Congratulations To The Dallas Cowboys, Who Micah Parsons Declares Have Already Won Next Year's Super Bowl
The NFL is in the business of making money. I get that. And their main source of profit comes from having 272 total games being played throughout the season. With that being said...it seems like we can just go ahead and cancel all of them.
Didn't you hear? The Dallas Cowboys have already won the Super Bowl next year. Micah Parsons said so. Don't believe him? Too frickin' bad. He's being saying his prayers out loud, and he's saying his goals out loud. He's not just keeping them to himself. He said them out loud. Boom. Has to happen now.
I don't know why it rubs me the wrong way so much, but I absolutely detest this new mindset of "speaking things into existence". This isn't the first blog I've written on the subject. There's this idea out there right now that as long as you say the things you want to happen in life out loud, that they'll come to be. Which is complete and utter fucking nonsense. It makes less sense than chicks who believe in astrology. Why would saying anything out loud have any sort of significant impact on the result you're wishing to achieve? It drives me nuts to hear people talk this way, as if turning up the volume on their goals is going to change the fact that the Dallas Cowboys lost by a combined score of 75-13 to the Philadelphia Eagles this year.
Dak Prescott is going to be 32 next season coming off of the 2nd major lower body injury of his career. Jerry Jones is going to be 150-years-old next season and still making every single decision in that building, from roster construction to when guys are allowed to use the potty. Mike McCarthy is likely going to be back as the head coach. But all of that is going to be off-set by the fact that Micah Parsons is saying out loud that Dallas is going to be holding that trophy at the end of next season. So congratulations are in order for the Cowboys.
