Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit took turns taking shots at Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz during their ugly blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on ‘Thursday Night Football.’

Coming off a frustrating and sloppy 28-22 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the Vikings got nothing going in their road game against a banged-up Chargers team. With J.J. McCarthy on the sideline for his fifth straight game because of an ankle injury, the Vikings had to put their faith in the hands of the struggling Wentz once again.

Wentz finished the night with just 15 completions for 144 yards, a touchdown and one interception while taking five sacks, per ESPN.

Let’s just say that Michaels and Herbstreit, calling the game for Amazon Prime Video, were so disgusted with Wentz’s performance that they couldn’t hold back in criticizing him on live TV.

At the end of the first half, Wentz was seen exchanging words and smiling with quarterbacks coach Josh McCown, leading to a savage shot from Michaels.

“Kinda weird to be smiling on the way to the locker room,” Michaels said.

Late in the fourth quarter, Amazon cameras caught a frustrated and dejected Wentz expressing his frustrations on the sideline. Herbstreit suggested that the veteran quarterback should have kept his emotions to himself:

“When you’re the captain of the ship, you’re the quarterback, you gotta try to hold some of that emotion in. And I know he’s frustrated, and he’s hurt, but it’s Week 7. There’s a long way to go.”

The Vikings have now lost four of their last six after a thrilling comeback win over the Chicago Bears in Week 1. Indeed, McCarthy cannot return soon enough.

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.
