Micah Parsons takes shot at rival Eagles
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.
It’s no secret that Dallas Cowboys edge-rusher Micah Parsons is not a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.
And he wasn’t afraid to express his disdain for his division rival on a recent episode of “Cold As Balls,” hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, a Philadelphia native and noted Eagles fan.
Hart asked Parsons why networks keep giving the Cowboys primetime games, to which he responded because Dallas was “the best.” Hart then followed up by making a case that the Eagles should be featured more in primetime over the Cowboys, which elicited a cheap shot from Parsons about Philadelphia’s infamous “tush push” play.
“So you could just push your quarterback in the end zone?” Parsons asked. “Nobody wants to watch that, sorry. I’m not jealous. You saying why are we on TV when we’re the star.”
The Eagles took plenty of heat last season for their use of the “tush push” — a quarterback sneak play they have mastered and execute at a higher success rate than any other team in the NFL.
Last week, Parsons expressed frustration the Eagles were able to grab cornerback Quinyon Mitchell with pick No. 22 of the draft.
During the Bleacher Report live draft show on Thursday, Parsons spouted off about his disgust for how lucky the Eagles have been with landing top players each of the last two drafts. In addition to landing Mitchell this year, the Eagles landed defensive tackle Jalen Carter with the ninth overall pick in the 2023 draft.
Parsons was also outspoken when the Eagles signed star running back Saquon Barkley to a three-year, $37.75 million free-agent deal back in March, calling the signing sickening.
