Jason Garrett hasn’t made a strong impression in the broadcast booth for the Cincinnati Bengals-Baltimore Ravens Thanksgiving game.

Mike Tirico is usually paired with Cris Collinsworth for the NBC Sports “Sunday Night Football” program, but he got this game off for Thanksgiving Thursday. With Collinsworth away, Jason Garrett was paired with Tirico in the booth.

Fans, however, aren’t at all pleased with the performance of the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and head coach.

“Jason Garrett is the green bean casserole of color commentators working Thanksgiving games,” a fan wrote.

“A Holiday Tradition unlike any other: Jason Garrett’s smile creating Thanksgiving nightmare fuel for children across the land,” said another.

“Cris Collinsworth is so annoying!” *Jason Garrett enters the booth,*“ said a fan.

“NBC couldn’t get anyone else to replace Collinsville tonight than Jason Garrett?” another asked.

“Seriously, who thought that Jason Garrett would be a good announcer for a full game, let alone be put on the Thanksgiving slate,” a fan added.

“i don’t like saying professionals bad at their job, but jason garrett is not a fun listen” a user commented.

After the Cowboys declined to renew Jason Garrett’s contract in 2020, he was hired as the New York Giants’ offensive coordinator. However, he was fired in the midst of the 2021 season as the Daniel Jones-led offense continued to underperform.

NBC Sports announced in the 2022 offseason that had hired Garrett.

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.
