This is the aftermath on Saturday morning from the fires in Stillwater. Crosswinds & Pecan Hill neighborhoods shown here. The footage ends at the entrance of Boulder Creek off of Range road. Pray for our community 🙏
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 😆😆😆
