(Parody) Former Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey sues NFL in defamation suit


Disgraced Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey is suing the NFL and the Chicago Bears for discrimination. 

Parkey missed a game-winning field goal after getting iced by Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Doug Peterson during the Bears-Eagles Wild Card Game on January 6, 2019.

The Bears lost 16-15.

Since then, Parkey has been cut by the Bears organization and hasn’t found a team willing to take him.

“Sure I know I’m not a good football player anymore, but that doesn’t mean NFL teams can’t hire me,” Parkey said at a news conference after clearing out his locker at Soldier Field. “I deserve to make millions of dollars just by making a fool of myself hitting the uprights.” 

Parkey filed the defamation suit nearly two months after his last game in a Bears jersey. In the suit, he claims that the McCaskey Family (owners of the Chicago Bears) and other NFL owners and coaches conspired to not sign him. 

Specifically, Parkey named Eagles Head Coach Doug Peterson as a co-defendant in the suit, claiming Peterson conspired to destroy his confidence and playing skill after calling a timeout before Parkey made a successful field goal. 

“I made the first field goal attempt on the last drive of the game,” Parkey said. “It would have been good if [Coach] Peterson hadn’t iced me. Then I miss the second attempt and now I’m the most hated guy in Chicago.

“Coach Peterson is responsible for ruining my career and I’ll make him pay for it,” Parkey added. 

It’s unclear if the NFL will settle with Parkey outside of court, especially after giving anti-American quarterback Colin Kaepernick over $21 million in damages. 

Parkey is just one of dozens of ex-NFL players suing the league because no team will has offered them contracts, claiming that NFL owners are conspiring against them.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
