Looks like media outlets are starting to poke holes in Michael's story. When I first heard about it, I thought "What an outstanding human being. Great job, Michael!"
But the more I read about it, I think he may have made the whole thing up to look like a hero.
Per the police report (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0114091irvin1.html?link=rssfeed)
"Strangely, though the incident reportedly happened Monday evening, Irvin did not contact cops until 5:51 PM Tuesday afternoon, according to Corporal Kevin Janse, a Dallas Police spokesman. Janse told TSG that Irvin "flagged down" a cop, but he did not know where that occurred. Additionally, though Irvin told reporters today that he carried on a conversation with the suspects for several minutes (topics included the Cowboys and the NFL playoffs) before the would-be assailants sped off, the police report does not reflect that banter. After interviewing Irvin, police wrote in their report that when one suspect recognized him and called out his name, "suspect two put down the gun and the suspects drove away."
On whether he filed a police report, Michael says, "I did not. I did not. I did not file a police report. I didn't want to make much of a story out of it outside of sharing it on the radio, but I will tell you this and I said it on the air: They were in a black pickup truck. I know a lot of people drive black pickup trucks but it's the only warning I can give and I didn't get a license plate, so I feel bad about that."
Kinda hard to belive that Michael just had a friendly talk with some guys who had semi-automatic weapons.
Looks like ******** is also treating it as a possible hoax:

Hope this turns out to be false and that Michael was telling the truth. The last thing we need is a Cowboys scandal in the media to tarnish our reputation as America's team!
