Dak Prescott

[Ferrets are Cool]

OH MY GOD. I hate seeing these kinds of injuries even when I don't like the team. It looks horrible. I had to turn away.

For those that didn't see it, it's a very bad ankle injury.

1. I hate the franchise tag

Football is definitely one sport where they shouldn't have it.

He played four years at a high level for a dramatically below market value contract. He is on franchise this year, and he may not get franchised or get a substantial long term contract next year because of this injury.

2. Nodding in agreement

3. Yes it is

Not a cowboy fan (Washington Football Team, here). The franchise tag is one of the stupidest things in professional sports, imho.

Hope that Dak will be ok and it is just a bad sprain.

5. What I saw was not a bad sprain...

I think the bone was sticking out, just covered by a sock. I could be wrong....unlike the OrangeAnus, I am not a doctor.

6. That is what I saw

I won't look again.

I am not a Cowboys fan, but I am a football fan. It is simply awful. Dak should have been able to be a free agent.

7. Nor will I. Hell, I still can't look at Joe Theismann's injury and that was before most of you

were born.

10. He could have signed a big contract in the off season.

The two sides couldn't reach an agreement. Will most likely cost him many hundreds of million dollar.
Football is a risky business.

4. I am sick.

I'm a huge Cowboys fan, still that is not what hurts. I would be sick no matter what player that is.

As a human being who suffered a devastating ankle injury I just hurt for another human.

Dak is a good kid, he will bounce back. He may not scramble as much but he is good in the pocket.

9. His brother killed himself last spring.

Now this injury. Life can be so hard.
