Cowboys' Dak Prescott Says He Isn't Motivated By Not Being Top 10 NFL QB in ESPN Poll

The latest ESPN poll shocked many: the franchise quarterback didn’t just miss the Top 10 list—it fell off completely. Some saw it as disrespect. But inside the Cowboys building, the reaction was calm. Confidence. Not chaos.

When reporters asked if the ranking provided motivation, the veteran signal‑caller shook his head.

“Motivated? That’s temporary. I don’t care about a list,” he said. “I was, what, the ninth pick? The list changes every year.” 

He pointed out that injury history and divisional round exits weighed heavily on public perception. Yet there was pride in those numbers, too: nearly 4,500 yards seasons, elite completion percentage and career passer ratings couching him among NFL legends.

“You think I care about being ranked? Nah. I know who I am,” he continued. “It’s about getting better, staying healthy, being the best leader I can be.” 

Now entering his 10th season, the QB is embracing what many see as his career crossroads: personal redemption and team glory. There’s urgency to end the postseason drought. There’s pressure to bring a Lombardi to Dallas. 

For him, the list doesn’t matter. The mission does. And if his focus remains unchanged, fans may soon witness why consistent excellence outweighs fleeting rankings.

Needless to say—Dak Prescott doesn’t need validation from lists, just results.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026. What do YOU think – is this legitimate workplace harassment, or is the cheerleader blowing things out of proportion?
