NBC announcer Cris Collinsworth had social media going wild after making an incredibly racy comment during ‘Sunday Night Football’.

The Los Angeles Chargers hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers in a highly anticipated matchup on the night of November 9, yet no touchdowns were scored until late in the second quarter, as defenses dominated for the majority of the first half.

Collinsworth, who recently went viral for his comments about the White House, pointed out that, while fans were likely unhappy with the lack of action on offense, the coaches must have been pleased with the scoreline, which was 5-3 in favor of the Chargers at the time.

Then he went on to suggest that someone would have to score at some point.

“Eventually, someone needs to bust one out,” he said.

Social media had a field day with the comment.

“Did Chris Collinsworth just say “someone need to bust one out”?  😀🫤,” someone asked.

“Collinsworth: eventually somebody has to bust one out. PAUSE,” said a sacond.

““Somebody needs to bust one out” Excuse me Chris Collinsworth?????” exclaimed a third.

“At some point someone needs to bust one out”… Cris Collinsworth chilllllll #SNF,” a user shared.

“

“No way Chris Collinsworth just said someone needs to bust one out,“ said another.

“Eventually, somebody needs to bust one out.” – Cris Collinsworth,” a comment read.

“SOMEONE GET CRIS COLLINSWORTH OUT OF THE BOOTH WTF IS HE SAYING???? “Bust one out” … yeah I’m going to bed,” one fan wrote.

Someone did end up in the end zone before the end of the half. Ladd McConkey scored the first touchdown of the game with just 12 seconds left on the clock, making a 15-yard catch to give L.A. a 12-3 lead heading into halftime.

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.
