It appeared ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky had a hard time focusing on his job after he realized what his colleague, Laura Rutledge, showed up to work in earlier this week.

Orlovsky, a favorite at The Worldwide Leader in Sports due to his objectivity and top-tier analysis, has had some awkward moments on live television. Fans won’t soon forget him sniffing former ‘First Take’ moderator Molly Qerim’s shoe in front of the cameras.

And we reckon there will be a few more, not including this recent one, by the time it’s all said and done.

For now, the former NFL quarterback is enjoying a run under the Disney umbrella, though that hardly means it’s been easy.

Dan Orlovsky Definitely Failed The See-Through Test

Orlovsky was recently faced with the challenge of getting through ‘NFL Live’ without staring at Rutledge’s chest… And, boy, did he fail.

Of course, it’s hard to blame him, given that he could see right through her outfit.

Check him out below:

It didn’t take long for the memes to start hitting the internet:

“I mean he did sniff Molly Qerim’s heels on live tv so @danorlovsky7🤷🏻,” someone pointed out.


“I wouldn’t be able to work there it’s ridiculous,” a fan admitted.

“Hey she wore a see through shirt. They want you to look if you doing that,” another suggested.

“Credit to Dan. She’s smoking hot, and that was a helluva hot outfit,” someone claimed.

“I don’t even know how them mfs focus on football working with her 😂😂,” a user laughed.

At least the fans are on his side. They definitely get it.

This isn’t to say that he shouldn’t have exerted a bit more self-control while live on air, but it happens to the best of us, right?

ESPN banned Orlovsky, and Rutledge, for that matter, amid a prior controversy. However, the network is unlikely to even issue a verbal reprimand over his latest moment of weakness.

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 rebounds6 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.
