Micah Parsons has been a hot topic lately, whether it’s over his contract extension talks or his beef with teammate DeMarcus Lawrence. The Cowboys’ LB seems to be in the spotlight nonstop. And recently, he’s been spending quite a bit of time on X. With so much focus on him, it wasn’t long before his latest post caught the attention of fans, sparking a wave of reactions. This time, it was not about football or his contract talks, though. 

Here’s the tea. On Saturday, Duke was set to play Houston in the Final Four of the men’s NCAA Tournament. Parsons was rooting for the Blue Devils, and the game was initially going in their favor. In what felt like the national championship game was already within reach for Duke, everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor when the Cougars made a comeback in the final moments.

Duke’s heartbreaking loss to Houston, 70-67, left Micah Parsons in disbelief. The Cowboys star couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched his favorite team collapse in the final moments. In his frustration, Parsons turned to X, expressing his heartbreak with a post saying, “I ain’t been this sad in a long time bruh wtf!!” Just before the game began, Parsons had been fully behind the Blue Devils, showing his support for freshman superstar Cooper Flagg with a X post: “Cooper Flagg!!! Let’s go, Duke!” Sadly for Micah, that post didn’t age well as the Cougars pulled off a stunning comeback. 

Parsons wasn’t the only one left in shock after Duke’s loss. Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes also couldn’t quite process what had just happened. Reacting to the unexpected defeat, Mahomes simply posted “crazy!!” on X, echoing the disbelief of many. But Mahomes’s reaction didn’t get the same attention as Parsons’s. After his post, it wasn’t long before people started chiming in with some familiar jabs about the Cowboys’ playoff struggles. It’s interesting how quickly things can spiral. 

Parsons backs Duke, fans clap back with Cowboys jabs

In the 2023 season, the Cowboys lost to the Packers (32-48) in the Wild Card round. While this had nothing to do with Duke’s loss, a user decided to throw a bit of shade by posting a screenshot of that game under Micah Parsons’ heartbreak post. It didn’t take long for netizens to turn Parsons’s emotional reaction into a full-on jab-throwing session. One user even commented, “Duke choke job almost feels as inevitable as the Cowboys one every year.” Ouch! It seems the internet never misses an opportunity to stir up a little drama.

Another user didn’t hold back either, predicting the Cowboys’ downfall for the upcoming season. They wrote, “Wait till around week 8 of the NFL season, and playoffs already off the table.” It looks like the Cowboys’ playoff woes are still on everyone’s mind, even when the focus is on basketball. Another netizen’s comment read, “Slay got you, other teams are cooking you, even some Cowboys fans are frying you, looks like everyone’s joining in on the fun. Crazy spread of L’s for the podcast boy. 😂” That felt like all comments wrapped in one.

One user chimed in, reminding Parsons of the Cowboys’ recent playoff struggles, “Brother, y’all almost let up 50 at home in the playoffs against a 7-seed barely over a year ago.” Well, as the memes and jabs kept rolling in, it’s clear that sports fans don’t miss an opportunity to poke fun, no matter the situation.

Honestly, Parsons was just expressing his disappointment, and the internet wasted no time roasting him real quick.
