Shannon Sharpe, former Denver Broncos’ tight end, lambasted Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons following the latter’s criticism of head coach Mike McCarthy. The linebacker recently broke his two-week silence as he apologized for reportedly throwing McCarthy under the bus after a game loss.
Dallas Cowboys are 3-7 to the season, in stark contrast to what Jerry Jones anticipated ahead of the league opener. After a first-week win, the Cowboys have found themselves on pace to set a new record for the worst point differential at home. They have lost all home games, the last being Week 11 against the Houston Texans.
Speaking on the ‘Nightcap Show,’ Shannon Sharpe launched a tirade at Micah Parsons. Sharpe noted that they cannot take back the deeds done and words spoken – indicating that he believes there is a limit to excuses. The former TE established that he believes Micah Parsons is not young, and added that Parsons can’t be excused on account of his age considering he cashes a huge lump of money every week.
Two things that can’t be taken back: words spoken and deeds done. At some point in time, we gotta stop using excuses, ‘Oh, he’s young.’ 25 is Young? He ain’t too young to cash that cheque. These young men, they are not kids. These grown a** men, are kids masquerading as grown men, and is embarrassing.

The linebacker received flak for his words about head coach Mike McCarthy. Parsons expressed that McCarthy can exit the franchise, noting that he doesn’t care about the coach at all. He also undermined McCarthy’s experience and acknowledged that he plays for people like Zack Martin who are probably at the end years of their career. Parsons although admitted his mistake and apologized and blamed the media for taking things out of context.
Later, McCarthy had closed the lid on the boiling hot water stating that the duo had cleared the air. The linebacker recently spoke out regarding the incident admitting anger and frustration fueled his outburst against McCarthy.
Chad Johnson issues warning to Dallas Cowboys players with podcasts
Chad Ochocinco Johnson, who was alongside Sharpe in the podcast issued a warning to Micah Parsons and other NFL, especially Cowboys players with podcasts. The former wide receiver admitted players need to understand the consequences.
Johnson who played 11 seasons in the league noted that being a Cowboys player comes with increased media attention. He issued a warning to all the Cowboys players, especially the ones who have podcasts, to be careful of what they say.
The players especially those who have podcasts, those who love to talk to media…obviously being a part of the Cowboys, everything you say is magnified because of the star on your helmet. You gotta be a little bit more careful, everyone is not media-savvy.
Chad Johnson said
The Dallas Cowboys are in one of their toughest seasons in recent history. The poor record is one of the huge issues that drives around a sack of fodder for the media to pick. In the recent weeks, there has been multiple reports of McCarthy losing the locker room’s support following Parsons’ admission. Last week also capped off another controversy when players CeeDee Lamb and cornerback Trevon Diggs were spotted shooting a music video following the humiliating loss at the hands of the Texans.
