For what seems like the hundredth time, Ryan Clark was forced to deliver an apology to the public.

The former LSU player and current ESPN analyst appeared on the network’s show, “First Take,” to apologize for comments he made about the crash that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall and led to the arrest of Kyren Lacy.

The longtime ESPN analyst apologized Thursday after wrongly declaring former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was innocent and that his name would’ve been cleared in connection with a fatal 2024 crash.

Clark previously wouldn’t allow Monday Night Football to go off the air without speaking on the footage that Lacy’s attorney provided. Lacy was accused of causing a deadly vehicle crash last year, but newly released video of the crash seemingly showed that he was 72 yards behind the vehicles that collided.

The Louisiana State Police released new video this week showing that Lacy’s green Dodge Charger was definitely driving recklessly in the wrong lane just before the collision that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall.

It contradicted almost everything Clark had said on air during Monday Night Football.

“The Louisiana State Police is committed to providing a thorough and objective investigation grounded in science and supported by facts,” the state police said in a release Tuesday, per NBC News.

His apology to everyone simply wasn’t enough, and fans began to call for his job.

“ESPN HAS to fire Ryan Clark,” one fan said.

“Ryan Clark has had to apologize three times in three straight months: race-shaming RGIII for marrying a white woman, an on-air and off-air blowup with Peter Schrager, Now, over his Kyren Lacy comments. How many more apologies until they fire him?” a second person wrote.

“When is ESPN going to fire Ryan Clark? How many apologies does he get?” a third fan asked.

The 24-year-old Kyren Lacy was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Houston following a police pursuit after an alleged altercation with a family member.

Lacy took his own life days before a grand jury was set to hear evidence in the case. There is no way to know if he would’ve been charged or not.

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.
