New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson will be taking on a new job during his team’s bye.

Wilson joined the Giants on a one-year deal after a season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was quickly benched in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart earlier this year.

Dart, who seemingly took a shot at the veteran signal-caller, doesn’t appear in danger of relinquishing that spot anytime soon, given his excellent performances under center.

The Giants have won just two games this season and won’t be in action in Week 14. And Wilson, a healthy scratch for the first time in his 14-year career on Monday night, will be in the CBS broadcast booth as a guest analyst on Sunday.

“Thrilled to have 10x Pro Bowler, 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year and Super Bowl Champion @DangeRussWilson on to talk ball this Sunday,” the network announced on Thursday.

CBS has Sunday’s late-afternoon Broncos-Raiders game, which could make things awkward if he’s on the call, given the shot he took at Sean Payton earlier in the season.

Russell Wilson Soft Launching Post-Football Career

Wilson has fallen behind Jameis Winston in the pecking order in NY. As a result, he was a healthy scratch on Monday. However, he isn’t looking to leave before the end of the season.

“I haven’t asked for a release or anything like that, because I want to be here,” he said last month, per SNY. “But I think for me, I just want to get better every day. I still want to keep playing football — I love it, obviously. And I feel like I’ve still got it. So that’s what I want to be able to do.”

The Giants have just four more games left to play this season, with no postseason football in sight. This means Wilson will be a free agent in just a few weeks.

It appears he’s already preparing for a life after football. It will be interesting to see how he does in the broadcast booth.

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.
