Broncos broadcast falls for fake Micah Parsons quote

There was just one problem: Parsons never said this. The origin of the fake quote was an X user who made the whole thing up, posted it, and added a professional-looking graphic to try to legitimize it.

Perhaps the worst part is that the quote does not pass even a basic level of scrutiny. While the podcast is real, Parsons has not released a new episode of it in six months. It takes virtually no effort to find that out, either, suggesting someone working on this broadcast did not put in the bare minimum of effort to verify the veracity of the quote.

Parsons has been fairly quiet since he demanded a trade from the Cowboys. The closest he has come to sharing a preferred destination was a fairly indirect comment about teaming up with another player. He certainly has not publicly named other teams as preferred landing spots.

This is hardly the first time a professional organization has fallen for a fake social media quote. It might be one of the more embarrassing ones, though.
