Micah Parsons Raises Issue With Media's Treatment of Dak Prescott, Cowboys
Cowboys star Micah Parsons didn’t speak to the media after the win on Monday night against the Chargers, but he sounded off two days later on his podcast, The Edge.
During the latest episode of his podcast, Parsons blasted the media for its treatment of Dallas, and more specifically, quarterback Dak Prescott.
Parsons took issue with how the media treats Prescott and the Cowboys after a game compared to their treatment of the Eagles, saying that Dallas is more harshly criticized than its division rivals.
“I just don’t condone the bashing of Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, and have the same energy for the Eagles. We want the same energy for everybody. Because there’s a whole bunch of bashing when it’s Dak Prescott, but not the same when it’s the Eagles,” said Parsons.

The Eagles lost to the Jets in Week 6, their first loss of the season, and Parsons doesn’t feel the team was scrutinized heavily enough in the aftermath.
He specifically called out Fox’s Emmanuel Acho, who said he’s “not worried” about the 49ers’ loss in Week 6 to the Browns due to the absences of Christian McCaffrey, who played and scored a touchdown before his exit, and Deebo Samuel.
“The Browns were missing Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb. They were missing them key factors before the game even started. So why is it that we are just scrubs and we’re nobodies, that don’t deserve to be on the field and we’re just all talk, but there’s 100 excuses for these other teams.
“If y’all just gonna hate Cowboys Nation, just say y’all hate Cowboys Nation,” he added.
Parsons made clear that he’s not appreciative of the narrative surrounding his quarterback, and urged for media to keep the “same energy” when talking about other top teams such as Philadelphia and San Francisco.
