data-mm-id=”_7n3t4nun8″>Much like his FS1 colleague Colin Cowherd, Skip Bayless believes the Dallas Cowboys are about to become the Golden State Warriors. But whereas Cowherd feels they're headed toward a Mark Jackson-esque fate with no championships, Bayless feels the opposite."Dak Prescott can match Tom Brady in big game, big stage playmaking. In his 1st 3 years, he led the NFL in game-winning drives. Given the opportunities on bigger stages, Dak can match Tom Brady in clutchness." — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/jUp5ex7nBq— UNDISPUTED (@undisputed) November 20, 2019In debating with Shannon Sharpe on Wednesday's episode of Undisputed, Bayless believes that Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott can eventually "match" his Sunday opponent Tom Brady, he of six Super Bowl titles. "Since day one of this show, dating to 2016, I have sat over here and I have told that Dak Prescott is Brady-esque," Bayless declares. He's quick to clarify that he doesn't believe that Prescott will surpass the eventual Hall-of-Famer, but believes he could have a similar resume when all is said and done."He will never be Brady, because there's only one of those guys. But he is Brady-esque in that you can compare him to Tom Brady in a few categories." When Sharpe demands proof and examples, Bayless cites "leadership intangibles" and "big stage, big game playmaking". "All he's done in his first three years…Dak Prescott led the NFL in game-winning drives," Bayless says. "So I think, given the opportunities in bigger, bigger stages, he can match Tom Brady in clutchness because Tom Brady's the clutchest athlete I've ever seen because he's had so many opportunities." Sharpe counters by bringing up Prescott's playoff track record. The Dallas quarterback has gone to the playoff in two of his three seasons at the helm, but has failed to advance past the divisional round. Bayless objects by declaring Prescott hasn't had enough opportunities yet with a 1-2 playoff record. "I know I'm a psycho fan, I know I just lose it during Cowboy games, but I am beating my head against my wall because every 1st down it's Zeke for 1 yard, Zeke for 2, or Zeke for 0." — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/qjvSoKrFrZ— UNDISPUTED (@undisputed) November 20, 2019The debate about Prescott's potential Brady-inspired future wasn't the only strong Dallas Cowboy take Bayless had during Wednesday's edition. Earlier in the show, he spoke out against the recent performances of running back Ezekiel Elliott.Elliott ranks eighth in the league with 833 yards, but has earned just 92 yards over the past two games, averaging 2.6 yards a carry in that span. Bayless, simply put, has had enough, especially after owner Jerry Jones insisted that the team had to continue to "feed" Elliott carries. "Jerry Jones, you're walking a dangerous path here," Bayless warns. "You're speaking out publicly…with your pride and your wallet. Because Jerry Jones is the one that gave Ezekiel Elliott $90 million total. $50 million guaranteed. He made Ezekeil Elliott, by far, the highest paid running back in the history of this game. Lately, he's been giving you, by his standards, 50-cent games. And Jerry, I believe, is starting to worry, 'Did I get taken for a ride by that guy?'" With the Cowboys sitting a 6-4 and in control of their own destiny when it comes to an NFC playoff spot, and even the possibility of hosting a home game with the East division title on the line, there's little hope of Bayless' daily Dallas diatribes coming to an end any time soon. After Sunday's visit to New England, the Cowboys play three more team in playoff contention, including a crucial division showdown on December 22 in Philadelphia, the penultimate game of the season.

Tito Vilanova praised the improving David Villa in the wake of Barcelona s 2-0 Copa del Rey win over Cordoba on Wednesday.
Spain international Villa featured for 84 minutes before he was taken off, and Vilanova feels the former Valencia marksman is nearly back to his best again after sustaining a fractured leg at the 2011 Club World Cup.
I m very pleased with the work he s done. He provided the assist for (Lionel) Messi and he gave us a lot of options up top, Vilanova told the official Barcelona website.
He played with a lot of rhythm and he reminded me of the footballer he was before his injury.

Real Madrid extended their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions with a straightforward 2-0 win over struggling Espanyol on Saturday.
Raphael Varane opened his season account and sent Los Blancos on their way to a fourth consecutive LaLiga victory with a left-footed finish in the 37th minute.
Karim Benzema made the points safe when he swept home Federico Valverde s pass 11 minutes from full-time, making Ferland Mendy s late sending off for a needless second booking the only blight on an otherwise unfussy showing.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman insists he is committed to the club amid links to the vacant Everton post.
The Dutchman is reportedly a target for the Merseyside club to replace Roberto Martinez, who was sacked on Thursday after one win in their last 10 Premier League matches.
Koeman – who is contracted until next year – has led Southampton well since arriving at the start of the 2014-15 campaign, and has guided them to seventh and a shot at Europe this term.

Michael O’Neill said his Northern Ireland players were “angry and upset” after teenage debutant Callum Marshall saw a stoppage-time equaliser ruled out by VAR for a marginal decision in Friday’s 1-0 Euro 2024 qualifying defeat to Denmark.
Marshall had only been on the pitch for a few minutes when the West Ham youngster flicked on Jonny Evans’ header to find the corner of the net, cancelling out Jonas Wind’s 47th-minute strike and sparking huge celebrations amongst the 1,700 travelling fans.
But hearts sank as referee Daniel Stefanski signalled a VAR check that would last a full five minutes, with Tomasz Kwiatkowski taking an age to review the footage before determining that Evans had been fractionally offside when the free-kick was sent into the box.
