Trevon Diggs vs. Dak Prescott: Cowboys Truth on 'Shut Your B**** A** Up!'
The toothpaste is probably out of the tube as far as what the world now thinks of "Dak Prescott vs. Trevon Diggs.'' But we are obliged to try. So here goes ...
The flaring of tempers at Dallas Cowboys practice on Tuesday afternoon featuring two of the biggest names on the team and in the NFL - featuring Diggs seemingly getting in Prescott's face to order him to "Shut your b**** a** up!''- is uncommon only in one sense.
And that sense is that microphones and cameras perched near that particular corner of the end zone were in range to record the sight and the sound. The fact is, if during their interactions over the years a microphone was permanently attached to these two friends - that's right, friends - Cowboys Nation would be numb to such chatter.
Why? Because they do it all the time.
On this particular red-zone play in the Oxnard camp featured quarterback Prescott finding no pass target open and then attempting to escape the rush and run for a touchdown. He was contacted by a defender - yes, in a real game he would've likely been tackled short of the goal line, but kept going even after the contact and eventually "scored.''
Prescott may have said something as he sprinted to pay dirt. Or maybe the yapping was completely initiated by the defenders who knew that they'd won the play. Somebody (maybe Diggs) seems to have yelled "Boxed!'' - as if to suggest that Prescott was "boxed'' in and did not score.
And then the All-Pro cornerback Diggs unleashed his flurry of nasty words directed at his friend ... who when it's about offense vs. defense is also his foe.
Dak and Diggs are close; who can forget the HBO "Hard Knocks'' interaction involving Trevon's son Aiden?
Late last year, Diggs said of Prescott, "I know what Dak's going to do. I know he's a winner. ... I'm never sweating. I'm never trippin' ... I know Dak is going to lead us to where we need to go.''
And now you know what Trevon Diggs really thinks of Dak Prescott. ... even though Diggs was "trippin''' more than just a little bit in this particular exchange.
