The Dallas Cowboys may have to sort out some beef in their locker room before training camp begins in late July.
Earlier this week, Cowboys safety Malik Hooker made a few blunt remarks about Micah Parsons’ podcast. Whether or not it was his intention, he questioned the All-Pro’s commitment to the team.
“My advice for Micah would be just make sure we’re all right,” Hooker said. “Because if we’re at work and and the run game’s terrible, but you’re doing a podcast every week and you know the run game is terrible, then what are you really caring about? Are you caring about the crowd that was watching the podcast or are you caring about the success of our team and the Super Bowl that we’re trying to reach?”
Hooker made these comments on Keyshawn Johnson’s podcast, which makes him come across as a hypocrite.
With that said, Parsons fired back at Hooker in a recently-deleted tweet.
“Just wish you said this to me but instead on some podcast! And you got my number family! @MalikHooker24 and you my locker mate!” Parsons replied, via The Dallas Morning News. “So you coulda said this any day! And you do realize I shoot the podcast on our off day! I why ain’t we talking about everyone preparations and focus.”
Well, this is officially awkward.
If Hooker had an issue with Parsons’ podcast, he would’ve been better off saying something behind closed doors. Now, everyone knows that at least one member of the Cowboys is skeptical of their best defensive player’s devotion to the locker room.
