Micah Parsons\u2019 prank call on his Dallas Cowboys head coach did not go as most fans were probably expecting.<\/p>\n
This week, Parsons hopped on the TikTok trend wherein a grown man calls his friends to wish them goodnight. The trend has reached the NFL, with some players calling their teammates to wish them a peaceful slumber. More often than not, the reactions have been a mix of hilarity and bewilderment.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys star first called teammates Tyler Smith, Trevon Diggs, Osa Odighizuwa, KaVontae Turpin. Many of them clearly knew what was going on and either burst out laughing or straight-up mentioned TikTok. But when Parsons called Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys coach did not seem to have a clue.<\/p>\n
The prank call turned into a very wholesome exchange between player and coach.<\/p>\n
Parsons: \u201cI just wanted to say good night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schottenheimer: \u201cI love that, bro. What\u2019s going on? Y\u2019all good?\u201d<\/p>\n
Parsons: \u201cHell yeah. I just feel like, player to coach, checking in on you, mentally. Say good night. Hope fam\u2019s well. See you Monday. Excited to run at you. Just a good night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schottenheimer: \u201cGood, man. I know this is weird for everybody, man. But you\u2019re handling it the right way, bro. This thing\u2019s going to get worked out. Again, I\u2019m thrilled to see where we take this thing. We\u2019re building something special, and you\u2019re going to be a huge part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons then asked Schottenheimer to take a \u201cSchotty,\u201d referring to a shot of alcohol, as a nightcap. The veteran coach replied that he already had a drink in hand as they spoke.<\/p>\n
Parsons is in the middle of negotiating his contract extension with the Cowboys, which is what Schottenheimer was referencing when he said that Micah was \u201chandling it the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The unfinished contract talks may have been one reason Schottenheimer was extra nice to Parsons on the call. But the 51-year-old still deserves some kudos for reciprocating the love Parsons showed him, even if it was just for TikTok views.<\/p>\n
Cowboys fans probably shouldn\u2019t expect Parsons to call team owner Jerry Jones next, given how Jones recently disrespected Parsons\u2019 agent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
