It must have been a good Christmas.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne sort of put his wife on blast after earning an extra half-a-mil last week.

Bourne triggered a $500,000 contract incentive against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. He needed to reach the 500 receiving-yard mark to do so.

The WR was pretty excited and forgot to keep the ball he caught to hit the number. He also sold his wife out, exposing her expensive taste.

Bourne has gotten to 500 yards three times in his career. But this season marked his first since he tallied 800 for the New England Patriots in 2021.

The wideout signed a one-year deal to return to the Niners in September. He spent his first four years in the NFL with the NFC West side before spending the next four in New England.

He secured an additional $500 last week and can take home another $250,000 if he gets to 600 yards.

NBC’s Melissa Stark discussed the incentive during the 49ers’ win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. She revealed he forgot all about the ball.

She also let the player’s wife, Vanessa, know she’d been dimed out.

“He said he’s glad it’s over because he never wants to create a distraction. But it was perfect timing, right before Christmas,” Stark said.“Because he said, ‘My wife Vanessa is expensive.”

She added:

“So she was just as happy as I was.’ Yes, Vannessa, he sold you out. And how about this? He has another incentive on the horizon. If he gets to 600 yards, that’s another $250,000 payday.”

Check out the video below:

Bourne has 551 receiving yards to his name. He needs another 49 to get that additional $250K.

Fortunately, he’s a 49er.

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 rebounds6 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.
