data-mm-id=”_672ugevo9″>Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parson has developed into one of the NFL's best defenders and has gotten a pretty sweet nickname to go along with his stardom. No one knows who started calling Parsons "lion" but it has stuck. He's even worked it into a celebration. On Sunday he wore a lion costume to the Cowboys' showdown with the Los Angeles Rams and declared he'd be fine wearing it in public.Here's Parson's lion celebration:Micah Parsons also said he’s trying to find a nickname for the lion crawl sack celebration. “If you got anything for it, hit me up … I might give you 1%.”pic.twitter.com/8ROerA67uq— Joseph Hoyt (@JoeJHoyt) September 20, 2023And here's the costume he wore on Sunday:Is Micah Parsons going to wear this out in public? “Hell, yeah. What are they gonna say to me?” pic.twitter.com/dPn23bIXiJ— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) October 29, 2023And another look:After Cowboys’ win over Rams, Micah Parsons said he is headed to a pumpkin patch with his 5-year-old son Malcolm. Parsons was asked if he’ll wear his lion Halloween costume in public. “Hell yeah. What are they going to say to me?” Includes new custom chain of sack celebration. pic.twitter.com/BJtT95kiRE— Michael Gehlken (@GehlkenNFL) October 29, 2023As a Penn State product, Parsons was already a Nittany Lion, so maybe this is the next step in his evolution. But yeah, I mean who is going to go up to Parsons and make fun of him for wearing a lion outfit? Only an idiot looking to get lit up would do such a thing. I also think it would be great if this wasn't a Halloween costume and he just walks around like this every week. He should fully embrace it.

Jakub Blaszczykowski believes that Borussia Dortmund s derby clashes with Schalke are the most important fixtures of the season.
The reigning Bundesliga champions head into the crunch match on Saturday on the back of a 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, which secured their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Juergen Klopp s men lost 2-1 to Schalke earlier this season, and Blaszczykowski is refusing to let the 10-point gap between Dortmund in second place in the Bundesliga and their rivals in sixth give the team a false sense of security.
The derby games are always a bit special. It’s an important game for us here, the most important of the season, the attacking midfielder told Bundesliga.com.

Slaven Bilic believes West Ham could benefit from sending Enner Valencia out on loan to Everton after an injury-hit 2015-16 season.
The Ecuador forward joined the Hammers after impressing at the 2014 World Cup, and scored five goals in each of his two full seasons with the club.
However, with Valencia starting just 10 league games last term due to a number of fitness concerns, he has now made a temporary switch to Everton in order to find his best form.
And Bilic is satisfied that West Ham have managed to find an outcome that suits both the club and one of its key men.
I like Enner as a player and when I was coming to the club I marked him as one of our key players, he told the club s official website.
I rate him highly and he knows that. His la…
Wolfsburg left-back Ricardo Rodriguez has extended his contract with the Bundesliga club until 2019.
The Switzerland international s deal at the Volkswagen Arena had been due to expire in 2016.
Premier League side Manchester United have previously been linked with a move for Rodriguez, but he was now committed his future to Dieter Hecking s men.
A talented attacking full-back, Rodriguez has proven to be a useful goal threat for Wolfsburg since joining from Swiss Super League side Zurich in January 2012.
Rodriguez has scored 13 goals in his Wolfsburg career and will be aiming to add to that tally in the second half of the Bundesliga season.
Wolfsburg are second and trail leaders and defending champions Bayern Munich by 11 points, a gap they can …

Looking to keep up their recent momentum at Anfield, defending champions Liverpool will host Brighton from behind closed doors on Wednesday night.
Liverpool
Starting with the hosts, while Liverpool might have found themselves enduring a concerning five-match Premier League winless run last month, there is no doubt that the mood in their camp should be on the rise. Appearing to have refound their form over the past week, Jurgen Klopp s side really capitalized on the slip-ups around them. Putting in another eye-catching display over the weekend in another trip to the capital, the defending champions cruised their way to a 3-1 romp at a high-flying West Ham on Sunday afternoon. Managing to build off of that thumping display away at Spur…
Belgium international Nacer Chadli has joined Anderlecht on a season-long loan from Ligue 1 side Monaco.
The 30-year-old arrived at the Stade Louis II from West Brom ahead of the 2018-19 campaign but was restricted to just 22 appearances in all competitions.
