Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons caught wind of former NFL linebacker Bart Scott's comment on his injured teammate, cornerback Trevon Diggs, and didn't hold back in his response.
Diggs' torn ACL put a damper on the red-hot Cowboys' start to the season. The Pro Bowl corner will miss the remainder of the season.
Diggs 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 sparked immediate pushback from Smith and Clark.

"This is a major, major blow for Dallas, and like Stephen A. always said, ‘Just wait, something bad always happens,’" Scott said.
Clark quickly interjected, saying, "No, don’t start that, don’t start that."
