It's well documented. Charles Haley is a legit crazy person. Michael Irvin had a bit of that in him too, might have just been the cocaine though.

As a Dallas Cowboys diehard - I can attest that Irvin and haley are both bat sh!t. Jeff Pearlman in his book Boys Will Be Boys really got some dirty stories out of ex-cowboys players somehow.
And yes Pokesan. You are DEFINITELY Charles Haley

The first chapter of Boys Will Be Boys, Jeff Pearlman’s 2008 look at the Cowboys of the 1990s, is titled “Scissors to the Neck.” It tells the story of the time that Irvin, yes, took scissors to the neck of a teammate.
It started at training camp in 1998, when the six-foot-five, 318-pound McIver got into in a barber chair when it was Irvin’s turn.
“Seniority!” Irvin yelled, but McIver didn’t leave the chair.
“Seniority! Seniority! Seniority!” Irvin screamed. “Punk, get the f–k out of my chair!”
Teammate Erik Williams told McIver not to get up, because McIver wasn’t a rookie. Eventually, McIver stood up and shoved Irvin. Irvin shoved McIver back. McIver shoved Irvin again. Then, McIver grabbed Irvin and threw him toward a wall.
Next, McIver did what so many football people have said this week that a “grown-ass man” should do when bullied: McIver punched Irvin in the mouth.
And then Irvin grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed McIver in the neck.
“The motion was neither smooth nor slick, but jagged,” Pearlman writes, “like a saw cutting felt. The tip of the scissors ripped into McIver’s skin, just about his collarbone and inches from the carotid artery. McIver let loose a horrified scream.”
