Shedeur Sanders admits life was hard under Kevin Stefanski.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders had one word to describe head coach Kevin Stefanski after the final game of their season on Sunday.

The Browns ended their campaign on a winning note. They beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-18 in a game that saw Myles Garrett break the single-season sack record.

Meanwhile, Shedeur’s rookie season is in the books. He had a difficult path to the starting job but ended up as Stefanski’s man under center late in the season.

The quarterback described his HC as “tough” while speaking to reporters after the win.

“He’s been real tough, real tough. It’s good, and I think I grew and learned a lot from him,” he offered. “This week we had a conversation just about things, and I feel like we grew to understand each other.”

“He’s only ever been coached by his dad, any coach is going to seem “real tough” one fan commented.

“Smh y’all stay trying to get Shedeur to say something negative about his head coach. I’m glad he’s smart enough not to take the bait,” said a second.

“Good answer…..im really proud of this brotha. Stay strong shedeur,” another wrote.

Sanders appeared in eight games for Cleveland this season, starting seven. He ends his rookie season with 1,400 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.

The Browns have closed 2025 with a 5-12 record, with the rookie QB accounting for three of their wins. However, his future remains uncertain.

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.
