Get his ass out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys employee walked toward the stadium worker, who appeared to have left the area by the time the Cowboys employee got there. PFT is told the worker was a driver employed by a third-party contractor.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott was asked about it after the game and made clear he didn\u2019t appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he said it I just happened to look at him, and at that point he looked away, didn\u2019t look, and when I turned my head back, he said something else,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cSo that\u2019s the part that, just as a man or a person, feel free to speak your mind. Just speak it. Don\u2019t coward away from the reaction that you\u2019re going to get. If you\u2019re saying it\u2019s embarrassing, say it\u2019s embarrassing. If you\u2019re saying it to me, say it to me. Don\u2019t go back on it. That\u2019s all it was. I hate that it\u2019s even being talked about, to be honest with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prescott said he has too much respect for the Buccaneers to use the word \u201cembarrassing\u201d to describe the loss, but he acknowledged it was a game the Cowboys were supposed to win, and said head coach Brian Schottenheimer told the team that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo use the word \u2018embarrassing,\u2019 it\u2019s tough,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m discrediting the NFL if I use that, in particular the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the great Todd Bowles coach, defensive-coached team. The guy\u2019s been a winning coach for a long time and whether he\u2019s been a head coach or a defensive coordinator. The plan, what they did tonight, is the reason for that. To say \u2018embarrassing,\u2019 I think I\u2019d be discrediting them. But we were definitely supposed to win this game. It was a game we were supposed to have on paper. I think Schotty said it best in the locker room. in this league You\u2019ve got to win the games you\u2019re supposed to win, and when a winless team comes into your home stadium on a Thursday night, prime time game, yeah, we\u2019re supposed to win that. It sucks, right up close to embarrassing, but I don\u2019t know if I would say that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Prescott was not happy with the guy who did say that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Dak Prescott walked through the AT&amp;T Stadium tunnel to the Cowboys\u2019 locker room after Thursday night\u2019s loss&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":876369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-876368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=876368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=876368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
