Dak Prescott had to eat his words rather quickly after making a claim that could have probably prompted raised eyebrows from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is facing a crucial period in his career as the team will have to make a decision on his contract at the end of next season. But he’s betting on himself to come out of the situation in better shape.
Dak Prescott spoke to the media this Monday and was asked how he is coping with the pressure of an incoming season in which anything less than a Super Bowl will likely impact his future.
“It’s just the urgency you should have, to be honest,” he said. “So maybe guys who normally wouldn’t feel it, feel it. So I don’t mind it, been in this position before. I’m a gambling man, will gamble on myself and my guys.”
The QB immediately realized his choice of words was probably not the best and made a quick, humorous clarification, making sure everyone knew he was being figurative.
“Not actually guys. I understand there’s been a lot of (issues with gambling), so, not that way,” he added.

Dak Prescott Wasn’t Taking Any Chances
Had Dak Prescott left his statement as is, no one would have assumed he was betting on his team’s games. Still, he felt it needed to be cleared up.
The NFL has had to hand out stiff punishments over gambling offenses over the last few years, and while he’s in no danger of facing any (unless he really is gambling on Cowboys games), the quarterback didn’t want to risk his words being taken out of context.
It’s great that he went that route too. It made for a good laugh.
