4. The Dallas Cowboys Jokes

Of course, every award show has to have jokes. Host Keegan-Michael Key was throwing shots at anyone he could. He took digs at Urban Meyer, Bill Belichick, and, of course, the Cowboys. Here are some of the funnier moments from the NFL Honors.

Keegan-Michael Key roasts Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy with Sean Payton joke

Key said he wanted to congratulate his friend Sean Payton on retiring from coaching. He followed that with, “Sean will now return to his true passion… finding a way to take Mike McCarthy’s job.” It was funny. But it was definitely awkward given Jones, Prescott, and Parsons were there.

Micah Parsons’ son missed his award speech because he needed a “potty break”

In his speech, Parsons thanked his family and said his son is “here,” but had to take a potty break. They then cut to his empty seat.

Dak Prescott singing in the opening monologue

Key sang a song about being excited about being back. He had different audience members participate, including Prescott. It was a bit about refs ruining the night. Please enjoy the quarterback’s attempt to sing.

Micah Parsons’ son Malcolm steals the show

Not only were they wearing matching outfits, but the little guy was given his own microphone to blabber random thoughts into. It was quite cute.

5. The Memorable Quotes

While the evening was very fun, there were some sentimental and nice. Here’s a look at those:

Micah Parsons’ DROY Acceptance Speech

Despite knowing he won the award unanimously, Parsons remained humble. He made sure to shout out Penn State, his family, Cowboys Nation. He also made sure to shout out his hometown of Harrisburg, PA, saying “this is hope that we can all do it one day.”

Michael Irvin helps recognizes Carl Nassib for his impact on the LGBTQ+ community

For a man who is normally vocal and opinionated, this was a nice moment for Michael Irvin. He spoke about learning that his own brother was gay and honored Raiders Carl Nassib for coming out this year and working closely with The Trevor Project.
