Micah Parsons thinks a team’s best players should get paid accordingly. So much so, he’s advocating for a division rival.
On Thursday, the Cowboys linebacker snapped back at a Twitter user who suggested New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was losing steam near the end of the 2022 season. The random hater pointed out Barkley had 931 rushing yards in the first nine games, but only 359 in the last eight.
“He was wearing down and not as effective in the final half of the season. No ‘weird sh-it’ just facts,” he tweeted.
But Parsons wasn’t having it.

While the Formula One world looks ahead to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the end of April, it seems we are still not yet done with the Australian Grand Prix.
Despite that race ending over two weeks ago, there is still an outside chance that the results could change. FIA has agreed to hear an appeal from Ferrari regarding the five-second penalty handed down to driver Carlos Sainz Jr.
Rory McIlroy’s appearance at the Masters, his ninth attempt at winning the career grand slam, was a disaster. He wasn’t close to making the cut and looked pitiful walking around Augusta National. While it’s no secret that McIlroy faces tremendous pressure each time he tees it up at Augusta, his former agent, Chubby Chandler, thinks there is more to the equation.
Like most others who witnessed McIlroy’s poor performance at the 2023 Masters, Chandler doesn’t believe it’s too bold to say that McIlroy will never wear the green jacket.
Everyone focuses on the Donovan Mitchell trade, but it’s another monster deal that helped playoff-bound Cleveland’s rebuild.
