LeSean McCoy Is Sorry Not Sorry For Calling Dak Prescott 'Ass'

LeSean McCoy is not exactly president of the Dak Prescott Fan Club.

The former running back turned commentator repeatedly taunted Prescott all season, even calling him "ass." Then, he doubled down, saying the Dallas Cowboys quarterback has "the easiest job."

But speaking with Julian Edelman on his Games With Names podcast Thursday, McCoy acknowledged maybe he went too far with his criticisms of Prescott — chalking up the comments to his inexperience in broadcasting.

"I’ve had some struggles with TV, because I’m so raw and new at it," McCoy told Edelman. "But in all reality, I should have said it differently, like ‘he’s playing like ass.’ Because it’s a lot of ass quarterbacks … I think he’s an average, above-average quarterback."

Thanks for clearing that up for us, Shady. So Dak, himself, is not ass. He just plays like ass.

He really doesn't, though.

Dak Prescott Had A Solid Season

In 2023, Prescott was a leading contender for league MVP. He threw for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns and nine interceptions. And he led the Cowboys to their third-consecutive 12-win season and the NFC East title.

Ultimately, Dallas fell 48-32 to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. After the loss, Prescott himself said, "I sucked tonight." But he still threw for three touchdowns and more than 400 yards.

Not that Dak cares too much what LeSean McCoy has to say, anyway. When the three-time Pro Bowler was asked about McCoy’s criticisms on 105.3 the Fan in August, Prescott gave quite the unbothered response.

"Honestly, I couldn’t tell you what he’s saying," he said. "I think he’s probably just getting paid well and likes his money."

But as a Philadelphia Eagles legend, it's in McCoy's nature to throw shade at Dak and the Cowboys. And until they figure out how to string together a playoff run, he won't be the only one talking trash.
