Micah Parsons may be one of the
NFL
's most feared defenders, but even he turned into a fan for a moment when he met Tom Brady in person this weekend. At the star-studded Fanatics Fest in New York City, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker finally confronted the retired quarterback — not for a sack, but for a missing Brady jersey he says he's never received.
What followed was a playful but slightly tense exchange that quickly went viral online. Cameras captured the moment Parsons publicly called out Brady, proving even NFL stars have bucket-list fan requests.
Brady's team insists, Parsons pushes back
During the interaction, Brady asked his crew, 'Have we signed one for Micah and sent one his way? A jersey?' His team claimed they had already done so, but Parsons wasn't convinced. 'No, you're lying,' he replied with a smile.
'I've never gotten a jersey. I wouldn't lie to you.'
Parsons pressed further, saying, 'I called you out last year about it.' The defensive star didn't shy away from his disappointment, adding, 'I just want a jersey, bro. Put it in my house.' The exchange highlighted a rare, candid side of two elite athletes normally seen only on the gridiron. Fans watching the clip applauded Parsons' honesty — and Brady's cool-headed response.
From rivals to respect: jersey finally promised
Though the conversation began awkwardly, it ended on a warm note with Brady promising to send a signed jersey to Parsons soon. The light-hearted confrontation marked a full-circle moment — from on-field rivals to mutual respect off the field. Parsons, who sacked Brady in the QB's final career game, now just wants a memory to hang on his wall.

And this time, it wasn't a quarterback under pressure — it was Tom Brady himself.

IND vs ENG 1st Test: 'If he's going to take the sword...' R Ashwin's take on Rishabh Pant's bold batting
Rishabh Pant (Getty Images) Former India spinner R Ashwin has shared his thoughts on Rishabh Pant 's bold batting approach during the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds, noting that while it's entertaining for viewers, it likely causes anxiety in the Indian dressing room. Pant's aggressive century in the second innings has strengthened India's position, setting England a target of 371 runs. Pant's innings began on Day 4 following Shubman Gill's dismissal, with the wicketkeeper-batter initially struggling against England's seamers. Despite early difficulties, including advancing down the track against Chris Woakes, Pant maintained his unconventional approach. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The left-hander attempted several risky shots against Brydon Carse, including a wild slog sweep that fortunately for India carried to the boundary due to wind conditions. He also attempted a scoop shot that resulted in an unsuccessful LBW review by England. — ashwinravi99 (@ashwinravi99) "His modus operandi has always been up for questioning. Against Brydon Carse he played a slog sweep which did not seem like percentage cricket, which Dinesh (Karthik) did mention. Very questionable tactics, but that's the way he's been going about his business," Ashwin said in a video posted on his X account. "If he's going to take the sword, might as well judge him by the performances and not by how he does it. As a fan, as someone watching the game away from close quarters of the dressing room, I am enjoying it. But it could be very nervy sitting in the dressing room if you are a coach, or if you are one of those players who wants to bowl in that fourth innings, it could be really, really tense," Ashwin added. Pant overcame his initial struggles and played more convincingly in the second session, ultimately scoring 118 runs off 140 deliveries. His innings included 15 fours and three sixes, demonstrating his ability to balance aggression with effectiveness. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri also provided insight into Pant's batting approach, emphasising the strategic thinking behind his aggressive style. "People say Pant's batting defies logic but there is an element of a sharp cricket brain behind it. He knows when to counterattack," Shastri remarked. KL Rahul press conference: On his role, being elder brother in team, role clarity and match "It comes off on some occasions and on others it doesn't, but if he had converted some of those seven dismissals in the 90s he would have had a double-digit number of Test hundreds," Shastri added during his analysis after Stumps on Day 4. The match situation at the end of Day 3 saw England at 21-0, beginning their pursuit of the 371-run target set by India. Pant's century has played a crucial role in establishing this challenging target for the hosts. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

IND vs ENG Test: R Ashwin makes huge comment on Yashasvi Jaiswal's slip catching; wants Indian pacers to do one job for Ravindra Jadeja
LEEDS, ENGLAND - JUNE 21: Yashasvi Jaiswal of India during day 2 of the 1st Rothesay Test Match between England and India at Headingley on June 21, 2025 in Leeds, England. (Photo by) Former India spinner R. Ashwin has explained why slip catching is so tough with the Dukes ball in England and has urged the Indian pacers to create rough patches for left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja . 'The second point I want to talk about is the catching — Yashasvi Jaiswal at the slip cordon,' Ashwin said in a video he posted on X. 'There has been some talk about his catching at slip. Yes, he found it tough. But let's all understand something — and cut some slack, which we very often fail to do — how difficult it is to catch, not only in English conditions with cold weather, but also because of the feel of the Dukes ball. It can take some time to adapt. The SG ball feels nice and comfortable in the hand. 'Kookaburra feels smaller. The Dukes is harder and, from a feel perspective, definitely feels bigger. And it's not easy. 'He's been one of the most improved slip fielders that India has had. He's taken some fantastic catches in the recent past, especially in Test cricket. So, we should give him some time.' With England needing 350 runs to win on the final day, the legendary Indian spinner said his former spin-bowling partner can become a threat to the English batters — but he'll need some help from the pacers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo IND vs ENG 1st Test: KL Rahul's grit, Rishabh Pant's fire keep India alive 'And finally, Ravindra Jadeja — can the Indian quick bowlers get some rough going for him? He'll be aiming for that rough patch,' he said. 'A lot of foreign seamers and teams from the western part of the world use long nails in their boots to create extended footmarks so that the spinners can come into play. The Indian team hasn't quite been able to do that. 'Can we do something? Because if the spinner is in play, we've got a huge chance. Awaiting a cracking day. Let's wait and watch.'
