Micah Parsons said after the Dallas Cowboys shocking Wild Card round loss to the Green Bay Packers that he was too embarrassed to show his face. Well, it looks like that feeling has worn off, and he’s back talking smack amongst his NFL friends just a month later.
Parsons has never been one to back down from friendly smack talk, and any time you put him in a competitive situation, he might be liable to say something that raises an eyebrow or two. Such is the case with his interaction with Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku after aiming at his Browns team following their disappointing ending and recent history.
Micah Parsons Takes a Shot at the Cleveland Browns
Parsons can dish it, and in this case, he had to take it as well.

When asked about Njoku’s Madden performance at a Pro Bowl event, Parsons didn’t hold back with the smack talk.
“I thought he did amazing, he made great adjustments, he obviously showed why Cleveland is Cleveland…,” Parsons started before he was interrupted by Njoku.
“Woah, woah, woah,” Njoku reacted to the comment. “One thing you gotta understand is, he said Cleveland is Cleveland, but we are both here, we’re both playing the Madden game, you gotta make it make sense,” Njoku stated in reference to both his and Parsons’ team not making the Super Bowl; hence, why they are participating in this event together in the first place.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is seen sitting between the both of them and sticks up for Njoku when he interjects by saying “He does have a good point, bro, we all here.”
Njoku finishes by saying, “So what are you saying, Cleveland is Cleveland, Dallas is Dallas?”

Parsons finishes the exchange by doing a shoulder shrug with a big grin on his face and says “Alright..alright.”
While it was all in good fun between the star Pro Bowlers, Njoku was not tolerating any disrespect. In this case, Parsons had to sit there and take what he said right back to him as it was tough to dispute Njoku’s logic.
Between Njoku, Parsons, and Hill, the Cowboys, Browns, and Dolphins don’t have much of any playoff success to speak of since any of them were born. Thus, maybe it would’ve been best for none of them to say anything about it all.
Nevertheless, it was still a funny exchange between three of the league’s best players, regardless of their teams’ histories.
