The Ravens did John Harbaugh dirty.

A new report has revealed the disrespectful way in which John Harbaugh was fired this week.

Harbaugh was among NFL head coaches who were axed following Week 18’s results. His dismissal was perhaps the most surprising.

According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec and Dianna Russini, no one saw it coming.

The insiders report that Harbaugh held a final team meeting before the players cleaned out their lockers, thanking his players and staff for their efforts during what was a challenging season.

“We exited the meeting thinking there would probably be a few coaching staff changes, maybe a coordinator change. That’s usually how it works,” a veteran player was quoted as saying.

“Then, the next day, everything got turned on its head.”

Harbaugh also met with general manager Eric DeCosta, executive vice president Ozzie Newsome and team president Sashi Brown on Monday. He is said to have discussed his vision for the team and coaching staff moving forward.

While the situation was “unsettled,” there were people pushing for Harbaugh’s return.

However, according to the report, owner Steve Bisciotti fired the 63-year-old over the phone while he was driving home from the team facility.

“It was neither a resignation nor a mutual parting. He was relieved of his duties,” Zrebiec and Russini note.

The manner in which Harbaugh was fired was certainly unexpected, given he had been the Ravens HC for close to two decades, but the NFL is a brutal business.

Harbaugh also shouldn’t be out of a job long, with teams around the league thought to be desperate to bring him in.

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.
