Michael Irvin Knows What Time It Is When You Try To Carjack Him

Oh Michael Irvin, when we hear of you and anything illegal in the same sentence, we know it’s gonna be good. And while almost being carjacked before getting recognized isn’t as good as you almost slashing your teammate’s neck for being in a barber chair or getting caught with a 1:1/hooker:kilo of coke ratio in a hotel room, we think the story’s pretty great. So Irvin was driving in north Dallas when two guys rolled up next to him and rolled down their windows. Irvin, not forgetting who he was, thought that the gentlemen wanted to have a conversation about how much Tony “Slave Legs” Romo sucked this year. In reality however, they wanted to carjack him, a point made clear when they whipped out a shiny gun for him to see.

“The passenger pulled out a semiautomatic and I knew what time it was,” Irvin said.

Quite astute, Mr. Irvin.

“But he said ‘Oh, that’s Michael Irvin, with the Dallas Cowboys.’” Despite being scared, Irvin said he tried to keep the conversation going… So we started talking about the Cowboys and everything,” he said. “Then they got back on the highway… I tell you what, I’m glad he was a Cowboy fan,” Irvin said.

Oh we wouldn’t have worried. The moment Irvin got out of his car, they carjackers would’ve been blinded by his suit, foiling their plans and providing the perfect window for his getaway.
