@Htown_Aggie@TexasFootball It’s crazy to go 15 years of not winning in this stadium and try to put your stamp on it 😂 still sore about being bumped in the playoffs
Gambit is a guy Chan was born to play. His story is similar to mine in that he spent a decade trying to put the most comic-accurate version of Gambit on the big screen. Remy LeBeau is grafted to his soul and needs to come out and deal. And Gambit found his author in Chan. He’s one of the coolest, smartest characters in Comics and still largely unexplored. I want more — and from what I saw in theaters, you do too. Having the chance to say goodbye to some of these heroes is as important as having new characters to root for… and rooting for Gambit is easy. Rooting for Chan is even easier. He’s one of the greatest, hardest working, kindest people in this entire industry. I couldn’t be more thrilled to see @channingtatum pull Gambit from the dead and bring him to life at the perfect time and perfect way. #Gambit ♠️ #DeadpoolAndWolverine.
So, the folks on First Take responded to Micah Parsons today, and they said a few things I need to address.
I'd love to keep this brief, but that's difficult when addressing several different people.
I'm gonna start with @MollyQerim (4:59), because she made the most sense out of everyone.
Micah talked about the energy brought to the coverage, not the AMOUNT of coverage.
Any media personality who thinks they have to cover the Dallas Cowboys more due to the "nature of the business" or the popularity of the Cowboys still has choices in the words they use, the takes they present, and how they present them.
Folks have made excuses for Burrow because of his calf, for Herbert because of his thumb, and for Hurts because of coaching changes. But many of those same folks have acted like those factors shouldn't be taken into consideration for Dak Prescott.
And when have we seen SA show up in costume to mock these other teams or constantly make fun of the disappointed fans of those teams in the rudest ways?
I watch people every day who cover the Cowboys fairly without the level of negativity we see from mainstream sports media.
Micah was right, and somehow Molly is the only one who recognized that.
@ByKimberleyA (1:08) You know another team that hasn't won a Super Bowl since before Micah was born? The San Francisco 49ers. So if lack of championships and unmet expectations are the criteria, that's even more reason to discuss other teams. The whole "before you were born" argument just has no basis.
And as for the rosters they've put together - there have been good players, but how often has it really come together? Going into 2022, there was nothing but questions about the Cowboys receiver room and their O-Line. Questions that were never answered.
@stephenasmith Since when are endorsements and popularity good reasons to judge someone more harshly than someone else and negatively impact their reputations as athletes on purpose?
Once again, if you feel like your role calls you to address the Cowboys more than other teams, fine, but at least be fair in that coverage.
You and others pick and choose the info, film, and stats you want to highlight in order to fit the narrative you want to reinforce. Micah Parsons is asking for the whole story to be told. And he has a right to ask for that regardless of how popular he is or how popular his team and his quarterback are.
@MicahhParsons11 spoke his piece, and mainstream media responded with almost nothing but pushback. Who can blame him for not wanting to speak to the media anymore?
I'ma have to save the rest. I know nobody is reading all of this 😆😆😆
@DomWWhite I appreciate this post and you talking this side! Mark my words, Daks taking this team this year to the chip and y’all gonna hop on his back like nothing was ever said 😑
Y’all must have Dak Prescott messed up.
* No silver spoon as a kid
* Personal tragedies
* Mid round pick w/ 7 QBs taken higher
* Vet QB didn’t help him
* Wasn’t promised a thing
* Had to faced the Dallas & Nat’l media
* Constant noise from own fanbase
* Tried to pop his broken leg into place
* Fought adversity his entire life
My QB good! #Cowboys
Seems like everyone agrees that Dak’s playoff performance is the biggest knock against him, right?
Well, here’s a list of ALL active NFL QBs with a better Playoff EPA per play from 2016-on than Dak currently;
Patrick Mahomes 💍💍
Aaron Rodgers 💍
Matt Stafford 💍
Russell Wilson 💍
ALL SUPER BOWL WINNING QBs
That means Dak Prescott is quite literally the 5th best active QB in terms of individual performance during the playoffs on average since his rookie season in the NFL.
If Dak didn’t have the ✭ on his helmet, the 3 & 4 letter networks would be singing his praises and not holding him to such ridiculously impossible standards that no one else is.
The Dak slander has never made sense, and it never will.
@ScooterMagruder Cowboy fans need to stop dwelling in the past. Since Dak has gotten here we’ve been a solid franchise that’s slowly getting better each year. #4 will get us there mark my words!
