Video: Micah wants to meet some people he doesn't like

[Ranched]

He took the league by surprise last season.

He did so at Penn State first! Nothing beats the thrill of a PS white out & watching Parsons become a great. NOTHING!

Personally, I like hearing Parsons say he does not like other people. I believe a healthy amount of animosity is needed in sports and especially in team sports.

The NFL's fierceness has dulled somewhat since the introduction of the modern free agency in the 1990's. Players began moving between teams much more than they ever did before. They formed many more friendly bonds between each other. The evolution of social media has allowed players to enjoy more personal connections among themselves during the same period also.

So, it is refreshing to me seeing-and-hearing an "old school" mentality in today's NFL. It is not necessary for Parsons to be perceived as some sort of hate machine. He appears to be a very goodhearted young man, who is likely beloved by family and friends. What I like is a player who loves football so much that he wants to hurt other teams' players so he does not end up feeling personal heartache from losing. That is the purest form of sports passion in my book, something not really seen as often now as in days long gone.

This team has lacked this for way too long. He can fire up others and show the rookies what it takes to succeed, then they succeed as a team.
Definitely a team leader.

Excellent point. Todays players are a school-like fraternity that cares nothing about rivalries and losses. They hug it up with the team that just beat them while the fans fight it out in the parking lot.

No way in hell that Conrad Dobler would have been hugging up a Cowboys player after a game.

Yeah Micah can be what this defenses has been missing.

But what beats watching a white out at Penn State....THE Ohio State Buckeyes going there and winning.
Go Buckeyes!!!

I am still surprised Dobler did not end up causing amputations after all the knees he tried to break with dirty low hits for so many years.

OK then
Micah makes these comments...and it is great, and everyone loves it, as well as his comments.

But the other players, coaches, owner makes similar comments they get ragged...
Just an observation.

It’s very simple....because we all know more about football than those clowns that get paid to do it for a living

You can talk the talk and not get ragged if you actually walk the walk. He walked the walk last year as a freaking rookie.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Trade him NOW while he still has value

Could we get a haul ala Hershel Walker type blockbuster in that trade? I JK!

 

[plymkr]

He sounds kinda like a Mike Tyson type who enters the game with "bad intentions." He doesn't wanna meet 'em, he wants to kill em?!

Every offense has a plan until Micah hits them in the mouth.

Micah walks his talk.

Different.

So do others

So do others

Nobody like Micah since LT.

That's once in a franchise different.

 

[ItzKelz]

That mentality. "Not worried if the offense scores 0 points. We can score on defense and I just want to go out there and kill some people I don't like."

That's that killer instinct this defense has missed for decades.

It's like Ali talking smack, compared to Buster Douglas talking smack.

I took what he said a little differently than most here, I think. I think he just meant he wants to play against people other than teammates, so he can go hard, and not worry about hurting his team.

I like this from Micah.

On this team? Who?

We're Cowboys fans. We don't give a crap about what other players and coaches say.

Hypocritical? Sure, but that's the privilege that comes with fandom.

 

[BAT]

Micah bringing THIS back to Big D.

Sniff. Finally, Jerry's "War Daddy." Sniff.
