Does Micah Parsons need to stop the distractions caused by certain podcasts and his media comments?

The short answer is no. However, Parsons should be mindful of how the media can portray his words as star player during post-game interviews and on his podcast. No one should want Parsons to stop being himself, as his personality has played a key role in his success as a football player.

But it's when or if his comments begin to negatively impact the locker room, then that's when he should reconsider the influence of his podcast.
