NFL

Taylor Swift is becoming quite the trendsetter for football game attire ... 'cause the denim shorts she wore at Travis Kelce's latest football game are already sold out online.

As you know, Taylor was in a celeb-packed box at MetLife Stadium Sunday night in New Jersey ... wearing a pair of logo-lettering denim shorts by fashion label AREA.

The jorts were being sold on Farfetch for a whopping $1,213 but were 50% off the night of the game -- but it's all sold out as of Monday morning.

Shouldn't come as a total shock ... millions had their eyes on Taylor during the Chiefs vs. Jets game, with NBC's 'SNF' leaning hard on her viral craze that went down just a week before, and cutting to her a lot throughout the game.

This isn't the only Swift/Kelce clothing choice to run out -- as we reported, a fashion line added "1989" to the name of the jacket Travis wore last week when he was spotted walking out with Taylor, a reference to one of her albums.

That one sold out incredibly fast, too ... so it looks like the 2 will be picking their outfits wisely from now on -- either that, or brands will be reaching out like crazy to get them to put on their threads!

Do you think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will last long term? Vote below.

5:26 PM PT -- Taylor Swift was just officially introduced to start the broadcast, and it looks like her box is completely packed -- as she hugs and kisses friends, and hob-nobs with celebs.

No sign of Donna Kelce just yet, but she's almost certainly in the mix as well.

And yes, NBC is fully leaning in to Taylor-mania -- they just did this whole Carson Daly intro recapping the viral frenzy ... and they made a lot of Swift-y song references along the way. Last but not least ... Aaron Rodgers is also in the house -- this just a few weeks after tearing his Achilles and undergoing surgery. The dude is here to root on his underdog team.

It's game time!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance is going strong -- so much so that she popped into another football stadium to cheer him on ... this time with some famous pals in tow.

The pop star is again the guest of honor Sunday during NBC's 'SNF' broadcast of the Chiefs vs. Jets game -- in which her rumored tight end BF is obviously playing. Taylor showed up and slipped in through a back area, but got caught on camera entering the building.

This time around, TayTay had some A-list company ... including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, among others. She's expected to be in a luxury suite near the field, and word is ... she'll be joined by Travis's mom, Donna Kelce -- like last week.

As for TS's entourage -- Blake makes sense ... they're best buds, and they were just out and about yesterday together in the Big Apple -- not to mention a starry dinner alongside some other famous ladies, like Sophie Turner and even Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.

Hugh's not all that random either -- he's good friends with Blake's hubby, and they're in this new obscure movie that's coming out next year -- something called 'Deadpool 3,' apparently.

Anyway ... Taylor's appearance is no surprise -- we'd been hearing all week that she'd be here, and they were telegraphing as much by being within a stone's throw of each other earlier this weekend.

We'll see how much of Taylor gets shown throughout the broadcast. FOX kept it mostly focused on the game last week -- but seeing how much of a rating bonanza her mere presence turned out to be ... ya gotta figure NBC will cut to her at least a few times today.

If today/tonight turns out to be as eventful as last week's Kansas City outing ... we're in for a whole lot of news. Travis and Taylor were all anyone talked about -- and now that they're showing PDA in public, it's safe to assume we might see even more of it in the near future.

Some might've thought this was all BS at first, but it's sure looking more real by the day. There were reports that Travis even swung by Taylor's NYC apartment before the game -- so yeah, he's been in her quarters now ... and all signs point to this being an intimate thing.

With Swifties and NFL'ers all flocking for the show ... it's a classic case of worlds colliding.

Trayvis is officially on ... and kickoff is just minutes away!!!

Yeah, Damian Lillard and Antonio Brown might have some dope music, but Shaq tells TMZ Sports he's the G.O.A.T when it comes to athletes who rap ... and he's been that guy since the 1990s!

For those who don't remember, Shaq made four rap albums during his Hall of Fame NBA career, with the first one, "Shaq Diesel," coming out in 1993.

He hasn't stopped making music in retirement either ... the 51-year-old actually just jumped on a track with L.A.-based group Coyote -- and he tells us he's got much more on the way too.

"I got a couple of freestyles," O'Neal said. "It's all competition for me, so when I hear other people that say, 'I'm a better athlete-rapper than Shaq,' I gotta step up."

"Nothing personal. I just have to let these people know who paved the way."

Some of the athletes makin' waves in the rap game include Lillard, who's been considered by fans to be one of the best, lyrically, in any sport.

There's also Brown, who's made catchy tracks like "Put That Sh** On" ... as well as former NBA star Iman Shumpert.

But, while O'Neal (who we recently talked to about his huge upcoming charity event) was very complimentary of the guys' talents on the mic, he says he's still the greatest of all time.

"I put stuff out, they put stuff out and we let the people decide who the number one is," O'Neal said.

"I know who the number one is. I'ma always say myself is number one, but they got a lot of the guys out there that are coming."

La NFL se puso animada este fin de semana, ya que la liga se asoció con nada menos que Disney para transmitir una versión simultánea de un juego en el que todos fueron reimaginados como juguetes.

Nos referimos al enfrentamiento entre los Jags y los Falcons en Londres, el cual comenzó muy temprano. Disney y ESPN estaban preparando una espectacular sorpresa relacionada con "Toy Story". Tan pronto como comenzó el juego, su propia transmisión animada comenzó en vivo.

Es exactamente como suena, básicamente, mientras el juego real se desarrollaba en la pantalla; otra parte de la pantalla mostraba lo mismo pero en el universo de Disney, donde se podía ver a todos los jugadores convertidos en juguetes.

La transmisión de "Toy Story" no estuvo en la pantalla principal todo el tiempo, al parecer la alternaban en diferentes momentos del partido, como en las repeticiones y momentos destacados, etc.

Fue bastante impresionante verlo, y las reacciones en línea ciertamente lo reflejaron. La gente quedó bastante cautivada por la tecnología, sin mencionar a todos los demás personajes de "Toy Story" incorporados en el fondo y en las líneas laterales.

Dicho esto, la nueva característica no estuvo libre de problemas; hubo momentos en los que "Toy Story" se trababa o no regresaba a la acción a tiempo, lo que molestó a algunos.

Aun así, hubo más cosas positivas que negativas y considerando cuánto se habló del tema de "Toy Story", casi se puede garantizar que la NFL intentará hacerlo de nuevo en un futuro cercano.

Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que la liga hace algo así, en el pasado se asociaron con Nickelodeon y superpusieron imágenes de realidad aumentada en partes del juego, incluyendo momentos "slime" después de los touchdowns.

The NFL got animated this weekend -- the shield teamed up with none other than Disney to broadcast a simultaneous version of a game that saw everybody reimagined as a toy.

Of course, we're referring to the Jags facing off against the Falcons in London ... the kickoff for which was super early. That doesn't mean Disney/ESPN wasn't ready with their big "Toy Story" skin, though -- as soon as the game started, their own cartoon stream was live.

It's exactly how it sounds ... basically, while the real game was playing out on everyone's TV, a different part of the screen was showing Disney's carbon copy universe -- where all the players were turned into toys and their on-field play was translating moment-for-moment.

The "Toy Story" stream wasn't on the main screen the entire time -- it sounds like they cut away to it during different parts of the match ... including replays/highlights, etc.

It was pretty cool to see, and the reactions online certainly reflected that ... as people were somewhat mesmerized by the technology -- not to mention all the other "Toy Story" characters being incorporated into the background and on the sidelines.

With that said, the new feature wasn't without its issues -- there were moments when the "Toy Story" would glitch up and/or not cut back to the main action in time ... and it PO'd some.

Still, it was way more good than bad ... and considering how much the "Toy Story" stuff got talked about, you can almost guarantee the NFL will try doing this again in the near future.

BTW, this isn't the first time the league has done something like this ... they've partnered with Nickelodeon in the past and had AR visuals superimposed over portions of the game -- including "slime" moments after touchdowns.

Taylor Swift se prepara para animar a Travis Kelce por segunda semana consecutiva, pero no sin antes cenar con algunas amigas famosas. La vimos con Sophie Turner, Brittany Mahomes, y Blake Lively.

Taylor y las chicas fueron a un lugar italiano, Emilio's Ballato en Nueva York, el sábado por la noche. Llegaron con Blake y más tarde se unieron a Sophie y Mahomes, con quien recientemente se familiarizó el pasado fin de semana después de la victoria de Kansas City en casa.

Taylor ha estado pasando mucho tiempo con Sophie los últimos tiempos, incluso se puso de su lado en una batalla con Joe Jonas, respecto a la custodia y el divorcio.

Blake es amigo de Taylor desde hace mucho tiempo, pero Mahomes es sin duda una nueva incorporación al "girl squad".

TMZ publicó la historia. Taylor y Brittany se llevaron bien en la fiesta de Travis Kelce el fin de semana pasado, charlando un montón e incluso se tomaron una foto juntas. También fuimos los primeros en obtener una foto de Taylor y Travis estando bastante cómodos en la fiesta (ella envolvió sus brazos alrededor de la superestrella de la NFL).

Travis y sus Kansas City Chiefs se enfrentarán a los Jets de Nueva York el domingo por la noche y fuentes nos dicen que Taylor estará presente.

Kim Kardashian y Tom Brady compartieron un divertido momento mientras hacían ofertas por una obra de arte muy cara ¡¡incluso coquetearon un poco!!

Según un testigo, Kim y Tom se presentaron a pujar por una pintura de George Condo en la Caridad de la Alianza de Reforma en Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey, el sábado por la noche

Nos dicen que Kim inició la puja en $500K y luego Tom hizo una oferta más alta antes de que entraran en una batalla campal.

Durante sus idas y venidas las celebridades se reían y se miraban, haciéndolo todo "superdivertido y coqueto", según dice nuestra fuente.

Cuando la puja alcanzó los 2 millones de dólares, los anfitriones del evento intervinieron y decidieron que ambos recibirían su propio cuadro de George Condo.

Cada uno pagó $2 millones por sus lienzos. Algo habitual en la vida de Kim y Tom.

Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady shared a fun-filled moment while bidding on a very pricey piece of art -- and the two even got a bit flirty!!

According to eyewitnesses... Kim and Tom showed up to bid on a George Condo painting at the Reform Alliance Charity in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Saturday night.

We're told Kim kicked off the bidding at $500K, and then Tom put in a higher bid before they got into a full-on bidding war.

During their back and forth, the celebs giggled and kept looking at each other, and it was all "super fun and flirty," our sources tell us.

When the bid reached $2 million, the event hosts stepped in and decided both would receive their own George Condo painting.

But there was a caveat ... Kim and Tom each had to pay $2 million for their canvases, which for them is just chump change.

Tom Brady gave hundreds of kids a day to remember Saturday, by not only hitting up a sports trading card event but also getting in on the action!

Brady was the surprise guest at the Fanatics and Topps Hobby Rip Night in Linwood, New Jersey.

There were some big stars front and center, including Travis Scott, Kevin Hart, who hosted the event, and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.

Fanatics is the biggest sports merchandizer in the game.

The Linwood store has a capacity of 100, but so many people showed hundreds more descended onto the parking lot.

Brady was all in, trading cards with fans and the kids went nuts. Fact is ... Brady owns tons of football cards.

Taylor Swift's gearing up to root on Travis Kelce for the second week in a row, but not before grabbing dinner with some famous gal pals ... stepping out with Sophie Turner, Brittany Mahomes, and Blake Lively.

Taylor and crew hit Italian hotspot Emilio's Ballato in NYC Saturday night -- arriving with Blake and later joined by Sophie and Mahomes ... who she recently got acquainted with last weekend following Kansas City's win at home.

Of course, Taylor's been spending a lot of time with Sophie as of late, noticeably taking her side in a battle with Joe Jonas as they fight for custody and issues surrounding their divorce.

Blake's a longtime friend of Taylor, but Mahomes is certainly a new addition to the girl squad.

TMZ broke the story ... Taylor and Brittany hit it off at Travis Kelce's afterparty in KC last weekend, chatting a bunch and at one time taking a shot together. We were also first to obtain a photo of Taylor and Travis looking rather comfortable at the bash ... as she wrapped her arms around the NFL superstar.

Travis and his Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on The New York Jets Sunday night, and sources tell us Taylor will be in attendance.

Tom Brady hizo que cientos de niños pasaran un día inolvidable el sábado, no solo asistiendo a un evento de tarjetas coleccionables, sino también participando en todo momento.

Brady fue el invitado sorpresa en el Fanatics y Topps Hobby Rip Night en Linwood, Nueva Jersey.

Hubo algunas grandes estrellas, incluyendo a Travis Scott, Kevin Hart (quien fue el anfitrión del evento) y el CEO de Fanatics Michael Rubin.

Fanatics es el mayor merchandiser de deportes en el negocio.

La tienda de Linwood tiene una capacidad para 100 personas, pero mucha más gente apareció en el estacionamiento.

Brady fue el centro de atención. Le regaló tarjetas con los fans y los niños se volvieron locos. El hecho es que Brady posee toneladas de tarjetas de fútbol.

Before Dion Lewis was hauled off to jail last week, he allegedly called cops "p***ies" and threatened to spit on an officer -- this according to new court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports.

In the docs, Seminole Police Dept. officers say they were called out to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa in Florida at around 2 PM on Sept. 18 after venue security claimed Lewis was being "unruly."

Cops say the former New England Patriots running back was told he had to leave the property ... and was escorted out to valet where authorities said they allowed him to either cab it or Uber it away from the premises without further repercussions.

But, according to the docs, "Lewis became belligerent in front of other casino patrons, calling officers 'p***ies,' and advising he was not leaving property because he did nothing wrong."

He then allegedly said he'd spit in a sergeant's face "if he touched him."

Lewis was taken to a nearby jail a short time later ... and ultimately charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

His attorney submitted a not guilty plea on the former tailback's behalf earlier this week. He's now due back in court next month.

Antes de que Dion Lewis fuera llevado a la cárcel la semana pasada, supuestamente insultó a los policías y amenazó con escupir a uno de ellos, de acuerdo a nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ Sports.

En los documentos, los oficiales del Departamento de Policía de Seminole dicen que fueron llamados al Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa en Florida alrededor de las 2 PM el 18 de septiembre, después de que la seguridad del lugar afirmara que Lewis estaba siendo "revoltoso".

La policía dice que al ex New England Patriots se le dijo que tenía que irse de la propiedad y fue escoltado por el encargado de los estacionamientos, cuando las autoridades dicen que se le permitió pedir un Uber o un taxi afuera de las instalaciones, sin más repercusiones.

Pero según los documentos, "Lewis se volvió beligerante frente a otros clientes del casino, llamando a los oficiales 'p***ies', y advirtiendo que no iba a salir de la propiedad porque no hizo nada malo".

Luego, supuestamente, dijo que iba a escupirle en la cara a un sargento "si lo tocaba".

Lewis fue llevado a una cárcel cercana poco tiempo después, y en última instancia, acusado de un delito menor de allanamiento de morada.

Su abogado presentó una declaración de inocencia en nombre del exjugador a principios de esta semana. Deberá volver a los tribunales el próximo mes.

James Harrison says he's not a Hall of Famer, and Ryan Clark fears the Steelers legend might be right ... but he tells TMZ Sports he's hoping like hell his old teammate ends up being wrong.

Harrison admitted last week he doesn't believe his numbers are good enough to one day get a bust in Canton ... and when we spoke with Clark this week, he said he shares the same concerns as the guy he played with from 2006-2012.

"I would say he's borderline," Clark said of the ex-Pittsburgh pass rusher. "I don't know if he gets in."

Clark tells us ... he's unsure if Harrison sustained a level of excellence for long enough to sway voters -- though he did note the guy's Super Bowl wins and Defensive Player of the Year award might ultimately be enough.

"My bias says he deserves it, but I understand how it works," Clark said ... before adding, "I hope he gets in."

Harrison played in the NFL from 2002 to 2017, but he was only a full-time starter for about seven years. He logged 84.5 sacks in his career ... as well as 811 combined tackles.

The totals were good enough to earn him a place in Pittsburgh's Hall of Honor this season ... and, clearly, Clark is hoping it'll one day get him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame too.

Travis Kelce's looks over the years are (field) GOALS!

Here is a 24-year-old version of the Kansas City Chiefs' stud, sportin' some scruff and lookin' tough (pre-Taylor Swift days), while warming up to take on the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium back in 2014 (left).

And, nearly a decade later the tight end star recently appeared somber after losing to the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium (right), however he sure is winning in the dating department 😜!

Now that this pretty boy is in his T-Swift era ... fans all over are waiting to see if there's trouble when Taylor walks into tonight's game.

So, we mustache you one important question ...

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce seemed primed to run their Kansas City date back for round 2 -- 'cause they're in the same area ahead of a big game ... which she's supposed to attend.

The pop star and NFL'er surfaced separately on the East Coast Saturday -- with TS popping up in the Big Apple alongside Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ... with the trio walking through the streets of NYC looking stylish.

Just over the bridge ... Travis and some other Chiefs players, including Patrick Mahomes, were checking into their hotel in New Jersey -- which is where they'll play Sunday's game.

As we reported ... Taylor is expected to show up to MetLife Stadium to once again watch TK's big match against the Jets -- a game that'll be televised on NBC during Sunday Night Football, and which will undoubtedly garner more eyeballs than last week did.

Considering she's in town ... it's all but guaranteed we'll be watching her root from the sidelines. The question now is -- will Taylor's in-game visits become a regular thing???

We know she and Trav hit the town in KC last week ... and their gallivanting caused quite a stir in the city. In this neck of the woods, though -- that'll be amplified by at least 10 ... with tons of paparazzi crawling all over the place, not to mention adoring fans left and right.

If this does, in fact, become a tradition as these 2 explore their relationship ... you also gotta wonder if we'll see added PDA as time goes on. We already saw them cozying up during an after-party -- and now that the cat's outta the bag, perhaps more is on the horizon.

There's been some speculation this all might be a PR stunt -- but now ... it feels real.

Remember, we were told Taylor's team is still working out security logistics for MetLife ... meaning, she won't be able to just slip in all casual-like the way she did last week.

With all this in mind, it probably goes without saying -- if we happen see Taylor and Travis out and about at all this weekend ... it'll undoubtedly be another frenzy and then some.
