Football fans are teeing off on Fox Sports 1 host and former NFL running back LeSean McCoy over his hot take on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
On Thursday, the Cowboys acquired quarterback Joe Milton III and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the New England Patriots in exchange for their fifth-rounder (No. 171 overall) in the 2025 draft.
During Thursday’s episode of “The Facility” on FS1, LeSean McCoy told Prescott to “find a realtor,” implying that Milton will replace him as the starting quarterback in Dallas:

It’s a giant stretch to suggest that Milton, with one NFL appearance under his belt, will replace a three-time Pro Bowler. And as you could guess, social media had a field day destroying McCoy over his take.
“This guy is just bad take after bad take. It was nice not hearing from him for a few months,” a user wrote.

“Shady sounds absolutely ridiculous when he speaks. It makes no sense. Can tell he does absolutely no research about anything,” wrote a user.

Milton was drafted in the sixth round (193rd overall) by the Patriots last year. He started their Week 18 finale against the Buffalo Bills, who rested key starters after locking up the AFC’s second seed.
In that game, Milton completed 75.9 percent of pass attempts for 241 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Of course, you have to be careful into reading what a rookie did in a single start against backup defenders.
Then again, analysts like LeSean McCoy are paid to stir the pot with controversial takes that will get fans fired up. Judging by the many reactions on X/Twitter here, he certainly accomplished that goal.
LeSean McCoy Won Two Super Bowls In Playing Career
McCoy enjoyed his best NFL seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills, but it wasn’t until the tail-end of his career that “Shady” finally reached the mountaintop.
“Shady” won his first Super Bowl ring with the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 season, only to win his second with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a year later.
