It's sure to be a spicy one at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night, as Packers linebacker Micah Parsons returns to Dallas for his first game against the Cowboys since the bombshell trade that sent him to Green Bay in August.

Ahead of the contest, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones sat down with NBC's Maria Taylor and Jason Garrett, where we actually got his live reaction to Parsons taking the field for warmups.

"Well, of course, I've seen that trot and seen him run out like that for four straight years. So I've seen it," Jones said as Parsons ran out. "The green and gold is a little problem for me, looking at it. But I have to think about the kinds of consideration that we got on the trade. That's the way I've always done it.

"It might not be that Christmas that the bicycle got under the tree. But thinking ahead, you could have a motorcycle under that thing."

Watch that below:

Jones's metaphor, however clunky, is in keeping with his previous comments surrounding the deal: Dallas plans to use the picks they acquired in this trade to get players of the same caliber as Parsons in the future. As for the earlier piece of the quote, he didn't seem to realize that he is the reason Parsons is wearing the green and gold uniform, but alas.

"Micah is outstanding and rare," Jones continued later. "But I believe our best chance for a Super Bowl with Dak Prescott and the makeup of our supporting cast, I believe our best chance is in the numbers. I've always been right, or had the best chance of being right, when the numbers were right."

Only time will tell if this was truly a franchise-altering move on Jones's part. But it's very possible that Parsons proves his former GM wrong in the short term with a Packers win on Sunday night.
