Antonio Brown is still clearly not stressing over the warrant that was just recently issued for his arrest ... he was seen on a livestream on Wednesday smoking, joking and gambling.

The former NFL wideout popped up on Kick in an effort to promote a crypto casino platform ... and in video from his time in front of the camera, you can see he was in great spirits despite the felony attempted murder charge he's now facing in Florida.

Brown lit up an unknown substance, took several puffs of it ... and gambled on screen.

Bad blood clearly remains between Bill Belichick's current girlfriend and his former one ... as Jordon Hudson was spotted on Tuesday throwing shade at Linda Holliday.

The dig from Hudson came on her Instagram page ... as she was shoveling praise on one of her beauty pageant friends, Melissa Sapini.

On a carousel of Sapini-related photos, Hudson wrote a lengthy caption that congratulated the former Miss Massachusetts winner on completing her run with the crown. Toward the end is where she placed her Holliday jab.

Henry Ruggs opened up publicly on Tuesday for the first time since he was thrown behind bars for killing a woman and her dog in a horrific 2021 car crash ... and he admitted he would still "love to" play football again once he's out of custody.

The former NFL star got candid with questioners for roughly an hour at a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas ... in an effort to inspire current and former inmates during their journeys to successfully one day reenter society.

Ruggs touched on a bunch of topics in the chat -- including what led up to the November 2021 accident that changed his and so many other lives forever.

Tyreek Hill wasn't going to let Noah Lyles cancel their highly anticipated race without some jokes at the Olympic gold medalist's expense ... calling out the track star on social media for scrapping their competition.

The Dolphins' wide receiver went after the sprinter on Tuesday ... just a day after Lyles, 27, backed out of their NYC foot race due to "complications" and "personal reasons."

Hill's first jab was a classic 'Simpsons' meme on his Instagram Story, with Lyles' face photoshopped onto Homer's body ... implying he's hiding from him after he just ran a 10.15-second 100-meter dash at the Last Chance Sprint Series.

An attorney representing Jimmie Ward in his domestic violence case tells TMZ Sports he believes the NFL player is innocent.

Steve Jackson -- the lawyer who Ward hired after the Texans defensive back was hit with an assault charge for allegedly roughing up his fiancée earlier this month -- said in a statement to us on Tuesday he feels his client will ultimately "be vindicated."

"We just ask that the public reserve judgment," Jackson said, "so that we can show everyone that the Jimmie Ward that they all have come to know is the same person and did not do this."

What's the meaning of life? Are we alone out there? Why did someone get a nude Jason Kelce tattooed on 'em? We finally have an answer to at least one of the universe's biggest mysteries.

TMZ Sports chopped it up with Lauren Philpott -- a New York Giants fan (!!!) -- in an effort to get to the bottom of the viral tattoo ... which stems from a bet she lost with her husband dating back to the 2022-23 NFL season.

Lauren says despite not being a fan of the reigning Super Bowl champions, she is a big supporter of Jason and wifey, Kylie. For that reason alone, she has no regrets about the tat.

Authorities putting out a warrant for Antonio Brown's arrest caught Adin Ross off guard ... with the streamer giving a live reaction to the news right on camera.

The folks watching Ross on Kick were flooding his chat with the AB news on Thursday ... and it got to the point where he had to start asking questions about its legitimacy.

N3on -- the other guy he was streaming with -- confirmed it was the real deal and assured him he had nothing to worry about ... but Ross still wanted his phone so he could contact his legal counsel.

Antonio Brown is wanted in Florida, after cops say he stole a security guard's gun and tried to kill a man outside of a celebrity boxing match last month.

TMZ Sports has obtained the arrest warrant that was issued this week for Brown ... and in it, there all kinds of troubling allegations against the former NFL superstar.

According to the document, Brown and Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu were seen on surveillance video getting into an argument near Adin Ross' May 16 Brand Risk event in Miami, before Brown could be seen hitting Nantambu with "a closed fist."

While Aaron Rodgers' forever partner still remains a mystery, one thing about his relationship is clear ... he loves showing off his wedding ring.

The new Steelers quarterback returned to California on Thursday from his Pittsburgh workouts ... and he wasn't shy about flashing his shiny, new, black band.

As photogs snapped pics of him leaving LAX in Los Angeles, he kept his left hand in clear view of the camera lenses.

Antonio Brown is wanted for attempted murder, TMZ can confirm.

Law enforcement sources tell us authorities in Miami-Dade County, Florida are seeking to arrest the former NFL wide receiver on a charge of attempted murder stemming from a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May.

We covered the incident -- AB was briefly detained by police following an intense dust-up involving a gun at Adin Ross' Brand Risk kickboxing event just over a month ago.

The New England Patriots just announced Tom Brady's statue will be erected outside Gillette Stadium ahead of their first preseason game in August ... with the organization planning a special ceremony to promote the 12-foot tribute.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft initially shared the plans for the bronze Brady during his Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony last year -- the same night the 47-year-old quarterback’s No. 12 was retired.

Kraft said the statue would "perpetuate the legendary legacy of this once-in-a-lifetime player" ... and a local artist had already been commissioned for the gig.

Jason Kelce is experiencing quite the conundrum after a fan got a tattoo of his naked body in cartoon form this week ... asking out loud if he should be more offended or flattered.

The ink started making rounds on social media on Thursday ... with artist Joe the Wizard sharing the startling project and saying, "Jason Kelce pin up for y'all."

The finished product shows Kelce in the buff posing like a Playboy model ... with an Eagles logo conveniently placed over his junk.

Nicki Minaj has Lil Wayne's back in his beef with the NFL and Jay-Z on their latest collab -- and also found time to fire back at Shannon Sharpe!!!

Wayne just released his "Carter VI" album -- without any features from Nicki but the two convened on Tuesday night with the remix for one of the songs, “Banned From NO.”

Nicki apparently has been waiting on the perfect moment to clap back at Shannon for his "Nicki who?" remarks a year ago and she leaned into her backhanded lyrics on social media ... “If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain’t that Sharpe!!!"

Deion Sanders is opening up on the health issue that has kept him away from the University of Colorado football team ... assuring fans "everything is OKAY," and he'll return soon.

The Buffaloes head coach released a statement on social media a day after his son, Deion Jr., revealed Prime was missing the team's summer camp ... and shared his gratefulness for all the love and support he's received.

"Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts, and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Sanders said.

Josh Allen is on an all-time hot streak after winning NFL MVP and signing a $330 million contract extension ... but he says those milestones pale in comparison to the best moment of his offseason -- marrying Hailee Steinfeld!!

The Buffalo Bills quarterback met with the media in Orchard Park after tying the knot with Steinfeld over a week ago ... where he was asked to reflect on the last few months of his life.

"They've all been big," he said. "None other than marrying my best friend. She makes everything easier. I don't really focus on the other stuff, that was the most important decision I'll make in my life, and I made the right one."

Aaron Rodgers just confirmed the ring he's been wearing on that finger is, indeed, a wedding band!!!

The new Steelers quarterback told Pittsburgh media members on Tuesday following his first workout with the team he tied the knot "a couple months" ago.

He did not reveal any other specifics about his partner or the nuptials ... though he did accept some congratulations from at least one of the journalists in attendance.
