Michael Irvin calmly chats with gunman about Cowboys
DALLAS Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin says he calmly chatted with a gunman in another vehicle after the armed passenger turned out to be a Dallas Cowboys fan.
Irvin, who was not harmed, says he was "very afraid."
A Dallas police report says Irvin was stopped at a red light Monday night when two men in a truck pulled up next to him.
The driver rolled down his window, so Irvin did the same, thinking the two men recognized the radio talk show host and television commentator.
The passenger flashed a gun. Then the retired NFL star heard one of them call out his name and mentioned being a "huge Cowboy fan."
Irvin says he began talking with the men about the team's disappointing 9-7 season and Dallas not making it to the Super Bowl.
The pair eventually drove off.

If the only corroboration of this “story” is Michael Irvin’s word, then I rank it right under UFO stories and eyewitness accounts of Yetis on the believability scale. The only part of the story that rings true is that a Cowboy fan attempted to commit a felony. Too bad this alleged “incident” didn’t happen in Philly.
How in the world is this news of any kind? One criminal chatting with another criminal—not really newsworthy. Also find it interesting how the same guy that stabbed a teammate in the neck with a pair of scissors was ‘very afraid’ when he saw ‘the gunman’.
