Only Draymond Green would turn an apology into a recruitment pitch. He’s had a wild week where he’s triggered more than a few people by opening his mouth. He’s only partially walked back one of those statements. Before sitting out the game against the Kings, Green had angered NFL fans by calling Dak Prescott a “bum.” The Dubs losing 121-116 while he rested that rib contusion must’ve given him clarity because he was back on Why is Draymond Green Talking About Football? to make things right. But this is DrayMagic. It wasn’t going to be so straightforward.

To start off, he made it clear that he was and is on good terms with Dak Prescott himself. “I’ve been around Dak, I’ve met Dak, and I think he’s a great football player.” Since he called him names on a public platform, Green chose the same podcast to fix things.

NFL pros-turned-analysts had pointed out Green’s own hypocrisy as a fellow athlete for calling names. Which is probably why he said in his apology, “Just as a fellow athlete, I think I’d be pissed off if I looked up and another athlete was saying ‘Draymond is a bum,’ I’d be pissed. So, I’m man enough to say when I was wrong, I was definitely wrong on that.”

He was kind of surprised by the public storm his comments caused but maintained, “my feelings don’t change. I still think when it gets to the moment, I don’t think he can deliver. But I do apologise with the way I categorise him as a bum. He’s definitely not a bum… “

He concluded it with a sneaky pitch. “When he’s sick of playing for the Dallas Cowboys we’ll take him as our quarterback in Pittsburgh.” Your agenda is showing Dray. Even Jordan Schultz says that speaks volumes about what he thinks of Dak. And Green was dead serious to double down too.

“And in Pittsburgh he will win… of course he would win with the Black & Yellow… I apologise. We will welcome you to Steeler Nation, Baby.”

On the apology front, Green confirmed he personally spoke to the quarterback and all is good. So the trolls can rest. But did he tell him to switch teams? Would Prescott even consider?

Dak Prescott not likely to take Draymond Green’s offer

It might be odd that Draymond Green is recruiting for the Pittsburgh Steelers while he’s supposed to be resting a rib injury. The Michigan native has no connection with Steelers nation. The most he has in common with that team is the Black & Gold color scheme they share with the Golden State Warriors.

That’s what makes his new podcast, Why is Draymond Green Talking About Football? a fitting title. Last year, Green stepped out in Steelers merch and the NFL community went wild. Not only did they not know he’s into football at all, but the Steelers! They even drew up fantasy lineups – most think the Warriors forward would make a great tightend.

The odds of Dray switching to football is as much as Dak Prescott going to Pittsburgh. Especially with the Cowboys making some trade deadline moves to build around him. Instead of responding to Dray’s ‘bum’ comments, Prescott said, “I’m f—— pumped. You can quote me on that,” about Dallas trading for former New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson.

With Dak under the richest NFL contract in history – $240 million – no way are the Cowboys shipping their quarterback to Pittsburgh or anywhere. Then again, after that stunt Mavericks pulled, no athlete has guaranteed tenure in Dallas.
