The 32-year-old announced the new "Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce" show on Monday ... which was put together by Wave Sports + Entertainment -- the same company that runs Jason and Travis' popular "New Heights" show that just landed a $100 million payday.

In the announcement trailer, Kylie joked about how it took her some time to come up with the name for her show -- saying "Yet Another Kelce Show" and "F*** Around And Find Out" landed on the cutting room floor.

Saquon Barkley was unstoppable in the Philadelphia Eagles' "Sunday Night Football" win over the Rams -- which could only mean one thing -- a drug test from the league!!!

But, except for one thing ... it was just a prank his teammates pulled on their star running back!

Barkley found the fake note in his locker following the Eagles' 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium -- where SB rushed for 255 rushing yards, a career-high for him, and the ninth most ever in an NFL game.

"That's not me," Barkley laughed, revealing tight end Dallas Goedert put the notice on his locker as a joke.

Steve Gleason's family revealed he was injured prior to a public speaking event in Louisiana on Saturday ... but thankfully, they say the Saints Great avoided serious injuries.

Brett Favre thinks Aaron Rodgers still has life left in his arm ... and barring some sort of miracle comeback from the Jets this season -- he tells TMZ Sports he doesn't think the star quarterback will call it quits anytime soon.

Retirement rumors, of course, have surrounded Rodgers throughout the last few weeks ... as he and the Jets have both looked totally cooked so far in 2024.

New York is merely 3-8 ... and Rodgers is having one of the worst statistical seasons of his career -- logging just 17 touchdowns to go along with seven interceptions.

The gold medal gymnast was in Chicago Sunday to watch Jonathan Owens' Chicago Bears take on the Minnesota Vikings ... and, in a particularly important moment, her man came up with a big stop short of the goal line.

Owens comes up and rips the ball out of running back Aaron Jones' hands ... running off toward the sideline with his prize.

Patrick Mahomes got a big penalty for a game, but not for a play ... as far as the refs were concerned, it was way more ominous.

The Kansas City Chiefs QB was fined just over $14,000 for what officials called a "violent gesture" toward the end of the game against Buffalo last Sunday.

Mahomes had just thrown a touchdown pass and decided to celebrate by using his fingers to mimic the firing of a gun.

The autograph hound who went nuclear on Jason Kelce outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last night was living up to a reputation he's earned in Hollywood ... as a guy who likes to explode on celebs -- at least according to cops.

Law enforcement and 'Kimmel' security sources tell TMZ ... the guy who's seen on video calling Jason a "p***y" is a regular at the studio and Hollywood premieres, and always shows up when celebs get their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

We're told the autograph-seeker gets famous people's signatures all the time ... and once in a while, he pops off like he did in our video after Jason's Thursday appearance on 'Kimmel.'

Daniel Jones' time with the New York Football Giants is over -- the organization just released the former first-round pick at the quarterback's request.

The surprising news was announced on Friday ... just days after the 27-year-old lost his starting job amid a 2-8 record on the 2024-25 season.

Giants president John Mara said Jones met with him this morning and asked to be released ... and both sides felt it was the right move.

A watch belonging to Travis Kelce was reportedly recovered nearly 1,400 miles from his home ... with authorities hunting down the timepiece amid an investigation into the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's recent break-in.

ABC News is reporting Kelce's item was found in Providence, Rhode Island as officials try to get to the bottom of a slew of burglaries at the homes of several professional athletes -- including Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and Linval Joseph.

It's unclear if Kelce's watch was taken during the Oct. 7 burglary TMZ Sports first reported  ... as according to police documents we obtained, only $20,000 was reported missing following the break-in.

The Steelers vs. Browns game went down in Cleveland on Thursday night, but it sure looked like it was being played inside of a snowglobe -- as a blizzard pelted the athletes for hours right in the middle of the contest.

Check out some of the scenes from "Thursday Night Football" at Huntington Bank Field -- initially, the game unfolded without any sort of issue ... but in the second half, there was so much snow at the stadium, viewers could hardly see the players on the field.

According to weather experts, the area saw as much as eight inches of snowfall ... and it certainly affected the game.

Jason Kelce is ready to make his mark on late-night television ... announcing his new talk show set for 2025.

The retired NFL star confirmed he's launching a new late show for ESPN, titled "They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce," during his Thursday appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

However, instead of filming the show in the typical Los Angeles or New York City locations, Jason told Jimmy he's going back to his Philadelphia roots.

A man seeking a Jason Kelce autograph on Thursday night went ballistic on the former NFL star ... calling him a "p***y" and screaming out "f*** you" repeatedly, but Travis Kelce's big bro admirably deescalated the situation -- and the tense moments were all captured on video by TMZ Sports.

The wild scene played out just a couple hours ago in Hollywood ... as Jason was leaving an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Several autograph seekers had camped outside of the studio in an effort to snag the former Philadelphia Eagles player's John Hancock as he departed ... but when Jason bypassed them all and headed for his car -- one of the signature hunters snapped.
