged and raped her. 2) the woman is a gold digger 3) she got too drunk blacked out and can't remember the previous night. So I WITHHOLD JUDGEMENT. I'm not saying he's Darren Sharper, I'm saying it's amazing he has a job after everything that has taken place already.

Especially as another poster pointed out this as being the third time he's been accused of such crimes. I rarely rush to judgement against someone who has been accused of a crime. However, when you get accused of the same crime three times there is probably something to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irvin was a scumbag who has since preached (literally) about how he has changed his ways. So, if guilty Irvin is 1,000,000X's the scumbag as most other human beings Kaepernick included.

ajmac Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Time will tell. Not sure what to think when these reports come out. I am not sticking my foot in my mouth here until we know what the truth is. Now, I will say this...I do not like Irvin at all. Arrogant and uninformed as a commentator IMO. Too loud and brash, always acting like an unintelligent bully trying to boast himself as the best thing since sliced bread. I was never buying that. A good receiver in his day yes, but that is where the talent ended in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way, but from what I gathered she went back to the hotel with him willingly. Generally you don't go to a hotel room with someone of the opposite sex after a night at the bar just to hang out. She had to be cognizant of the fact that he was looking for some action. Now there were many times I woke up after a bender and had trouble remembering portions of the previous night, but I've always attributed it to the booze, not necessarily being drugged.

KD in CA Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Lets break this down. 1. You hope Irvin raped that girl, "but not for her sake"??? - Not for her sake? Glad you cleared that up. For whose sake then do you wish that a girl got raped? Oh, your own. 2. "never wish that on someone" - except for the time that you just did wish someone was raped so that your TV viewing experience can be incrementally better. 3. A celebrity accused of rape will definitely just disappear from the public eye. No way there will be a circus surrounding this and 24/7coverage of Irvin. 4. How many rapes do you wish to get The View cancelled? Never forget. Jauronimo is like the Tosh.0 of this board. Thanks for always bring the wood.
