Dak Prescott is always the adult in the room. He doesn’t believe the Cowboys are unfairly targeted in media because Jerry Jones welcomes the attention: “When you want to be—and you are—the most noticeable franchise in all of sports, that comes with it. That’s the territory. You can’t ask for the rain and be mad about the mud. We’re blessed to have the platform that we do. Ultimately, it’s not up to us to listen to that. Those opinions—good, bad, or indifferent—really don’t justify or have anything to do with what we do on the field. The more we take care of ourselves and win and handle things, the media’s going to come. And if we don’t, they’re still going to be there.”
