He wanted this to happen?

A new video has surfaced online showing Ryan Kennedy, the fan involved in the altercation with DK Metcalf, from a different angle. And he’s heard making a questionable 4-word statement after getting struck.

Metcalf and Kennedy got into it during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Kennedy, a Lions fan, said something to the wide receiver that caused him to snap.

The two-time Pro Bowler was shown on the CBS broadcast holding Kennedy and then swinging on him.

A video recorded by a fan positioned behind Kennedy has emerged, and he can be heard saying, “That was the goal.”

Check it out right below:

Begs the question, what was the goal?

Was he trying to get Metcalf to hit him?

It’s reported that the two have some history. Kennedy was involved in a verbal confrontation with Metcalf during a game between the Lions and Seattle Seahawks last season. According to reports, the wideout pointed him out to security at one point.

It’s since been reported that Kennedy is considering legal action.

He told the Detroit Free Press he was not disrespectful toward Metcalf, and all he did was refer to the player by his full name.

“He doesn’t like his government name. I called him that and then he grabbed me and ripped my shirt,” he said. “I’m a little shocked. Like everyone’s talking to me. I’m a little rattled, but I just want the Lions to win, baby.”

A source close to Metcalf has offered a different version of events. Kennedy has been accused of insulting the WR’s mother and calling him “something we both know you don’t call a Black man.”

Metcalf was not tossed from the game but has been suspended for the final pair of regular-season fixtures.

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.
