"Hide your wallets" "Bad omen": NFL fans react as Brett Favre arrives in Cowboys stadium for Micah Parsons and Packers' showdown vs. Dallas

Brett Favre made a surprise appearance at the AT&T Stadium as Micah Parsons returns to Dallas for a showdown with Jerry Jones' Cowboys. The Hall of Fame quarterback has famously never won a game in Dallas during his career, but showed up tonight to cheer on Green Bay.

NFL fans wasted no time letting their feelings fly.

“Hide your wallets,” one fan tweeted, a not-so-subtle shot at Favre’s alleged ties to the Mississippi welfare funds scandal.

Another piled on with, “Trying his best to dodge those accusations.”

One more wrote, “Did he pay for his own tickets or did he use Welfare funds from Mississippi?”

Others turned the focus back to football and Favre's winless status in Jerry World.

“Bad omen,” one X user tweeted.

“Make sure he leaves his W-L record in Dallas at the door,” another joked.

One Cowboys fan simply relished the visit, saying, “Good. We always beat his a**.”

Meanwhile, Parsons is making Green Bay feel like home. FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer reported the two-time first-team All-Pro hosted his Packers teammates at his Dallas house Saturday night. Parsons will also serve as a team captain on Sunday.

Micah Parsons gets honest on sacking Dak Prescott during Dallas return

Parsons is bracing for an emotional homecoming when his Green Bay Packers face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The two-time All-Pro edge rusher insists sacking old friend Dak Prescott will feel different.

“It’s going to be painful,” Parsons told reporters (via AP News). “That’s my guy. He was always like a good mentor for me. But you know how it is, he always told me if I ever faced him that it’ll be a great matchup, so I’m excited to see what Sunday brings itself.”

Parsons helped Dallas reach back-to-back playoff appearances before his August trade. The primetime showdown pits his 2-1 Packers against the 1-2 Cowboys.

“I accepted my fate weeks ago when the trade happened,” Parsons said via NBC News. “For me, it’s just all about playing another game and doing what I do best, being a disruptive football player.”

He has not let the media faze him.

“I think the media and the fans are trying to blow it up to be such a big thing,” Parsons added. "I just look at it as another game at AT&T.”

Still, Sunday night’s clash carries plenty of juice, with friends turned foes.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
