Will Jerry Jones' comments hurt the Cowboys in Micah Parsons talks?

Video Transcript
Every time Jerry speaks, there's just so much to it.
Man, and so like, Micah Parsons goes on a podcast and makes it clear that, you know, it's complicated negotiating.
His camp wanted to get a deal done.
Then Jerry comes out, calls him Michael Parsons instead, and, and calls him by the wrong name.
He talks about car accidents like, uh, watching the entire press conference.
C. Rob was a car accident.
What the hell is going on in Dallas?
He sat down and rolled into it and you're just sitting there and I, I, it was.
I feel like every opening press conference there's always something, there's always kind of a jaw wagging moment.
But this one was unlike anything I've ever seen.
I've never seen, uh, the first camp fight you have basically started by your owner.
And, you know, he's he's talking about Micah Parsons and, um, you know, making it clear, like, he basically feels like he already negotiated a contract extension directly one on one with Micah Parsons.
Uh, Jerry and Stephen both said they hadn't talked to David Mulugheta, uh, Micah Parsons' agent, despite the fact that Micah Parsons said, I want to do this deal through my agent.
You know, Mulugheta is a heavy hitter.
You don't just blow off this guy, you don't just circumvent him.
He is not that dude.
You don't do that in a press conference to open the season.
There's nothing to gain by a multitude of the things that Jerry Jones said.
But it always seems, on the outside looking in, like the players are just kind of like, it's just Jerry, he's just kind of nuts.
Like, what is that, right?
Like, it never seems like this goes anywhere.
It never seems like guys are walking out of camp or anything.
They're just kind of, throw it kind of shrugged their shoulders like, what do you expect?
You see the guy too?
Like, is that true?
I mean, frankly, money always solves the problems.
That's correct, right?
Like, I mean, uh, you know, it wasn't all rainbows with the CDLAM negotiation.
Um, you know, the Dak Prescott last two negotiations through Todd Fran, I mean, very contentious, you know, at times, you know, especially behind the scenes.
I think there was a ton of frustration, um, when it came to the Cowboys, but they opened the pocketbook.
That's the thing.
And, and, you know, particularly when it comes to the superstars, they always put them, if they're not at the top of the pile, they're real close, and that tends to, to resolve things.
So, you know, to me, the only way this really truly gets nasty is if Micah, you know, they put the pads on and things start to get physical, and Micah says, I'm just, I should probably leave, you know, I should probably not be here right now for this.
If I'm not going to be out there in the pads and I'm gonna do a hold in, it might as well just be a straight holdout.
If that happens, I'm not saying that turns not possible, but if that happens, um, then I think this, this tends to get a little nastier.

Misiorowski gets his first shot at the Cubs as NL Central co-leaders begin huge series in Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski already has won matchups with Paul Skenes and Clayton Kershaw and has pitched in the All-Star Game since reaching the major leagues six weeks ago. So forgive the 23-year-old if he isn't getting overly caught up in the atmosphere surrounding his first matchup with the NL Central-rival Chicago Cubs — even though the two teams share the National League's best record at 62-43. 'I know it's a division rival so it's going to be fun, but there's nothing different than a normal day,' Misiorowski said. That's a typical approach for the 6-foot-7 right-hander. Misiorowski says he spends the days before a start focusing more on himself and making sure he's physically ready than worrying about the hitters he's going to face. 'I don't really prepare for an opponent,' he said. 'I just prepare my body for a game. I don't think I'm looking ahead at who's going to be there. It's just about making myself ready.' Both teams are ready for a major test this week. Tuesday's pitching matchup features Colin Rea (8-4, 4.08 ERA) for the Cubs and Quinn Priester (9-2, 3.28) for the Brewers. Wednesday's scheduled starters are Chicago's Shota Imanaga (7-4, 3.12) and Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (12-4, 2.81). 'Look, it's two teams that are playing really well, that have postseason aspirations,' Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. 'Obviously, it feels like we're going to be battling for the division. So, you know, it's still July, but these are big games.' The Cubs lead the season series 3-2 and won two of three in Milwaukee from May 2-4. This marks the last time these teams will square off in Milwaukee this season, though they have a five-game series at Wrigley Field from Aug. 18-21. American Family Field generally has a little more energy when the Cubs are in town. The large number of Cubs fans capitalizing on the short drive from Chicago often results in about a 50-50 split in the crowd. This series got even spicier after Counsell, a Milwaukee-area native and the winningest manager in Brewers history, left for the Cubs following the 2023 season. Counsell has been showered with boos whenever his name has been mentioned each time he's managed the Cubs in Milwaukee. Brewers manager Pat Murphy was a bench coach on Counsell's staff in Milwaukee. When Counsell played college baseball at Notre Dame, Murphy was his coach. The two men remain friendly even while managing division rivals in the majors. Now they're meeting with the NL Central lead on the line. 'It's going to be fun,' Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff said. 'I don't care if it's a Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday series. It's going to be packed. It's going to be loud. It's going to be a playoff-like feeling, which is good for us. It's a good test for us, to kind of see where we're at.' This didn't look like a particularly competitive race for much of the year. The Brewers struggled to get above .500 for the first two months of the season and were 6 1/2 games behind the Cubs as recently as June 18. But they're 23-8 since that date, while the Cubs have gone 17-15. 'Obviously, they've played really great baseball here, especially lately,' Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner said. 'Add in two other teams over .500 I think (Cincinnati is 56-50 and St. Louis is 54-53), and it's a strong division right now. Obviously, that's why you need 162 games to really see the test of it.' They've won in different ways. The Cubs entered Sunday with a .445 slugging percentage that ranked second in the majors — behind only the New York Yankees — while Milwaukee was 23rd at .384. Yet both teams were in the top eight in scoring, with the Cubs second and the Brewers eighth. Both teams love to run, as they entered Sunday tied for second in the majors in steals. This series features two of the game's bright young outfield stars in Chicago's Pete Crow-Armstrong and Milwaukee's Jackson Chourio, who is on a 20-game hitting streak. Milwaukee's edge is its extraordinary starting rotation depth. The Brewers entered Sunday with a 3.59 ERA that ranked fourth in the majors, while the Cubs were 15th at 3.89. Milwaukee's pitching staff got a big boost when Misiorowski burst onto the scene last month. Now he gets his first taste of the Brewers-Cubs rivalry. Woodruff isn't surprised that Misiorowski doesn't seem fazed by the challenge. 'This kid throws 102 (mph),' Woodruff said. 'If I was him, I wouldn't be scared of nothing.' ___ AP Baseball Writer Jay Cohen contributed to this report. ___ AP MLB:

Guardians to chase after Orioles All-Star at deadline?
Despite the rocky rollercoaster that has been their 2025 season, the Cleveland Guardians are still very much in contention in the AL Wild Card race, despite hovering around the .500 mark at this point in the season. This situation puts them in an interesting position as the trade deadline is about to hit, almost like this odd hybrid between buying and selling. For those optimistic about the Guardians' playoff shot, they believe that Cleveland will look to add some firepower to their lineup and fully prepare themselves for the home stretch towards the postseason. And according to Cade Cracas of Away Back Gone, one acquisition that could positively benefit those chances would be that of Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins. An All-Star and Silver Slugger in 2021, Mullins and the Orioles are not on the playoff radar at this point in time, sitting dead last in the American League East with a 47-58 record, a lengthy 15.5 games behind the leading Toronto Blue Jays. Mullins would join All-Star Steven Kwan in the outfield, putting two elite gloves out deep for Cleveland. The Orioles outfielder is currently batting .219 with 14 home runs and 45 RBI.
