One week before the start of the NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys shocked social media when news broke that they had traded their defensive star, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers. In return for the Penn State standout, the Cowboys received two first-round draft picks (2026 and 2027) and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
Micah Parsons shares emotional reunion with Cowboys
The situation arose because Micah Parsons wanted a new contract. In four years with the Cowboys, he had been the team’s best player, recording 52.5 sacks and earning countless accolades. Parsons requested to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The Cowboys refused, but the Green Bay Packers agreed.
Parsons signed a historic deal with the Packers: four years for $188 million, with $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. He has already debuted and, while he hasn’t fully exploded yet, he has accumulated four sacks with his new team.
Jerry Jones did the right thing, according to experts
Jerry Jones was heavily criticized for sending Micah Parsons to the Packers. Critics argued that edge rushers don’t win Super Bowls and that Jones didn’t want to commit more money to a single player. Cowboys fans directed a lot of anger at the team owner.
However, NFL analyst Colin Cowherd, on an episode of The Herd, said he would have done the same: “I would’ve moved Micah Parsons, too. Edge rushers do not equal Super Bowls.”
Only time will tell who is right, but one thing is clear: Micah Parsons is now with the Green Bay Packers. He hasn’t fully hit top form yet and is easing back after recovering from an expected injury, but after four weeks, he has recorded four tackles and 2.5 sacks.
One of those sacks came against the Dallas Cowboys in a game that ended in a 40-40 tie. In overtime, Parsons sacked Dak Prescott, preventing him from reaching the end zone.

Kansas coach says pocketknife was thrown from stands and hit KU staffer in Texas Tech’s home win over Jayhawks
Kansas coach Lance Leipold said a pocketknife was thrown from the stands at Jones AT&T Stadium and hit a KU staffer during No. 9 Texas Tech’s win over the Jayhawks on Saturday night.Leipold said the knife was thrown in the third quarter of Tech’s 42-17 win. Texas Tech fans were flagged twice for throwing tortillas on the field during kickoffs during the game as part of the Big 12’s new rule against throwing objects. He did not say that the staffer was injured in the incident.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“It’s supposed to be for safety and things like that, and it’s a culture that’s been accepted to a point and hasn’t changed. Eventually somebody’s going to be seriously hurt, unfortunately,” Leipold said.The Lawrence Journal-World cited a KU spokesperson who said that Texas Tech’s second penalty for thrown objects “was a direct result of the […]
Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov, targeted by Blackhawks, further shows what he’s all about
CHICAGO – Montreal Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov played his first career game at United Center, a building he could have called home had the Chicago Blackhawks decided to draft him at No. 2 in 2024 instead of defenceman Artyom Levshunov, who was a healthy scratch for this home opener.Whether that was part of the dynamic that quickly took hold in this game is unknown, but for whatever reason, the Blackhawks appeared to be targeting Demidov. At least, that’s what the Canadiens thought anyway.AdvertisementAnd that’s kind of what mattered in a game that was hard to draw much meaning from — one where the Canadiens had a ridiculous 10 power plays and won 3-2 on a goal with 15 seconds left in regulation by Kaiden Guhle, who was a big part of the story surrounding Demidov.He saw what the Blackhawks were […]

Indiana’s statement, Penn State’s implosion and more college football Week 7 takeaways
And now, 20 Final Thoughts from Week 7. Who’s ready for Indiana, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech and Navy in the College Football Playoff semifinals?1. College football history is littered with stories of coaches lifting longtime doormats to glory: Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Bill McCartney at Colorado, Rich Brooks at Oregon, Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech, among others. The common theme: slow, steady progress, with the payoff finally coming three, four, five years down the road.AdvertisementIndiana’s Curt Cignetti, by contrast, has pulled off one of the most impressive transformations in the history of the sport in the span of just 19 games. Why waste time with the traditional “cute, cuddly underdog” phase when you can go straight to “big, bad bully that can beat anyone in the country”?2. The seventh-ranked Hoosiers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) went to Autzen Stadium, where […]
USMNT, Mauricio Pochettino have a (good) Weston McKennie dilemma
AUSTIN, Texas — Over nine years of professional soccer, Weston McKennie has played just about everywhere. He is, at heart, a midfielder; but he has been a right back and left back, a wingback and winger, a player who, in the words of former Juventus coach Thiago Motta, “can do everything.” Even in his natural habitat, the middle of the park, he has been a No 6, 8, 10, and every fractional number in between.AdvertisementHis preferred role, though, revolves around a single word: “Freedom.”“I’m the type of player that likes to get forward, and have the freedom to move around, and the trust and belief from the coach to be able to do that, to make runs in behind,” McKennie said Friday after he and the U.S. men’s national team drew with Ecuador. “I like to be in the box.

Why Edmonton Oilers prospects could fill the net across the hockey world
The Edmonton Oilers are just getting started on the 2025-26 season, but many of the team’s prospects are well into their respective seasons. After years of uneven results, prospects at main camp gave an indication that this season might be different. After an explosive weekend offensively for the AHL Bakersfield Condors, this year’s Oilers prospects appear destined to fill nets across the hockey world. Here’s a look.AdvertisementKHLMaxim BerezkinRussian winger Maxim Berezkin is an intriguing player. A big winger with skill, he’s not quite a power forward but does possess the ability to win pucks. He’s a very good passer and can score goals. Last season was his best, and his playoff run garnered him plenty of attention. He has started this season in the KHL slowly, though.
