It’s not generally expected that Tom Brady will make everyone furious by talking about dogs during an NFL broadcast. But it really happened on Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears made a great win against the Cowboys 31-14, yet the talks after the game weren’t about Chicago’s rookie coach or Dallas’ struggles. It was about Brady’s strange choice of words on national television.

The seven-time Super Bowl champ now works in the booth for Fox Sports. Late in the game, the cameras caught Cowboys receiver George Pickens slamming his helmet in frustration.

Brady chimed in with a line that immediately set social media on fire: “Kick the dog, throw the helmet, whatever it takes.”

Also, fans were already unhappy with Brady’s overall performance on the broadcast. That frustration spread online, with many suggesting Fox should reconsider his hiring.

PETA Steps In After Brady’s On-Air Remark

PETA told TMZ Sports it couldn’t believe Brady said it. The group said it knows Brady has shown kindness to animals in the past, so the comment caught everyone off guard. “We were as confused as everyone else by his comment about ‘kicking the dog at home,’” the organization said.

The animal rights group used the moment to remind him about his influence. “PETA encourages Brady to remember that millions of people listen to him,” the group said. “The language we use can encourage kindness or violence towards animals, and we should never normalize taking our frustration out on a beloved companion.”

To drive the point home, PETA even offered a list of alternative idioms. Instead of “kick the dog,” they suggested sayings like “act like an ogre” or “back the wrong team.” The idea is simple: swap out old phrases tied to animals for ones that don’t encourage cruelty.

Brady hasn’t responded directly, but his $300 million Fox Sports deal means he will return to the booth in Week 4. His words will remain under the microscope, especially after his name already surfaced in connection with a wild rumor that he felt responded to.

For Brady, Year 2 in broadcasting is already being scrutinized a lot.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
