“Dumb af” – Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs lashes out at ex-Eagles RB LeSean McCoy for dumping on Dak Prescott
Dallas Cowboys training camp is well underway but all eyes were on cornerback Trevon Diggs and quarterback Dak Prescott this week.
Diggs and Prescott had a somewhat heated exchange this week, with the Cowboys CB telling his quarterback to 'shut his b*tch a*s up' in training.
Trevon Diggs told Dak Prescott to “shut your bitch ass up” today at practice. Dak then proceeded to throw the football at Diggs as he jogged back to the defensive huddle… THIS TEAM IS WINNING THE DAMN SUPER BOWL!!!!

It didn't take long for the video to go viral. Media talking heads promptly latched on to the altercation, delivering a number of wild takes.
Former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy was one of those in question.
On an FS1 show, McCoy said:
"I played with Tom Brady, played with Josh Allen, played with Patrick Mahomes, nobody on the team would even fix they lips to say something like that to the quarterback. A franchise quarterback?"

The former Eagle's hot take didn't go down well with Diggs.

Of course, the altercation between Diggs and Prescott is not a first in NFL training camp. Things get a little heated when players are out to prove themselves before preseason, especially when they're on opposite sides of the ball.
Prescott and Diggs both publicly commented on the situation on Thursday.
Diggs said:
"Stay out of our business. People don’t need to worry about what we got going on, our relationship, my relationship with my brother. Dak is the leader of our team. He’s going to go out there and have a great year. I have the utmost respect for Dak.”
Prescott responded to the situation by adding that he's the one who talks the most in training.
"I start a lot of it," the Cowboys QB told reporters.
The pair appear to have cleared the air since.

The schedule does get a bit easier from there until they face the 49ers in Week 5.
The Cowboys will be out for blood in Week 9 against the Eagles and will later face Philly once again in Week 14 in December.
