Play.

Stephen A. called out Dak for blaming hot trash for his performance.

Stephen A. Smith thinks that the apology by the quarterback for his postgame comments was correct, but that he needs to accept more accountability for his performance. The song is called "2:21."

According to a source, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was fined $25,000 by the league for his postgame comments about the game officials.

After the wild card game, the fans were throwing things at his teammates in anger and he called it "sad." He said that he was given credit for the objects being directed at the officials. Credit to them.

He didn't walk the comments back at the end of the news conference.

He apologized to his followers on three separate occasions.

I made comments about the officials after the game. My words were uncalled for and unfair because I was caught up in the emotion of the disappointing loss.

I have always respected the professionalism and difficulty of the job of the NFL Officials and hold them in the highest regard. Everyone who attends a sporting event is at risk of injury or death.

"That was a mistake on my part, and I am sorry."

The NBA Referees Association encouraged the NFL to take action to discourage this kind of behavior in the future, because of the comments made by a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
