You cropped off the rest of that quote.
"So it’s just the nature of the game, but I want to be a Dallas Cowboy for as long as I can.”
An accident, I'm sure.
Jake Ferguson on this confrontation with Jamal Adams after a big YAC play:
“I was just letting him know I got the first down. Talk all you want. 🤷🏻♂️”
He’d later gab the go-ahead touchdown over … *checks notes*… Jamal Adams.
And then the staredown.
Menace.

Ezekiel Elliott (who is on record as wanting OBJ to join
#Cowboys
) was asked why he didn’t go to the Mavs game:
“Damn, I can’t chill at the crib? If I went everywhere y’all would be on my ass about that. So which y’all want?”
🐐💯🐐💯🐐💯
#micdrop
Dak Prescott on his haters:
“I appreciate them. People can say what they want, but I have the pen and I have the paper, so I’m the one doing the writing.”
#Cowboys
Micah Parsons said Dak Prescott came to the sideline after the TD to Jake Ferguson and the two-point conversion and yelled out:
“Turn me tf up MFer!!”
Parsons said it literally made him blush and think to himself, “Oh wow. Damn, that’s my QB right there. Oh my. ☺️”

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Jimmy Johnson will be inducted into
#Cowboys
coveted Ring of Honor — officially — per Jerry Jones.
Long time coming, but the wait is over.
The king is in on 12/30/23. 👑
Dak Prescott and the mom-to-be have chosen a name for their baby girl, but he won’t reveal it — noting the expected delivery date is in March.
On being on an MVP-caliber level as of late:
“It’s the dad strength. ☺️”
On how his life will change:
“It’s super exciting. I
“Jalen said the ref told him to scoot up on the line.” - Dak Prescott
Tolbert’s offsides penalty was also questioned by Mike McCarthy - who also said the rookie did check with the official before the snap.
#Cowboys
Dak Prescott isn’t wearing his NFC East title hat or shirt. He says he’s not doing it to send a message, but he explained his current mindset:
“We’ve won [the East] before. The focus is ahead. Simple as that. I want something better.”
Dak Prescott literally celebrated when getting news of Damar Hamlin’s progress — i.e., awake, writing, holding hands, etc. — clapping and yelling out the following:
“Prayer is powerful! God is good!”

Mazi Smith’s first meeting with Dan Quinn as a member of the
#Cowboys
— having met at Combine and Top 30.
“Shit, I didn’t sleep last night!” - DQ
Quinn is VERY excited.
I love the

.
That said, that nauseating pain they're going to feel when they win this game and find out it didn't matter?
NECESSARY.
Let it burn deep into your soul. This isn't the Giants fault. It's yours. Sit with it for the next several months.
AND FIX IT.
T.Y. Hilton and CeeDee Lamb have established an instant chemistry for the
#Cowboys
, and that includes Hilton paying it forward from his days with Reggie Wayne:
That’s total bullshit Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life? So you’re now the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck? And if his decisions don’t fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him? Guess that keeps you employed on FS1. Nice
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said they'll take loss to Saints "one day at a time."
"I don’t get too high when we play a really good game. I don’t get too low when we play a really bad game. We played a really bad game today, offensively."
Jerry Jones said he doesn’t want to talk about Philly game because he doesn’t want to “poke the bear”.
Dak Prescott was told of that & paused, smiled, replied.
“Pour honey on me. If I’m ever in a fight with a bear, pour honey on me. I’m looking forward to [that type of fight].”
Another thing I see: CeeDee Lamb matched up against Stephon Gilmore the route, but that’s not the thing.
It’s what happened after.
Gilmore was coaching Lamb and, from what I could hear, he told him to “try this instead of that, trust me”.
What a trade this was.
#Cowboys
Top-shelf prep here.
Jake Ferguson is not only dipping his hands into 🧊 water to prepare for the trip to Buffalo, but he is mixing MENTAL prep with the physical — Lunda Wells having attached faces of Bills defenders to the pads.
#Cowboys
NFL officials should be fined, suspended or fired — on an escalating scale — depending upon their accuracy and the weight of an incorrect call on the field.
Being human is one thing, but being allowed to be continually bad at your job is a different thing.
New
#Cowboys
head coach Mike McCarthy wasn’t playing golf and shooting skeets in his year away from the NFL. He was busy leveling up.
That includes embracing analytics.
“I’m not trying to win one. I’m trying to win ‘em all.”
The
#Cowboys
can now clinch the NFC East by defeating the Commanders — the Cardinals having defeated the Eagles (in Philly, btw) in Week 17.
If Dallas does, they’ll be guaranteed at least one home game. They’re 8-0 at home in 2023.
On to Washington…
Mazi Smith’s mother had but one reply when asked how she feels right now:
“We dem Boyz!,” she said.
Smith’s locker is between DeMarcus Lawrence’s and Dorance Armstrong’s.
Dak's first INT in three weeks ... or Sean Payton and Russ getting 70 points hung on their necks.
Which gets all of the coverage this week?
Put your money on the table.
Micah Parsons on not appearing on that TV show on Tuesday following the
#Cowboys
loss:
“I didn’t think it was appropriate to be on the show at that point. We just lost our starting QB.
“… I think I need to be a leader now and that’s not on TV.”
FYI: The
#Cowboys
did field a call from the Chiefs to potentially move down to 31, but it was nixed when Kansas City said they were moving up for Mazi Smith.
Andy Reid wanted him. Mike McCarthy got him.
So funny that the two players who constantly have to hear nonsense from certain factions of the fanbase are the ones who led the
#Cowboys
to that game-winning drive:
Amari Cooper
Ezekiel Elliott
Put some respect on them.
"Players over system."
Mike McCarthy said this to Will McClay, and it stuck with him -- McClay admits.
The new era has officially begun for the
#Cowboys
.
Just had a good conversation with
#Cowboys
pass rusher Randy Gregory. I won’t reveal all that was said, but this stuck out to me:
“I will be back this year. Difference is I’ll be back FOR GOOD this time.”
New CBA gives Dallas much-needed, potent EDGE assistance in 2020. ✅
Jayron Kearse on Kittle’s t-shirt:
“I don’t have any thoughts on it. … If you don’t like it, keep him out of the end zone. If we would’ve kept him out of the end zone, he couldn’t have done it.”
Real.

Prescott, Parsons were absent from NFLPA All-Pro list.
In the event Ezekiel Elliott can’t go vs the Bears, Tony Pollard says he’s ready to carry/touch the ball as many times as the
#Cowboys
ask him to.
“If they call it, I can haul it.”
Gerald McCoy speaks from his hospital bed after season-ending surgery and news of his release — with a promise to continue mentoring the young

pass rushers.
This is what strength of self looks like.

George Teague and Byron Jones would be proud.
