Another woman filed lawsuit against another NFL player, seeking $1 million because of a rape happened two years ago. As expected, the lawyer for the player claimed that it was another story of extorting big money from sports figures.
This time the player getting involved is former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin. A Florida woman filed a lawsuit against him Thursday, claiming that Irvin and another man raped her more than two years ago.
The lawsuit claims that a woman referred to as Jane Doe met Irvin and another man at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on July 4, 2007 and Irvin bought her drinks. The two men then raped her in Irvin’s hotel room, according to the suit.
Working as an analyst for NFL Network after officially taking off his NFL jersey, Irvin could not expect what would happen today when he was enjoying the amorous meet. Something may indeed happen, but calling it a rape more than two years later and asking for compensation just sounds unreasonable. No wonder Irvin’s lawyer called it extortion, the price one has to pay for fame day.

Hall of Fame WR considered it is better for Favre to retire than come back
We have talked about Brett Favre's possible coming back a lot. Finally someone standed out and suggest Favre to stop all of these retire-and-back plays. During the time he was making the rounds promoting his new reality TV series "4th and Long", Hall of Fame WR Michael Irvin said that it was time for Favre to retire for good. He told the Los Angeles Times:
"This is what's killing everybody. Every time Favre says, 'I want to come back,' it's like everybody on ESPN says, 'Whatever team he says he wants to come to, he makes them automatically a Super Bowl contender.'
"They said that same stuff last year with the Jets, and Favre gave out toward the end of the season."
Irvin admitted that Favre has the talent for football, but if he comes back to play against the Packers, he would hurt a lot of fans who used to support him for long.
