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

[Daillest88]

Hey guys this sounds like us.

First time dak goes out and ends up throwing 4 picks vs. The 2's....Tony be on the sideline grinning and coaching him up

 

[Bleu Star]

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.

Larry Nance Jr did the same with Kobe and they played together just fine. Same deal here. Actually, I have even more respect for Dak now. No big deal here.

Interesting.

Someone scanned four years of Prescott's Twitter account and found negative comments about Romo. Did Prescott stop commenting about Romo altogether from that moment forward?

Maybe Prescott has said worse things about Romo in the intervening seasons between then and now? Perhaps he has even said positive things about Romo during that time? Who knows? Well, we do know that he ripped Romo on a late December day four years ago. That's the only relevant thing Prescott has ever said about Romo for readers to consider.

Right..?

Pseudo journalistic sensationalism. Click CLICK!

Come on man he wasn't anything then. Just a kid that loved the Cowboys and was pissed off watching the team and QB he'd spent most of his adolescent life defending choke away another opportunity.

So you're saying letting him vent on Twitter about it was a good idea?

I don't think what he said years ago is going to affect anything, I just think any platform that allows you to put your knee-jerk reactions out there for everyone to see is not good for those who put their knee-jerk reactions out there for everyone to see. Once you put a careless statement out there, you can't take it back.

journalistic sensationalism.

No its just called journalism now.

Thanks for the correction.

This is a non story. . Just the same as Nance Jr's tweet quickly became a non story.

But I guess it makes for good conversation

I do agree that kids are really careless with social media. I don't look at this as a typical athlete putting his foot in his mouth though. I see a 19 year old Dallas Cowboys fan who was watching the same game we were and venting in the same way. Honestly I think Romo will give him a hard time and have a laugh. This is a non story.

The same as Kobe did with Nance Jr. Yup. Non story...

 

[CWR]

Wow you're comparing Romo with Kobe? How are they even remotely the same kind of guy?

Story.. Story.. Wow. Do I really have to break it down that far. Ok. I will.

New young draft pick is drafted by the team that houses a superstar that he denigrated via social media because said draft pick is a young millenial that doesn't know any better.

Said millenial is immediately faced with damage control after the social media faux pas is uncovered by the snake-like media.

The superstar and the young draft pick have a laugh and quickly move on.

Hope this helps...

This is much to do about nothing. Tony is a good guy and Dak will learn a lot from our residential jedi master.

There are no age limitations for careless social media usage. Zero.

I'm betting Dak won't be critical of Romo in the future. In the dubious event that he would, he'd only validate himself as a hapless fool.

I'm extremely confident that he'll know exactly which side his bread's buttered on. He's just in no position to be critical at this juncture.

Additionally, Tony Romo strikes me as a forgiving soul who will do his all to get along with Dak and put the past aside. It's a new day.

He will embarrassingly fall in line... Same as Nance Jr did. The aging superstar always forgives. It's what they do. It's classy.

I think a lot of us said the same thing if not worse. Romo was lost in that game.

Romo will laugh it off. He thinks too highly of his abilities to let a tweet of four years ago be a big deal.

Welcome aboard Dak.

Yeah, I said a lot worse. Romo choked massively in that game and sunk our whole team.I will never forget that meltdown.

 

[erod]

Sounds like a big Cowboys fan venting after a tough loss like is.

Now he needs to sponge up as much Romo as he can.
