Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin isn't sweating his daughter's allegiances after hard-launching her relationship with LSU star Whit Weeks just days before the teams square off ... saying despite her beau being a Tiger, she's still pulling for pops!

Coach Kiffin got in on the social media buzz after his daughter, Landry, shared a cozied-up photo with the junior linebacker this week.

"Happy :)," the caption read.

Jason Kelce was once a finalist for the "Sexiest Man Alive" ... but did you know he's got some major sax appeal too?!?

The Philadelphia Eagles legend joined the Baltimore Ravens' famous marching band on Monday night ... and he showed he's got the skills to delight thousands with a saxophone.

Tom Brady is speaking out after Dave Portnoy claimed he's getting $75 million to "unretire" and play flag football in Saudi Arabia  ... asking sarcastically, "who cares about facts right?"

It all stems from a segment on "Wake Up Barstool" Monday morning ... where Portnoy said Brady secured an insane bag to take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic with a bunch of former and current NFL stars.

Brady caught wind of El Presidente's report ... and asked the Barstool founder, "Are we just picking numbers out of a hat and reporting them?"

Travis Kelce has had a rough month on the gridiron … first slapped with a $14,491 fine by the NFL for making an obscene gesture -- and now clashing with KC Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid.

The latest incident went down Sunday night, when the Chiefs were battling the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium ... and tensions flared in the second quarter.

Here’s what happened … Kelce caught a pass for minus 2 yards, setting up 40-yard field goal attempt that kicker Harrison Butker missed. Moments later, Kelce headed to the sideline, where Reid was already waiting.

Madison Beer is really embracing her new role as a WAG -- the singer hit the Los Angeles Chargers game on Sunday to support her new man, Justin Herbert!!

Beer, 26, was clearly having a blast ... flashing a heart-hand gesture to the crowd and sharing an Instagram Story of a young LA fan flexing for the scoreboard.

Eric Dickerson made it crystal clear this week he's no fan of the Cleveland Browns ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks "they're horrible" -- and he wishes Shedeur Sanders ended up elsewhere.

The Hall of Fame running back minced no words during a chat with us at LAX ... saying he can't stand that the Browns were the ones who ultimately picked the younger Sanders in April's NFL draft.

He told us Cleveland is "a bad football team" with a track record of messing up QBs ... and he admitted he's hoping the org. will eventually just let Shedeur go to another franchise.

Terry Bradshaw sees nothing wrong with Tom Brady balancing his role as a Fox broadcaster with his gig as a Raiders owner ... telling TMZ Sports it's just not a big deal to him.

Brady, of course, sparked a firestorm of sorts among NFL fans this week ... after he was seen in Las Vegas' coaching booth wearing a headset during the Raiders' "Monday Night Football" matchup with the Chargers.

It's been a while, of course, since Barrett's logged significant snaps -- the last time he played in multiple games in a season was 2023 -- but he's adamant he can still help a pass rush-needy franchise somewhere.

The Buffalo Bills improved to 3-0 after defeating the Miami Dolphins 31-21 Thursday night ... but two members of Bills Mafia wanted something more to really make the evening even more memorable -- Ryan Fitzpatrick's chest!!

It all went down during the Prime Video postgame show ... when the folks at Highmark Stadium stuck around to engage with the former Bills quarterback as he was live on air -- with one sign requesting he free the nip.

"That sign is back," he said. "We're back Fitz, now show them your t**z!"

Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is adamant Tom Brady does not have a huge role in the team's game planning process ... saying Thursday when the two talk ball, they keep it pretty generic.

Peter Schrager, of course, reported during "Monday Night Football" that Brady -- a Raiders co-owner who also helps broadcast NFL games for Fox -- talks with Kelly 2-3 times a week ... and occasionally goes over game plans with the assistant coach.

But Kelly -- who addressed the report for the first time during Vegas' media availability Thursday -- insisted the talks are far more casual.

Murray addressed the controversy during his media availability on Wednesday ... when he explained, "In no way, shape, or form do I condone animal cruelty or dog fighting, whatever it is."

It's pretty interesting ... as Brady's Raiders will welcome Da Bears to Sin City next week.

Travis Kelce is sharing some details of his upcoming wedding with Taylor Swift ... and based on his latest comments, it sure seems the two lovebirds won't be dancing to a DJ after they tie the knot.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar opened up about his impending nuptials for the first time on the latest episode of "New Heights" ... and he revealed the reception's air will almost certainly be filled with singers and instruments -- not someone spinning the ones and twos.

"I think we're live music kind of people," he shared.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was feeling GOOD on several levels after undergoing surgery to fix his broken collarbone ... going live on Instagram to update his fans on his status -- and guaranteeing a spot in the Super Bowl in the process!!

The 25-year-old conducted the surprise stream right from his hospital bed on Tuesday ... and it's safe to say he can't wait to get back out on the field.

"Packers to the Bowl, bruh," Reed said. "I'm good, thank you for the prayers, bruh. But we turnt, bruh, we going all the f***ing way, bruh."
