La ex estrella de la NFL NaVorro Bowman hizo algunas compras mucho antes de que empiece la temporada navideña de este año. El ex jugador visitó una tienda Prada en el área de DC a principios de este mes y gastó una pequeña fortuna.

TMZ Sports ha indagado que el ex jugador de San Francisco hizo una parada en la tienda de lujo ubicada en Tysons Galleria en McLean, el 12 de noviembre y compró un montón de artículos.

Nos dicen que el jugador de 35 años, que se retiró en 2019, compró un abrigo, camisas, zapatos, así como algunas gafas y otros artículos.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Bowman gastó mucho más de $10.000 en su visita.

Por supuesto, Bowman se lo puede permitir, el cuatro veces All-Pro supuestamente ganó $44 MILLONES durante su carrera en la NFL.

Ex-NFL star NaVorro Bowman got at least some of his shopping in well before the holiday season kicked off this year ... hitting up a Prada in the D.C. area earlier this month -- and dropping a small fortune!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the former San Francisco 49ers linebacker pulled up to the luxury store at Tysons Galleria in McLean, Va. back on Nov. 12 -- and copped a bunch of items.

We're told the 35-year-old, who retired in 2019, purchased a coat, shirts, shoes as well as some glasses and other miscellaneous items.

Our sources say Bowman spent well over $10,000 on the trip.

Of course, Bowman can afford it -- the four-time All-Pro reportedly made $44 MILLION during his NFL career.

It ain't Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts or Lamar Jackson ... no, the NFL's MVP this year is Tyreek Hill!!

At least, that's what Channing Crowder is saying, telling TMZ Sports this week the Miami wideout has just been that good this season.

"He is the best player at his position in the NFL right now," Crowder said.

Of course, Crowder might have some bias in him -- after all, he did play all six of his NFL seasons with the Dolphins -- but his argument is one that's certainly hard to go against.

Through 10 games so far, Hill already has 1,222 receiving yards, nine touchdowns and 79 catches -- marks that have him on pace to break nearly every single-season record for a wide receiver.

Crowder says in his mind that's enough to put him over guys like Mahomes, Hurts, Jackson and the rest of the NFL's star quarterbacks for the league's most coveted award.

"When you're talking about the Dolphins," Crowder said, "and their best player being Tyreek Hill, he has to be the MVP."

Travis Kelce is planning to spend Christmas with Taylor Swift, but in the meantime he's gotta get through another holiday solo ... and that means some alone time on the road.

The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end is spending his Thanksgiving by himself in Kansas City, driving around solo in his fancy Rolls-Royce.

TMZ obtained video of Travis behind the wheel of his luxury car on Turkey Day ... he's alone in the car, wearing a plaid shirt and seems to be singing.

Folks who spotted Travis on the road tell us he was driving near the area of his new mansion ... ya know, the one he bought for added privacy when he first started dating Taylor.

The reason Travis is alone this holiday and not with Taylor ... she's all the way down in Brazil on the international leg of her wildly popular Eras Tour and he's got a football game Sunday.

TMZ broke the story ... Travis and Taylor are planning to spend Christmas together, working out their busy schedules to carve out as much time together as possible.

On a recent episode of his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason, Travis says he's going to be feasting on KFC for Thanksgiving "because I won't have anybody here."

John Madden sadly isn't around to enjoy Thanksgiving games anymore ... but the NFL is still making sure his presence is felt on the holiday nonetheless, revealing this week teams will wear patches honoring the football legend throughout the day.

The Detroit Lions showed what their jersey adornments will look like in a post on X on Wednesday morning ... and they're pretty awesome.

The black-and-gold emblems feature a silhouette of Madden from his coaching days ... and they'll be displayed prominently on the front of teams' uniforms.

In addition to the Lions, the Packers, Cowboys, Commanders, 49ers and Seahawks are all expected to rock Madden patches as well.

The holiday, of course, was one of Madden's all-time favorites ... as he loved eating turduckens in the broadcast booth as well as handing out pieces of the chicken/duck/turkey combo to star players on the field.

The NFL began honoring Madden on the holiday last year with several cool tributes on gameday ... and it announced this month it will expand on those with the jersey patches as well as a special Madden-themed coin for the games' opening tosses.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is weighing in on Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce ... saying their new romance has been "great for the league."

Commish shared his two cents on the Tayvis craze during an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Wednesday ... and he's shipping the two lovebirds pretty hard after seeing the effect its had on his organization.

"They're happy, they seem to be enjoying their relationship," Goodell said. "That's great in and of itself."

"It has connected more fans of Taylor's and more fans of the NFL. And, in some ways, to see that they have a connection, now they have a connection to our game and to Taylor," he added. "She's an unbelievable artist. Obviously, Travis is an unbelievable player."

"I think it's great for the league to have that kind of attention, so we welcome it."

Of course, Taylor's appearances at Travis' Kansas City Chiefs games have been widely documented ... with broadcasting crews showing her cheering on her man from her suite seats.

The two have become quite the power couple over the past few months ... with Travis flying to Argentina to hit up her 'Eras' show during his bye week.

Our sources tell us Tayvis will be together for the holidays ... which is a huge step in their relationship.

The newfound happy times between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were very short-lived, in fact, just a few days after celebrating their 12th anniversary, they were at each other's throats ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ it's been about a week now since Kim and Kroy started having issues in their marriage once again. We're told the fights were intense, per usual, and revolved around their atrocious financial situation, and its impact on their relationship.

Translation: back to the common theme that prompted Kroy to file divorce docs, in the first, and second place.

We're told Kim and Kroy remained under the same roof while they verbally sparred, and things continued to bubble between them.

We're told throughout the latest period of fighting, Kroy remained in the primary bedroom and Kim was in the basement/nanny suite -- as ordered by a judge -- but that distance wasn't enough to keep the peace.

Everything came to a head Monday night when one of the estranged couple's young kids called the cops during an "extremely loud" fight between the two. Law enforcement sources tell us 3 officers and a supervisor came to the home to settle things down, but no one was arrested.

Interestingly enough, Kim and Kroy were seen out with their kids for haircuts and some Starbucks just hours before the police visit, and everything seemed calm.

The drama is 180 degrees from what the couple portrayed on social media when they celebrated their wedding anniversary on November 11 with a fancy meal and drinks ... seemingly oblivious to the massive money woes they continue to face.

Speaking of their financial troubles ... Kim and Kroy's Georgia mansion, which was supposed to go up in a foreclosure auction, is still on the market for $6 million.

One of the greatest right arms in the history of sports no longer works.

Drew Brees made the shocking revelation this week ... admitting he can't throw overhand anymore.

"Look," the future Hall of Famer said on Tuesday on ESPN Radio. "I'll let you in on a little fact. I don't throw with my right arm anymore. My right arm does not work. So, when I throw in the backyard right now, I throw left-handed."

Brees said on the show it all stems from the devastating shoulder injury he suffered while playing for the San Diego Chargers during the 2005 season.

You'll recall, following a fumble, Brees fell awkwardly on his throwing arm ... dislocating his shoulder and tearing up several important pieces of his body in the process.

Docs were able to fix him ... and he went on to have one of the best NFL careers ever with the New Orleans Saints -- but he said he's reeling from it all now.

The former quarterback said he's suffering from a "degenerative shoulder" ... as well as "all kinds of arthritic changes."

Brees then revealed if he could somehow get it to work -- he "would absolutely still be playing."

The 44-year-old added that, thankfully, he is able to be somewhat athletic with his right arm still ... saying at least pickleball isn't out of the equation at this point.

"I can play pickleball because it's below the waist," he said.

No, Travis Kelce's play of late has not been impacted by his relationship with Taylor Swift ... at least, that's according to ex-NFLer Channing Crowder, who tells TMZ Sports the Chiefs star is too used to the limelight to be impacted by dating the pop star.

Of course, there are plenty who are ready to disagree ... as Kelce has had three straight pedestrian games in a row -- all while his romance with Swift has reached a fever pitch.

But, when we spoke to Crowder on Tuesday following Kelce's four-catch, 44-yard performance in a loss to the Eagles on Monday Night Football ... the former Miami Dolphins linebacker said there's just simply no way Swift's swayed things for the 34-year-old.

As for why ... Crowder tells us he thinks Kelce's just simply too familiar with fame to have it bother his game on the gridiron.

"He doesn't hide from attention," Crowder said.

Kelce has been with Swift for quite some time now ... and when she's been in attendance at his games, he's balled out. But, when she hasn't been around -- particularly this last month -- it's been a different story.

Crowder, though, says it's all pretty explainable ... saying defenses have been focusing more on Kelce due to the lack of other weapons on Kansas City's offense.

As for Kelce's admission this week that retirement has been on his mind a little bit -- Crowder did seem to think that was a fairly significant revelation ... telling us, "Once guys start talking about retirement, they might as well retire."

Not everyone is a fan of Barry Sanders' new documentary -- his former quarterback, Scott Mitchell, just shared his negative review in a lengthy rant on social media ... revealing he's super pissed at how he was depicted in the project.

Sanders' "Bye, Bye, Barry" just hit Prime Video this week ... and Mitchell's big takeaway was that many guests featured in the doc blamed him for the running back never winning a Super Bowl.

Mitchell went to Facebook to vent about it all ... initially praising Sanders' abilities on the field, before ripping into his critics -- name-dropping Detroit superfans Eminem and Jeff Daniels in the process.

"However, I am so tired of hearing how I was the reason that Barry Sanders never won a Super Bowl," Mitchell said, according to the Detroit News. "I'm so tired of hearing how I was not a good QB. My only response is F*** YOU ALL!!!!! That includes Eminem (and) Jeff Daniels."

Mitchell -- who played for the Lions from 1994-98 -- added he was disappointed to hear his former coach, Wayne Fontes, openly talk about wishing he had Joe Montana or Warren Moon under center instead ... and how a proper QB was what kept Barry from being a champion.

"A little support from the coach might have gone a long way," Mitchell added. "Wayne never had my back!"

Mitchell then turned his focus to Sanders ... saying he, too, deserved blame for their empty trophy cases.

"Bottom line, Barry Sanders had everything in Detroit," Mitchell continued. "Everyone loved him. Everything was built for Barry to succeed. In his 10 year career, he won one playoff game and the only reason he didn't win more was everyone else was the problem?"

"How many yards did Barry have in the playoffs in '94, '95, '97? I'll give you a hint not very many. We all are to blame for not winning a (Super Bowl) in Detroit even Barry Sanders."

Mitchell ended his rant by saying he truly feels the Lions could have gone the distance if the team had just been a bit more patient ... but that's not how it played out.

Deion Sanders just made a shocking -- and hilarious -- admission ... revealing Tuesday he had absolutely no clue where Mount Rushmore was located.

Prime acknowledged his geography deficiency as he was reflecting on his Colorado team's performance this year with a gaggle of media members.

While trying to explain how he felt about his 4-7 Buffaloes squad ... he said he has sky-high expectations -- similar to the height of a famous mountain that he thought was situated in SoCal.

"What's those little four heads that's in California?" he asked reporters. "What they call those? The people's faces engraved?"

When the room filled Sanders in that it was Mt. Rushmore -- and that it was, in fact, located in South Dakota, Coach Prime couldn't help but laugh.

"It's in where?" he said. "I thought it was in L.A. all this time! Wow, my geography."

To his credit, after chuckling for a few moments, Sanders thanked the crowd for "educating me."

Aaron Rodgers feels badly about how things played out for benched backup Zach Wilson ... admitting he's "disappointed and sad" the young quarterback didn't get to sit back and learn from him this season.

The former No. 2 overall pick recently lost his starting gig to Tim Boyle after struggling to find a rhythm as Rodgers recovers from his Achilles injury ... and during the four-time MVP's appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," he said he has guilt about the situation.

"I feel for Zach, I love Zach." Rodgers said. "Zach's such a great kid and I do think he still has a bright future in the league."

Rodgers believes it's more fair to throw blame on the whole team than just on Zach ... but ultimately, it was time to find a spark on offense.

"This is disappointing, I have some personal guilt around the whole thing," he added. "I mean, I'm pissed I wasn't able to play and frustrated that if I was out there, and I feel like I'd be playing well, there would be obviously different narratives around our team and Zach would have the opportunity to learn and grow and see what it looks like without the pressure on and being able to sit in those meetings and go through the season and just kind of watch me and my process."

Rodgers said the team will continue to support both Zach and Tim moving forward ... but reiterated it's not all Wilson's fault the team is sitting at 4-6.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann painted the picture of a happy family during a low-key outing with their kids Monday ... a scene that drastically changed 2 hours later when cops were called to settle an explosive fight.

Both were seen together leaving a barbershop in Alpharetta, Georgia, with some of their kids in tow before making a stop at a nearby Starbucks.

On the surface, all seemed well -- but on closer inspection, Kim and Kroy were without their wedding rings again. As we first reported, not long after the errands all peace was shattered when one of their kids called the cops over their "extremely loud" argument.

Law enforcement sources told us 3 officers and a supervisor arrived at the estranged pair's mansion to try to settle the verbal domestic dispute ... eventually calming things down.

Officers are practically seasoned guests at the duo's home ... first arriving to the property in August when Kim accused Kroy of locking her out of their bedroom ... and a month later telling them she didn't feel safe in her own home.

October brought another revelation by TMZ ... with us breaking the story of a court mandate ordering them to keep their distance at home -- Kim gets the basement and nanny suite and Kroy gets the primary bedroom.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann pintaron la imagen de una familia feliz durante una salida de bajo perfil con sus hijos el lunes, una escena que cambió drásticamente dos horas más tarde cuando la policía fue llamada para resolver una explosiva pelea entre ellos.

Ambos fueron vistos saliendo juntos de una peluquería en Alpharetta, Georgia, con algunos de sus hijos en el carro antes de hacer una parada en un Starbucks cercano.

Por fuera, todo parece andar bien, pero si hacemos una inspección más cercana podemos ver que Kim y Kroy estaban nuevamente sin sus anillos de matrimonio. Como informamos por primera vez, la paz entre ellos se rompió apenas unas horas después, cuando uno de sus hijos decidió llamar a la policía por una discusión "extremadamente fuerte".

Fuentes policiales nos dijeron que tres oficiales y un supervisor llegaron a la mansión de la pareja para tratar de resolver una disputa doméstica, que finalmente lograron contener.

Los oficiales son prácticamente invitados de temporada en la casa de Kim y Kroy. La primera vez que los visitaron fue en agosto, cuando Kim acusó a Kroy de dejarla fuera de su dormitorio y un mes más tarde les dijo que no se sentía segura en su propia casa.

Y en octubre nos enteramos de más noticias, como por ejemplo, que un mandato judicial los obliga a mantener una cierta distancia en casa. Kim se está quedando en el sótano y la suite de niñera y Kroy en el dormitorio principal.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is breaking his silence after dropping the potential game-winning touchdown pass on Monday night ... promising on Tuesday to "be better" -- while accepting criticism.

The Chiefs wide receiver took to his X page to deliver his first public thoughts since the game-altering play against the Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium ... and he made it clear, he's ready to deal with all of the fallout from not catching Patrick Mahomes' deep ball late in the fourth quarter of the key contest.

"I'm grateful, I'll be better," he wrote. "And I appreciate the criticism and the support."

"God put this on me because he knew I could handle it," he added. "Gratitude for everything that comes with it."

Of course, MVS was obviously having a hard time dealing with the misplay just minutes after it happened ... as cameras caught him slamming his helmet against a stadium wall.

The play would have given Kansas City a 24-21 lead -- and would've most likely led to the Chiefs earning the win and an 8-2 record. But, after the drop, they lost 21-17, and are now in danger of missing out on the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

More trouble for Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann in their ugly divorce, as things got so bad during a fight at home, their own kid had to call the cops.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops got a call to the estranged couple's Georgia mansion Monday night for a verbal domestic dispute. We're told in all, 3 officers and a supervisor arrived on the call to try and settle things out with Kim and Kroy.

What's most disturbing, our law enforcement sources say it was one of the couple's 4 young kids who called cops -- and the fight was "extremely loud."

Eventually, we're told, cops were able to calm things down between the two.

It's not the first, second or even the third time officers have been called to Kim and Kroy's house while they continue to hammer out their divorce. It was back in August when Kim called cops and accused Kroy of locking her out of their bedroom. She called again late September to tell officers she didn't feel safe at home.

Fans were surprised to see Kim and Kroy celebrating their wedding anniversary together a couple weeks ago, but things have obviously turned sour once again.

TMZ broke the story -- both Kim and Kroy have been ordered by the court to keep their distance at home, he gets the primary bedroom and she gets the basement and nanny suite.
