Even Skip Bayless came to Makai Lemon's defense after Micah Parsons shade

Agreeing with Skip is a weird feeling.

Micah Parsons is probably wishing he had kept his mouth shut. The Packers pass-rusher interviewed Makai Lemon after the Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the first round and threw shade at both Lemon and the organization that drafted him.

"Hey bro, congratulations. You had me at everything but 'the greatest organization' bro, I was trying to hold it. I was really trying to hold it," Parsons said to Lemon after he called the Eagles as such.

Le'Veon Bell is one of many people who blasted Parsons for how he handled himself during that interview, but another unlikely source also recently came out in support of Lemon and the Eagles. Add Skip Bayless to the list of people unhappy with Parsons' behavior, as Bayless agreed with Bell's sentiments.

"I don't think I've ever agreed with one thing Le'Veon Bell's ever said but I did agree with what he called this, LAME."

Skip Bayless is even on the Eagles' side in Micah Parsons-Makai Lemon drama

For what it's worth, Lemon didn't appear to be fazed by Parsons and his unprofessional attitude during this exchange. That's exactly what Eagles fans were hoping for from their first-round pick, and he delivered in that moment.

If Parsons wants to be taken seriously as an off-the-field NFL source, he'll need to be better in these situations. He clearly doesn't like the Eagles because of his time in Dallas with the Cowboys, but he's no longer a member of the Cowboys. He was given a chance to interview players as an unbiased host and failed to show he deserved that opportunity.

When Bayless is calling you lame, you know things aren't going well for you, especially considering his ties and obsessions with the Cowboys. Hopefully, Parsons learned from this and can act more professionally in the future, but in the meantime, Eagles fans will continue to roll their eyes at him and his antics.
