Micah Parsons' Stern Reply To Cowboys Teammate After Podcast Comment
Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher Micah Parsons fired back a response in a now-deleted social media post at comments made by his teammate, safety Malik Hooker.
During an appearance on the "All Facts No Brakes Podcast," Hooker shared thoughts on Parsons hosting a podcast show during the season. The Cowboys' defensive back claimed he didn't have an issue with Parsons doing the show as long as he kept his focus on the team.
"Are you caring about the crowd that's watching your podcast, or are you caring about the success of our team and the Super Bowl we're trying to reach?" Hooker questioned.
Parsons, a three-time Pro Bowler, was not happy about having his focus questioned. He was even more upset that Hooker made the comments without coming to him first.
"Just wish you said this to me but instead on some podcast! And you got my number family! And you my locker mate! So you coulda said this any day! And you do realize I shoot the podcast on our off day!" posted Parsons.
He added, "I why ain't we talking about everyone preparations and focus leading up to the game week? I mean I could point out a lot of other things but I'm just not!"

Parsons currently hosts "The Edge with Micah Parsons" with Bleacher Report. It clearly hasn't impacted his game considering he's one of the best defensive players in the NFL.
He notched 64 tackles, 14 sacks, two pass deflections and one forced fumble under his belt in his third consecutive All-Pro season in 2023. There are plenty of reasons to point out why the Cowboys haven't been able to get over the hump and return to the Super Bowl.
Parsons isn't one of them.
