Did you see what went down between Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs and this reporter, Mike Leslie? It was pure drama! After their recent loss, Diggs got wind of a social media post by the reporter, and he did let him have it!
The tension was thick as Diggs confronted the reporter about his post on social media. You could practically hear the crackle of the fire in their heated exchange. Diggs wasn’t holding back, that’s for sure.
It all started when the reporter took to social media to criticize Diggs’ performance. Well, let’s just say Diggs didn’t take too kindly to the critique. He had some strong words for the reporter, and his passion was on full display.
While confronting Mike Leslie of WFAA in Dallas outside the locker room following the Cowboys’ 30-24 loss to the 49ers on Sunday night, Diggs yelled at Leslie for posting on X, “What is Trevon Diggs doing on this play?”
The play in reference featured Diggs seemingly running at about 50 percent while chasing down George Kittle during a 43-yard gain that set up the 49ers’ go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter.
After Diggs confronted Leslie, the reporter implored Diggs to “talk about it more,” to which Diggs replied, “Talk about Deez Nuts.”
The tone of the exchange, posted to X by @newyscruggs, was rather hostile as Diggs yelled outside the locker room before storming in.
“That’s what you took from that?” Diggs said to Leslie. “Out of that whole play, that’s what you took from that? You don’t know football. You can’t do nothing that I do. You can’t go out there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop trying me, dog.”
“Just asking the question, Trevon,” Leslie replied. “I mean, I’m happy to have you answer the question.”
Diggs responded: “Out of that whole play, that’s what you took from that? That’s what you got from that? Out of that whole play, that’s what you got from that?”
“We can talk about it more,” Leslie continued.
Diggs was not in a talking mood after the exchange, refusing to speak with reporters after the game.
Leslie posted on X to poke some fun.
“I do not have a comment about deez nuts,” Leslie said.
It’s clear that Diggs takes his role as a player seriously and has no problem defending himself. This incident just shows how deeply he cares about the game and his team. Who knows what the fallout from this heated exchange will be, but one thing’s for certain – reporters better think twice before criticizing Trevon Diggs in the future.
