In response of KEVIN's post. Your analysis of the law and situation could not be more flawed. First, ESPN Radio can lawfully fire/terminate him even if the allegations are not true. Second, your claim that they would not fire him unless they knew he was "guilty" is meritless. He is not being charged with a crime, he is being sued in "civil" court for money. In civil court you are not found "guilty" you are found "liable." And if the charges are true, why didn't the victim report it to the police? Why did she wait 3 years to file a civil lawsuit?
Who's Mike Carma? ;)
2007??? guess the phone at the station was busy

what does michael's problem or whatnot have to do with deon sanders? You're looking forward to the good ole days of NFL are you? This is 2010 not 1950..
somehow, you find a way to inject ignorance into everything.. why not fire steve mariucci also as well since he has as much to do with the supposed actions of michael as deon sanders?
you can take the man out of the ghetto BUT, you can't take the ghetto out of the man!
What a complete idiot this was, will be and is. How touching the Hall speech was tears and all giving thanks to his wife and family. My question to Michael would be why do you keep putting yourself in these types of situations? If they're not true then how come your name is always mixed up in it? Why would a married man be with this person anyway? Simple Michael...you are not a man of integrity or honesty. You might be a nice guy, but nice does not get you very far in this life. ESPN would not have fired him if they did not think he was guilty. In fact...that would be against the law.
The first three comments above are made my idiots.
The drug bust may or may not have been legit. However, the previous sexual allegation turned out to be false, and this one looks false also.
So stop judging the man guilty before charges have even by filed, you MORONS!
Go do some more coke you worthless piece of crap. Better yet just disappear altogether- you are an idiot.
Why does trouble follow this guy and he always, always, always has a story that says "I did not do this"...memba the time he got busted for drugs in the glove box and said "those were my cuz's who I took to ReHab, he left them there and I forgot about it"...
on and on with this guy...this is at least the second time hee's been accused of sexual assualt.
Stay away---stay far far away from this man.
Memba the days when Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann did that ESPN radio show with this goof? Those two liberals constantly defending him...thanks for the ongoing enbalement.
Keep him away from the public---please? No more ESPN chances for this weird deranged man. Of Course with their reputation he's perfect...Steve Phillips anyone?
Now only if he would get canned from the NFL network too. Might as well can Deion Sanders while they're at it.
Hang in there Mike carma will give her what she deserves!
