In 1998 Dallas Cowboys’ Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin took a bad haircut a little too seriously. Irvin, after getting into a war of words with offensive lineman Everett McIver over the haircut disagreement, decided the best course of action was to stab him in the neck with a pair of scissors. The two-inch gash required stitches and Irvin was lucky not to face any consequences. If McIver had decided to press charges, Irvin likely would have faced jail time, already being on probation for drug possession.
