Myles Garrett Freakishly Box Jumps 60 Inches 'Nothing But Vert, Baby!'

Published

This. Is. INSANE!!!

As if we needed more proof Myles Garrett's athleticism is not from this planet ... here's the Cleveland Browns superstar box jumping 60 INCHES -- from a standstill position!!!

The vert is CRAZY high -- most normies have trouble getting over just 24 inches -- and you can see in the footage, it didn't even take all that much effort for Myles to complete.

"It's nothing but vert, baby!" Garrett said afterward.

Of course, we should've seen this coming ... Garrett's been a monster in the weight room for YEARS -- remember when he deadlifted over 400 pounds for reps just a few weeks ago?!?!

As for his vert ... that's always been impressive -- he jumped 41 inches at the NFL Combine in 2017 -- but, clearly, his hops have improved further.

Yeah, be afraid, AFC North QBs. Be very afraid.

Von Miller Finally Tests Negative for COVID ... Battled Virus For Weeks

Published

Great news for Von Miller ... the Denver Broncos superstar is now COVID-19 negative -- this after he battled the virus for over two weeks.

Von tested positive back on April 16 ... saying his symptoms started a few days earlier with trouble breathing and a bad cough.

"My girlfriend she told me when I was asleep she said my cough it didn’t sound normal," Miller said at the time.

Von spent the next couple weeks fighting through the illness ... and you can see in video of him celebrating the Broncos' first-round draft pick on April 21, his cough was pretty gnarly.

But, Miller tweeted Thursday that a new test revealed he had beaten the virus ... saying, "Got my results back. Im 'negative' for Covid-19."

So far, Miller, Saints coach Sean Payton and L.A. Rams center Brian Allen are the only known NFLers to have contracted the virus.

But, all three are doing well now ... providing a glimmer of hope that we'll be able to see them and the rest of the league on football fields whenever the NFL eventually kicks off.

Will Ferrell Crashes Seahawks' Zoom Meeting ... Pretending to Be Greg Olsen

Published

Will Ferrell dropped in on a Seattle Seahawks Zoom meeting this week ... making fun of new tight end Greg Olsen and showing off his "yoga bod" -- and it was all absolutely hilarious!!

Ferrell and 'Hawks coach Pete Carroll have a friendship that dates back more than a decade (it's a USC connection) ... and to liven up a mundane football talk Thursday -- PC had the comedian call in.

The results?? They were laugh out loud funny ... with Ferrell pretending to be Olsen and firing off jokes left and right.

"Coach [Brian] Schneider, I just want to let you know -- I want to be real clear -- I do not do special teams," Ferrell said. "Not ever. Not if all 52 guys are hurt."

Ferrell also joked about a bromance with Russell Wilson -- "let's make a baby" -- and even took shots at Olsen's aspiring broadcast career.

But, the best part ... Ferrell poked fun at his bod -- and when the comedy legend pulled up his shirt, everyone on the call busted out in laughter.

"Does this look like the body of a 36-year-old!?" Ferrell said, still pretending to be Olsen. "I don't think so! I don't think so!"

The call eventually ended with the real Olsen joining ... and even he couldn't help but laugh at all the jokes, saying, "That was awesome!"

If we can't have football yet ... at least we've got this. Thanks, Seahawks!

CeeDee Lamb Cowboys' New #88 ... Dez Supports It!!!

Published
UPDATE

12:17 PM PT -- The Cowboys have made Lamb's jersey number officially official ... and Dez Bryant just weighed in on it all, telling CeeDee, "BE YOU and BE GREAT.."

UPDATE

AWWWW!!!!

Michael Irvin rocked it. So did Dez Bryant ... but the Dallas Cowboys officially have a new #88 -- 1st round pick CeeDee Lamb!!

It's a HUGE deal to rock that number in Big D -- especially following in the footsteps of legends like Mike, Dez and Drew Pearson -- but Jerry Jones made it clear he wanted to see the rookie in #88.

And, what Jerry wants, Jerry usually gets.

Remember, Lamb rocked #2 at Oklahoma -- but the NFL won't allow WRs to wear single-digit numbers in the league.

Lamb initially said he wanted #10 in Dallas ... but Jones made a compelling argument to switch to #88 ... telling reporters he hoped CeeDee would take the number to pay tribute to his friend and former Arkansas teammate, Jerry Lamb, who passed away this year.

"He was number 88," Jones said ... "I said in honor of my great friend that just passed this year we’re going to have his namesake come on here and wear old number 88."

"Just like Michael and Dez and those guys, and we’ve got us a wide receiver. And let me tell you one thing if he’s got the competes and heart of that Jerry Lamb he’ll be bad to the bone."

The jersey assignment hasn't been officially announced by the team yet ... but the NFL is already selling the Lamb 88s in the league store -- so you know it's only a matter of time.

As for CeeDee's say in the jersey process ... it's unclear how much influence he had on the pick -- but we do know one thing, this probably officially closes the door on Dez's dreams of coming back to the Cowboys.

Sad times ... but here's to new beginnings!

Kristin Cavallari Jay is 'Punishing' Me Financially ... He Says She's Being 'Completely Frivolous'

Published
UPDATE

9:39 AM PT -- Jay thinks Kristin is being excessive in her quest to buy her own place.

UPDATE

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jay says they already have several properties together, so another pad is just ridiculous.

UPDATE

According to the docs, Jay says they own two multimillion-dollar homes in Tennessee and have also committed to buying a multimillion-dollar condo at the Four Seasons in Nashville, so she doesn't need another place to call home.

UPDATE

Jay says Kristin purchasing another house would be "a completely frivolous and unnecessary expense."

UPDATE

In her response, Kristin says one of their homes is for sale and she doesn't like to stay in it because there is no internet, and they split time in the other house. She also claims construction hasn't even started on the Four Seasons condo property yet and Jay didn't object to the new place until he tried to use it as leverage in their divorce.

UPDATE

But, Jay thinks Kristin has plenty of space to spread her wings ... in the docs, he says they also have 187 acres of land in Tennessee, plus a 75-acre farm in Kentucky and a condo in L.A.

UPDATE

In her response, Kristin claims she emailed something to her financial manager -- who happens to be friends with Jay -- and that email appeared as an exhibit in one of Jay’s court filings. Kristin says she thinks either the financial manager gave it to Jay or Jay hacked her email.

UPDATE

Kristin says that would either be a major breach of trust by the manager or possibly a criminal act by Jay.

Kristin Cavallari claims Jay Cutler is already getting petty in their divorce by refusing to let her buy her own house, while also declaring he won't leave their current crib.

Kristin reportedly filed new docs Wednesday, and accused Jay of withholding money from her -- money she claims he had no problem with her spending last fall. According to the docs, things were bad enough in the marriage late last year, that she started house hunting and found something she liked. Kristin claims Jay "never objected" to her getting her own place.

She says she started the buying process, but stopped when she and Jay decided to give the marriage one more chance. That didn't last more than a few months ... Kristin says they realized "divorce was inevitable," and started talking about it in early March.

Kristin claims the nastiness started later that month when they got back from the Bahamas. In the docs, she claims Jay told her he would not release the funds she needed for the house. She thinks that was his way of "punishing" her.

It seems they also didn't see eye-to-eye on child custody. Kristin reportedly claims he tried to intimidate her into accepting a custody arrangement she deemed "unfavorable" ... and told her he wouldn't leave the Tennessee home they currently share.

Kristin claims living under the same roof with Jay creates a bad environment for their 3 kids, because he's constantly trying to pick fights with her in front of them.

As TMZ first reported ... Kristin's response to Jay's divorce filing accused him of "marital misconduct," but it wasn't about cheating. Her new filing makes it clear she thinks his decisions could cause "irreparable harm" to the kids.

Kristin wants out of their house now -- she's asking the judge to force Jay to release "her portion of their funds," so she can buy her own pad.

NFL's Telvin Smith Gave Underage Girl $100 After Sex ... Officials Say

Published | Updated
UPDATE

7:06 AM PT -- Telvin Smith allegedly had two sexual encounters with an underage girl -- and officials say they have everything from DNA to audio recordings to prove his guilt.

UPDATE

In court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports ... officials spell out their case against 29-year-old Smith -- and it's pretty damning.

UPDATE

Officials say Smith met the girl at her work back in August 2019 ... and he pursued her hard, despite the girl's co-workers saying it was clear to the NFL star she was under 18.

UPDATE

Officials say Smith had sex with the girl just days later ... and offered her $200 for her troubles. The alleged victim told authorities she declined the cash at first, but says Smith ultimately "pressured her into taking a $100 bill."

UPDATE

The alleged victim told officials she later used that money to buy emergency contraception.

UPDATE

According to the court docs, the alleged victim says Smith told her "that if anyone raised concerns about them speaking, to say that Smith was serving as a 'mentor' to her."

UPDATE

The alleged victim claims there was a second incident in September 2019, when Smith picked her up in his Cadillac Escalade and they had sex inside the vehicle in a nearby parking lot.

UPDATE

The alleged victim told family members about the incidents -- and police were notified.

UPDATE

In November, investigators executed a search warrant and seized Smith's Cadillac Escalade to collect DNA evidence. Officials insinuate in court docs, DNA collected in the car matches the alleged victim.

UPDATE

There's more ... officials say the alleged victim also has voice memos from Smith in which he calls her "baby," requests that she spend the night, and makes kissing noises to her.

UPDATE

As we previously reported ... Smith was arrested Wednesday afternoon for unlawful sexual activity with certain minors. Records show he posted bond and was released late Wednesday night.

UPDATE

3:20 PM PT -- Telvin is smiling from ear to ear in his mug shot ... so it appears he's not too worried about the arrest.

UPDATE

3:16 PM PT -- Smith entered the Duval County Jail in cuffs ... wearing red and black basketball shorts and a black t-shirt -- new footage shows.

UPDATE
UPDATE

Smith reportedly turned himself in ... and, afterward, WJXT's Vic Micolucci reports law enforcement officials -- including SWAT and CSI technicians -- combed through his Florida home.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars star Telvin Smith has been arrested in Florida ... jail records show he was booked Wednesday on a charge of "unlawful sexual activity with certain minors."

Details surrounding the case are unclear ... we're working on it, but records show the 29-year-old was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and processed at 5:20 p.m. ET.

Jail records also show the 6'4", 215-pound ex-linebacker had his bond set at $50,003.

Remember, back in November, officials swarmed his home -- and according to police records obtained by TMZ Sports, it was because they received "information regarding a case of Unlawful Sexual Activity with Certain Minors."

Now, seems something significant has happened in the investigation ... with cops arresting Telvin on a similar charge Wednesday.

Smith was a stud for the Jaguars after being selected in the 5th round of the 2014 NFL Draft ... starting 69 games from '14 to '18 while making 1 Pro Bowl appearance.

He famously abruptly retired prior to the 2019 season ... writing on social media that he "must take time away from the game & get my world in order."

Cincinatti Bengals Officially Cut Andy Dalton ... Joe Burrow Era Officially Begins

Published
UPDATE

9:16 AM PT -- And, it's official ... the Bengals have formally released the QB.

UPDATE

The team put out a statement and a "Thank You" note to Dalton, calling him a "role model" during his time in Cinci.

UPDATE

The Cincinnati Bengals are releasing Andy Dalton ... officially handing over the keys to their franchise to #1 overall pick, Joe Burrow.

The move, confirmed by multiple NFL reporters, will obviously pave the way for Burrow to be the Bengals' Day 1 starter in Cincy.

32-year-old Dalton had a hell of a run for the team ... he was drafted in the 2nd round in 2011 and started 133 games through 2019.

Dalton made three Pro Bowl appearances in his 9-year career ... but new head coach Zac Taylor was clearly ready to move on and begin a new era with Burrow.

Don't cry too much for Andy ... he reportedly made over $80 MILLION in his tenure with the team -- and rumors are Bill Belichick is possibly targeting him to replace Tom Brady in New England.

By the way, we know his arm's certainly up for the task ... remember when the Red Rifle showed off his gun in the backyard with his kids this month?!!?

Yeah, heads up, Jarrett Stidham!!

Ron Jaworski Salivates Over Cowboys' Draft ... 'CeeDee Is Special!!!'

Published | Updated

Ron Jaworski tells TMZ Sports he's nervous for his Eagles ... 'cause the Philly legend says the Dallas Cowboys CRUSHED the NFL draft last week!!

"I'm worried as hell about those Dallas Cowboys, man," Jaws says.

As for why ... Jaworski tells us CeeDee Lamb -- Jerry Jones' top pick last week -- is an elite receiver talent who he was actually hoping would fall to the Eagles at pick No. 21.

"CeeDee Lamb is special," Jaws says. "I'm watching him kind of slip down, slip down. And, I'm going, 'He may fall to 21! The Eagles might get him!' But, he wasn't getting by Jerry Jones!"

The Cowboys were THRILLED to land the Oklahoma receiver ... and, in fact, they went on to have such a huge draft -- Jerry said it might have been his finest work since 2005.

Jaws was having a hard time disagreeing with that when we spoke with him this week ... saying, "Oh, boy! We get to see (CeeDee Lamb) for the next 10 years?!"

"Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott, their offensive line -- woah! They're going to be good! Going to be a good group!"

The Eagles, meanwhile, were widely panned for their selections ... but Jaws tells us he believes first-rounder Jalen Reagor is going to work out just fine.

UPDATE

7:23 AM PT -- 4/28 -- TMZ Sports has obtained the arrest report ... and it's shocking.

UPDATE

The cop says the men tried to hide the weed when he arrived -- with Breeland repeatedly attempting to leave the scene.

UPDATE

The officer says citizens in the area were begging Breeland to "stop resisting" and ultimately the officer was able to put him in handcuffs.

UPDATE

When backup arrived, officers searched Breeland's car and claim they found a "large marijuana blunt" along with 3.2 grams of weed in the driver door.

UPDATE

Cops say they also found open bottles of beer and tequila in the car.

UPDATE

According to the arrest report, Breeland told cops he is a "marijuana enthusiast" who simply likes to smoke ... the insinuation is that he denies being a drug dealer.

UPDATE

Cops also say Breeland "had a large amount of cash on him as well."

UPDATE

Breeland was eventually transported to a nearby police station where he was booked for multiple charges including resisting arrest and possession of weed.

UPDATE

He was released late Tuesday night on $2,362 bond.

UPDATE

"I really was at a gas pump got approach by two guys police pulled up they throw something my car as police pulled up which the cop saw," Breeland said.

UPDATE

"I was the one detained wit charges that really shouldn’t be charged."

Kansas City Chiefs star Bashaud Breeland -- who had an interception in Super Bowl LIV -- was just busted for weed possession, open container and resisting arrest, officials confirm.

We've reached out to the Chiefs for comment ... so far, no word back.

Boston Mayor Clowns TB12 Over Tampa Park Incident ... 'That's What He Gets!!!'

Published
Boston Mayor, Tom Brady
SERVES HIM RIGHT

"He goes to Tampa Bay and that's what he gets getting thrown out of the park! So, it serves him right!"

That's Boston Mayor Marty Walsh clowning Tom Brady over his closed Tampa park incident ... and the shade he threw at ex-Patriots QB for the snafu after leaving New England was hilarious!!

The head of the Massachusetts city joined WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" on Tuesday ... and when Tom getting booted for illegally working out in a Florida park was brought up -- the mayor didn't hold back on the jokes.

"See, if Tom Brady stayed, there's some exceptions I would make," Walsh said. "And, having Tom Brady throw a football, I probably would have maybe looked the other way on that one."

"But, he goes to Tampa Bay and that's what he gets!"

Of course, Tom famously bolted from the Patriots for the Buccaneers in March ... and he hasn't exactly had the smoothest transition to his new home.

After the 42-year-old was kicked out of a park that was closed due to coronavirus concerns earlier this month ... he accidentally trespassed a few days later when he was trying to find his new offensive coordinator's house!!

But, it ain't like people in Boston are crying for him ... because come on, Tom -- you did leave them with Jarrett Stidham as the new QB1 after all!!!!

Jameis Winston 'Put My Ego Aside' to Be Saints Backup ... I'll Miss Being Starter

Published

Some real honesty from Jameis Winston -- who says he had to check his ego to become the backup QB for the New Orleans Saints ... but thinks it's worth the investment.

Winston -- the #1 overall pick in 2015 with the Bucs -- just signed a 1-year deal to back up Drew Brees in NO ... and calls it a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to learn from one of the best of all time.

"It was no better position than to be in the same room with someone that I’ve really looked up to, someone that I admired since I’ve been playing this game in Drew Brees," Winston said on "Chalk Talk with Charlie Ward."

In fact, Winston says being in the same QB room as Brees, Taysom Hill and the Saints coaching staff is "like a Harvard education in quarterback school."

He continued ... "I wanted to put my ego aside, put the money aside and think about my family, think about my career."

"There’s a proverb. Humility comes before honor. So I have to humble myself and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be with Drew Brees and be with the New Orleans Saints and just prepare. Just prepare for when my next opportunity is going to present itself."

Winston also says he knows there's no chance he wins the starting QB job over Brees ... but sees the opportunity as a stepping stone.

"I’ve done some great things with the Bucs. I’m going to miss being a starting quarterback. But you never know what happens. I think this is just a great and unique step to join Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints and learn from him. Learn from one of the best to ever do it and make a great transition in my career."

Of course, Winston was replaced in Tampa Bay by Tom Brady after 5 seasons as the Bucs starting QB.

WHO'S A GOOD -- AND NOW VERY POPULAR -- BOY?!?!?

Bill Belichick's girlfriend says their dog, Nike, is!!!

Linda Holliday said on "The Adam Schefter Podcast" this week that the pup was so adorable during its viral moment at the NFL draft ... the dog's fan base has grown from a couple hundred to nearly 20,000!!!!

If you missed it ... Nike stole the show at the Patriots' draft last Friday -- when it took Belichick's seat just seconds before New England made its 2nd-round pick.

Cameras caught the pup staring at The Hoodie's monitors ... and the scene couldn't have been cuter.

Linda says within minutes of Nike's unexpected cameo -- her phone blew up ... with people hitting the follow button on the dog's IG like crazy!!!

"Nike went from 1,000 followers to about 10,000 followers," Holiday says, "and my phone was just blowing up."

Nike is now up to over 16,000 followers on his social media account since the draft ... this despite Linda saying she's only put a handful of pics on the page!!

As for how the dog did captaining Bill's ship during the weekend? The coach and Linda have got a lot of belly rubbing to do ... 'cause most pundits gave the Patriots' picks an A grade!!!

NFL's Alex Smith Docs Put Part Of My Quad Into My Shin ... To Save Leg

Published
UPDATE

12:17 PM PT -- More details are coming out about Alex Smith's recovery from his broken leg ... with the QB saying doctors had to surgically move a piece of his quad into his shin to save his leg.

UPDATE

Smith revealed the procedure to ESPN in a Sept. 2019 interview ... explaining all of his scars on his injured leg in great detail.

UPDATE
UPDATE

"This guy is where they took part of my quad," Smith says ... "And that's what is down here."

UPDATE

Smith also showed where doctors took skin from his thigh to cover up some of the damage caused by his freak 2018 injury ... and, yeah, it's pretty gnarly.

WARNING -- if you can't handle painfully gross injury pictures, please sit this one out.

Still here?? Okay. Let's get into it.

A new image of Washington Redskins QB Alex Smith's injury from 4 days after his devastating broken leg surgery in 2018 has surfaced ... and it's beyond displeasing.

Of course, Smith has previously stated he's lucky to be alive -- let alone have his right leg -- following the unfortunate in-game incident against the Texans ... as his road to recovery was hindered by infections that required 17 follow-up surgeries.

A picture of Smith's infected leg just days after surgery was aired on ESPN Monday -- as part of a promo for the E:60 documentary, "Project 11," premiering on Friday -- and it shows how bad the infection was.

35-year-old Smith has previously said that he's focused on getting better and maintains the goal of getting back on to the football field ... but understands there are no guarantees.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The former #1 overall pick has since made a brief return to throwing ... and even made an appearance at Redskins organized team activities in 2019 ... but it would be a miracle to see him suit up in a game again.

Tom Brady Cleared By NFL After Probe Into Tampa House Incident

Published | Updated

Tom Brady did NOT violate league rules by meeting with a Bucs coach at a Tampa house during a bungled home visit earlier this month, the NFL says.

Yeah, it was funny when Tom entered the wrong pad while trying to meet with Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich on April 7 -- but it also raised red flags with NFL officials.

Long story short, players and coaches are NOT allowed to have X's and O's meetings until teams begin offseason programs -- which the Bucs had not yet done at the time of the visit.

The NFL launched an investigation into the incident -- but good news for Tom, he's in the clear.

"We made an inquiry and determined there was no violation," an NFL spokesperson tells us ... "It was a brief personal visit and Tom picked up the playbook."

We broke the story ... a Tampa-area resident says the legendary QB barged into his home on April 7 after Tom thought the place belonged to Leftwich.

The story was hilarious ... David Kramer says Tom bolted from his place SUPER QUICKLY and into Leftwich's real house after the quarterback realized his blunder.

Tom even found it all funny ... joking about it on social media last week!!

It's not the first time Brady caught a break this month -- TB12 got away with a warning earlier when he was caught illegally working out at a closed Tampa-area park that was closed due to COVID-19.

Which proves yet again, TB12 just can't lose!!
