Is Darius Slay's appearance on rival Micah Parsons' podcast a problem?

James Jones is not a fan of Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay doing a podcast episode together. Actually not at all.

On Tuesday's episode of FS1's “The Facility,” the co-host and former Green Bay Packers wideout shared his thoughts on the NFC East rivals appearing on “The Edge with Micah Parsons” podcast, concluding with a very blunt statement: “I hate everything about it.”

“The competitive nature of our game is increasing,” Jones told co-hosts Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy and Chase Daniel.

“Everyone's worried about that fame, the glory and all that. Nobody's worried about the competition anymore… There are no rivalries in football,” Jones continued.

The Super Bowl XLV champion went on to recall the way rival players acted “back in the day.” He shared a few stories from older players, including former NFL defensive back-turned-Packers scout Sam Seale, about being ready to face a nemesis.

“I always remember the old school players… they all used to say, 'Man, we were awesome'… They were right – they were a lot more dogs than us. They played much harder! A lot more rivalries. A lot more competition,” Jones said.

“I had a conversation with Sammy Seale,” Jones continued. “He said, 'I used to grow my fingernails long because the receiver had scratches all over his neck at the end of the game.'”

A sign of respect that has been popularized by the newer generation of players in many sports is exchanging jerseys after a competitive game.

For Jones, this gesture is just one of the reasons there are no rivalries in the NFL anymore.

“It’s just different these days, man… we try to swap jerseys. The backup quarterbacks swap jerseys…running backs…the punters. There are no rivalries in the league, not anymore… I know it sounds crazy, but it starts with that stuff here,” Jones said.

One thing Jones fears about the Parsons-Slay podcast collaboration is that it will serve as a gateway to changing the way competitors retrospectively see and talk about each other. In his eyes, this will harm the competitiveness of the game.

“So you're basically telling me… Slay on your podcast… he went out here and picked up Dak Prescott three times and stuff… You'll probably be on your podcast next week saying, 'Man, my dog, Slay was on mine.' Podcast. He had a great game.'”

“This is crazy to me. I hate everything about it because the competition and all that, to be honest in our game I think it's going down,” Jones concluded.
