Cowboys Controversial Micah Parsons Trade | HARD PASS Ep. 36

With the kickoff to football season upon us, NFL news on HARD PASS begins today with a shocker: the Dallas Cowboys trade Micah Parsons — but was it secretly the right move? Doug Kezirian breaks down why he thinks Dallas had no choice, Jerry Jones’ mismanagement of the Cowboys, and why trading Micah Parsons was actually the right call — even if Dallas botched the return. Plus, Michael Porter Jr.’s controversial comments comparing WNBA players to high school boys, his brother Johntay’s gambling scandal, and why these debates are toxic for the game and disrespectful to women’s sports.

“Dallas is a dumpster fire – and that’s why trading Micah Parsons actually made sense.” – Doug Kezirian
