A sports broadcast was about to notch up things with an active NFL athlete in the mix. Cowboys’ Micah Parsons sparked in the news after FS1’s UNDISPUTED hyped him like a mainstay. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year would be a weekly guest on the show. However, the linebacker did not show up at the broadcast. Parsons gave out his reason he chose not to come up.

The Undisputed set the star linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys to have a weekly spot on the show. Skip Bayless tweeted that the initial Tuesday after Week 1 would mark the start of Parsons’ recurring visits. However, the columnist claimed the LB went dead silent on the network this week before what was supposed to be his first appearance.

The Athletic’s John Machota spoke to the athlete, who gave out some explanation. He mentioned, “My starting QB went down and we lost, I just didn’t think it was appropriate for me to be on the show at that point. I need to step up and be a leader. It shouldn’t be on TV, it should be in this locker room.”

As per New York Post, Bayless commented on the installation of equipment at Parsons’ residence in Dallas. They also made a huge declaration to convey their joy. But yesterday, they couldn’t reach the LB all day. Then, when evening approached, they couldn’t reach out to any of his staff.

The no-show comes after the Cowboys‘ crushing loss at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the co-hosts still think Parsons would join them further in the season.

HOF TE is not happy over Micah Parsons ghosting the show

The fans tuning into FS1 to watch Micah Parsons going into a full analytical mode were left unhappy. But Hall of Famer and co-host Shannon Sharpe went critical over the linebacker after he went MIA. Sharpe was looking forward to his arrival as he is a fantastic player. Moreover, having Parsons’ perspective on the previous Sunday game would have been crucial.

However, the Hall of Famer then restated his viewpoint. He hoped Parsons had acted a little more polite in postponing the event rather than turning radio silence.
