There was once a time when Micah Parsons was going to have a weekly spot with Skip Bayless on TV, but their relationship completely deteriorated before it even started.<\/p>\n
Parsons joined comedian Funny Marco on his Open Thoughts podcast this week<\/a>. And the Green Bay Packers linebacker went off on sports media, taking specific aim at Bayless after being asked about his own willingness to speak candidly.<\/p>\n NFL star Micah Parsons GOES OFF Skip Bayless & media personalities for being CONTROLLED and CRITICIZING him while not being able to do what he does \ud83d\ude33\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n \u201cCome play my position Skip\u2026 Cause I can do what you do. I do it better sometimes\u201d \u2014 Killa \ud83c\udf3a (@KillaKreww) February 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI tell people like it is,\u201d Parsons said<\/a> before pivoting to his critics. \u201cThey scared. They scared to voice their opinions. F*ck them. Like, I\u2019ll tell you, f*ck Skip Bayless. F*ck all them. I don\u2019t give a f*ck.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey want to rage bait me,\u201d Parsons continued. \u201cBut they won\u2019t say that to my face. You Twitter finger a** mother*ckers. F*ck them. I don\u2019t give a f*ck. I\u2019ll tell you how it is. You suck. You suck, your show don\u2019t work no more. What are we talking about here? F*ck them\u2026Motherf*ckers be trying to tell you how to play the game. Come play my position, Skip! Cause I can do what you do. Sh*t, I do it better sometimes. So, what are we talking about here?\u201d<\/p>\n Parsons calling Bayless out is notable. Because back in 2022, the All-Pro linebacker was supposed to be a weekly contributor on Undisputed with Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. But Parsons no-showed his first appearance<\/a>, and that seemed to change the way he was covered by Bayless.<\/p>\n Now Parsons has his own podcast, which has already garnered plenty of attention, but Marco asked whether the Green Bay Packers linebacker would consider a role as an NFL analyst on TV whenever the 26-year-old decides to retire.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just depends if they let me be me. I\u2019m not here to instigate no other player or talk back about another player because they had a bad game or whatever,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cIf they want me to be anti-whatever fanbase, I\u2019m good, bro. I\u2019m not no f*cking puppet. A lot of these dudes is puppets for national TV. If you want to be a puppet, be a puppet. But that\u2019s not me, I\u2019m not selling my soul for a check. I\u2019m good.\u201d<\/p>\n There is still a space for NFL analysts who don\u2019t instigate other players or teams in sports media. But based on his own assessment, it sounds like Parsons isn\u2019t actually capable of doing what Skip Bayless does. Because, as Parsons can attest, Bayless made a career out of instigating players, teams, and fanbases. And maybe you don\u2019t like him for that, but he was really good at it.<\/p>\n \t
