Legendary NFL commentator Al Michaels made an embarrassing blunder during the Philadelphia Eagles-New York Giants contest on ‘Thursday Night Football.’

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit were in the broadcast booth for the Giants-Eagles prime-time game at MetLife Stadium. The duo have been together in the ‘TNF’ broadcast booth since 2022, when Amazon Prime Video took over the Thursday night packages.

During the first quarter, Michaels incorrectly stated that the Giants traded star running back Saquon Barkley, when he actually signed with the archrival Eagles as a free agent in the 2024 offseason.

“I said a trade; he signed as a free agent,” Al Michaels said for clarity. “The Giants only wish they’d gotten something for him.”

The Giants curiously decided to hold onto Barkley through the 2023 trade deadline, only to watch him walk to free agency. He signed a three-year deal worth $37.75 million with the Eagles, joining the 2K club and winning Offensive Player of the Year honors before leading Philly to a Super Bowl 59 championship.

If it makes Michaels feel better, Herbstreit also made a mistake on ‘TNF’ two weeks ago when he said that Kyler Murray was part of the 2018 NFL Draft class. Murray was actually drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 1 pick in 2019.

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.
