How about them Cowboys?
Luckily for Michael Irvin, a gunman in another vehicle is a fan of the football team and recognized the Hall of Fame receiver before there was any trouble.
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, according to The Associated Press. The driver rolled down his window, so Irvin did the same, thinking the two men recognized him.
“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.
The men eventually drove off.
