NFL

Chris Long dice que los haters de jugar haciendo "Tush Push" deberían calmarse. Le dijo a TMZ Sports que si los equipos tienen un problema con él, simplemente deben aprender a detenerlo.

El "Empujón Fraternal" se ha convertido en uno de los temas más polarizantes en la NFL este año, luego de que los Philadelphia Eagles han encontrado una manera de convertir la en una máquina de anotar.

Algunos han argumentado que es injusto, mientras que otros han dicho que es complicado, aburrido, e incluso peligroso y la NFL tiene que prohibirlo.

Pero Long —quien ganó un Super Bowl con los Eagles en 2018— dijo que la liga no debería hacer tal cosa, explicando que cree que los detractores de la jugada solo tienen envidia de los Birds.

"Los Eagles ejecutándola se ve totalmente diferente a los Niners ejecutándola o algún otro equipo", dijo la selección de primera ronda de 2008. "Y creo que la gente está enfadada con Philly. No le gustamos a nadie, pero no nos importa".

Long nos dice que los equipos no deben mirar a Roger Goodell para arreglar sus problemas con el juego y en su lugar, solo deben "reclutar tipos más grandes". O, mejor aún, ¡que simplemente eviten las jugadas de tercer y cuarto down-and-short contra Philly por completo!

Chris Long says "Tush Push" play haters need to kick rocks ... telling TMZ Sports if teams have such a problem with it, they should simply learn how to stop it.

The "Brotherly Shove" has become one of the most polarizing issues in the NFL this year ... after the Philadelphia Eagles have found a way to turn the ugly QB sneak into a first-down-making machine.

Some have argued it's unfair, while others have said it's so convoluted, boring, and even dangerous -- the NFL needs to ban it.

But Long -- who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2018 -- said the league should do no such thing ... explaining he believes the play's detractors are just envious of the Birds.

"The Eagles running it looks totally different than the Niners running it or some other team," the 2008 first-round pick said. "And I think people are just mad at Philly. No one likes us, we don't care."

Long tells us teams shouldn't look to Roger Goodell to fix their problems with the play ... and instead, they should just "draft bigger guys." Or, better yet, he said just avoid third- and fourth-down-and-short plays against Philly altogether!!!

LeBron James pulled out all the stops for his first fashion statement of the 2023-24 season ... rocking over $28,000 worth of Louis Vuitton for opening night!!

King James -- who is entering his 21st season -- clearly wanted to come up with a special look for the Los Angeles Lakers opening game against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena ... and he certainly didn't disappoint.

The 19-time All-Star forward is covered in Louis V ... from the $5k damoflage tweed chic collarless jacket and $1,250 pants to the $1,220 LV checker derby kicks.

He didn't stop there -- the Speedy Bandouliere 40 he's holding comes with an $11k price tag, and the briefcase will set the Average Joe back another $9,500.

So yeah, Bron's whole look is fit for a king.

BTW, some of those pieces LBJ is wearing are from Pharrell's men's Spring-Summer 2024 collection. The famous producer/rapper became the high-end brand's new men's creative director in February ... and debuted his items in Paris this summer.

James wasn't the only player showing up in style on Tuesday -- Michael Porter Jr. wore a signed Peyton Manning Broncos jersey ... and Peyton Watson was reppin' Deion Sanders with his own autographed "Coach Prime" gear.

High flyer Aaron Gordon also put his interesting taste on display ... going with a sleeveless burgundy blazer and shorts.

As for James' look ... anyone who wants to get their hands on the same items will have to wait just a bit -- pre-order sales start the first week of December.

LeBron James no escatimó esfuerzos para hacer su primera declaración de moda de la temporada 2023-24, luciendo más de $ 28.000 de Louis Vuitton para la noche de apertura.

King James, que está jugando su 21ª temporada, claramente quería llegar con un look especial para el partido inaugural de Los Angeles Lakers contra los Denver Nuggets en el Ball Arena, y ciertamente no decepcionó.

El delantero y 19 veces All-Star llegó cubierto de Louis V, desde la elegante chaqueta tweed de $5k sin cuello hasta los pantalaones de $1.250 pantalones y los zapatos de $1.220.

Y eso no fue todo, el Speedy Bandouliere 40 que está sosteniendo viene con una etiqueta de $11k y el maletín de otros $9.500.

Así que sí, el look de Bron es digno de un rey.

Por cierto, algunas de las piezas que lleva LeBron James corresponden a la colección masculina primavera-verano 2024 de Pharrell. El famoso productor y rapero se convirtió en el nuevo director creativo masculino de la marca de alta gama en febrero, y debutó con sus artículos en París este verano.

James no fue el único jugador que apareció con estilo este martes, Michael Porter Jr. llevaba una camiseta firmada Peyton Manning de los Broncos y Peyton Watson anduvo de representante de Deion Sanders con su propio atuendo autografiado de "Coach Prime".

Aaron Gordon también puso su interesante gusto en escena. El jugador usó un blazer sin mangas de color burdeos y pantalones cortos.

En cuanto al outfit de James, cualquiera quisiera tener esos mismos artículos en sus manos, pero tendremos que esperar un poco porque la pre-orden de venta comienza la primera semana de diciembre.

The Detroit Lions just released Marvin Jones Jr. ... shortly after the receiver announced he was stepping away from the team to focus on "personal family matters."

The 33-year-old posted a statement on Instagram Tuesday afternoon ... days after Jones Jr. failed to travel with the Lions to the Ravens game in Baltimore.

"To be brief, I am stepping away from the team to take care of personal family matters," Jones Jr. said. "Although this was no easy decision, I cannot be the person/player that I need to be for this team as well as tend to my family from afar."

"This organization has been amazing showing love and support for myself and my family over the years and this time is no different."

Shortly after, the Lions released their own statement announcing the roster move online, stating Jones Jr. was released.

Despite being thoroughly dominated by the Ravens on Sunday, the 5-2 Lions are currently leading the NFC North ... and although Jones Jr. will no longer be on the field, he's vowed to continue supporting his squad.

New Orleans Saints superstar Chris Olave seemed to be looking for a cop to cut him some slack during his arrest on Monday by name-dropping his NFL employer ... but police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows law enforcement very clearly did not care.

The footage was captured on a Kenner Police Dept. officer's body camera at around 9 PM in Louisiana ... after cops claimed they clocked Olave going 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in his Dodge Charger.

In the footage, you can see just after they pulled Olave over ... he seemed to show remorse for the way he was driving -- saying, "That's on me. I was just trying to get home."

But, seconds later, after a cop told him he was being put under arrest over it all ... he appeared to try to get some leeway by telling the officer his occupation.

"My bad, dawg," Olave said ... before adding, "I play for the Saints, man."

The officer, though, obviously didn't find that relevant at all ... responding, "And?"

Olave then handed over some of his possessions to cops so they could transfer them to his dad ... before he was hauled off to jail.

A Kenner Police Dept. spokesperson said Tuesday that Olave was booked on a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle ... before he was released at 11:30 PM.

Police noted it was the second recent speeding ticket for Olave, who was busted for allegedly doing 54 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in August.

The Saints told media members Monday they were aware of the situation, but did not have a comment. Olave's brother, meanwhile, wrote on his X page following the incident, "Bro was on the way back to the crib from CVS... aint nun serious."

12:55 PM PT -- Court records show Justyn Ross is facing two charges following his arrest -- domestic battery with no priors as well as criminal damage of less than $1,000.

He is, however, scheduled to be released later Tuesday on $2,500 bond after he appeared in court via Zoom and pleaded not guilty to the charges. He's due back in court for another hearing in the case in early December.

Police also released Ross' mug shot to TMZ Sports just minutes ago.

10:02 AM PT -- According to dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ Sports, the alleged victim told a 911 operator Ross was "dragging her through the house and has torn up the house."

The woman -- who called from a neighbor's phone after the NFLer allegedly broke her cell -- noted Ross had a firearm in the residence, but did not have it on him at the time.

NFL wide receiver Justyn Ross -- one of Patrick Mahomes' targets on the Chiefs -- was arrested in Kansas on Monday, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Jail records show the 23-year-old was booked on a charge of criminal damage of greater than $25,000 ... and as of Tuesday morning, he remained in custody.

Court records show he's due to face a judge later Tuesday afternoon.

Further details surrounding the arrest were not made immediately available.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, told media outlets Monday they were aware of the arrest, but had no comment on it.

Ross joined Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2022 -- though he did not play in his rookie season due to injuries. This year, he's logged time in all of the Chiefs' seven games -- recording three catches for 34 yards.

La superestrella de los New Orleans Saints Chris Olave, fue esposado este lunes. Intentó convencer a los oficiales de que lo dejaran libre pero no tuvo éxito.

Las imágenes fueron capturadas en un oficial de policía de Kenner al rededor a las 9 PM en Louisiana, después de que los policías afirmaron que Olave iba a 70 MPH en una zona de 35 MPH en su Dodge Charger.

En las imágenes, se puede ver que Olave parecía mostrar remordimiento por la forma en que estaba conduciendo, diciendo: "Este no soy yo. Solo estaba tratando de llegar a casa".

Pero, segundos más tarde, después de que un policía le dijo que estaba siendo puesto bajo arresto, trató de conseguir un poco de ayuda al decirle al oficial de su ocupación.

"Culpa mía", dijo Olave, antes de añadir: "Juego para los Saints".

El oficial, sin embargo, no encontró que esa información sea relevante en absoluto... respondiendo: "¿Y?"

Olave luego entregó algunas de sus posesiones a los policías para que pudieran transferirlos a su padre antes de ser llevado a la cárcel.

Un portavoz del Departamento de Policía de Kenner dijo el martes que Olave fue fichado por un cargo de conducción temeraria de un vehículo de motor, antes de ser puesto en libertad a las 11:30 PM.

La policía señaló que era la segunda multa por exceso de velocidad qu a tenido Olave últimamente, quien fue arrestado por supuestamente ir a 54 MPH en una zona de 35 MPH en agosto.

Los Saints le dijeron el lunes a los medios de comunicación que estaban al tanto de la situación, pero no hicieron ningún comentario. El hermano de Olave, por su parte, escribió en su página de X tras el incidente: "Hermano, iba de regreso a casa desde CVS... nada serio".

New Orleans Saints superstar Chris Olave was arrested on Monday, TMZ Sports has confirmed, after he allegedly drove like a maniac on a street in Louisiana.

According to the Kenner Police Dept., the 23-year-old wide receiver was thrown behind bars after 9 PM. ... and released at 11:30 PM.

A spokesperson for the Kenner Police Dept. said in a statement ... Olave was booked on a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle after officers say he was going 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in a mixed business/residential area where citizens had complained of people speeding.

In his Dodge Charger, Olave was allegedly "recklessly maneuvering between lanes and around other drivers on the roadway" in addition to traveling at a high rate of speed, according to cops.

Chris' brother, Josh Olave, appeared to comment on the incident in a tweet late Monday night ... writing, "Bro was on the way back to the crib from CVS... aint nun serious."

Chris and the Saints did not play over the weekend after they lost to the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football last week. They're slated to take on the Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Jason Kelce clearly thinks Travis Kelce is getting smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying Sunday night his brother sure seems "excited" and "genuine" about the relationship.

The Eagles star told Peter King following the Eagles' win over the Dolphins in Philadelphia, however, that he is at least a little concerned about the level of attention the two new lovebirds are getting.

"On one hand, I'm happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he's excited about, that he is genuine about," Jason said. "But there's another end of it where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot.'"

Jason -- who added that he's "really, really happy" for his brother's "current situation" -- appeared to be particularly worried about the paps who have been following the duo's every move since they went public with their relationship in Kansas City last month.

"There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'" Jason said. "This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with."

Jason, though, seemed to believe his brother could handle it all ... as long as the safety of his friends and family isn't threatened.

Taylor Swift planted one on Travis Kelce this weekend -- the first time we've seen her pucker up to her boyfriend in public ... though it's still very PG-13.

The singer was photographed after the game Sunday next to her man, posing with Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and his girlfriend, Chariah Gordon. In one of the shots, you can see TayTay kissing Travis on the cheek, with her hand on his chest.

Like we said, this marks the debut of any kind of affection at this level -- thus far, we've only seen them hold hands in public ... so, it would seem their PDA is growing by the day.

TBH, this is a side of Taylor we haven't really seen until now. Before getting with Travis, she's tended to be quite private and away from the spotlight as it relates to her significant others ... particularly while she was dating Joe Alwyn. They were practically in the shadows.

Now, however, Taylor seems to be embracing the public nature of this relationship ... and she's loving it. Not only have we seen her express herself at games full throttle, but even when it comes to stuff like this -- it doesn't seem like she and Trav are all that shy.

As for TK ... he, too, seems ready for all the scrutiny -- something that undoubtedly comes with the territory of what he does professionally. If anything, this attention is nothing new.

Gotta say, the more we see of these two ... the more it feels like they could have real legs as a couple. Their lives are certainly blending at a fast rate -- and the people are all about it.

The NFL was quick to punish Kareem Jackson for his hit on Musgrave ... suspending him four games for "violations of unnecessary roughness rules" against the Packers.

In a letter to Jackson, the NFL's VP of football operations Jon Runyan explained the decision ... saying, "On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact."

"You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to."

Runyan also pointed out it wasn't Jackson's first offense ... as he was hit with several personal fouls for violating player safety-related rules.

Jackson can appeal ... but as it stands right now, he is slated to miss the Broncos' matchup against Kansas City, Buffalo, Minnesota and Cleveland.

Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson received a racist message following his ejection from the Packers game Sunday ... and he was so angry with the comment, he called out the sender publicly.

The DM was sent to Jackson's Instagram account just after he was booted from Denver's 19-17 win over Green Bay for illegally hitting Luke Musgrave in the head and neck area.

The message, apparently sent from a man named Philipp, read, "Stop behaving like a f***ing n** 🤡"

Minutes later, the 35-year-old safety -- who was actually ejected from the Broncos vs. Commanders game earlier this season as well -- reposted the message ... and was clearly fuming over its content.

"I wanna make sure you get the attention you're looking for," Jackson said. "I want your friends and family to know what type of racist person you really are over a game."

"I'll repost all this week so it doesn't go unnoticed. Don't worry, IG tough guy."

Jackson later revealed he got another inappropriate message on the app ... one he was also furious about.

"Another IG tough guy," Jackson wrote after reposting the DM to his 120,000 followers. "This what we deal wit because we are athletes on a regular. Disgruntled fans that hide behind social media knowing it wouldn't end well in person. Enjoy this fame Daniel."

This is the second time a high-profile player has called out fans for their messages on Instagram this season ... earlier this year, Vikings star Alexander Mattison said he got over 60 hate notes from fans, with some including the N-word.

Taylor Swift le dio un beso a Travis Kelce este fin de semana y es la primera vez que la vemos hacer algo así en público.

La cantante fue fotografiada después del partido del domingo junto a su hombre, posando con el receptor de los Chiefs Mecole Hardman Jr. y su novia, Chariah Gordon. En una de las fotos, se puede ver a TayTay besando a Travis en la mejilla y con su mano en el pecho.

Como dijimos, esto marca el debut de cualquier tipo de afecto a este nivel —hasta ahora—, ya que solo los habíamos visto tomados de la mano en público. Así que podemos decir que el amor está creciendo.

Este es un lado de Taylor que realmente no habíamos visto hasta ahora. Antes de salir con Travis, ella tendía a ser bastante privada y alejada de los focos en lo que se refiere a sus parejas, sobre todo mientras salía con Joe Alwyn. Estaban prácticamente en las sombras.

Ahora, sin embargo, Taylor parece estar abrazando la naturaleza pública de esta relación. No solo la hemos visto expresarse en los juegos, además tiene apariciones como esta en la que se le puede ver muy cómoda con toda la situación.

En cuanto a Travis... él también parece estar listo para estar en el ojo públuco, por su trabajo y prontuario sabemos que podrá manejarlo.

Hay que decir que cuanto más vemos de estos dos ... más se siente como que podrían tener piernas reales como pareja. Sus vidas se están mezclando a un ritmo rápido - y la gente está de acuerdo.

Nick Bosa sin duda está poniendo de su parte para llamar la atención sobre SKIMS este lunes por la mañana, despegando como trending topic en menos de una hora después del lanzamiento de la nueva campaña de la compañía.

Tenemos más fotos de la estrella de los San Francisco 49ers usando la marca. Aparece  posando en ropa interior sin camisa y en otras mostrando algunas de las camisetas de SKIMS.

Como ocurre con casi todo lo que Kim Kardashian y su equipo sacan al mercado, las redes sociales no tardaron en notarlo, disparando a Nick en las tendencias de Tuiter, alcanzando el puesto #16 en general, mientras SKIMS alcanzaba el #9 en la lista de tendencias.

Los comentarios también fueron excelentes: "Se me hace agua la boca" "VOY A COMPRAR......" "OH KIM SABES LO QUE HACES", "ella sabía que tenía que alimentar a los gays también" y "sí sí sí sí y más sí".

Por supuesto, Nick no es el único en la primera campaña masculina, el icono del fútbol internacional Neymar Jr. y la estrella de Los Angeles Clippers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander también posaron en SKIMS.

Nick Bosa is certainly doing his part to bring attention to SKIMS and his other assets this Monday morning ... taking off as a trending topic less than an hour after the company's new campaign launched.

We've got more new photos from the San Francisco 49ers' star's shoot wearing the brand -- posing for shirtless underwear pics and showing off some of SKIMS tees and tanks.

As with just about everything Kim Kardashian and team push out ... social media was quick to notice, shooting Nick up the Twitter trends, hitting spot #16 overall as SKIMS reached #9 on the trend list.

The comments were also good as gold ... including, "the way my mouth just watered????" "I WILL BE BUYING......" "OH KIM YOU KNOW WHAT UR DOING," "she knew she had to feed the gays too" and "yes yes yes yes yes and more yes."

Of course, Nick's not the only one in the first-ever men's campaign ... international soccer icon Neymar Jr. and Los Angeles Clippers star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also posed in SKIMS.

La compañía de Kim Kardashian shapewear está lanzando una línea para hombres, y la mujer de negocios trajo a uno de los atletas más famosos e influyentes en el mundo para promover la marca... Neymar Jr.

La compañía multimillonaria de Kardashian está entrando en la moda masculina, y Kim quería a un atleta de alto nivel para promover Skims Mens y consiguió a la estrella brasilera de fútbol internacional de 31 años de edad que actualmente juega para Al Hilal en Arabia Saudita.

Además de Neymar, Skims también fichó para la campaña a la estrella de los 49ers Nick Bosa y a la estrella de los OKC Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

"Tener a un icono como Neymar Jr como imagen de nuestra campaña de lanzamiento, junto con el All-Star de la NBA, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander y el mejor jugador defensivo de la NFL, Nick Bosa, creo que dice mucho de la forma en que SKIMS ha evolucionado para convertirse en una marca que puede proporcionar comodidad a todos los públicos, no solo a las mujeres", dijo Kardashian sobre el fichaje de los tres deportistas de élite.
