Dak Prescott wasn’t thrilled after hearing a driver call the Cowboys’ loss to the Buccaneers “embarrassing” last Thursday, but it was Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’s reaction that really spun heads. Seriously, what a take from the owner’s box.
Prescott’s Postgame Blow-Up
So, here’s what went down: Prescott was walking through an AT&T Stadium tunnel after the game when this driver, who wasn’t even a team employee, decided to chirp him with the “embarrassing” comment. And look, you just know that had to sting after a loss. Prescott shot back, sarcastically calling the guy a “tough guy” before telling him, “get his ass out of here.” Can you blame him? Emotions run high after a tough loss, especially in the heat of the moment like that.
Jerry Jones Says: Deal With It
But then Jerry Jones gets on 105.3 The Fan and basically pulls the rug out from under any player expecting some corporate solidarity. Jones said he “didn’t pay a lot of attention to it” and that it “doesn’t impact me at all.” He straight up said, “Fans can express themselves and and should express themselves.” He didn’t care if the driver was an employee or not, because “he was a fan it sounds like. So, I’m for our fans expressing themselves.” Talk about a cold splash of reality. The rest of Jones’s interview was all about what the team needs to do *on the field* to make those fan expressions “a little more positive” in the future.
So yeah, while Prescott was steamed, Jones basically gave the green light to fan feedback, no matter how harsh. Sounds like the only way for the Cowboys to quiet the crowd is to get things sorted out on the field.
