Bill Maher went on a rant Friday night that started with watching football, but boy ... that turns out to be a metaphor for something way bigger!

This is one of the best editorials the "Real Time" host has delivered in a long time. B.M.'s pissed off at streamers who are carrying football games. It's true ... now, instead of simply hitting a button on the remote to go back and forth between games, now it's a giant pain in the ass. Plus, we still have to watch commercials, so exactly what's the advantage?

Bill says it's an example of what he calls R.I. -- Reverse Improvement. It's like when you go to a restaurant and leave your car with the valet. It used to be so easy, hand him the ticket, pay cash and get your whip.  Now ... well, you know.

PARDON THE INTERRUPTION

A$AP Rocky has at least one secret he does NOT want coming out in his assault trial ... so much so, he tried to stop his pal A$AP Twelvyy from answering a question on the stand!

Prosecutors grilled Twelvyy during Friday's court proceedings, showing him a photo of Rocky's bed with the letters "AWGE" emblazoned on the furniture, and asked what the letters mean -- but before Twelvyy could respond, Rocky yelled out, "Don't say!"

The outburst created some chaos ... Twelvyy would only say, "It means AWGE," which pissed off the prosecutor, who asked the judge to force the witness to be more forthcoming. When Twelvyy kept stonewalling, Rocky's attorney, Joe Tacopina, asked for a sidebar with the judge.

Daymond John is mourning the loss of his childhood friend Irv Gotti, like countless others in the music industry -- and believes his late friend would have had a hearty LOL at 50 Cent's "tribute."

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the legendary Shark as he pumped himself with stem cell therapy at a research center in Costa Rica -- the type of treatment he wishes Irv would've adopted.

Dozens of celebrities sent their condolences in the wake of Irv's death -- including 50 Cent in a half-tribute, half-backhanded fashion ... "smoking on Irv pack" with a "God Bless 'em" that felt somewhat sincere.

Despite Irv and 50's complicated history, Daymond believes Irv would have gotten a kick out of 50's post ... something The Breakfast Club's DJ Envy can understand.

DayJ recalls, Irv and music video pioneer Hype Williams all got their start sitting on the sidelines of the artist side of the music industry ... but went on to make their mark in pop culture.

The good memories include hanging out on Kanye West's "Gold Digger" video shoot with Jamie Foxx, Pharrell ... and the time Irv told a then-unknown Pitbull to ditch the "keep it real" approach to his music.

And wouldn't you know it, Mr. Worldwide went on to become a Diamond-selling artist!!!

Irv was only 54.
