News: Awkward! Years ago, Dak Prescott ripped new teammate Tony Romo

[WoodysGirl]

In late 2012, Dak Prescott likely wasn't thinking about an NFL future. He was just a Dallas Cowboys fan with some angst and a Twitter account.


Who knew that on Dec. 30, 2012, he wasn't just ripping Tony Romo on Twitter, he was ripping future Cowboys teammate Tony Romo? The Cowboys picked Prescott late in the fourth round on Saturday, presumably to possibly be Romo's successor someday.







It's really not that big of a deal. Prescott was 19 years old and at that point had 29 career college passes. There's no way he could have known that day, as Romo threw three interceptions in a Week 17 game at Washington with a playoff spot on the line, that he'd work with Romo someday.

I like this kid more now.

 

[SHAMSzy]

Tony would agree with him

 

[Jerryrage]

I like this kid more now.

I concur my friend and so does this bottle of Vodka in front of me

 

[Don Corleone]

He just won me over

 

[kevm3]

real cowboys fan

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Now Dak will have the rare fan opportunity to go out there and show Tony how it's done... or not.

 

[Nova]

Oh wow. I'm glad he was passionate about the team before getting here.

We probably all said the same thing-- I know I did. Just frustration though.

 

[DeaconMoss]

He was probably tweeting after drinking for 5 hours and driving

 

[Alexander]

More proof.

Cancer in the locker room.

 

[CATCH17]

That's awesome!

I love Tony but I've bashed him and been done with him a time or 2 myself.

 

[Nirvana]

I didn't know he was a fan of the Cowboys before this thread. I like the pick even more now.

No it wasn't that big of deal for him to tweet those comments at that time but one thing is for certain in the world of football in Prescott's case you have to be very careful what you say when it comes to ripping a fellow player because you may end up being a teammate of that very player as in the case of Prescott being drafted earlier today but he has matured very much since then.

What's his zone account? (I think we can safely eliminate alexander).

 

[jazzcat22]

How many of us fans did this not just about Romo, but about many players...hate on them, then love them....love them then hate on them....

It is a frustration thing. Can like the player, but a few dumb things, you criticize....plays. Ok, then wins an important game, and he's a hall of famer....

I concur my friend and so does this bottle of Vodka in front of me

So the agreement is international; my tequila just says it faster and louder.....

 

[Vinnie2u]

I felt exactly the same way. Yet I'm still here.. A bit more critical of Romo but still here. Wasn't a big fan of Dak but he gets points for this. Go Cowboys.

 

[Reality]

I think almost every fan has said this at some point, especially back before 2014, though there are some who won't admit it

Like I said, he's a Cowboys fan

 

[HomeBiscuit]

Huge fan of Tony Romo and find what Dak said hilarious. These two will be great friends.

Besides, wasn't that the game Romo's throwing hand was broken.. Might've been 2011

Being a fan doesn’t mean he can play qb. Have no idea why the team loves this guy. He's a train wreck on and off the field.
