DraftKings emitió un mea culpa el lunes por la mañana, después de que el sitio de apuestas publicara una apuesta temática del 11-S que muchos consideraron insensible.

La apuesta se llamaba "Nunca Olvides" y permitía a los aficionados apostar a si los Met, los Yankees o los Jets de Nueva York, ganarían el lunes, cuando se conmemora el 22 aniversario de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York.

Inmediatamente después de su publicación, los usuarios de las redes sociales empezaron a tacharla de insensible y grosera.

A raíz de esta reacción DraftKings lo retiró de su sitio horas más tarde y emitió una disculpa.

"Nos disculpamos sinceramente por el parlay (apuesta) destacado que se compartió brevemente en conmemoración del 11-S", dijo un portavoz del sitio en un comunicado al Boston Globe. Respetamos el significado de este día para nuestro país y especialmente para las familias de aquellos que fueron directamente afectados."

Cal's loss to Auburn on Saturday stung in more ways than one for Aaron Rodgers ... 'cause it appeared he and his Jets teammate had a wager on the game -- one that resulted in the quarterback having to reluctantly wear some Tigers gear on Sunday.

The Golden Bears -- who Rodgers played for from 2003 to 2004 -- fell to Auburn, 14-10, in Berkeley ... and it seems Rodgers had a bet with C.J. Uzomah over it all ... 'cause roughly 24 hours after the L, the signal-caller was seen in the NY locker room with a whole lot of of orange on.

Uzomah, who played for the Tigers from 2011 to 2014, filmed Rodgers' surprising 'fit ... and his chuckle and comments on the vid indicated he got the best of Rodgers in a gamble on the game.

"Aaron," he said in the clip, "you love it. Say, 'War Eagle.' Just one time."

Rodgers, decked out in an AU cap and a War Eagle shirt, refused to do so ... shaking his head while giving his tight end a thumbs down.

Auburn loved the video so much ... the school even re-shared Uzomah's clip on its IG page.

"The newest fan of Auburn Football 🤣" AU wrote. "Sorry @aaronrodgers12, looks like @cj_uzomah won this one 👀."

Ex-NFL star Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested for making terroristic threats and alcohol intoxication at an airport near Cincinnati early Monday morning ... after officials say police were called to assist with an "unruly passenger."

TMZ Sports has confirmed the former 6th-overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft was taken into custody around 6 AM ... and was officially booked an hour later.

Jones is facing misdemeanor charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening. While we're working to gather more information, the latter charge is especially of note ... considering Monday is the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Prior to the arrest, Jones posted a video of himself walking through the Northern Kentucky International Airport ... ranting about the Bengals' 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

This isn't Jones' first run-in with the law ... and isn't his first airport incident, either -- he famously got in a brawl in Atlanta back in 2018, although officials determined he was not the aggressor.

Jones -- who played for the Titans, Cowboys, Bengals and Broncos over the course of his 13-year career -- was most recently arrested in 2021 ... after he got in a violent altercation at a bar in Cincinnati.

8.30 AM PT -- Adam "Pacman" Jones compartió su versión del incidente tras salir de la cárcel, defendiéndose apasionadamente ante un grupo de periodistas.

Pacman afirma que no hizo nada malo y calificó de ridículas las acusaciones en su contra por amenazas terroristas y negó rotundamente estar borracho durante el supuesto altercado.

"¿Te parece que estoy borracho?", le preguntó Pacman a un periodista. "Sólo he estado encerrado dos horas".

"Estás hablando de las 6:30 de la mañana. ¿Quién diablos está borracho a las 6:30 de la mañana?".

Pacman - que no es ajeno a la controversia - dice ser la víctima de la situación, añadiendo: "Esta s*** se está haciendo vieja, hermano. Se está haciendo viejo. Y tenemos que dejar de hacer esto".

Pacman, que no es ajeno a la controversia, dice ser la víctima de la situación, añadiendo: "Me estoy volviendo viejo, hermano. Este **** se está haciendo viejo, y tenemos que dejar de hacer esto".

También hizo un llamado a los medios de comunicación a "informar de los pu**** hechos", explicando que todo se desencadenó cuando pidió que lo cambiaran de asiento porque el enfuche eléctrico del lugar que le habían asignado no funcionaba.

La ex estrella de la NFL Adam "Pacman" Jones fue arrestado por realizar amenazas terroristas y estar en estado de ebriedad en un aeropuerto cercano a Cincinnati la madrugada del lunes. Los funcionarios dicen que llamaron a la policía para que los ayudara con un "pasajero rebelde".

TMZ Sports confirmó que el ex número 6 en el Draft de la NFL 2005 fue puesto bajo custodia alrededor de las 6 AM, y fue oficialmente ingresado una hora más tarde.

Jones se enfrenta a cargos de delito menor por estado de ebriedad, conducta desordenada y amenazas terroristas. Aunque estamos trabajando para reunir más información, este último cargo es especialmente importante teniendo en cuenta que el lunes es el aniversario de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001.

Antes de la detención, Jones publicó un video de sí mismo caminando por el Aeropuerto Internacional de Northern Kentucky, despotricando sobre la derrota de los Bengals por 24-3 ante los Cleveland Browns.

Este no es el primer encontronazo de Jones con la justicia y tampoco su primer incidente en un aeropuerto. En 2018, fue agarrado públicamente en una pelea en Atlanta, aunque los funcionarios determinaron que no había sido el agresor.

Jones -quien jugó para los Titans, Cowboys, Bengals y Broncos en el transcurso de su carrera de 13 años- fue arrestado más recientemente en 2021, después de estar envuelto en un violento altercado en un bar en Cincinnati.

Una aficionada de los Commanders golpeó a otra mujer en la nuca durante una tensa pelea en el FedEx Field el domingo. El salvaje momento quedó grabado en vídeo.

La pelea se produjo durante el partido entre Washington y los Arizona Cardinals, cuando un grupo de personas que llevaban la camiseta de los Commanders se enfadaron tanto que las cosas se pusieron feas.

No está claro cual es el motivo que provocó la conmoción inicial, pero mientras los individuos discutían, una mujer con una camiseta negra de Jahan Dotson levantó el puño y golpeó a otra mujer.

El golpe sacudió a la hincha de los Commanders. La mujer, adolorida, puso sus manos sobre la parte posterior de su cabeza mientras otros intervenían para separarlas.

Afortunadamente no hubo más puñetazos y prevaleció la calma entre los apasionados fans.

Michael Irvin was back analyzing games on the NFL Network on Sunday ... after he settled his $100 million defamation lawsuit against Marriott.

The Dallas Cowboys legend was all smiles on "NFL Gameday Morning" as he was introduced by host Rich Eisen ... saying on the show, "It's good to be here."

The appearance marked the first time Irvin had been on the network since February ... after he had been suspended following allegations that he was inappropriate with a Marriott employee during Super Bowl week in Phoenix.

The worker -- who Irvin ID'ed as Jane Doe in court documents -- alleged that Irvin had stopped her near the hotel's bar, told her she was attractive ... and then asked her "whether she knew anything about having a 'big Black man inside of [her].'"

Irvin was adamant the claims were not true ... and he filed a lawsuit against Marriott a short time later, saying the Hotel giant's "employees and management inaccurately and inflammatorily accused Mr. Irvin of misconduct to the National Football League" -- costing him tens of millions of dollars. Irvin and his attorney, Levi McCathern, released video of the apparent interaction between the two -- and said it showed nothing more than a brief, innocuous conversation.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the parties reached a settlement recently ... which paved the way for Irvin's return to NFL N. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed publicly.

Michael Irvin volvió a analizar los partidos en la NFL Network el domingo, luego de que resolviera su demanda de 100 millones de dólares por difamación contra Marriott.

La leyenda de los Dallas Cowboys era todo sonrisas en "NFL Gameday Morning" mientras era presentado por el anfitrión Rich Eisen, diciendo en el programa: "Es bueno estar aquí".

Esta es la primera aparición de Irvin desde febrero, luego de ser suspendido tras las acusaciones de comportamiento inapropiado con una empleada de Marriott durante la semana del Super Bowl en Phoenix.

La trabajadora, a la que Irvin identificó como Jane Doe en los documentos judiciales, alegó que Irvin la había abordado cerca del bar del hotel, le había dicho que era atractiva y luego le preguntó "si sabía algo sobre tener un 'gran hombre negro dentro de ella'".

Irvin insistió en que las afirmaciones no eran ciertas y poco después presentó una demanda contra Marriott, alegando que "los empleados y la dirección del gigante hotelero acusaron de forma inexacta e incendiaria al Sr. Irvin de mala conducta ante la Liga Nacional de Fútbol", lo que le costó decenas de millones de dólares. Irvin y su abogado, Levi McCathern, publicaron un vídeo de la aparente interacción entre los dos, y dijeron que no mostraba nada más que una breve e inocua conversación.

Según el Dallas Morning News, las partes llegaron a un acuerdo recientemente, preparando de esta manera el regreso de Irvin a la NFL N. Los términos del acuerdo no fueron revelados públicamente.

Ricky Williams was one of the best running backs of his era ... but he says he had the potential to dominate in a completely different sport -- the former Miami Dolphins standout tells TMZ Sports he could have been an All-Star if he pursued a career on the baseball diamond!!

Before he made his way to the NFL gridiron, Ricky -- whose legal name is now Errick Miron -- played several seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies' farm system while juggling his time with the Texas Longhorns football team.

Ricky -- an 8th-round pick to the Phils in the '95 MLB Amateur Draft -- was an outfielder for the organization's rookie league and Single-A teams for four years ... and footage of one of his early games actually exists!!

So when we caught up with Ricky last week, we asked if he's ever wondered how things would've panned out had he switched his focus to baseball ... and he believes he had the skills to hang with the big leaguers.

"I wouldn't say I was great, I had a lot of potential," Ricky told us. "I love to get better at things. If I would have devoted my full time to baseball, I would have been an All-Star baseball player."

So, what led him to football instead of baseball?? A pretty understandable reason.

"It's a fantasy, but the reality is I'm kind of the person where 162 games -- that's too much for me.

"Football is intense, but you got a nice offseason. That's more my speed."

Safe to say it all worked out -- Ricky won the Heisman Trophy in 1998 ... and went on to rush for more than 10,000 yards in his career.

Ricky Williams fue uno de los mejores corredores de su época, pero dice que tenía el potencial para dominar en un deporte completamente diferente. El ex jugador de los Miami Dolphins le comentó a TMZ Sports que podría haber sido una estrella si hubiera comenzado una carrera en el béisbol.

Antes de forjar su camino en la NFL, Ricky —cuyo nombre legal es ahora Errick Miron— jugó varias temporadas con los Filis de Filadelfia, mientras hacía malabares con su tiempo con el equipo de fútbol de Texas Longhorns.

Ricky, elegido en la octava ronda del Draft de Aficionados de la MLB de 1995, fue jardinero de los equipos de la liga de novatos y de la liga Single-A durante cuatro años... ¡¡y existen imágenes de uno de sus primeros partidos!

Así que cuando nos pusimos al día con Ricky la semana pasada, le preguntamos si alguna vez se había preguntado cómo habrían ido las cosas si hubiera cambiado su enfoque al béisbol ... y él cree que tenía las habilidades para estar con los grandes jugadores de liga.

"No diría que era genial, pero tenía mucho potencial", nos dijo Ricky. "Me encanta mejorar. Si me hubiera dedicado a tiempo completo al béisbol, habría sido un jugador de béisbol All-Star".

Entonces, ¿qué le llevó al fútbol en lugar del béisbol? Una razón bastante comprensible.

"Es una fantasía, pero la realidad es que soy una persona en la que 162 partidos... eso es demasiado para mí.

"El fútbol es intenso, pero tienes una buena temporada baja. Ese es más mi ritmo".

Ricky ganó el Trofeo Heisman en 1998 y llegó a correr más de 10.000 yardas en su carrera.

Kim Zolciak seems to be in full-blown denial -- or else Kroy has had a radical change of heart -- because she's talking like her marriage is still a work in progress, despite the fact her husband has filed for divorce and wants to sell the family home.

Kim posted, "I'm living here not going anywhere! Been working on our marriage and have been living as husband and wife. The lies daily are too much."

Thing is ... Kroy Biermann has not only filed for divorce ... he wants the kids. He's accused her of sinking the family into a deep financial hole, in part because of her gambling.

Kroy has been trying to get Kim to sign off on selling the family home ... giving they have an IRS debt of more than a mil, and lawsuits totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid personal debts, including a $150,000 SAKS bill.

Kroy's lawyers have told TMZ the divorce is still on, but Kim seems to think it's all salvageable.

Vernon Davis' playing days might not be over after all ... the two-time Pro Bowler tells TMZ Sports he'd consider coming out of retirement if a team made him the right offer.

"Yeah, absolutely," he said this week. "Whoever needs a tight end, I could come in."

Davis hasn't played a down in the league since the 2019 season ... and he's been super busy with a budding Hollywood career and other business endeavors in the last four years.

But, the 39-year-old former first-round pick says when he finds the time to catch some games on TV ... he does get the itch to compete again.

"I want to test my ability against these young guys," he said.

As for the chances of a return actually happening, Davis tells us the team would need to be a contender ... and the money would have to be right -- but if that all fell into place, he's in.

"If it's all connected from a winning standpoint, as well as financially, yeah," he said. "Come on, I'll come off the bench."

"Put me in, Coach. Put me in, Coach!"

For now, though, Davis seems to be content being a fan -- and he tells us from that standpoint, he sees the Ravens being an underrated Super Bowl contender.

Dak Prescott has paid tribute to his late mom once again ... this time, he and his brother got matching tattoos to honor her on what would have been her 62nd birthday.

The Dallas Cowboys superstar and his older bro, Tad, hit up Christina of Inked By Auburn on Monday afternoon to see if she could fit them in that day ... and despite being closed for the holiday, the artist jumped at the chance to help the Prescotts out.

Christina tells TMZ Sports ... Dak and Tad came to her shop late Monday evening, and they both settled on getting Virgo constellations to represent their mom's zodiac sign.

Tad went first, getting the piece done on his hand. Christina also tattooed the dates of Peggy's birthday and the day of her passing below it as well.

Dak then got his on his bicep ... and both were super pleased with the outcome -- happily posing for photos.

It all took about 90 minutes to complete ... and afterward, Christina says Dak sent her a message, thanking her and saying he'd be back for more ink soon.

Novak Djokovic was one happy camper Friday night ... not only did he advance to the finals of the US Open, but he got a surprise visit from Tom Brady.

The tennis great and NFL legend came face to face in a locker room at New York's Flushing Meadows Corona Park after Djokovic beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 in their semifinal match.

Brady showed up to congratulate Djokovic on his victory, propelling him into the finals against Daniil Medvedev. The retired quarterback even brought along his 3 kiddos -- Jack, Benjamin and Vivian -- to meet the world's No. 2 ranked tennis player.

Check out this video posted to X ... Brady and Djokovic shake hands and embrace, both men smiling.

Brady then offers Djokovic some encouragement, "Keep kicking ass, as always." Djokovic replies, "Trying, trying."

One by one, Brady introduces his children to Djokovic before admitting he unfortunately missed Novak's semifinal match.

Shannon Sharpe tells TMZ Sports he's absolutely fired up for Deion Sanders and his Buffaloes, saying he hasn't seen something more popular in Colorado since weed was legalized there!!!

We got the NFL legend out at LAX just days after Coach Prime's squad shocked TCU ... and he told us he's pumped to see what's going down in the state he called home for more than a decade during his playing days.

"I haven't heard people talk about Colorado so much since weed was legalized," the 55-year-old said.

"I'm excited for him, I'm excited for the program," Sharpe continued. "Obviously, everybody knows I spent 12 years in Colorado so I'm excited for Time and what he's bringing to the table."

Sharpe and Deion have a long history together ... they battled on NFL fields for years -- and in retirement, they've become super close. In fact, this past offseason, the two sat down together for a podcast ... where they exchanged plenty of jokes and laughs.

All that being said, though, Sharpe still isn't sure the Buffs are quite ready to be considered a national championship contender just yet.

"I think they're a couple of years away from that," he said, "but I'm excited for what they're doing right now."

Gisele Bündchen is expanding her real estate portfolio, plunking down 7 figures for a sprawling Florida property with a soccer field and an equestrian ring ... and her jiu-jitsu pal Joaquim Valente's sister-in-law helped close the deal.

According to real estate records, the supermodel dropped $9.1 million on the 9-bedroom estate in Southwest Ranches, an affluent area about 30 miles northwest of Miami.

Gisele's new property is 5,183 square feet of pure luxury ... and some of the highlights include a full-size soccer field, infinity pool, hot tub, tennis courts and plenty of space to ride horses.

The grounds feature a state-of-the-art equestrian rink, with 10 large horse stalls. Remember, Gisele is big into horse riding, and so are her kids with ex-husband Tom Brady. She's also gone horseback riding with Joaquim in Costa Rica.

The property sits on 7.5 acres and there's an outdoor kitchen with a hibachi grill, pizza oven, BBQ pit and a wine fridge.

Inside, the first-floor master suite includes a private sitting area, bathroom and a walk-in closet ... and there's a floating glass staircase leading to the rest of the home. The gourmet kitchen has quartz countertops imported from Italy, plus an oversized island with a breakfast bar.

Gisele also owns another home in South Florida, an $11.5 million mansion in Miami Beach ... right across the water from where Tom's building his new place.

Chad Bishop and Saddy Abaunza Delgado with ONE Sotheby's International Realty repped the seller ... and Gisele was repped by Laura Valente with Global Luxury Realty LLC.

Gisele and Joaquim haven't confirmed their rumored relationship ... but they're often seen together, and he picked her up from the airport at the crack of dawn.

Gisele Bündchen está ampliando su cartera de bienes raíces, desembolsando 7 cifras para una propiedad en expansión en Florida, con un campo de fútbol y un anillo ecuestre, y la hermana de su amigo Joaquim Valente, el instructor de jiu-jitsu ayudó a cerrar el trato.

Según los registros inmobiliarios, la supermodelo desembolsó 9,1 millones de dólares por la propiedad de nueve dormitorios en Southwest Ranches, una zona acomodada a unos 50 kilómetros al noroeste de Miami.

La nueva propiedad de Gisele tiene 5.183 pies cuadrados de puro lujo, y algunos de los aspectos más destacados incluyen un campo de fútbol de tamaño completo, una piscina infinita, jacuzzi, pistas de tenis y un montón de espacio para montar a caballo.

Los terrenos cuentan con una pista ecuestre de última generación, con 10 grandes establos para caballos. Hay que recordar que Gisele es una gran aficionada a la equitación, al igual que sus hijos con su ex marido Tom Brady. También ha montado a caballo con Joaquim en Costa Rica.

La propiedad ocupa 2,5 hectáreas y tiene una cocina exterior con parrilla hibachi, horno de pizza, barbacoa y nevera para vinos.

En el interior, la suite principal del primer piso incluye una sala de estar privada, cuarto de baño y un vestidor y hay una escalera de cristal flotante que conduce al resto de la casa. La cocina gourmet tiene encimeras de cuarzo importadas de Italia, además de una gran isla con barra de desayuno.

Gisele también posee una casa al sur de Florida: una mansión de 11,5 millones de dólares en Miami Beach, justo enfrente de donde Tom está construyendo su nueva casa.

Chad Bishop y Saddy Abaunza Delgado junto con ONE Sotheby's International Realty representaron al vendedor, y Gisele fue representada por Laura Valente con Global Luxury Realty LLC.

Gisele y Joaquim no han confirmado su rumoreada relación, pero a menudo se les ve juntos. Además que fue él quien la recogió en el aeropuerto al amanecer.
