Michael Strahan was not holding back.

Once again, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is under heavy fire. It wasn’t just that his team lost at home to a depleted San Francisco 49ers team or that his confidence in OC Kevin Patullo may have cost his team the season.

If that wasn’t bad enough, he also made the rounds for a now-viral sideline argument with A.J. Brown. Sirianni was caught on camera yelling at his star wide receiver, and the spat sparked plenty of criticism.

Notably, some of that came from NFL legend Michael Strahan. Following the loss, the defensive star-turned analyst didn’t hold back on Sirianni and his treatment of his star:

“I don’t understand why Sirianni’s running down there and yelling at one of his star players, A.J. Brown,” Strahan said. “You know, A.J. Brown wanted to get involved in the game, I’m sure. They took two big shots with him, maybe he said, ‘Give me a shot,’ and the coach said, ‘You had your chance, you better catch the ball next time.’ But I don’t understand why you do that in the middle of a game like this, because I don’t think that brings out the best in your players. I think it takes away from your players. I think it takes away from the attitude of the team and the energy of the team.”

This isn’t the first time that Sirianni has done something like this. And while he’s got an impressive résumé, he doesn’t have the best reputation in the league because of stuff like that.

Sirianni was visibly upset after the loss, as one would expect. Then again, he still wanted to clear the air on the situation.

Following the defeat, Sirianni acknowledged that it was just a thing of the heat of the moment. He reassured that everything is well between both parties, and there’s nothing to be worried about:

“I was trying to get him off the field because we were about to punt, and that was really it. I love A.J. I think he knows how I feel about him. I have a special relationship with him,” Sirianni said, per Yahoo Sports. “We’ve probably went through every emotion you can possibly have together. We’ve laughed together, cried together, yelled at each other. We’re both emotional. I was trying to get him off the field. That happens in this game. But I love him. We’ve yelled at each other before. It’s nothing new. We’re both passionate and want to win. That’s all it was.”

Even so, A.J. Brown has been a talking point for all the wrong reasons recently. He’s gone back and forth with the team and doesn’t seem too comfortable with his situation and the state of the offense.

Moving a player with such a big contract won’t be easy. But regardless of whether they fire Nick Sirianni or not, GM Howie Roseman might have to explore all his options regarding Brown.

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.
