PackersMicah Parsons Says He Ignored Girlfriend for Two Days After Board-Game Loss

He offered the lighthearted example to explain his intense dislike of losing ahead of Green Bay’s Thanksgiving game against the Lions.

Overview

  • Parsons told reporters he once gave his girlfriend the silent treatment for about two days after she beat him at Scattergories, saying he “hates to lose.”
  • He joked the only time he’s a “primadonna” is during board games, a remark shared by beat writer Matt Schneidman on X after Tuesday’s media session.
  • Parsons linked his off-field competitiveness to his on-field edge for Green Bay and said he constantly works to evolve as opponents study his film.
  • Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley praised Parsons’ relentless energy as the Packers visit the Lions on Thanksgiving at Ford Field.
  • Coverage frames the matchup as significant for the NFC North race, with one outlet noting a Green Bay win would put the Packers a half-game ahead, and it also notes Parsons arrived via a pre-season trade from Dallas before signing a major extension.
