Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers appear to be having two entirely different weeks -- while the quarterback looked lonely and deep in thought during a stroll on the beach, his former teammate is living it up in Los Angeles!!

The Rams' newest offensive weapon was spotted hanging around his new stomping grounds with his wife and daughter on Thursday ... and we're told they got a bite to eat at Tocaya Organica.

It was a big day for the Adams gang -- as No. 17 had his introductory press conference with the Rams as well ... and just like in his media availability, he proudly rocked an L.A. hat while roaming the town.

A woman who alleged Xavier Worthy roughed her up last week has now gotten a temporary protective order against the Kansas City Chiefs star, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

A Williamson County, Texas court official tells us the woman, Tia Jones, requested the order on Wednesday -- and a judge granted it a short time later.

Jones had first accused Worthy of wrongdoing last week -- and the wide receiver was ultimately arrested over the allegations on Friday night. The 21-year-old was booked into a local jail on one charge of assaulting a family/household member while impeding breath/circulation ... but on Sunday, the district attorney's office stated it was declining the case following a further investigation into the matter.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes got some time away from the kids to celebrate their love on Wednesday ... with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar pulling out all the stops for a romantic anniversary dinner at Catch Dallas.

The high school sweethearts celebrated their third year of marriage with a candlelit evening ... which included drinks, a custom menu and white chocolate-covered strawberries.

29-year-old Brittany was clearly thrilled with the gesture ... posing in front of the over-the-top setup for Patrick's Instagram story.

Cooper Kupp's time with the Rams ended with his release on Wednesday ... but before he finds a new squad, the receiver took time to thank L.A. for the past eight years.

Kupp posted the heartfelt letter to his social media not long after the news was made official ... saying his time with the organization was filled with "incredible memories -- despite the struggle of getting fans to buy in early on."

"But we knew at the end of the day, it’s about providing moments," Kupp wrote. "Shared experiences. The things that parents and their children will talk about and remember forever.

Mark Gastineau is suing ESPN ... claiming the network did irreparable harm to his reputation when it posted an edited video of his 2023 altercation with Brett Favre.

The now-viral incident took place in November '23 at a sports show in Chicago ... when Gastineau confronted the ex-Packers star about a 2002 sack he gave up to Michael Strahan that allowed Strahan to break the New York Jets legend's single-season record.

Gastineau appeared furious with the ex-Packers signal-caller in the footage ESPN obtained ... and he could be heard in the clip telling Favre over and over again his actions during the '02 game "hurt me."

Le'Veon Bell just went on a livestream to address his rape allegations head-on ... vowing to do everything in his power to clear his name.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers superstar sat in front of the camera for more than an hour to discuss the TMZ Sports story posted on Tuesday ... and the main takeaway is that he's vehemently denying he ever forced himself on anyone in his life -- let alone his cousin.

Bell said he was completely unaware of the March 2024 lawsuit until we reached out to him last week for comment ... and believes the signature indicating he was served was actually forged.

It won't be new team, new number for Davante Adams after all ... the Rams just revealed Puka Nacua's given up his No. 17 to the newly signed Los Angeles star.

Sean McVay's squad announced Puka's number change in a video on X on Tuesday afternoon ... telling all of their fans the wide receiver will now be No. 12.

It's a familiar pair of digits for Nacua -- he wore them in high school and in college at BYU -- though given the way he set the record book on fire in the No. 17 the last two years, many wondered if he'd actually give it up to Adams.

Le'Veon Bell is vehemently denying a woman's claims he raped her for years when she was an adolescent ... with his attorney telling TMZ Sports the default judgment in the alleged victim's favor is completely "bogus."

Jada Bell said in a lawsuit filed in Franklin County, Ohio last year that she's Le'Veon's cousin ... and when she was just six or seven years old, Le'Veon began having nonconsensual, incestual relations with her.

According to the suit, Le'Veon -- who Jada says is eight years older than her -- would use "slang terms" to direct her when she was just a minor, which incestual acts he wished for her to perform upon him."

12:52 PM PT -- Odell Beckham Jr. just released a more formal statement on the matter on his X page ... claiming there is "absolutely no truth" to the new allegations made against him in Ashley Parham's amended complaint.

"I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time," he said. "In fact, I don't think I have ever even been to Orinda, CA. I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone. I'm confident that these ridiculous claims against me will be dismissed."

A woman is now alleging Odell Beckham Jr. was one of several men who raped her alongside Diddy during a violent 2018 encounter ... but the rap mogul's legal team is calling BS on the allegations -- and so is the NFL superstar, who says they're straight up "stupid."

More legal issues for the two men accused of playing a role in the mysterious deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans last year ... TMZ Sports has confirmed they've just been sued.

Court records we obtained show Jon Harrington filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson in Missouri on Friday ... just days after authorities alleged the two contributed to his son David Harrington's death by supplying him with a lethal mix of drugs at a '24 Chiefs watch party.

The lawsuit states the get-together took place on Jan. 7, 2024 ... at Willis' Platte County home.

Olivia Culpo's got a bun in the oven -- the model and Christian McCaffrey are expecting their first child together!!

The 2020 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl broke the news on Instagram Monday morning ... sharing a stunning pregnancy photo shoot with the caption, "next chapter, motherhood 🤍." She also shared a video showing off her bump in a white dress as she walked holding hands and kissing Christian.

She was recently spotted hitting a café in Encino... and her pregnant belly was visible through her jacket.

Xavier Worthy is off the hook in his domestic violence case -- no charges will be filed against him … TMZ has confirmed.

The District Attorney in Williamson County, Texas says after further investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and a discussion with a third-party witness, Xavier’s case was being declined at this time. Xavier’s attorney also confirmed the DA’s decision to TMZ. Xavier and his lawyers are fully cooperating with law enforcement.

As we reported … Xavier was arrested Friday night on suspension of domestic violence -- specifically, an assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, so seemingly choking. It's still unclear exactly what occurred ... but at the time, the charge was a third-degree felony.

Travis Kelce's playing days may be coming to an end soon, but Henry Winkler is making it clear he thinks the NFL star's acting career is just getting started ... telling TMZ Sports he loved the dude in "Grotesquerie."

We caught up with Henry out in Los Angeles this week ... and he had nothing but praise for the way Kelce played a flirty ex-stripper in his son Max Winkler's new horror drama series.

The Fonz said Kelce gave off a "warm and professional" vibe during the show, while calling the footballer's portrayal of Ed Lachlan "great."

Jaylin Lane's friends and family ain't the only ones who are going to be pumped to see him drafted into the NFL next month ... a local car dealer will be pretty pleased too -- 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he's planning to buy a new ride with his first rookie check.

The Virginia Tech wideout -- who absolutely tore up the league's combine in Indianapolis last week -- said on Friday one of his first orders of business after he gets settled into his new team will be to cop a truck.

Lane told us it won't be anything fancy -- he just simply wants his parents to stop having to pay for his current ride ... a Ford Fusion.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested in Williamson County, Texas ... and the allegation is very serious.

Xavier was arrested Friday night on suspension of domestic violence -- specifically, an assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, so apparently choking.

Law enforcement tells us he is still in Williamson County jail -- without bail as he waits to appear before a judge at some point today.

It's not yet clear exactly what occurred ... but the charge is a third degree felony.

Don't be mad if Robert Griffin III does R-G-3 takes when looking at his wife this week ... the two are currently in the tropics on vacation -- and her body's STUNNING.

Check out some pics Grete Griffin shared on her Instagram page on Friday morning ... the mother of three looks amazing.

In a tiny black bikini, Grete put her abs on full display, showing no matter what the angle is -- whether it's in the sand, soaked in ocean water, or on a boat -- she's as hot as ever.
