    Before his trade request, Micah Parsons closed on a new house in Dallas this summer. It was his dream to play for the Cowboys. He told Jordan Love he was a “for lifer.” As he returns to Dallas, why he couldn’t be happier getting “fresh air” with #Packers.

    I picked Arizona for the Final 4. My 3 children each picked Buffalo. Because they thought buffalos were cool. I hate March.

    #Packers D front didn’t sack Bryce Young, but Micah Parsons made fair point on pass rush. Young hit 11-20 for 102 yards, and GB still lost. “If we lose a game like that in the NFL, we just didn’t play good. Not too many quarterbacks are throwing for 100 yards and winning.”

    Tucker Kraft says tonight was the first time in his life he’s caught 100 yards in a game. His thoughts on a lifetime high? “We’ve got practice on Monday.” It’s into the next:

    #Packers were without their top 3 WRs, top 2 CBs, All-Pro LT, All-Pro pass rusher, starting center and defensive coordinator and just beat the NFL‘s last undefeated team 24-21. On the road. On a short week. Best win of the Matt LaFleur era.

    Micah Parsons doesn’t believe his career-high 3 sacks today was his best game as a pass rusher. He just got more 1v1s than most weeks, something that surprised everyone, Parsons included. “I tell coach all the time, if I’ve got a 1 on 1, I like myself 8 out of 10 times.”

    Even now, Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers text. Last exchange was couple weeks ago. They congratulate each other. Wish each other luck. Rodgers will give QB pointers. Love on their relationship. “Coming into it, I never knew what to expect, but Aaron was great to me all 3 years.”

    To Micah Parsons, it’s not a tie between missing Dallas or being happy he’s with #Packers. Brian Gutekunst called Kenny Clark after trade. Jerry Jones never called him. “The same way he called me in the office as a man, he couldn’t tell me as a man.”

    Rashan Gary on losing Kenny Clark, but adding Micah Parsons. “Dallas has a great player and leader there, and we’ve got one hell of a player. So hell of a player for a hell of a player. Looking at a couple reps that 1 had today, it’s going to be real crazy and scary for teams.”

    Asked Aaron Rodgers if it was good having Allen Lazard back after missing all offseason: “Yeah, I mean, it’s always tough going from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer.” He’s apparently on board the comparison train.

    Josh Sitton with funny anecdote on Mitch Trubisky: "We started to break the huddle early, and he said, ‘Get the f--- back in the huddle, and don’t break it until I break it.’ He kind of cussed at all of us linemen, and I was like, ‘Hell, yeah. I respect the s--- out of that.’

    Brandon McManus, oldest #Packers player by 2 years, says teammates are already calling him “dad” and “uncle.” Not who you expect to try Lambeau Leap, but he made it work. “I always heard it was taller than you think, but this is a historic, historic place. I was super excited.”
