Times have changed a lot since Drew Pearson played football.

"Dallas is my home. Made my home there, family lives there, I'm forever gonna be there," he told a reporter this week. "But I know for sure I'm not gonna win a Super Bowl there, so we're here."

Parsons called the comment "clown s--t" and said it was "what rejection and envy look like."

Despite being teammates for four years, Lawrence did not go down easy.

"Calling me a clown won’t change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn’t have left," Lawrence responded.

Pearson was asked by TMZ Sports about the beef, and he kept it real.

"Too much social media," he said. "This would drive Coach [Tom] Landry crazy.
