Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson Speak On Dak Prescott

Fox Sports broadcasters Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson spoke highly of Dak Prescott. It came after responding to a fan question about why the Cowboys QB receives “so much hate.”

During a recent Q&A edition of the “Calm Down” podcast, Andrews and Thompson explained that Prescott is a “fantastic person” both on and off the field.

“Why does Dak get so much hate? Everyone says what a great leader and teammate he is,” one fan asked.

“He is a fantastic person on and off the field; he is a class act,” Thompson said.

“He has been through hell and back in his personal life. He’s lost his brother, he’s lost his mom. He is a constant champion of people in the mental health space, in everything from cancer prevention and early detection. To answer your question … I have no idea [why people hate him].”

Andrews and Thompson did not mention Prescott’s relationship and what recently happened with Sarah Jane Ramos. Both women agreed, “It’s because he plays for the Cowboys,” and the hate is not warranted.

“He plays for a team that people love to hate,” Thompson said. “It’s always going to come with criticism, but I think Dak also understands that.

“It’s just that the people that are gonna hate him don’t have any real reason to. They’re just trying to be contrarians … They’re an easy target because until they win, the narrative around them is that they were good then, but they haven’t been in a long time.

“So I’m just always gonna defend Dak, because I think he’s a wonderful person, and he is. That locker room will say he’s a wonderful teammate.”

Erin Andrews added she’s “basically Dak’s older sister.”

“I’ve been covering him since he took over that job his rookie season [in 2016], I’ve seen Dak go through hell and back. I’ve seen Dak have good times, high times — He’s a guy I get very defensive about because he’s so lovely.

“… Dak is the kind of guy — knows everything he stands for off the field … I did a charity event with St. Jude and there was an anonymous donation on Instagram, but then you could see who did it … He’s such a solid, solid dude. Love him.”

Thompson added, “We are Dak fan club supporters over here … come sit with us and we’ll wave our Dak flag.”
