Cowboys' Micah Parsons Conducts 'Private Green Light' Meeting With Owner Jerry Jones
Cowboys' Micah Parsons Conducts 'Private Green Light' Meeting With Owner Jerry Jones originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
FRISCO — Micah Parsons didn't do much, if anything, on the field for the Dallas Cowboys during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp opening here at The Star.

But he did do one thing for certain: He met with team owner Jerry Jones.
As the Cowboys take on a new tone under first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer, the team had 100-percent attendance on this first day of minicamp.
Among those present? Cowboys defensive star Micah Parsons.
Originally, Micah hoped to have his extension signed and done months ago ... maybe to the tune of five years and $200 million.
That hasn't happened, despite a series of one-on-one meetings between Parsons and either Jerry or Stephen Jones.
But on Tuesday came yet another meeting ... and while the conversation between Micah and Jerry was private?

We did get to see it unfold from the sidelines at practice.
Micah told us afterward that contract talks were not central to the visit.
And he continues to maintain patience, it seems.
'I'm still hanging tight,'' he said. "I understand it's up to (him). He gives the green light on everything. So hopefully something is done by next month.'
What's "next month''? On July 20, the Cowboys will make their yearly pilgrimage to Oxnard, California, for training camp. Parsons said he plans to be in attendance though his level of participation might depend on how negotiations progress.
"Yeah, some people like to take their time more than others you can't rush the process,'' Parsona said. "(Jerry) wants the deal to go as cleanly as possible. I want the deal to go as cleanly as possible."

How will this thing get done?
In the end, more "private'' meetings ...
And then one final "green light'' from Jerry Jones.

Angel Reese's ‘Mebounds' Trademark Sparks Reaction After Low First-Half Rebound Total
Angel Reese's 'Mebounds' Trademark Sparks Reaction After Low First-Half Rebound Total originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese led the WNBA in rebounds per game during her rookie season with 13.1, and it's clear she's continued her success on the boards this year. She entered Saturday's game against the Phoenix Mercury once again leading the league, averaging 11.7 rebounds per game. Advertisement With rebounding as her clear strength, all eyes are on her each time she steps on the floor to battle for boards. However, fans have argued that most of her rebounds come from her own misses. They've even gone as far as calling them "Mebounds" instead of rebounds. Reese found it funny and instead of taking it personally, opted to capitalize on it. Last Saturday, she filed a trademark for "Mebounds" and has since announced a new line of merchandise. Fans responded on social media during the Sky's game against the Mercury after Reese finished the first half with just one rebound, as Chicago trailed 58-43. Chicago Sky forward Angel Krzaczynski-Imagn Images "Imagine trademarking a dumb (expletive) name like Mebounds and only having one in two quarters at 6'3. Angel Reese is (expletive) bro," one fan said. Advertisement "'Mebounds' only -13 points while on the floor just in the first half. Somebody needs to coach her before she becomes a full fledged bricklayer," another wrote. "Angel Reese made a whole (expletive) brand about Mebounds and you got 1 at half smh holy air ball," added a fan. "I don't think this girl has hit her rebounds line since the whole 'mebounds' (expletive)," one said. "already -13 while on the floor just in the first half. Needs a coach that will bench her (expletive) every time she rebounds and go back for another miss put back. Grab the rebound and pass it back out to a teammate for a clean look," a fan added. Advertisement "Mebound 'huh,'" one wrote.

Alex Rodriguez says a ring is key to Judge's New York Legacy
Alex Rodriguez says a ring is key to Judge's New York Legacy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Alex Rodriguez didn't hesitate when asked who currently holds the crown in New York sports. 'That's easy,' A-Rod said on Evan and Tiki Show Friday on WFAN. 'Whoever wins the championship first.' Advertisement The question between Aaron Judge or Jalen Brunson might seem like a toss-up depending on your sport. But for Rodriguez, who knows a thing or two about New York expectations, the math is simple: rings rule. That led to a familiar conversation about pressure, postseason legacy, and what Judge still has left to prove. 'He's such an amazing player,' Rodriguez said of the Yankees captain. 'It's just going to take one postseason, and he's going to be off to the races.' Former Yankee Alex Rodriqquez© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Rodriguez, who struggled wearing pinstripes in October until his 2009 playoff breakout, said it's impossible not to feel the weight of postseason expectations in New York, no matter how much athletes pretend they don't. Advertisement 'As an athlete, I'd say, 'Oh, I don't listen to any of that,' right? But the truth is, of course you do,' Rodriguez said. 'It's so loud and everywhere you look—the back page, the front page.' Judge is hitting .202 in 58 career playoff games with 16 home runs and 86 strikeouts. He's had moments—a home run off Shane Bieber in 2020, the ALDS power surge in 2017—but he hasn't put together the kind of signature October that sticks. Rodriguez pointed to his own experience in 2004 as a turning point. 'We got to Game 5 against Boston, and some people were saying I was going to be MVP of the series,' he said. 'Then we lose one, lose two… and the rest is history.' For Judge, the script hasn't flipped yet. But A-Rod believes it can. Advertisement 'One run, that's all it takes,' he said.
