- NFL. Micah Parsons called out by own Cowboys team-mate Malik Hooker as public row erupts
- NFL. Micah Parsons gets bad news about possible contract extension with the Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are making headlines once again, but this time it's not about a contract extension. The focus is on Malik Hooker, the Cowboys Safety, who recently called out Micah Parsons, the LB, for various reasons. Hooker spilled the beans on Keyshawn Johnson's podcast All Facts No Brakes, and his comments did not sit well with Parsons.
The conversation caught the attention of the hosts of SPEAK and James Jones, who felt that Hooker should have addressed his concerns with Parsons in person instead of airing them out on a podcast, a platform that Hooker apparently isn't a fan of. In response, Micah Parsons took to social media to offer a logical rebuttal, which even NFL veterans found agreeable.
The ex-Packers wideout on SPEAK weighed in, saying: "When guys come out and say this stuff publicly, then now you put the magnifying glass on that." He also expressed concern that public criticism could lead to division within the team and affect Parsons' performance on the field. The sentiment was clear - direct communication is key to avoiding unnecessary drama.
Hooker advises Parsons to focus on team's success
In the midst of all this, Hooker offered some advice to Parsons, urging him to prioritize the team's success over other distractions. He questioned Parsons' focus by pointing out his involvement in a podcast while the run game was struggling. However, Hooker did clarify that he doesn't have an issue with Parsons having a podcast as long as the "run game" is in good shape.
The mention of the "run game" raises eyebrows, especially considering that Parsons is known as one of the best edge rushers in the league. It's an interesting point of contention that adds another layer to the situation.
Overall, the public airing of grievances has sparked a debate about the impact of such comments on team dynamics and performance. It's clear that there are differing opinions on how these issues should be addressed, but at the heart of it all is a desire to ensure that the team remains focused on their ultimate goal - reaching the Super Bowl.
