Micah Parsons left the Dallas Cowboys in a trade to the Green Bay Packers and became the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. The contract followed turbulent negotiations and bad decisions by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones despite Parsons entering the prime of his career. Parsons made a voice acting debut on the revived King of the Hill, playing himself as an active Cowboys member and coaching fans at a training camp. A character named Willow expresses hatred for Jerry Jones and is shown defecating on a photo of Jones, which an animated Jones later notices. The episode premiered August 4 and is streaming on Hulu.
This week, NFL defensive end Micah Parsons achieved a true touchdown of a new deal, leaving the Dallas Cowboys to join the Green Bay Packers in a trade that makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. The deal followed some turbulent negotiations and bad choices by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, given that Parsons is a standout player just entering the prime of his career.
A few weeks earlier, Parsons also made his voice acting debut in an episode of the revived King of the Hill - playing himself, as an active member of the Cowboys team. In the episode, Bobby (Pamela Adlon) and Hank (Mike Judge) get to attend a Cowboys training camp with Bobby's new girlfriend Willow (Allegra Edwards), who has a personal connection to the team - and a deep hatred for that "piece-of-shit Jerry Jones."
Parsons' presence in the episode is pretty limited: He's the coach for the fans attending training camp, with just a few lines, none of which are in the scenes mentioned above. It's very unlikely that his cameo has anything to do with these negotiations, but it does make "Any Given Hill-Day," which premiered with the rest of the season on August 4th, a fascinating, if now out-of-date, pop culture artifact.
