Colin Kaepernick clearly wasn't lying when he said he still works out religiously, despite being out of the league for 6+ years ... 'cause the star QB's lookin' ripped on the cover of Men's Health magazine!

The world's largest men's magazine is celebrating the "35 Strongest Men of the Past 35 Years" for their October/November issue ... and Kap is featured on the cover.

"Grateful to be a part of @menshealthmag 35 strongest men of the last 35 years!" Kaepernick wrote on Instagram.

The cover features a shirtless Kap holding a football, rockin' his afro ... but what really stands out are Colin's ripped abs and massive arms!

It shouldn't come as a surprise... just last month Kap discussed his workout regimen, revealing he will still hitting the gym hard in hopes of being signed by an organization.

"My training schedule has remained the same for 6 years; Monday through Friday, 5 AM-8 AM training on the field and weight room," Kap wrote in a letter to the NY Jets after Aaron Rodgers went down with an Achilles injury.

In addition to Colin, this month's issue recognized several other star athletes ... including LeBron James, Lewis Hamilton, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Michael Phelps, and Magic Johnson.

Other celebrities like Chadwick Boseman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, and RuPaul were also named.

"It’s dope to share space with the other incredible men whose strengths show up in different ways!" Kaepernick said.

A pair of female Raiders fans got so mad at each other during their game against the Chargers on Sunday -- they tried to knock each other out ... and the wild fistfight was all captured on video.

The altercation happened at some point during Las Vegas' tilt with the Bolts at SoFi Stadium ... when a woman in a Maxx Crosby jersey started jawing with a Raiders supporter in a small black tank top.

You can see the two were passionately arguing over something ... before the Crosby fan escalated things into violence.

First, she knocked the woman's drink out of her hand, before slapping the lady in her face repeatedly. She then threw multiple punches that appeared to land flush.

The woman in the tank tried to fight back, grabbing hair ... but another woman jumped into the fray and started throwing punches of her own.

Ultimately, a few Raiders fans in the surrounding area hopped in to split the combatants up. It's unclear if anyone was ejected or arrested for their role in it all.

The fight was hardly the only one inside the venue Sunday ... a Howie Long fan was also decked in the face and then pushed down some stairs after getting into a spat with a Chargers supporter.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann sin duda tienen algunos problemas de dinero, pero no están poniendo en venta su casa, como señala un aparente anuncio de bienes raíces que se publicó la semana pasada.

La gente se dio cuenta de que la finca de Georgia, que ha estado en el centro del divorcio entre Kim y Kroy, apareció en sitios como Zillow y Trulia el miércoles por la suma de $3.2 millones, solo un poco por encima de su valor estimado de alrededor de $2.9 millones

La cosa es que nuestras fuentes dicen que Kim y Kroy nunca pusieron un anuncio para vender su casa, así que quien lo hizo creó una página falsa para molestar a la pareja.

Dejando de lado el aviso, Kim y Kroy aún enfrentan a graves problemas económicos. Kroy ha estado rogando a un juez que le permita dejar de pagar la propiedad hasta que sea comprada, para hacerse cargo de sus deudas. También ha dicho en repetidas oportunidades que todavía hay equidad en el hogar y que la venta resolvería gran parte de sus problemas de dinero. Además, les permitiría encontrar nuevos lugares para vivir.

Sin embargo, el juez aún no ha tomado una decisión sobre si debe o no permitir la venta, más pruebas de que el aviso actual no es real.

Kim ha sido ambivalente respecto a la venta de la casa, a veces sugiere que ambos están en la misma página, pero otras parece que quiere retrasar el proceso en tribunales.

En cuanto a la casa en sí, esta posee 7 dormitorios y 9 baños, por no hablar de los 9.500 pies cuadrados.

Por supuesto, también cuenta con todos los lujos del sur. Tiene su propia bodega, una piscina, un ascensor interior para dos personas, un garaje para seis carros, además de la tranquilidad de estar dentro de una comunidad de lujo cerca de un campo de golf y un lago.

El público del MetLife Stadium fue bastante "malo" con Taylor Swift durante el Monday Night Football. Los seguidores de los New York Giants abuchearon el anuncio de la nueva súper fan de la NFL, en medio de su incipiente relación con Travis Kelce.

La presencia de Swift en los dos últimos partidos de los Kansas City Chiefs ha sido la gran noticia del fútbol en el último tiempo. La liga se ha sumado fuertemente a la locura, utilizando incluso su nombre e imagen a través de sus plataformas de redes sociales.

Pero los fans de los Giants dejaron claro que estaban hartos del alboroto en torno a Tayvis, cuando una promoción de la película "Eras", de Swift, apareció en la pantalla grande este lunes y causó un montón de abucheos en las gradas.

Como hemos informado anteriormente, las cosas se han ido calentando entre Taylor y Travis en las últimas semanas. Se han reunido en privado en varias ocasiones e incluso salieron juntos después del partido de Kelce contra los Osos de Chicago el fin de semana pasado. Swift incluso mostró algunas expresiones de afecto en una fiesta en Kansas City.

Este domingo, Taylor estuvo en el estadio MetLife viendo el partido de Travis contra los Jets, junto a sus amigos Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, Ryan Reynolds y Hugh Jackman.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann certainly have some serious money issues, but they're not listing their home for sale ... despite an apparent real estate listing that went live last week.

Folks noticed the Georgia estate -- which has been at the center of Kim and Kroy's ongoing divorce -- appeared on sites like Zillow and Trulia Wednesday for $3.2 million ... just a smidge above its estimated online value of about $2.9 mil.

Thing is ...  our sources say Kim and Kroy never listed the home, so whoever posted the sale created a fake page to seemingly mess with the estranged couple.

Fake listing aside -- Kim and Kroy are still facing serious money problems -- and Kroy's been begging a judge to let him unload this property so that they can take care of mounting debts. He's repeatedly said there's still equity in the home, and that selling it would take care of a lot of their money problems -- and it'd also let them get their own spots.

However, a judge has not yet made a decision on whether or not to allow the sale ... more evidence the current listing isn't real.

Kim has appeared ambivalent about the sale of the home ... at times suggesting they were on the same page in selling it but also seemingly holding up the process in court.

As for the home itself -- its 7 bedrooms and 9 baths, not to mention the 9,500 sq. feet.

Of course, it also features all the bells and whistles of Southern luxury -- the home has its own wine cellar, a pool, an indoor 2-person elevator, a 6-car garage ... plus, all the peace and comfort of being inside a ritzy gated community near a golf course and a lake.

Shots fired.

Aaron Rodgers took a playful jab at Travis Kelce over his COVID-19 vaccine commercial that's been popping up on everyone's TVs ... referring to the Kansas City Chiefs superstar as "Mr. Pfizer."

The New York Jets quarterback made the wisecrack during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday ... when he decided to have some fun while analyzing his team's performance on Sunday Night Football against Patrick Mahomes and co.

"I think there's some sentiment that there's some sort of moral victory out there that we hung with the champs and that our defense played well," Rodgers said. "Pat didn't have a crazy game and Mr. Pfizer, we kind of shut him down a little bit. He didn't have a crazy impact game."

McAfee couldn't help but burst out in laughter over AR8's new name for Kelce ... and his cohost (and Rodgers' former Packers teammate) A.J. Hawk grinned and shook his head.

Rodgers continued the rest of his recap with a smile on his face ... knowing his joke landed with the guys on the show.

While it all appeared to be in good fun, Rodgers was drowning in controversy over the COVID-19 vaccine -- remember, he infamously said he was "immunized" when asked about whether he got the jab in August 2021.

Rodgers later claimed he was allergic to parts of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines ... and was set to get the Johnson & Johnson shot before it was pulled for causing blood clots.

Rodgers has been sidelined with a torn Achilles since he went down in Week 1 ... so we're assuming he's just as annoyed as the regular folk are about the commercial popping up every media time-out.

And if you thought we were going to go a whole post about Kelce without mentioning her ... think again.

Damar Hamlin was showered with praise and encouragement in his first regular season game since suffering cardiac arrest in January ... and hot mics captured emotional conversations with teammates, opposing players and the man he credited with saving his life.

The Buffalo Bills safety took the field against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday ... and understandably, he was reminiscent of the moment his life changed forever during Monday Night Football nine months ago, as well as his journey back to playing condition.

25-year-old Hamlin had a special moment with Bills trainer Denny Kellington prior to kickoff ... with the staffer telling him, "Have fun today, brother."

"Love you, Denny," Hamlin replied.

Kellington is the man who performed CPR on Hamlin as a team of medical professionals fought to restore his heartbeat on Jan. 2 ... and Damar later referred to him as "the savior of my life."

Hamlin also had a conversation with Tua Tagovailoa after the Bills' 48-20 win ... with the Dolphins QB saying, "How you feeling, babe?"

"You guys keep going, man. We'll see you guys again ... best of luck, stay healthy."

An 11-year-old youth football player is facing a second-degree attempted murder charge after allegedly shooting two of his young teammates at practice this week in Florida.

TMZ Sports confirmed the incident with police who say it all happened at the Apopka (FL) Northwest Recreation Center around 8:20 PM on Monday ... when three kids were involved in an argument after practice that took a terrifying turn.

"[The altercation] continued into the parking lot where this juvenile had access to a firearm in his mother's car," Apopka police chief Mike McKinley said during a press conference on Tuesday.

That's when McKinley said the unnamed suspect (cops aren't releasing his identity because of his age), who doesn't have a criminal history, squeezed off a single round, striking his two teammates with a single shot.

One of the victims was hit in the arm and the other suffered injuries to the upper body. Both boys are 13.

"Fired one shot," McKinley said, "and that one shot hit both victims."

McKinley said the young suspect is being charged with one count of second-degree attempted murder (more charges could be tacked on) ... and the department is also looking at potentially pressing charges against the parents who left the gun in a place the child could reach it.

"It is a crime to allow your children to have access to your firearm in an unsecured box," Chief McKinley said.

As for the young age of the shooter, the chief says this isn't a position they wanted to be in.

"Nobody wants to arrest an 11-year-old, by any means, but based on our investigation we feel those charges are warranted."

The crowd at MetLife Stadium was pretty "mean" to Taylor Swift during Monday Night Football ... with New York Giants supporters booing the hell out of an ad for the NFL's newest superfan amid her budding relationship with Travis Kelce.

Swift's presence at the past two Kansas City Chiefs games has been the biggest story in football ... and the league has leaned heavily into the craze, even using her name and image across its social media platforms.

Giants fans made it clear they were fed up with the Tayvis hype during the primetime matchup ... 'cause when a promo for Swift's "Eras" tour movie showed up on the big screen, a ton of folks in the stands let out some jeers.

As we previously reported, things have been heating up between Taylor and Travis over the past few weeks -- they have met up privately a few times, and even hung out together after Kelce's game against the Chicago Bears last weekend ... with Swift showing some PDA at a party in K.C.

Taylor was at MetLife for Travis' game against the Jets on Sunday ... where she and her VIP friends like Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman checked out the game in a suite.

Swift wasn't the only reason NYG fans were left looking for the getaway car on Monday -- the home team stunk up the place and lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 24-3.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's fling has now gotten the Halloween decor treatment ... popping up in an Indiana town as two massive skeletons.

The spooky era decorations recently appeared outside Michal Owens' house in Zionsville, IN -- the Swiftie's pair of themed skeletons are 12 feet high, with the Taylor look-alike rocking a shiny dress straight out of her "Eras" Tour wardrobe.

Michal says the blonde hairdo was a must, sewing 3 wigs together to pull it off. And of course, no Taylor Swift look could be complete without a bejeweled mic in her hand.

TS isn't the only one getting the transformation, though -- her rumored new boo, Travis, has been recreated in bone form just feet away from "Skaylor," fit with a huge Kansas City Chiefs jersey and a larger-than-life mustache.

Michal admits she's been getting quite the crowd to stop in front of her pad since putting up the undead lovers on her lawn ... but she's cool with it, as long as it doesn't lead to crashes!

La aventura amorosa de Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce ya es parte de la decoración de Halloween, ya que esta semana aparecieron dos enormes esqueletos de la pareja en Indiana.

Las espeluznantes decoraciones aparecieron afuera de la casa de Michal Owens en Zionsville. Los esqueletos temáticos son de 12 pies de altura, y la personificación de Taylor aparece con un vestido brillante sacado directamente del armario de "Eras" Tour.

Michal dice que su cabello rubio era obligatorio, así que cosió tres pelucas para lograrlo. Por supuesto, ningún look de Taylor podría estar completo sin un micrófono enjoyado.

Taylor Swift no es la única que está recibiendo estas atenciones. Su rumoreado nuevo novio, Travis, fue recreado en forma de hueso a pocos metros de "Skaylor", con una enorme camiseta de los Kansas City Chiefs y un bigote más grande que él mismo.

Michal admite que ha estado recibiendo una gran cantidad de personas en su casa desde que puso a los "amantes" en su césped, pero dice que no le molesta siempre y cuando no causen problemas.

Ex-NFL player Sergio Brown was spotted in Tulum on Sunday ... dancing and partying his face off -- this despite an ongoing police investigation into the death of his mother.

Brown -- wearing red Nike swim trunks -- didn't seem to have a care in the world as he swayed shirtless with patrons on the dance floor at a popular club in the Mexican city.

One witness tells TMZ Sports ... the former Indianapolis Colts defensive back was at the venue for several hours -- chatting it up with people and buying alcohol for others, before bolting.

The scene is eyebrow-raising, to say the least ... considering cops in Maywood, Ill. have been searching for Brown after his mom, 73-year-old Myrtle Brown, was found dead near a creek on Sept. 16. Both she and Sergio were reported missing just hours prior.

Officials later ruled Myrtle's death a homicide ... saying she sustained injuries in an assault. Cops have not released information regarding potential suspects.

There had been speculation that the 35-year-old had left Illinois and traveled to Mexico ... after an Instagram account apparently belonging to the ex-football player posted a video of him in the country rambling about "fake news."

It's unclear where the investigation into Myrtle's death now stands ... we reached out to the Maywood Police Dept. multiple times on Monday but have yet to hear back.

Vikings star Byron Murphy says he's got a plan to get inside Travis Kelce's head this week ... and it includes Taylor Swift trash talk!!

The Minnesota cornerback told ESPN he's going to use some Swift quips when Kelce and the Chiefs come into town on Sunday in order to rile up the K.C. star tight end.

"I'm going to say something to him to get him going," Murphy said on Monday.

The 25-year-old, though, was otherwise complimentary of the "Love Story" singer ... saying he actually hopes she's in attendance for the big game.

"We're locked in, but that would be something," he admitted. "I've been watching her since I was a kid. That would be cool for sure."

But, if she does show, Murphy reiterated he's going to try to make things extremely difficult for her new beau on the field.

"We're going to try to get our hands on him in front of her," Murphy said.

It's not yet clear if Swift has plans to hit U.S. Bank Stadium to watch Kelce play ... although it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility, considering she traveled to Kansas City last week to catch his game before heading out to New Jersey on Sunday night to see him play against the Jets.

1:48 PM PT -- NBC just released updated ratings and says the game actually peaked at 29 million viewers and averaged 27 mil. The new numbers include people who watched on NBC network, as well as streaming numbers for Peacock, NBC Sports Digital and NFL Digital platforms.

So ... the Chiefs vs. Jets, Taylor Swift's Version, is now NBC Sports' biggest-ever streaming audience for a regular season Sunday Night Football contest.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are seemingly still going strong ... but the number of folks tuning in for updates as Taylor cheers on TK dipped as Taylor went back for seconds.

The TV ratings are in ... Sunday night's telecast of NBC's Sunday Night Football saw 20.31 million viewers for a matchup between Travis' Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.

The overall figure was the biggest on TV last night, but it's 4 million less than last Sunday's Chiefs game, which drew 24.32 million ... the first time Taylor cheered on Travis from a suite.

Of course, last week's Chiefs game was on a different network, FOX instead of this week's NBC, and in a different time slot ... 4:25 PM ET kickoff instead of this week's 8:20 PM ET start.

There was a lot more hype around Taylor and Travis heading into the Chief-Jets game, though, and even more star power in the second week.

NBC constantly panned to Taylor during the broadcast ... she was in a suite with Sophie Turner, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman and Sabrina Carpenter ... just to name a few.

Taylor's new bestie, Brittany Mahomes, also joined Taylor in the suite ... ditto for Travis' mother, Donna, who got a big hug from Taylor.

Before the game, Travis was spotted leaving Taylor's NYC apartment before heading over to New Jersey for his game ... but they left MetLife Stadium separately, unlike last week in Kansas City when they drove off in a convertible.

Travis and the Chiefs are on CBS next Sunday ... for a 4:25 PM ET kickoff on the road against the Minnesota Vikings -- and it will be interesting if Taylor shows up for her third game in a row, and how the final TV ratings shake out.

Stay tuned ...

Do you think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will last long term? Vote below.

Former New England Patriots Pro Bowl tight end Russ Francis, along with another man, were killed Sunday when the small plane they were flying in crashed in Lake Placid.

Francis was 70 years old.

The crash, according to police, occurred a few minutes after 4 PM near Lake Placid Airport in New York.

The plane was a Cessna 177 Cardinal ... a light, single-engine aircraft that was first introduced in the late '60s. The Cessna "experienced an emergency after takeoff" and "attempted to return to the airport but failed to make the runway," according to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).

The second passenger who died alongside Francis was Richard McSpadden, a Senior Vice President for the AOPA. McSpadden was a very accomplished pilot, commanding the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds during his military career.

It's unclear if Francis, also a pilot, or McSpadden were flying at the time of the crash.

On the football field, Francis was one of the best at his position.

Russ was drafted with the 16th overall pick in the 1975 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots after starring at Oregon. He played 13 total seasons with the Pats and San Francisco 49ers, making 3 Pro Bowls and 2 All-Pro teams. Francis played in 167 games, catching 393 balls for 5,262 yards and 40 yards.

The Patriots released a statement on Francis' death.

"On behalf of the entire New England Patriots organization, we extend our sincerest sympathies to the family of Russ Francis, who tragically passed away yesterday," said Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft in a prepared statement.

A Las Vegas Raiders fan had a really rough Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles ... his team not only lost to the Chargers -- he was socked in the face by a huge haymaker while attending the game.

The Howie Long supporter was decked after he got into a spat with a Justin Herbert fan during the Raiders vs. Bolts tilt at SoFi Stadium ... and the wild fight was all captured on video.

You can see the fracas appeared to start when the Long supporter got into the face of the man in the powder blue jersey.

Apparently not liking the guy in his grill, the Herbert supporter got up and seemed to headbutt the Long fan ... before uncorking a massive right hand that caught the guy flush in the face.

The blow sent the Raiders fan straight to the ground ... but when he got up, he was hit by another couple punches. Eventually, the Herbert fan pushed the guy down several rows of stairs.

Thankfully, a man in a black Charles Woodson jersey stepped in to break up the fight before things escalated further.

It's unclear if either combatant was kicked out of the game over the melee.
