Cowboys hall-of-famer Michael Irvin ended up chit chatting with a man who pulled a gun on him as he waited at a stoplight in Dallas.

The Hall of Fame receiver said he chatted calmly with the 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 Cowboys 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.

And that's the end of the story? The passenger "flashed" a gun (whatever that means) and Irvin didn't call police with their license plate number?
