Viral Video: Patriots Legend Tom Brady Tells Cowboys Micah Parsons 'I Don't Owe You S***!'
As many foretold this summer, former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took to an NFL playing surface last Saturday night.
Alas, for those would-be prognosticators the arguably greatest of all time was just visiting Arlington's AT&T Stadium with his new team. Saturday's preseason action served as one of Brady's first public appearances as the minority owner of the Raiders as he watched Las Vegas' game against the Dallas Cowboys.
As Brady met with a new colleague, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, he was "harassed" by Dallas All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons. He loudly declared that Brady "owed" him, to which the quarterback countered with a friendly, yet vulgar response.
"I don't owe you anything!" Brady declared. "You hit me too much. I don't owe you s***!"
It's unknown exactly what Brady would "owe" Parsons, who never faced Brady at the height of his Patriots powers. Brady was the victim of three Parsons sacks when the Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers did battle twice last season, including two in the season opener that served as his springboard toward 13.5 for the season.
Parsons was also part of a Dallas defense that shut down Brady in a Wild Card playoff game in January, sending the quarterback into retirement with a loss.
In addition to his parlay with Parsons, Brady gave his version of a pep talk to the Raiders as they left the pre-game locker room.
"Go ruin (Dallas') night," Brady tells the Raiders' quarterbacks, a group that includes former Foxborough teammate Jimmy Garoppolo.
The black and silver, however, failed to pick up where Brady left off: the Cowboys prevailed in a 31-16 final though backups Aidan O'Connell and Chase Garbers united to complete just over 68 percent of their attempts (22-of-32) for 224 yards and did not turn the ball over.
Dallas would perhaps also be described as property of Brady during his playing career. Between his days as New England and Tampa Bay's franchise thrower, Brady posted a 7-0 record as a starter against America's Team, with two of those wins coming in the team's palatial home in Arlington. The Cowboys, however, got their revenge in the 31-14 victory in Tampa.
Brady's Raiders face the Patriots in Las Vegas on Oct. 15. In the meantime, Las Vegas will open up against the Denver Broncos. Brady, of course, will be honored on "Tom Brady Appreciation Day' when the Pats open the season Sept. 10 at Gillette Stadium.
