Called a “Bum,” Dak Prescott Fires Back After Public Apology From NBA’s No.1 Star
ARLINGTON, Texas — The sports world is buzzing after two of America’s biggest stars — Draymond Green
of the Golden State Warriors and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys — found themselves in the middle of an unexpected cross-league drama. Prescott has flatly rejected Green’s public apology after the NBA star once labeled him a “bum.”
🔹 Draymond Green Apologizes — But Doesn’t Back Down
In a recent episode of his podcast “Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football,”
the outspoken Warriors forward admitted he went too far when he called Dak Prescott a “bum.”
“I’ve met Dak. I know he’s a good football player. I want to apologize for calling him that. If someone called me a bum, I’d be pissed too. I was wrong to use that word,” Green said.
Still, Green stood by his overall criticism of the Cowboys’ quarterback:.
“I still think when the moment gets big, he can’t deliver. But he’s not a bum.”
The half-hearted apology immediately sparked debate among fans and analysts — and Prescott’s blunt response only added fuel to the fire.
🔹 Dak Prescott: “He Doesn’t Know a Damn Thing About the NFL”
When asked about Green’s public apology, Prescott didn’t hesitate to shoot back.
“An apology? Man, I don’t even know who he is in the world of football,” Prescott said with a smirk.
The Cowboys’ quarterback went on, calm but cutting:
“I respect every professional athlete. But when someone from another sport gets on a podcast and talks about something they don’t understand… I don’t care.
He doesn’t know a damn thing about the NFL, about what it takes to lead 53 men every Sunday under pressure. So no — I don’t need that apology.”
The quote spread quickly across social media, with fans praising Prescott for
“the perfect clapback” to what many saw as a condescending and insincere apology.
🔹 Two Worlds, Two Egos
Draymond Green has long been known for his fiery personality and willingness to say exactly what’s on his mind — often without a filter. Dak Prescott, on the other hand, is known for his composure and discipline, rarely engaging in off-field drama.
That’s why this moment hit differently. It wasn’t just a rebuttal — it was a quiet statement of dominance from the Cowboys’ leader.
Sports analyst Jordan Schultz summed it up:
“This isn’t just a clash between two athletes — it’s a collision between two worlds. One thrives on noise, the other on composure.”
🔹 Cowboys Weathering the Storm
Amid all the media noise, the Cowboys are still fighting to stay afloat after a
27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, dropping to 3-5-1. The team recently made a major trade, acquiring Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in hopes of stabilizing their defense.
Prescott, however, isn’t letting the outside chatter distract him:
“I don’t play football to please Draymond Green — or anyone on social media.
I play for this team, and I play to win.”
💬 In the End
Draymond Green may have apologized, but Dak Prescott doesn’t need it.
For him, respect comes from understanding — not from empty words.
Denver, CO – September 5, 2025 — The Denver Broncos have suffered a major setback just days before their Week 1 clash with the Tennessee Titans, as defensive lineman Malcolm Roach
has been ruled out with a Grade 2 calf strain.Roach left practice on Thursday and was initially listed as limited, but further evaluation confirmed the injury is significant enough to sideline him for several weeks. If the recovery timeline stretches beyond four games, Denver may be forced to move him to short-term injured reserve.
The 27-year-old lineman, signed from the New Orleans Saints in 2024, has been a vital part of Denver’s interior rotation, providing steady run defense behind starters D.J. Jones, Zach Allen, and John Franklin-Myers. Without him, backups
Eyioma Uwazurike, Jordan Jackson, and rookie Sai’vion Jones are expected to see increased playing time.Head coach Sean Payton, who also coached Roach in New Orleans, praised the defender’s energy and leadership earlier this summer:
“One of his great traits is he doesn’t have bad days. He comes out here with energy, and that’s contagious.”The timing couldn’t be worse for Denver, who already face a list of injuries. Linebacker
Dre Greenlaw (quad) and tight end Nate Adkins (ankle) both missed practice for the second straight day, while edge rusher Dondrea Tillman (hamstring) was limited. On the brighter side, Marvin Mims Jr., Nik Bonitto, and Alex Singleton practiced fully.Denver’s defense, a strength of the team entering 2025, will now be tested immediately. Losing Roach’s presence on the line is a blow to the Broncos’ run-stopping ability and overall depth. The challenge intensifies Sunday as they prepare to host Derrick Henry and the Titans’ power run game at Mile High.
