second disclaimer: im delusional yes and a part of me straight up thinks that theyāve had to have hooked up at least once bc i love to psychoanalyze people i'll never meet but iāll make sure to say when iām being fully delusional KSDJFHSKDS
putting it under a read more because iām sure itāll be much longer than necessary
also i will reblog this and add links to some videos!!
SO before i get into like when ceedee was drafted and such i wanna talk about how invisible string coded they are because i love shit like this sm
both were born in louisiana only about an hour and a half apart from each other until ceedee moved to texas as a child after hurricane katrina hit (heās said heās moved around a couple of times as kid in interviews before)
dak went to mississippi st. in college and ceedeeās dream school was LSU (rival collegesā¦ š¬) but he had committed to oklahoma (also they wouldnāt have met or anything in college anyway because dak was drafted in 2016 and ceedee started playing in college in 2017 but i digress it makes my brain light up anyway lol)
when dak was drafted he was projected to go like late second round/early third round of the draft but šæ he got into some trouble beforehand (driving under the influence) and ended up falling to the 4th round (after the front office kept trying to trade up to get a different backup QB)
dak also had to compete for his spot as a backup and was named starter after romo was injured in 2016. this was dakās rookie year and he led them to the playoffs - almost to the nfc championship game. after this he basically took the job from romo
okay so FAST FORWARD to the 2020 draft. ceedee was projected to go top 10 and he fell all the way to SEVENTEEN so the cowboys were able to grab him then (drafted bpa instead of for need)
idk all of this is just very <333 to me that so many things managed to fall into place just right and they managed to find each other on the same team out of THIRTY TWO teams it makes me weeeep š¤§ also just something else that i think is very cute because i truly am a little insane: ceedee was born april 8th and dakās jersey number is 4 and ceedeeās is 88 so 4/8 ALL THE DOTS CONNECT SOMEHOWā¦
so weāll go through a teensy bit about dak i suppose and then ceedee this wonāt be too long
dak: baby of his family and has two brothers. his parents divorced when he was little and he was very close with his mom before she passed away in 2013 (heās started a foundation since then for cancer research and suicide prevention/mental health). went to mississippi st, cowboys starter his rookie year, etc etc. he also lost his brother to suicide in 2020 and heās said before he feels a responsibility to live on and carry his and his momās legacy throughout his life. heās like suuuuuper underrated in the league i feel and a lot of cowboys fans are complete assholes to him all the time it makes me so mad cos they could literally never ever make me hate him - he makes me so weepy ššš umm but yeah heās donated a ton to children cancer funds too and donated during BLM protests and things like that - he won the walter payton man of the year award. he just had a baby and got engaged in october (remember for the yaoi LOL) ok im gonna stop here cause i donāt wanna rant too much lol
btw i know what you are dak prescott:
ceedee: MY BELOVEDā¦ my favorite my absolute favorite. he has two brothers and two little sisters. idk if heās the eldest or not tbh i see different things all the time that heās the second eldest whatever not that important i guess. so blah blah college blah blah - he wears 88 on the team because thatās considered really special to the cowboys franchise and is reserved for elite receivers. idk heās the most beautiful man ever and he does a lot of donating too - i know he participates in a lot of football youth camps a lot to help kids out and he likes to provide meals to families around thanksgiving and christmas time. a loooot of cowboys fans have criticized him for not being that much of a leader and pouting a lot on the sidelines (which he does sometimesā¦ my mimir) but i think this last season heās reaaaaallyyy taken a step into more of a leader type position especially with dak being out and heās proven himself more than enough. he LOOOVES spending money on clothes itās so cuteā¦ gonna be a sad day when the class war happens and iām faced with cedarian lamb. ummm i also legit think heās gay and closet is made of glass but whatever
see this is the problem i never stfu but okay CEEDAK what you actually asked about ksjdksjdks
PRE-2020 SEASON: this was before ceedee was drafted (some stuff i found last night) and this is what i mean when i say i havenāt done like a deep dive into these things bc iām sure thereās soo much more but this kinda gives the general vibes
āI was like a little kid at the playground,ā CeeDee tells us. (on the first time Dak texted him to invite him over to his house, says it was surreal.) august 21, 2020
and i actually hunted the exact clip down where he says this: (will reblog with link - skip to 4:25 he talks for like a minute or so - sorry the audioās funky itās because of covid so all the reporters werenāt in the room iām pretty sure) DELUSIONS: you canāt tell me ceedee wasnāt nursing a crush here idgaf
2020 SEASON:
ceedeeās rookie year
personal stuff happened with dak before the season started - this is when he lost his brother to suicide and heās been really outspoken about mental health since then. on top of that he broke his ankle during week 5 of the season (and tried to snap it back into place by himself on the field). dak was performing on like a sort of insane level before the injury happened so </3 what couldāve been and all thatā¦ the what-ifs of it allā¦ so that year they werenāt able to play together as much
Oct 11, 2020: āCeeDee Lamb said he texted Dak as soon as he got out of the shower. Thanked him for everything heās done for him and they were gonna hold it down for him until they see him on the field again.ā (after the game dak got hurt in)
POST 2020 SEASON:
"He came back from his second surgery about two months ago so heās walking around, rehabbing, doing everything right," Lamb said Wednesday. "Itās great to see, especially when you seen him go down. You saw the look in his eyes and you saw how sad he was and how much this game meant to him. Just to see him smiling again, happy again, being with his guys is a great deal."
"First day he kind of caught me by surprise with his arm strength," Lamb said. "He knows the little nuances of the game to be better. He makes it easy to follow him, if you will."
2021 SEASON
ceedeeās second year, he was in a WR room with amari cooper (currently on the bills) and michael gallup (now retired) blah blah season happened whateverrrr but AFTER this season the front office (iāll always be mad about this lol) traded amari to the browns for a 5th round pick š hence THIS!!! which i consider the #Real beginning of ceedak:
āDak Prescott asked for CeeDee Lambās locker to be moved next to his: āMy two other locker mates left, so I was a little lonely. With him being young, hopefully heās my WR until Iām done playing. Just bring him closer, more conversations, heās right there to talk and communicate.āā
said he had no doubt ceedee could become his "main guy"
hereās some fun stuff i found from 2021 too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3hCmIZN-YI&ab_channel=DallasCowboys (7 min mark this was after a game winning td in overtime against new england)
āCeeDee Lamb on game-winning 35-yard TD: āIt was the best feeling ever, honestly.āā
2022 SEASON:
https://youtu.be/T73xGDsFiVo?si=Qn_dwK1yfnHPiMya talks about dak here at 7:50 āall i need is himā š¤§
heās actually said this a couple times lol he says shit like āweāre all we gotā about each other - heās said it this most recent season too so <3
dak injured his thumb this season though so he was out for like 7 weeks i think i canāt remember off the top of my head lol but again another season where they didnāt get to play much together
fun 2022 stuff:
āLast year, Cowboys caked Dak in the face on the field for his 28th birthday. On his 29th today, CeeDee told us they planned to do the same in the locker room. Hoped Dak would think he was safe after no cake on the field, and then locker room ambush.ā
āScene here: Dak was talking to us at his locker. CeeDee walks past wearing metallic red lens sunglasses indoors and eating chicken. Says the key to following up ass-kicking is ākeep kicking ass.āā
āDak on CeeDeeās vibe: Yeah, cool as hell - says ākeep kicking assā while heās eating.ā
āDak Prescott walked by during our interview with CeeDee Lamb - QB1: CeeDeeās that dude! / WR1: Happy birthday, Dak!ā
link posted in reblog: skip to 2:30 he almost says he loves dak lol also very </3 because dak hurt his ankle in 2020 by running and getting tackled
2023: THE SEASON OF CEEDAK!!!
https://youtu.be/7_WRIzb5fPA?si=R0TETc2qtW0IOP5P the infamous "was gonna take him out for dinner tonight" clip is from this aka what got me hooked on ceedak lol (this interview is just so good in general i love ceedee sm - def recommend watching! such a nice look at his personality)
this is where my delusions take over i deadass think they hooked up at LEAST once around this time lol maybe end of 2022 season maybe early 2023 season IDK but anyway during this year the offense was soo wack for a couple of weeks until the bye week and then ceedee made some noise about it bc he felt like he wasn't being as utilized (which is true i'm so serious mccarthy was SUCH an annoying coach lol) but quotes:
āCowboys WR CeeDee Lamb said Dak Prescott approached him and said: āIf you have a problem with anything, just come up to me and weāll talk about it.ā Lamb said he and Dak worked on getting on the same page their first day back in the building after the 49ers loss.ā
Dak: āI mean, a frustrated player that feels like we all couldāve done better and feels like he can change the game, I understand it. I really do. So itās in the sense of just communicating with himā¦ CeeDee is a guy that Iāll never lose confidence in and trust who he is and understand why heās frustrated. But at the end of the day, heās a leader. Itās about him leading other guys and picking other guys up and him just trying to make sure weāre all pushing our best. Thatās where the frustration is, we have to remove that. And he will. Heās a young player thatās growing by the day and heāll only get better. Heāll be better because of that.ā
but after they switched the offense around dak and ceedee went craaaazyyy - ceedee was named all pro, dak was in mvp talks (should have won it to be honest i'm sorry lamar i still love you <3) but 2023 cowboys will seriously haunt me forever lol
DELUSIONS: dak announced he was having a baby like two weeks after this game SO letās just sayā¦. maybeā¦. perhapsā¦ they were hooking upā¦ ceedee probably knew before the public did - not saying thatās why he seems a little upset at the beginning of this clip cause who knows š¤·āāļø like i said DELUSIONS butā¦ i canāt help it when the timeline timelines donāt shoot the messenger
also i do wanna mention that dakās fiance follows a loooot of cowboys players on ig but she does not follow ceedee and he doesnāt follow her AGAIN just delusionsā¦. butā¦ iykyk š
sooo they were poppin off in 2023, ceedee was breaking records and shit, won nfc east, went to the playoffs and then i DON'T wanna talk about it i have my theories about wtf happened during that playoffs packers game but šš anyway the offseason before the 2024 season was genuinely the worst of my life because BOTH ceedee and dak had to get extended and jerry jones (who is the worst) waited until after training camp to get them both signed lol so ceedee wasn't participating in training camp at all which affected them in the beginning of the 2024 season which was a complete mess A MESS but here's some fun stuff after ceedee signed his extension/during that offseason
āRemarkable. Thatās who CeeDee Lamb is. ā¦ Heās special. Heās just getting going and as long as Iām here, heās gonna keep stacking these records year after year.ā
āCeeDee Lamb strongly defended Dak: No one deserves the criticism that he gets. The way he gets talked about is crazy.ā
2023-2024 OFFSEASON:
worst months of my life lol ceedee was holding out for his new contract and didnāt get it signed until likeā¦ august i think? anddd dak was signed fucking three hours before kickoff the first week of the season lol i HATE this front office
but hereās some fun quotes after ceedee was signed:
CeeDee Lamb: āWe were texting quite a bit. Obviously I missed being out there, competing with himā¦ for is being so in tune together and all it takes is one text message or one conversation, one phone callā¦ for us bothā¦ having the same passion for the game, same love for the game. I want whatās best for Dak and vice versa. Shout out to him too for getting that bag, too. Weāll be together for the next five years.ā
Dak Prescott on CeeDee Lambās added muscle weight: āHeās wearing a lot more sleeveless shirts. As long as the speed is there, and it looks like it is (in practice), Iām fine with however big he is.ā LMAO??
Dak Prescott: āI peeped the biceps. Heās wearing more sleeveless shirts now.ā
Dak Prescott recently on CeeDee Lamb: āHeās talented. He works hard. Heās special. Heās the best receiver in the league for a reason. And Iāve seen Instagram videos. I know youāve seen him. Heās working. And he works hard. So I have no angst, no worries about when he gets here that weāre not going to pick up where we left off. And when you're a stud like that and youāre smart like he is and youāre good at communicating, that makes that process that much easier. So itās not like weāve got to build something. Weāve got that. We just got to reignite it when he gets here.ā
on how much ceedee worked with dak at the field at dakās house even though he was staying away from the team: āOften. I would say quite often. Anytime that Iām back in town, and heās obviously back here, I hit him and thenā¦ itās veryā¦ good having a rich quarterback.ā
Dak Prescottās thoughts on the tandem of him and CeeDee Lamb being compared to legendary duos like Joe Montana and Jerry Rice: āI think that says a lot just cause weāve only done it for four years and you just named some of those duos that did it for their whole careers. But then again, I feel like we can be better than all of themā¦ so love the comparisons, they sound good and all, but hopefully one day people are saying these next duos and next tandems can be like me and CeeDee.ā (i will kms over this quote one day)
iām sure thereās things iām missing but this is already sooooo long lol so
2024 SEASON:
WORST SEASON OF MY LIFEEEEEE / ceedak angst era
the front office set this team up to fail and let like a ton of players walk in the offseason, didnāt use free agency, injury riddled team, had a bunch of rookies starting but anyway just gonna go game by game really quick because this is when i was locked tf in and itās more recent so ?? more detail seems alright when it's necessary also i wrote so many half-finished post-game fics this season to cope with how terrible it was iām cryingggg it was insane
cowboys vs browns: i was at this game :) good game they won
cowboys vs saints: blocked this game out actually!!!
cowboys vs ravens: fake ass comeback also the game ceedee CRASHED OUT on the field lskdjslkdjsskjdsk which is so funny bc i literally love lamar sm and was so excited to watch butā¦ my players wanted to make me MISERABLE
this was said a day or two after the game by ceedee (bc he fumbled during it and then wasn't there for post game media people andddd was yelling at dak on the sideline šæ)
āOur relationship has, if anything, gotten stronger. Donāt let what, whatās out there fool you. Weāre brothers to the end. We know that we all we got, and I tip my hat off to him. I got the utmost respect for him.ā
āSo with that being said, everything is gonna come out - the energy, the passion, the love, the fight - and then weāll make up in the end. So no, no craziness now. Donāt.ā
dak also said something about his rhythm with ceedee being a ārare feelingā whichā¦ okay internalized homophobia but i CANNOT for the life of me find the actual quote iāve searched through my gallery but itās not there </3 if i find iāll add later (iām pretty sure it was after the baltimore game but i canāt remember)
cowboys vs giants: this is a tremicah game no need to mention ceedak idt - nasty ugly win but whatever
cowboys vs steelers: dak prescott giving me a heart attack 12 fucking times during this game
cowboys vs lions: donāt wanna talk about it! iām a hater! always will be sorry!!! ben johnson statpadding on my sorry ass terrible team i was SICKKKKK
BYE WEEK: my trials and tribulationsā¦. my nfl rpfā¦
CeeDee Lamb on getting in some extra work with Dak Prescott during their bye week: āWe love our bye weeks. We took advantage of it. We got right. We used every opportunity to get better and I feel like itās going to show. We got on some routes, and obviously the timing is everything. We needed that.ā
now ummm this is the week dak got engaged so. which is really funny because after the announcement post on ig ceedee went GHOST on instagramksjdjks like i went back to check because iām crazy (these are delusions btw) and he had been posting like once a weekā¦ maybe once every two weeks PRETTY consistently like for at least a couple of months but after the engagement happened there was pretty much nothing for likeā¦ almost two months?? ummm which AGAIN iām not saying anything iām not insinuating anything buuuuutā¦ā¦ buuuuutā¦.. also itās really fucking funny because in this same interview ceedee dropped that he left the country during the bye week but didnāt post it on socials at all so iām like ohhhhā¦ youāre coping w the engagementā¦ i see LMAO anyway
cowboys vs 49ers: sigghhhhā¦.. lets get into it
SO this was a loss but two ceedee touchdowns.. iām leaving with something!!!
āYeah, I found CeeDee,ā Prescott said when reflecting back on Lambās breakout in the Bay Area. āHe did a good job of getting open, running all of his routes hard no matter where he was, if he was the one or if he was backside on a concept. Loved his intentionality in the game. He kind of said something like that to me during the game, midway through the game, like āYeah, weāre back.ā And that was before, I think, his two touchdown drives. So just him even playing with that confidence, communicating that, it gives me a lot of confidence.ā
super hopeful right maybe they'll really connect again and things'll be fine LOL
cowboys vs falcons: worst game ever dak tore his hamstring off the bone like a fucking idiot and ceedee sprained his AC joint and would not stop going back out into the game i was ready to kms
cowboys vs eagles: not talking about it idc
cowboys vs texans: loss because ofc but whatever ceedak hugged before the game tho so i didnāt gaf about the loss - i canāt find the clip rn but if i do iāll post it
cowboys vs commanders: this is when i accepted they were tanking and then they decided to just be elite for whatever reason lol made me so happy though ceedee was so happy <33
cowboys vs giants: whatever
cowboys vs bengals: worst fucking game of my life nothing to do with ceedak but one of my other fave playerās (i also ship him w ceedee idgaf) knee EXPLODED so that was so much fun to deal with
cowboys vs panthers: i still canāt believe bryce young decided to forget how to play football in this game im crying
cowboys vs tampa: again they just wanted to be elite for whatever reason
cowboys vs: eagles: donāt wanna talk about it idc
cowboys vs commanders: WHATEVER thanks for the 12th draft pick ashton jeanty you will be a cowboy
SO. thatās basically where everything's at lmfao worst season EVERRRRR with ceedak ANGST um but yeah hopefully 2025 will be better... iām cautiously optimistic because their old coach is finally FINALLY gone because he was really limiting them and their ability you know? 2023 season was amazing and then 2024 started and it was likeā¦ mccarthy just reverted back to his old scheme that wasnāt working. it was really annoyingksdkskds. but the new coach (despite it seeming like a silly hire) had a decent press conference (that ceedee didnāt attend bc he was playing around in paris LOL) andddd he seems to be setting up a nice staff around him so hopefully hopefully hopefully 2025 is a lot better and ceedak will save me againā¦ canāt wait for training camp omg
anyway if u read all this iām SO sorry i hope itāsā¦ expansive enough?? i wanted to include kind of how itās been through the years and i had a lot more to add for 2023/2024 because thatās when my adhd was just like Yea letās hyperfixate on this so. been stuck here for awhile and iāll probably be stuck here for years and years and years <3
