Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons broke his silence on Friday after his team dropped their first playoff game to the Green Bay Packers 48-32 last weekend. The former Penn State first-rounder didn’t share an episode of his show, “The Edge,” this week and he has been silent on social media since before the loss on Sunday.
What (or who) finally got the Cowboys star to speak? None other than Skip Bayless. The commentator was heated after the playoff loss, even tossing some memorabilia into the trash can, but it didn’t stop there. He took his disappointment to social media where he called out Parsons. The 24-year-old NFL star had two tackles against Green Bay on Sunday.
“Can’t wait for Micah Parsons’ podcast tomorrow,” Bayless tweeted on Sunday. “That’s what he does best.”
“You just a hating a-- mf who mad I ain’t want to do your show?!” Parsons replied. “Where was all this when you were on my n--- wanting me to come on your show every Tuesday!! You lame asf skip real s---, fake a-- cowboys fan!!”
It took him five days to respond but apparently, Parsons wasn’t going to take Bayless’ disrespect lying down. Seems like the former Nittany Lions isn’t going to become a recurring guest on The Skip Bayless Show any time soon.
Bayless contemplating fan base switch after Cowboys loss
On Thursday, Bayless said the Wild Card Round loss to the Green Bay Packers was his “lowest moment as a fan x1000.” The former Dallas Morning News columnist says he no longer trusts Dak Prescott, nor head coach Mike McCarthy, whom the Cowboys are bringing back for Year 5.
“Since I was 10 years old, I was a Cowboy fan. I had never, ever experienced anything remotely like that. I was my lowest moment as a Cowboys fan x1000,” Bayless said. “This was a mismatch. We were not in Green Bay’s league. Jordan Love looked way better than Dak because I fear that he is. Coach LaFleur coached better than Mike McCarthy because I think he’s just a way better coach than Mike McCarthy. In three minutes, we went from NFC Championship here we come to oblivion, to complete and utter hopelessness.”
If Skip Bayless chooses to hop on to another team’s fan base, there’s at least one Cowboys player who won’t be sad to see him go.
