Micah Parsons and his Cowboys teammate engage in a war of words over his podcast

Micah Parsons’ off-field activities may not sit well with his Cowboys teammates.

During his appearance on the podcast “All Facts No Brakes” with former Pro Bowl receiver Keyshawn Johnson, Dallas safety Malik Hooker chimed in on Parsons’ podcasting hobby.

“My advice to Micah would be, just make sure we’re OK and stay where you are,” Hooker said on June 27. “Because if we’re out there working and the running game is terrible, but you’re doing a podcast every week – and you know the running game is terrible – what do you really care about? Do you care about the people watching your podcast, or do you care about the success of our team and the Super Bowl that we’re trying to get to?”

Parsons launched the podcast “The Edge with Micah Parsons” in 2023 and was named president of Bleacher Report’s Gridiron division in May, which focuses on the company’s creative football content.

The All-Pro edge rusher didn’t seem happy with Hooker’s words or the way he delivered them.

“I just wish you would have told me that, but on a podcast!” Parsons wrote in a now-deleted tweet, the Dallas Morning News reported. “And you have my number, family! And you’re my locker mate! So you could have said that anytime! And you do realize I’m doing the podcast on our day off! Why don’t we talk about everyone’s preparation and focus.”

Hooker then responded himself, seemingly putting out the burgeoning fire by calling Parsons his “little brother” and saying, “His podcast doesn’t do any harm.”
