A second judge has ordered Marriott to release video of the incident that got Dallas Cowboys legend and NFL Network star Michael Irvin kicked out of a hotel in Phoenix during Super Bowl week. On 105.3 The Fan in Dallas Friday morning, Shan and RJ said they had reason to believe that Irvin was optimistic about what that video will show.
“We’re not gonna divulge too much, but out of the blue yesterday, Michael texted Choppy and I,” Shan Shariff said. “I think it’s safe to say Michael is feeling good about his position.”
Shariff added that Marriott’s position has never made sense to him. If the company felt like Irvin needed to be ejected from their property, why would it not want video of the incident to be made public?
He added that when the story first broke, he was worried that the truth was going to be very bad for Michael Irvin.
“At first when I was talking to Michael in Phoenix when all of this broke, he was worried,” he said. “And it made me worry and wonder if Mike was buzzed to the point he didn’t remember what happened or he was foggy. You know, he came on the air with us Wednesday morning and was joking about having some drinks.”
Michael Irvin has never run from the fact that he had too much to drink on the night of the incident and did not remember harassing anyone. He also has said that he was positive that he did not even spend a minute with the woman making the accusation and video would show that.
The first judge to order Marriott make the video public issued his ruling on February 16. Marriott appealed. That appeal was lost earlier this week.
“Now it looks like the Marriott is terrified to have the video come out,” Shariff said.
