Simply being Michael Irvin might have saved the Hall of Fame receiver’s car and possibly more.
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 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
before the pair eventually drove off.
Irvin, who was not harmed, says he was very afraid.”
“I tell you what, I’m glad he was a Cowboy fan,” Irvin told the newspaper.
