I heard about this on ESPN Radio this morning. Crazy stuff.
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 in North Dallas 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 mention being a "huge Cowboy fan."
"The passenger pulled out a semiautomatic and I knew what time it was," Irvin told The Dallas Morning News. "But he said, 'Oh, that's Michael Irvin, with the Dallas Cowboys.'"
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.
"So we started talking about the Cowboys and everything," Irvin said in the Morning News. "Then they got back on the highway."
The pair eventually drove off.
"I tell you what, I'm glad he was a Cowboy fan," Irvin told the Morning News.

Has to be a lie. If he were a real Cowboys fan, he would have started firing.
Maybe if it was Tony Romo instead.
or Jerry Jones
No, if it was Romo in January it would have been a misfire.
that and Irvin would have put down his crack pipe and fired back
Too bad we don't have an emoticon of a smiley face on a drum set doing the snare and cymbal crash because I would totally use it right now.
Instead you get this![]()
Those gang members were ing stupid though. I mean, let's just use hypotheticals here and say I was in a gang, and I have that gang mentality where I have to sell drugs, steal valuables and money from innocent people, and maybe kick some ass, deliver a beatdown or two, or just straight up kill some mother ers to move up in the gang ranks... and I have Michael Irvin pulled over... I have guns... he definitely has money (or a huge cocaine stash, which, once sold, generates money)... and I let the mother er go?
The boss would equalize my ass for letting Michael Irvin off the hook.
But he's a huge fan. I would let any Raider great go.
they should have shot irvin we need to get rid off all the usless cowboys and fans
they should have shot you so we can get rid of stupid steelers fans like yourself
You're pathetic.
Nicely done. Both of them.
