It’s been a great week in Dallas following the Cowboys’ first win of the season over the Cincinnati Bengals, with backup Cooper Rush operating the present at quarterback. All is effectively proper now in Massive D, and their greatest participant, Micah Parsons, appears to be his ordinary talkative, jovial self throughout Twitter.

The identical couldn’t be mentioned after Week 1, the place the Cowboys received beat handily by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 19-3. The protection actually wasn’t the first motive for that loss, and Parsons even had two sacks. Two days later, Parsons had an marketed look scheduled for Undisputed with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe that he ended up no-showing.

Life occurs generally. All of us perceive that, however Parsons is consistently on Twitter throwing out opinions on every part below the solar, cracking jokes, and throwing pictures in all places. It’s humorous how silent Parsons was following that loss to the Bucs. Being upset following that loss is anticipated, however you agreed to go on FS1’s flagship present every Tuesday of the common season. Certainly, Parsons didn’t suppose Dallas would go undefeated this yr. It got here off as unprofessional and flakey.

When Parsons lastly commented on his failure to look, Dak Prescott’s harm, the loss, and management have been used as excuses.

“My beginning QB went down, and we misplaced,” Parsons mentioned, per Hill. “I simply didn’t suppose it was acceptable for me to be on the present at that time. I must step up and be a pacesetter. It shouldn’t be on TV, it ought to be on this locker room. That is the place my focus ought to be proper now.”

It’s laborious to consider that anybody can discuss “management” after not exhibiting up for an engagement they’d agreed to weeks prior. And this was purported to be for your entire 17-week common season. Had the Cowboys received that first sport towards Tampa Bay, please consider Parsons would’ve proven up with an enormous grin on his face, able to go at it with Sharpe, the resident Cowboys hater on Undisputed.

Since Parsons determined to go there in his rationalization, skipping a scheduled look isn’t an indication of fine management. It shouldn’t have taken Prescott getting damage for him to step up and be a pacesetter. In his second yr, Parsons isn’t simply Dallas’ greatest defensive participant however the very best total participant on the staff. The 23-year-old is now not a rookie. It’s time to step up and be a locker room chief, regardless of who’s there.

If the Cowboys proceed profitable, this slip-up will possible be missed and forgotten, however Parsons owes one to Undisputed. FS1 went out of their solution to arrange gear in his dwelling for this weekly spot solely to have him no-call, no-show them the primary week. Neither Parsons nor anybody on his private staff might be bothered to let producers of the present know he wasn’t going to make it. That’s Busch league, and Parsons appears significantly better than that.

Dallas performs the Giants on Monday Evening Soccer in Week 3. Parsons is but to indicate up for his weekly spot on FS1, and at this level, it hasn’t been talked about a lot since he missed the primary present. It makes you surprise why a participant would even decide to one thing like this. Both manner, it’s a horrible search for Parsons, particularly when he’s proper again on Twitter spouting off after a win.
