The NFL Network and ESPN will owe Michael Irvin a big apology if it comes out that he did nothing wrong and was falsely accused.
There is a rush to judgment, and you are considered guilty before evidence comes out.
Once witnesses and video evidence came forward, it appeared that Irvin was done wrong, and I hope Irvin gets all his money.
It looks like the judge is on Irvin’s side via TMZ Sports.
Michael Irvin just scored a win in court … a judge has ordered that an Arizona hotel now must turn over any video it has of an interaction the Hall of Famer had with a woman that ultimately led to his removal from NFL Network’s Super Bowl coverage last week.
Irvin’s attorney Levi McCathern had requested the footage from the Phoenix Marriott in a motion filed on Thursday morning, believing it will help exonerate the NFL legend, who had been accused of wrongdoing while he was in Arizona to report on SB LVII for the league’s TV station.
On Thursday afternoon, a judge granted the motion … saying the clips must be sent to Irvin by Feb. 20.
The judge also ordered that the hotel must provide the name of Irvin’s accuser … as well as anyone else who may have filed a complaint against the former football player. In the order, the judge also ruled the hotel must reveal the names of the NFL employees who received the complaints.
In the motion, Irvin’s attorney made it clear he believes all of it will help show the ex-Dallas Cowboys wide receiver did nothing wrong when he interacted with a female hotel worker on Feb. 5.
According to the docs, Irvin only met the woman after she had called him over in the hotel lobby to introduce herself … and “eyewitnesses described the interaction as ‘jovial’ and completely harmless.” Irvin’s attorney wrote in the motion that the interaction lasted less than a minute, and Michael then went to his room alone and fell asleep.
The Marriott is sweating bullets because they have not responded to the lawsuit.
