OXNARD, Calif. -- In this corner, we have Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and, oh yes, the President of the United States. In that corner, we have Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins and the rest of the self-appointed social conscience of the American sports scene.
And squarely in the middle -- right behind all those training camp microphones -- we have Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Until Friday morning, Dak thought making Grade A players out of this current receiving corps was his toughest job.
Dak spent the last two minutes of a short news conference talking about the anthem, explaining why he chooses not to protest and, for my part, he did just fine.
