Michael Irvin calls Shapiro a "snake"

Former Miami star and NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin called disgraced Miami booster Nevin Shapiro a “snake” and a “rapist” in a radio interview.

Irvin was a guest on ESPN Radio Los Angeles, and began the interview by explaining his attacks on Shapiro on his own radio show in Miami. “I got personal,” Irvin said. “I called the guy a snake.”

Later in the interview, when the subject of Shapiro’s $930 million Ponzi scheme was addressed, Irvin said, “It doesn’t get any lower than this. You sit with people and you not only take money from these people, and you go here and you rape these kids of their future.”
Irvin said he still wants to wait and see the credibility in Shapiro’s claims of paying millions of dollars to 72 current and former Miami players, and players Miami was trying to recruit.

“We have to consider the source when we get stuff like this, and hope the NCAA does too,” Irvin said. “I had the guy on from Yahoo! today that did the article (Charles Robinson) and he was saying this guy says he doesn’t care. He wants to die. He has sixteen years of sin. I said anytime you run into someone who is suicidal you better believe they are homicidal. If they don’t care about their own life. They don’t care about anybody else’s life. Now if he is at place where he doesn’t want to die, then OK, what is he going to do? He’s going to reach up and bring down everybody. I’m not saying the things he said are not true. I am sure some of it is true, but in the middle of it I am going to blow it all up because let’s remember he always wanted to be big time.”
