Michael Irving in trouble again

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I know Irvin?

Boy...we'll all fucked up

I caught it in time.

Alright I told you it was a long story...

So how does a guy who grew up going to church and never spent a night in jail come home to find a crackhead hiding under his couch?

From 1995 to 2005 I lived in Independence, MO. Fellow Chiefs fans will know this is a suburb of KC that for some time was touted as the meth capital of America. My churchy parents lived just outside St. Louis and my significantly more relaxed aunt and uncle lived in Independence. I try to stay close to family so of course I took the path of least resistance.

My cousin was a gifted student in high school but totally diverged from that and seemed more comfortable living on the slightly wilder side. He became more of a friend more than a relative over time and we went to rock concerts, he hooked me up with weed and just generally helped me experience my 20s in a way that I never would have on my own.

Sooo in 1999 I got my first apartment and he would come over with his various friends and it was really just a place to party and I thought it was great. As time went on I said dude you might as well just crash here, just try to keep it quiet after midnight(I worked nights).

After awhile I started noticing a short shady-looking young person hanging around outside my apartment when I came home from work. I mentioned that to my cousin one time and my cousin told me his name was Smokey and he had a crack problem. My cousin is the type who would talk to anybody so I didn't really think much of it.

One morning I come back from work and sat down in the living room on the $200 futon that my cousin stole from a local department store. It was a questionable issue but this poor guy in his 20s didn't have the willpower to argue about that detail.

I'm sitting there downing beers and just bullshitting with my cousin and I hear something inexplicable from under the futon. At first I was too lazy to look under the futon but curiosity kept building and I finally leaned over and looked under the couch.

There was Smokey, looking right back at me with really big whites in his eyes. I'm not a big guy but my cousin knew I had a line you don't cross and in a weird move, he started crying as I yanked the futon away from the wall to expose this uninvited guest.

After helping Smokey to the door and telling him not to come back, I turned to my cousin who had just spent the past 30 minutes talking to me knowing full well his crackhead buddy was hiding under the couch. I told him to grab his shit and get out the door too.

EPILOGUE
Time went on and I eventually moved away from KC, some of this coinciding with the decline of the Chiefs in the 2000's, and over time I forgave my cousin and we still text and do some online gaming every once in awhile. And years later I still had random friends of friends getting great enjoyment out of asking me about the time I found a crackhead under my couch.

So sad. Did Smokey ever get help?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

But what's his contract and earning potential the next 15 years? This incident could hurt him if he's off TV because of it.

Yeah, guessing that figure is based on potential lost income. Probably just a scare tactic to get her to shut up, though

 

[Pure Steel]

He ended up playing Bubbles on The Wire......

 

[DJ]

Who is Michael Irving?

 

[RememberTheKoy]

Then why did he lie about ever talking to the woman? He also, foolishly, admitted to being drunk.

Irvin is a lifelong piece of shit. Pretty easy to believe his did piece of shit things.

What the fuck could he have said that could justify this from her?

That's hilarious.

What did she do other than complain to hotel management? If he did say something lewd, which would not be surprising in any way considering he's a known crackhead, she had every right to complain.

Not sure what you're defending here.

He just hates women. He hates them even more if they have the audacity to stand up for themselves. It’s why he’s a lonely 40 year old virgin.

also a perfect target for a gold digger to think easy pickings.

I still havent heard one way or the other what actually was said or done.
Sounds like a lot of nothing until I hear something different.

 

[Wazmankg]

I always considered him the underrated one, if anything, of their 3 "triplets". He rarely lead the league in anything because they were so damn good and balanced offensively. But he was a hell of a receiver.

I agree for the most part that it's a nothing burger since at the absolute worst it was seemingly just words. It is, however, not hard to believe in any way that Irvin said something out of line. He has a history of being a piece of shit. If he did say something out of line then the woman had every right to tattle on him to management and not be labeled a gold digger. Not sure how she can catapult it into money anyway if it ended at a handshake. How hotel management handled it is an entirely different story.

The fact is Irvin either lied about never talking to her or was super shitfaced that he couldn't remember the conversation which means the woman gets the benefit of the doubt.

Again I am just waiting to hear more. Before calling out either. The lady or Irvin.
Cancelling people for stupid shit needs to be slapped in the face.
Just waiting to hear if it is stupid or not.

She obviously reached out to the NFL Network too.

What did he possibly do except hit on her? That's bad enough to ruin someone's reputation? Get over yourself.

According to what I've read it was the hotel management that reached out to his bosses, not the girl. And again, if he did hit on her in an unprofessional manner she had every right to bitch to her boss about it. Are you denying that? It's Irvin's bosses that are fucking him over, not the chick unless she truly is lying. But he did lie when he said he didn't talk to her and then said he was drunk when shown evidence of his lie.

Irvin has a history of douchebagginess including sexual assault accusations. Imagining him asking this chick for a blowjob doesn't seem very far out of the realm of possibilities.

He wasn't on the clock. He wasn't working. She and that hotel have no right to reach out to his work if he hit on her and she wasn't interested. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

She had the right to tell her boss if she deemed it inappropriate. How her boss handled it as well as Irvin's bosses is an entirely different story because unless he touched her inappropriately, which it appears he didn't, it was no big deal. But if he asked for a BJ or something of the sort she had every right to rat him out to her boss for being a dickhead.

This is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but assuming she's telling the truth, you're victim shaming right now.

 

[Iggloo]

Michael Irvin: A Cowboy crackhead from back when Cowboys crackheads could actually play. Now you just have losers like CB Kelvin Joseph, recently in the car with a gunman who shot and killed someone outside a bar, who aren't even real ballers, just thugs.

Her boss? Did she work for the hotel? I haven't seen this anywhere.


She's no fucking victim over being hit in.

I read that she works for the hotel. Strange that details remain cloudy so I cannot confirm with certainty but I did read that.
