The Dallas Cowboys have still been facing plenty of criticism since last weekend’s stunning Wildcard Round loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Fox Sports host Skip Bayless is known to be a long-time Cowboys fan but is also famous for his hot takes.
Bayless was not happy about the Cowboys’ one-and-done exit — and per usual — took to the airwaves to blast thee organization, its players and head coach Mike McCarthy.
Dallas on Sunday lost at home for the first time this season when the Green Bay Packers won 48-32 in a stunning result.
The Dallas Cowboys became the first No. 2 seed to lose to a No. 7 seed with Packers redshirt rookie Jordan Love outplaying the veteran Dak Prescott, who once again couldn’t get it done under the lights.
After the game, Bayless took to social media to share his frustration. In a video posted on X, Bayless took turns throwing away multiple Cowboys items, including the jerseys of Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb, regular logo shirts and a hat.
Following the flurry of tweets, one of which was a comment criticizing Parsons for his impact—or lack thereof—on the game against the Packers. Specifically, the Fox Sports personality said he couldn’t wait for the Pro Bowl linebacker to record his podcast, because that’s “what he does best.”
Dallas Cowboys Star Micah Parsons Unleashes On Skip Bayless
On Friday, the Cowboys star pass rusher finally clapped back at Bayless, after the FSI host attacked him yet again.
“You just a hating ass mf who mad I ain’t want to do your show?!” Parsons said on X. “Where was all this when you were on my nuts wanting me to come on your show every Tuesday!! You lame asf skip real shit, fake ass cowboys fan!!”

This isn’t the first time Bayless, who claims he is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, has criticized Micah Parsons.
In October, Parsons defended Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and called out the media for constantly bashing the franchise signal caller.
Said Micah: “I just don’t condone the bashing of Dak Prescott and the Cowboys … (critics should) 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.”
Parsons’ evaluation showed wisdom beyond his 24 years. The Cowboys are talked about in ways the other 31 NFL teams are not. Indeed, the national “debate shows” quite likely spend more time dissecting “America’s Team” than they do all the other franchises combined.
Then of course Skip Bayless had to chime in.
In one sense, Bayless was essentially urging Micah Parsons to quit paying attention to … Bayless and people like him.
“Micah, you have to wake up, you play for the most polarizing team in sports,” Bayless said. … and that “polarization” is part of the fun and the frustration of being “America’s Team.”
At this point, it’s truly hard to decipher if Skip Bayless is truly a Dallas Cowboys fan or if he just likes to claim it so he can boost ratings with constant viral-worthy moments surrounding the most popular team in the NFL.
Good for Micah Parsons for finally speaking up. It’s more than obvious Bayless is just attacking him for attention as the former All-Pro and Cowboys’ star has made the Pro Bowl every year he’s been in the NFL while coming off yet another fantastic season with 14 sacks.
The Dallas pass rusher is about to become one of the highest paid players at his position with a new contract coming likely sooner than later. In the meantime, he’s not afraid to call out the haters when necessary.
