We’ve all been there. You say something you don’t mean in the heat of the moment, and then you spend the next week replaying it in the shower. Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys’ superstar linebacker, just admitted he feels that exact way about his public falling out with team owner Jerry Jones.
It’s a story that feels less like a sports headline and more like a family drama you might hear about at Thanksgiving dinner. Parsons recently opened up, saying he regrets the way things went down. He basically admitted he wishes he could hit Ctrl+Z on a few of his comments.
The “Oops, I Didn’t Mean It Like That” Moment
You know that awkward silence after you snap at your spouse over the milk being left out? That’s kind of what happened between Micah and Jerry. The tension started when Parsons missed a team meeting before a game, and Jerry Jones, the 82-year-old owner, made some public remarks about it.
