Stephen A. Smith Criticizes Dak Prescott Over Unverified Driver Claim

Flint Saginaw Bay City, MI, October 18, 2026 —

Stephen A. Smith has criticized Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in connection with an unverified claim that a contracted driver lost their job after criticizing Prescott following a Cowboys loss.

The account provided does not establish whether the driver was dismissed or explain the circumstances of the alleged job loss. The claim remains unverified, and no supporting evidence or response from Prescott is included in the available information. Smith’s specific comments and the setting in which he made them were also not provided.

The details of the reported incident are limited. The driver’s name, the contracting company, the date of the Cowboys game and the timing of the alleged job loss were not specified. The information also does not identify where the driver’s criticism appeared or what it said.

Those gaps leave key questions about the claim unanswered, including whether the driver’s employment ended and whether that outcome was connected to the criticism of Prescott. The summary does not provide independent confirmation of either point, so the alleged connection should not be treated as established fact.

What is established in the information provided is that Smith criticized Prescott regarding the claim. No further details about Smith’s remarks, Prescott’s response or any subsequent developments were supplied. Without those details, the scope of the disagreement and the status of the allegation remain unclear.
