Every time I see this weasel my skin crawls. Truly the poster child of the dismal slime that is ESPN. His commentary is always "I love the criminal" as expected. Mike the criminal, first it's prostitutes, now it's drugs. And the nasty little puke had to cheat to be good. There was one set of rules for Irvin (push, shove, grab, run out of bounds then back in, anything to give him an advantage) and the real NFL rules for everybody else

Gotta love ESPN they truly are a class act

lol. Also is just me or is SportsCenter getting more ghetto by the minute. Stuart Scott's ebonics just make me want to puke sometimes. BOO YAH. please give me a break

I listened to Dan Patrick's interview with Michael Irvin live this afternoon on ESPN radio. I hate to say it, but Irvin's story is quite plausible, after you hear the details and in-depth explanation of what happened.

Anecdotally, one of the callers to Colin Cowturd's show this morning compared the way Rush Limbaugh was treated for his remarks about Donovan McNabb and the media, and to how Irvin is being treated after having been found in possession of drug paraphernalia.

Interestingly, the only callers on the show who defended Irvin were two obviously black men and a white woman. The rest said that Irvin should be fired.

espn will probably give irvin a payraise

I also heard the Dan Patrick interview with Irvin. In my opinion, he is quite a story teller. He invites a druggie friend to his home for Thanksgiving. Since he is trying to help this person get straight and redeem his life, he decides to pat him down, searching for who knows what. He finds the pipe and takes it away from him, not wanting it in his home with guests and chidren. He doesn't get rid of it that evening but waits until the next day to throw it nto a dumpster. While taking his wife shopping , he gets pulled over for speeding and a cop finds the pipe in his vehicle. Irvin apparently forgot to toss it away. "Tthe pipes not mine officer, it belongs to someone else." Somehow, I just don't believe him.


One more thing. Patrick suggested taking a drug test to prove his innocence. Irving danced around the issue citing legal reasons.

Irvin is only doing what he's always done, and what ESPN has every
right to expect him to do. When you hire idiots that have no business
whatsoever being a "commenator," and have a history of being engaged in
criminal activities, then this is what you get. Irvin, like so many
other black "commentators," can't "comment" in any kind of intelligent
way. How can huge corporations like ESPN hire uneducated, Amos 'n
Andy-sounding fools like Irvin, Stephen A. Smith, Adrian Dantley, etc.,
when they aren't remotely capable of performing the one task they were
hired for? That is the bigger question.



Irvin will not be summarily dismissed from his job like Limbaugh was.
There is no way he will ever be convicted of anything. He is a black
celebrity, and in Don King's America, they are always above the law.

 

[White Shogun]

My question, if I had had the opportunity to ask him, would have been why he was bringing these drug-addicted friends of his around his kids in the first place.

Irvin's explanation was plausible enough, although like Bart said, he danced around the issue of drug testing, which would clear him easily enough. Maybe he would test clean for crack cocaine and positive for marijuana?

I think that's almost exactly what would happen. Not just for Irvin either. Let's just say ESPN had best not raise the issue.

 

[Overberserker]

Stuart Scott's ebonics just make me want to puke sometimes.

I used to think maybe his ebonics were used for entertainment purposes, like a later-day negro minstrel act, but it is becoming apparent this is actually how he really communicates!

He doesn't get rid of it that evening but waits until the next day to throw it nto a dumpster. While taking his wife shopping , he gets pulled over for speeding and a cop finds the pipe in his vehicle

What is it with NFL players and dumpsters this year??!? Remember those Vikings players were trying to throw some incriminating evidence in the dumpster and some televitz reporters observed them! Why didn't they use some of their six figure salary to purchase a paper-shredder or why didn't Irvin use some sort of mega-garbage compactor that he could hook up to his McMansion?!?!?!

 

[White Shogun]

Yeah, Irvin complained that people go through his garbage all the time. He said he shreds everything, too. I think his reasoning was that if he threw the pipe in the trash, someone would find it and exactly what happened, would happen - he would be accused of being on the pipe again.

Speaking of ebonics, did you see the stupid 'poetry jam' nonsense that Stuart Scott did during the pre-game? wtf is going on with sports these days? Do they really think all of us out here in 'NFL LAND' are interested in listening to this idiot read poetry?? Gimme a friggin' break!

 

[White Shogun]

Things are starting to fall apart in Irvin's story. Today's news, he has now given three different accounts about the pipe, who it belonged to and how it got in the car, and the police also found a baggie with marijuana residue in it.

I still don't think ESPN will cancel his contract though, regardless. He'll pay his $500 fine and be done with the matter.

 

[whiteCB]

Hey now let's lay off the weed here guys. There's nothin wrong with tokin but the crack had got to go along with Stuart Scott's damn poetry jam. I honestly can't even take watching sportscenter anymore.

We Humans can only hope and pray that ESPN's ratings are sinking,or at
least,drop like a rock in the Pacfic,every time viewers see Scott ,or
Smith,or any other similar racist ,brainless a-holes hosting any
show.

 

[White_Savage]

My only comment is that I don't believe our glorious gubment and their gestapo should be allowed to harass anyone for the crap they voluntarily put in their bodies-even Negros. That's just inhumane. All such activities are ruinous-they tried to ban the glorious nectar of the Gods we Europeanoids have quaffed for millenia during Prohibition-remember how well THAT went? No prohibitionism, let evolution run its course. If anyone objects on the basis of societal negatives, I guarantee you it'll hurt Blacks worse than it hurts us.

ESPN the magazine gives away ESPN's secret. The mag is gay porno, and I have no doubt that its organization at some level is run like a cult for homosexuals. If running cover photos of shirtless black athletes 90 % time is not gay then I'm the pope.

"I feel bad for T.O. It's not right. Just because a guy won't say he's sorry, he's out of the game of football for the season," Sanders said. "It's like someone working a job 9 to 5 and they don't apologize to their boss, they're fired. There are so many things that I don't like about it. A man should be able to work and make an honest living and do what he loves to do.

Irvin, a modern day Gary Miller.

 

[surfsider]

Whenever one of these black miscreants gets busted they and the usual suspects begin braying about "having made a mistake" and that everyone deserves a second chance(regardless of how many times they've behaved feloniously). I saw a bit of a Outside The Lines (I was at the gym and it was the only thing on) and Todd Bozeman was whining about his mistake(giving a recruits family $30,000...oops! my bad) and not being given a college coaching job. The audacity is galling but at least Jay Bilas made the point when he said after Bozeman's spiel, "a mistake is wearing brown shoes with a blue suit".

 

[whiteCB]

Wile, you have got a point there. You have definitly got a point.

Who's Gary Miller?? The band leader

 

[Don Wassall]

If he's referring toGary Miller the ESPN announcer, he made headlines after beingbusted forurinating from the second floor of a club onto the street below. Hardly in the same class with Mr. Irvin's antics.

When you gotta go.....you gotta go. I wonder if he was just trying to write his name in the snow.

Is Gary Miller white?

So let me get this straight.

No fan of small government and individual Liberty here is even slightly appalled by the fact that a person can be summarily arrested and imprisoned, also have their rightful property and money stolen WITHOUT actually being convicted of anything, all for possessing a piece of glass gubement dissaproves of? Even if that person is a rather dis-likeable *******?

Don't get me wrong. I'm no fan of the drug culture, I don't smoke and I rarely take any alcohol. I long ago noticed that heavy pot smokers (both white and black) who try to put on gloves and play around with me have reflexes so slow I can hit'em twice before they blink. So I realized I don't need any of that stuff. But really, a feral gubment that can bust down your door because the boob across the street mistakes your hydrangias for weed is by far the greater evil.

Sure I'm slightly appalled, and I'm also appalled that the government taxes me at a rate that would have cost the head of any king in the middle ages. I'm appalled at welfare, socialism, social security, all of it. But face it, that stuff is not going anywhere anytime soon.

So I'll pick and choose my battles. Since I don't use drugs the drug war will not effect me. When the government wages its drug war who does it usually catch? Black males, many of them with the ability to make my life a lot worse if they are out on the street then if they are behind bars. So......arrest freely.

When you get ready to install that pure libertarian society I will gladly join in the anti-drug campaign, give me a call.

 

[White_Savage]

"Since I don't use drugs the drug war will not effect me"

Hmmm...sorry friend, but that's a bad road to go down.

"Since I don't hunt, gun control won't affect me."

"Since I'm not a racist, "hate speech" laws won't affect me."

"Since I'm not a terrorist, the (un)Patriot Act won't affect me."

It's not just negros and hop-heads who get hurt by the Drug War, anymore than it was only Italians and speak-easy customers during Prohibition
