Move over, Texas brisket—there’s a new smoke show in town. Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons and NFL legend Shannon Sharpe are serving up drama hotter than a jalapeño popper, and this rivalry just got a $100 million twist.
On Friday, Parsons fired shots at Sharpe after reports revealed the Hall of Famer’s jaw-dropping $100M media deal. Sharing Legion Hoops’ post about Sharpe’s contract, Parsons quipped, “’Stop the podcast Micah’ yea Ite..” —a cheeky nod to critics of his own podcast ambitions. The jab reignites a feud that started in January when Sharpe roasted Parsons’ bold Cowboys Super Bowl prediction.
Back on January, Sharpe slammed Parsons’ claim that Dallas would win Super Bowl LX despite a 7-win season. “I take everything he says with a pinch of salt,” Sharpe said on Nightcap. “He’s just saying things to get clicks… How are they going to win the Super Bowl if he doesn’t think his own quarterback is among the top five?” Sharpe also noted only the 2020 Bucs won a title after missing playoffs—a dig at Dallas’ 30-year conference title drought.

Parsons, meanwhile, doubled down like a Texas two-step, standing by his team even as critics piled on. Now, with Sharpe’s mega-deal stealing headlines, the Cowboys LB isn’t backing down.
Will this beef turn into a full-blown BBQ showdown? One thing’s clear: In the NFL, talk is cheaper than a dollar hot dog—but $100M buys a lot of smoke.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
