Though the civil lawsuit against Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin will proceed, Irvin need not worry about going to jail.
According to the Associated Press, prosecutors in South Florida will not file criminal charges against Irvin.
The woman claims that the sexual assault occurred at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Irvin responded to the lawsuit by filing a lawsuit of his own against his accuser in Dallas. He seeks $100 million in damages.
The legal entanglement has not affected Irvin’s employment with NFL Network. However, he was fired from his weekday show on ESPN Radio in Dallas the day after the suit was filed.
We were told at the time that ESPN Radio had planned to tell Irvin the Monday after the Super Bowl that the show would be canceled.
Irvin spent 11 years with the Cowboys. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August 2007, less than a month after the alleged rape occurred.
Stay classy playmaker!
I guess money can buy your way out of crimes…
He’s still garbage and should have been hit harder in his last game versus the Eagles…
I’m not a Mike Irvin fan by any stretch of the imagination but it’s a positive note that he got away with rape.
its funny how next to the login page, to the right it says “Vox”
hahaha
You know who else won’t face criminal rape charges? People who didn’t rape somebody.
This scumbag has avoided prison for cocaine, hookers and stabbing someone in the neck with scissors, and those are just the crimes I can list off the top of my head. Why should we be surprised that he doesn’t have to worry about jailtime for raping someone?

Lmfao! Couldnt have been said any better! Oh shit thats good stuff!!
hey vox hop to it
clean – up on aisle 3-34*
Damn….I was hoping he was going to prison. I can’t stand him
Too bad, he could have shared a jail cell with Goodrich. Cowboys past and present are the world’s biggest scum bags with the exception of staubach.
Only in the “NFL world” is behavior like this acceptable, and would still be allowed to make an income…..
If the glove does not fit, must acquit…..
I never could stand this guy, but it seems to me he is the victim on this one.
Just cause he’s a d-bag and had problems w/drugs doesn’t mean he’s a rapist.
Lawsuits resulting around alleged crimes without police charges, should be dismissed.
Michael is a moron, not as huge of a moron as Deion, but he’s still a moron, but this cunt is trying to shake him down.
The Plea-Maker dodges another one.
Nice work Mike.
I wonder how much crime Irvin has gotten away with in his life. Rape, stabbing with scissors, cocaine. Probably 10,000 years in prison worth of crime if he got convicted for all that he has done.
Class act.
Yeah I sure the woman is totally innocent. $$$$$$$
When are these guys going to learn there are some very predatory women out there. Men don’t hold an exclusive on being assholes.
But he’s unlikeable, and therefore automiatically guilty. He should be behind bars.
If only he was as well thought of as that scholar-athlete and gentleman Big Ben.
Then I would not want to call Irvin the RapeMaker.
Typical Cowboy.
Mooch: The guy’s a POS, and has been for a long time.
Yes, he’s “unlikeable”, an unlikeable, crackhead, POS.
First off if he did it. It was not done in the state of Fl.
The Hard Rock is not even in the USA. It belongs to an Indian Nation and is trible land.
I do not understand how the women can even file charges in the US for a crime commited on that land.
How bout’ that Cowboy!
Vox, drop the D and D dice. You have been paged.
He rapes a woman and then sues her for $100M. What is this GTA, Michael Irvin Edition?
Hey, I clapped when Irvin got lit up at the Vet.
But I don’t like double standards. The immediate assumption was that he was guilty, despite the all-too-familiar storyline of this story.
Or maybe I just wanted to promote my new nickname for Irvin…it made me giggle.
OK so let me understand.
Irvin is not being charged for rape but will probably pay a big dollar in the cival case, right?
Now does this remind you of Kobe Bryants rape case or what.
Luckly for these guys they are not married or we could have some more bad acting (Tiger) telling us “I’m sorry’
Money can buy you what you want.
cowboy players are the lowest form of life besides their fans. The world would be a better place without the franchise and their inbred fans.
Another typical well-mannered, upstanding citizen produced by the Cowboys.
Irvin didn’t rape Vox, Vox was asking for it, begging is a more accurate description.
Once a thug always a thug.
He didn’t face criminal charges for stabbing a guy in the neck w/ a pair of scissors either.
Maybe he should of done the crime in Canada, that way he would be tried under sexual assault level 2, his weapon is his ego. Whether he damaged her with it or not would determine a level 3 rating.
@bigblue….what the hell is trible land?? Like star trek tribbles???
So I take it Irvin alleges the accusation is false?
Well, given how Irvin was dressed and the amount of bling, if you ask me he was asking for it.
Stab a dude with scissors, snort cocaine, beat up hookers and now rape a chick……..what a role model and what a dickhead. Someday he’s gonna meet his maker becuz of his bullchit and I can’t wait.
Where’s your crack pipe?
True representation of Dallas.
It may interest diehardskinsfan21 that when we here in the DFW area take a dump and flush, it ends up at FedEx field. By the way, if there were no Cowboy franchise, what would Little Danni Snyder look up to, other than the urnal. Talk about pathetic losers and fans, you should talk about the Foreskins…..hell, there are more Cowboy fans in DC than in any other part of the country, outside of Texas
Vox? Vox!?
Irvin got your tongue?
1. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
2. DA’s don’t just drop cases for fun. They refuse to prosecute cases that don’t have legal footing (evidence/witness testimony…etc).
3. Let the law go its course and then feel free to weigh in. I doubt the FL DA just said, “oh no big deal, he used to be a cowboy…”
4. Just because he’s an idiot, didn’t mean he raped anyone. Most of you idiots have probably made it through life w/o raping anyone…yet…
Who needs all that due process crap, right whiteocelot?
“Too bad, he could have shared a jail cell with Goodrich. Cowboys past and present are the world’s biggest scum bags with the exception of staubach.”
Say, aren’t you the guy that said that he’d enjoy seeing Jerry Jones hanged?
“Maybe he should of done the crime in Canada”
Maybe you “should of” studied English in England, surrender bunny.
“Stab a dude with scissors, snort cocaine, beat up hookers and now rape a chick……..what a role model and what a dickhead. Someday he’s gonna meet his maker becuz of his bullchit and I can’t wait.”
Well why don’t you go try to kill him yourself if it means that much to you, big guy?
Chicken?

ooooh it’s the devil! “drk666″ hahaha dorkass.
Rape just has such a negative tone to it. Florio, from now on I demand you call it “surprise sex.”
Also, it’s amazing how the criminal charges are being dropped (no moneys) but the civil case will pursued (lots of moneys!!!!) I have no love for Irvin, but this is a story seen faaaaaaaaarrrrr too often with pro athletes. Stars accused of something they can’t prove they didn’t do by women who ultimately only want money.
“Seminole Hard Rock Hotel”
you are what you are lol

Enough said.
NEXT!

Obviously the chick is LYING!!!
Otherwise why would the DA not press charges?
Get over your jealousy and hatred and admit that she was trying to shake him down and frame him.
The truth came out and thats all there is to it!
He’s innocnet so move on, nothing to see here.
haters
I find it odd how Fat Ben is preceived innocent while Irvin is preceived guilty. I have some theories but I will leave them to the imagination…
@ Chapstick,
Dallas = Thug Nation
Pittsburgh = Not Thug Nation
Quite simple, when you sit down and add up all the felons and convictions that have passed thru Big D!
You stay Classy, Dallas Cowboys Organization!
@ rickah
What Pittsburgh are you referring to and which Dallas? I am not aware of any thugs on Dallas’s roster and you can’t try to use PacMan because at his first sign of crap they cut him.
“Pittsburgh = Not Thug Nation”
Right. PGH is steroid nation. Philly is lowbrow nation.
Cowboys are known for being racist inbred rednecks. Be proud Cowboy fans. Be proud.
“What Pittsburgh are you referring to and which Dallas? I am not aware of any thugs on Dallas’s roster and you can’t try to use PacMan because at his first sign of crap they cut him.”
James Harrison, on the other hand…
Michael Irvin doesnt need to rape women. He’s Michael Irvin however, when he’s doing crack rock he’s a crackhead. Michael’s going down the same road as Rick James and look what happend to Rick.
Cmon @Chap, use grown up thought process for this… Irvin has had plenty of reason for people to think this is for real, all the drug use, violence, etc.. All Ben’s had is stupidity for not wearing a motorcycle helmet.
@ count
Just because you narrowmindedly think Dallas is full if inbred racists doesn’t make it correct. In fact the simple statement that you made proves you to not only be ignorant but likely also racist as well.
@ ham
Rothelisberger is a fat terd…. I really have nothing else to say that supports me lol Other than as Vox points out James Harrison did have his child attacked by his “pet” pitt-bull
“Right. PGH is steroid nation. Philly is lowbrow nation.”
Pay attention. This is how a troll reacts when one of his flawed heroes exposes yet another one of his flaws.

You do know that Gerald Sensabaugh is your safety, right?
@ toe
And how is he a thug? Has he done anything illegal lately? The only thing he is guilty of is getting burned in the playoffs.
Lets run a poll and see how many NFL’ers have “pitt”-bulls.. I’d say about 85% and I’m sure there’s a lot of unreported incidents that go on w/ that too. Now for sheer ridiculousness of team criminals and arrests, the Cowgirls since the 70′s and the Bungles since the early 90′s take the cake.. Pot, meet kettle, or should I say Vox meet Chappy……….. LOLZ

@ toe
So you are getting mad at a guy with traffic violations and owning registered weapons? I don’t get it.
@ham
Again, if you are going to use the 70′s to bash the Cowboys and early 90′s then I will envoke the Superbowl history to show the teams greatness…
“So you are getting mad at a guy with traffic violations and owning registered weapons? I don’t get it.”
You don’t get lots of things. James Harrison is a thug for owning a pit bull, but Sensabaugh is not a thug for being pulled over for a traffic violation and having multiple weapons found in his possession, one of which is an AK-47?
Texas morals confuse me.
@Chap: 6 Lombardi’s > 5 Lombardi’s (not to mention not even close in 13 years for the Cowboys)… That’s about all the Superbowl history and greatness that you need to be worried about! But Dallas probably has more arrests in that span of time too…so you win there!
Forget the Bengals these guys are hardcore criminals

Look at Voxy, spinning his wheels because he’s got absolutely no footing on this argument.
And don’t try to argue gun laws with Texans, toe-to-toe. They actually believe our founding fathers wanted us all to have assault rifles and gatling guns. But dogs belonging to an aggressive breed? No way, too dangerous!
Yeah, yeah, yeah? Like the baltimore felons don’t hire criminals? Their leader murdered a guy and got away with it? They just hired another criminal that nobody else wanted? And just for you nfl haters (and I’m with you) it doesn’t stop there? I guess the saviour of the nba Kobe bryant didn’t butt rape that girl either? Not to mention that there are more babies born out of wedlock to illegitimate parents in the nba than any other sport on earth? Or how about the guy (name withheld) who was on the redskins team that got shot in his own house with supposedly his wife watching but was a card carrying drug trafficker and then the redskins made him out to be the messiah himself? Say what you will about other sports but do you really see this in nascar or the pba (pro bowling) or professional soccer or even professional hockey? But wait!! Coming soon to sports fans everywhere!! More controversy over the tigger woods sex tapes? Case in point you can’t keep the pga out of this either? At the expense of being called a racist there’s a pattern here? Look closely for yourself????
if the alleged assault was commited on a reservation wouldn’t the DA have to drop the charges? the counter suit makes me wonder if the ‘alleged victim’ just might have her own money what say y’all?
@Jake/untouchable: Caps lock isn’t your friend. Stop yelling and make some sense. That nutbag that accused Ben has only made herself look completely insane over this bogus charge.. Last info that was out there was that Ben’s attorneys gave her a “graceful exit” from any further legal recourse against her and that she then sued her place of work for some dumbass reason. She dropped that suit like a hot potato and lost friends, her job, her dignity.. needless to say that’s not an issue any longer. She was also under psychiatric care for a relationship with a fictional solider serving in Iraq… Had nothign to do w/ black or white, but maybe because Michael had a previous run in with the law it was easier to blame him……..
Once again we bow and scrape at the alter of the NFL and dirt bag gets away with a crime. When, Lord, when is this nation going to turn away from the idolatry of professional athletes and begin to prosecute those who commit crimes to the fullest extent of the law? Yet another rapist walks free because we can’t bring ourselve to try and convict a pro athlete, especially if they’re from the NFL. It makes me sick.
As an NFL hall of Famer where’s the outrage over this act by media.Tiger has consenual sex with willing participants and the media act like papparatsy.Tiger a guy who has never been in trouble with law is hounded and a coke smoking English language challenged ex-jock gets a free pass.Media has no scruples.
Well I don’t know much about the man but I do question why if this women was raped why did she wait so long to complain about it.There are women who are really raped out there and this women suddenly says she was raped after nearly three years what was she waiting for ?I am a women and I completly simpithys when a women is raped.But something tells me this women is after money .To wait this long is a little hinky to me .And if she is a liar then she is making it hard for the women who really raped.They can’t even do anything to him after all this time there is know proof,oh unless she was so upset that she saved some of the fluids and has all those thing .You know like that women that saved the dress with President Clintons leftovers on it .Another fine example of a women of class.
OH ITS A BLACK THING NOW….RACIALLY MOTIVATED…..LETS NOT GO THERE…..THIS COUNTRY IS PLAGUED WITH SCUM LIKE IRVIN…HE IS JUST ANOTHER NWM! I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO SHUT DOWN THE NFL….
IT WOULD INCREASE THE PRISON POPULATION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY..I THINK THEY ARE BRED THAT WAY?
@linda
The alleged rape occurred on July, 4, 2007. The woman reported it to the police on July 20, 2007.

Ok but really @purplepuzzyeatrz needs to gtfo of PFT. We should all agree on this.
