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

[Gameover]

I love the media selling this 5th grade gossip crap.

This is almost like SS RM CC passing notes on who doesn't like who.

Good job media!

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.

OMG!! I'm biting my typing finger lol!!!!

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.

No social media in general is a bad Idea. Although in this case it's quite a bit more innocent than its being made out to be.

 

[CWR]

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...

Yes sorry my bad on thinking the moment it was Kobe the situation got out of hand. This case seemed to be alot worse also. He attacked Bryant's character.

 

[Fletch]

Pfft. He must be a realist, that Dak.

 

[Stinger_Splash]

Just when I thought I would not love this pick even more. Dak is the man.

 

[SDCowboy]

Taking up? The hell does that even mean?

 

[Super_Kazuya]

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

What's funny is that was your last great moment as a troll. You've been a pale shadow of yourself ever since, hiding in the shadows.

 

[KB1122]

Personally. I hope this is still his attitude. I don't want them to be all buddy-buddy. I want Prescott to push Romo and if necessary to beat him out for the job.

 

[CF74]

Taking up? The hell does that even mean?

To defend or make excuses for a person.

 

[DFWJC]

Probably taking about that disastrous Washington game 4 seasons ago. Some of Romo's biggest supporters were saying that after that game.
Emotional and disappointing ending, again.

This was 2012 though, I suspect he has matured since then.

I doubt he remotely thinks that about Romo now.
One clutch finish after another, after another, after another, after another.....
That tends to change perceptions to even the densest of people. And I don't see Dak as dense at all.

Funny thing, he's going to learn real quick, it not so easy playing in the NFL. And Romo will help him.
I wish him well, for Dallas' sake.

Good luck with that.
Few QBs have had it on their back for so long like Romo has.
I don't think Dak freaking Prescott is causing him any fear.

And the opposite really.
Unlike some jerks who wish the worst for Romo, I bet Romo wishes the BEST for Prescott. Bet he takes the kid under his wing to some degree.

Some people are just good people, and as has been exhibited around here quite often, some are not.

That's very telling. Thanks for sharing. It's easy to get frustrated about a bad game. They are going to happen. Just get over it and learn from it and move forward.

Please...everybody and their momma rips on Tony.

 

[TheFinisher]

Love this pick

 

[Sportsbabe]

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....

Not me. He's ripped out my heart on numerous occasions...but I've never proclaimed " I'm done with him." He's carried this team his entire career. That's enough for me and youngin better recognize....and he will.

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.

No doubt. But if he had vented to his family or even called a friend to vent instead of putting his feelings out there for anyone to see, no one could be making it a story. I don't think Romo is going to care one way or the other.

I consider it similar to Greg Hardy and his tweets last year. I didn't see most of what he said as being a story, but they were made a story because he put them out there for everyone to see, allowing some to take offense. I'm sure Garrett's scoldings had less to do with what he said in the tweets than the fact that he brought negative attention to himself and the team.

I think I'm sympathetic to him because I felt the same way. I've almost always had Romos back but he really got my goat that game. The media and the people combing through his Twitter account are pathetic.

Basically I agree with you. I do feel this isn't quite the same as the typical idiot athlete making a moronic statement though.

Woot. Someone who seems to have knowledge of the game.

WELCOME DAK!

I already like you.
