The Ryan Kennedy-DK Metcalf saga is far from over.

The saga between Detroit Lions fan Ryan Kennedy and Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver is far from over.

During Sunday’s game between the Lions and Steelers at Ford Field, cameras caught DK Metcalf exchanging words with a Detroit fan, later identified as Ryan Kennedy. Metcalf, apparently unhappy with something said, punched Kennedy in the face.

On Monday, the NFL announced that Metcalf was suspended for the final two regular-season games. He appealed the decision, but it was upheld by the NFL, while Kennedy avoided a punishment from the Lions and the league.

But Kennedy and his attorneys aren’t ready to put the saga to a close. Not even during the cheerful holiday season.

Per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, Kennedy’s attorneys are holding a press conference this Friday. They’ll speak on “the assault, correct misinformation that has been publicly repeated as fact, and discuss the serious consequences Mr. Kennedy has faced.”

Further details aren’t precise at this time. One could guess that it might be a lawsuit against DK Metcalf and/or the NFL. We’ll have to wait and see what they say on Friday.

DK Metcalf Could Lose Up To $45 Million Over Suspension

After the Steelers acquired Metcalf in an offseason trade with the Seattle Seahawks, he agreed to a four-year extension worth $132 million. However, there’s important language in his contract that Metcalf should have kept in mind all season.

The contract states that Metcalf could have $45 million voided because of a suspension. So, it’s imperative that the 28-year-old stays healthy and continues to produce at a Pro Bowl level. If he does that, the Steelers will happily keep him on board.

Metcalf will miss Pittsburgh’s final two games, but he’ll be eligible to return for the postseason. The Steelers need just one more victory or a Baltimore Ravens loss to clinch the AFC North.

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.
