Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons was not happy when he caught wind of former NFL linebacker Bart Scott’s comment on his injured teammate, cornerback Trevon Diggs. He certainly wasn’t the only one who was upset.
Diggs’ torn ACL was a hot topic on sports talk shows across the country, including ESPN’s “First Take,” where Scott, Stephen A. Smith, and ex-Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark discussed the impact Diggs’ loss will have on Dallas.
Scott decided to finish his part of the segment with an interesting comment that did not go over well.
“This is a major, major blow for Dallas, and like Stephen A. says, ‘Just wait, something bad always happens,'” Scott said.
Stefon Diggs, who is Trevon’s brother, took to Twitter and fired back at Scott.
“Bart Scott. Like what did you gain from that? Other than looking like a (clown),” Diggs tweeted.

Diggs, who injured his left knee during a 1-on-1 drill in practice, was spotted with crutches on Thursday and an MRI later confirmed it was a torn ACL that will keep him sidelined until the 2024 season.
Diggs just signed a five-year, $97 million extension with the Cowboys, which included a $21.25 million signing bonus and $42.304 million guaranteed.
He was off to a hot start with one interception, three passes defended, one forced fumble, and four tackles to help lead Dallas to a 2-0 record.
The Cowboys will rely on players like Jourdan Lewis and DaRon Bland to fill the big void in the secondary.
