FOX Sports' Skip Bayless has claimed to be a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, but his criticism of quarterback Dak Prescott has continued to rise. Now, the Cowboys quarterback's brother has shot back at Bayless and other sports talk shows for their criticism.
Tad Prescott took to Twitter this weekend to say that Bayless used to say that he was a big fan of Prescott and has now gone back on that. He mentioned that Bayless called Aaron Rodgers 'washed up' after the loss on Thursday and insinuated that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could never win it all.
Tad Prescott noted that after criticizing those quarterbacks, Bayless will then praise Baker Mayfield. He then ended his Tweet by saying that he is done with all of the NFL shows.
"Skip Bayless, will tell you Dak isn’t good, although he used to love him. Will tell you Aaron Rodgers is Washed up, & Lamar Jackson can’t get it done, but in the same breathe will tell you Baker Mayfield is a good Qb. I’m done with these shows."

This isn't the first time that Bayless has been called out for his controversial thoughts on professional athletes. In fact, that is what he has been known for throughout his long career. And, although he claims his deep-routed love for the Dallas Cowboys, he is quick to judge the team for their performances each week.
'This is a playoff game' Cowboys QB Dak Prescott knows importance of Vikings matchup
The Dallas Cowboys are currently in the thick of an intense and competitive NFC East divisional race. The Philadelphia Eagles atop the division with a 8-1 record, the New York Giants are 7-2 and then the Cowboys sit in third with a 6-3 record.
The Washington Commanders are just one game behind the Cowboys with a 5-5 record. A loss last week to the Green Bay Packers set the Cowboys back a step and made their job more difficult.
The Cowboys will now face the 8-1 Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon and need to get a win to stay in contention for the divisional race. Dak Prescott told reporters this week that he is treating Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings as if it were a playoff game:
"This is a playoff game. You got a team that has one loss and us coming in off one. We know what this means. We know what this means in the division. We know what this means in the NFC. It's about going up there and putting our best foot forward and make sure we put our best performance out there."
History is on the Dallas Cowboys side and they may have a good chance against Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings. Cousins is just 2-8 against the Dallas Cowboys, the most losses that he has against any single team.
