Randy Moss will be back in his seat on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown Show" this season ... after he was forced to take time off-air in 2024 due to his cancer battle.

The network confirmed the news to The Athletic ... saying in a statement getting word that the Freak will be on set come Week 1 "has been the highlight of the offseason."

Moss revealed he was dealing with some sort of health issue in December. He didn't disclose more information at the time, only that it was internal.

Travis Kelce is opening up on what it's like to date the most famous singer on the planet ... saying the craziest part is folks watching his every move -- meaning he can no longer relieve himself on the golf course.

Kelce chopped it up with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast this week ... when he peeled back the curtain on his romance with Taylor Swift -- and denied they're purposely trying to get more eyeballs on them with their adventures.

"We're having fun with it, man," Kelce said. "Yeah, being a couple, dude. You already know. It gets thrown out there as it's like we're trying to seek attention every now and then. But it's like, we're just enjoying life and having fun, going to hockey games, kind of introducing her to some more of the sports world."

Aaron Rodgers' wedding was apparently so private, not even David Bakhtiari -- one of his best pals -- got the invite ... and the former Packers star is clearly not thrilled about it.

Bakhtiari -- who blocked for Rodgers in Green Bay for a decade -- revealed on Monday he didn't personally get to see Aaron tie the knot this year ... which obviously ticked him off.

The former left tackle shared a video from Jordan Love and Ronika Stone's weekend wedding ... and in a caption that praised the current Packers signal-caller for the nuptials, he threw some shade at Rodgers.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce gave the Big Apple a reason to stop and stare -- stepping out lookin' like the couple of the summer.

The pop star and her NFL boyfriend stepped out Saturday night for a swanky dinner in New York City. Taylor was pure pink perfection in a mini dress with gold buttons, pairing it with beige heels.

Meanwhile, Travis kept it low-key and luxe -- rocking a fresh white top, trousers, white socks, and black loafers.

The duo hit up a trendy downtown dinner spot, walking in like they owned the place ... of course, with a handful of security in tow.

Joe "Baby Joe" Castaneda -- Adrian Peterson's poker game rival -- is down to move the guys' beef from the felt tables to the squared circle ... telling TMZ Sports he definitely has interest in sparring the NFL legend in a sanctioned bout.

Castaneda, who went toe-to-toe last month with the former Minnesota Vikings running back during a violent scrap over cards at a Houston, Texas social club -- said this week if he were approached by some kind of celebrity boxing promotion to fight AP in a ring, he wouldn't say no.

Castaneda told us it would require some kind of monetary compensation -- but if the number was right, he'd have no problem mixing it up with Peterson again under some far brighter lights.

In a competition you never expected, the person who has a Jason Kelce pin-up tattoo is getting a run for their money  ... 'cause someone else now has his brother, Travis, forever inked on his bod -- and TMZ Sports spoke with proud owner!!

Nick Jones -- the man with the new ink -- answered the challenge put out by Accelerator Energy Drink to get the TK pin-up ... with his reward being a ton of free product and a signed jersey.

Jones, a Dallas Cowboys fan, said he didn't want the Eagles to get even more time in the limelight following their Super Bowl LIX victory ... so he took the company up on their offer.

Could love be in bloom? Heads are certainly turning ... 'cause newly single Orlando Bloom and Sydney Sweeney were spotted strolling through Venice Saturday morning after they attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!

But they weren't alone -- they stepped out on the Floating City with none other than Tom Brady ... who's also single.

Sydney outdid her male counterparts in the style department ... rocking a flowing floral-print dress with her signature blonde hair styled in loose curls.

Sauce Gardner is peeling back the curtain on his love life ... telling TMZ Sports things are pretty "cool" with Ice Spice -- and as it turns out, LeBron James had a role in their coupling!!

We caught up with the New York Jets star out in L.A. this week ... and asked him all about his budding romance with the rapper.

While Sauce didn't sing like a bird, he did say he liked how things were going ... and raved about all they have in common -- being based in the Big Apple, experiencing success at a young age and having their fair share of haters.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Lenoir -- who recorded one forced fumble and two interceptions last season -- was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department at around 5:30 PM and was booked for resisting a peace officer a few hours later.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops approached Lenoir and a man named Marcus Cunningham when they observed vehicles double-parked and blocking traffic.

Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom are making it easy for all the single ladies in Venice ... with the two bachelors cruising around town in the same water taxi ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!!

The NFL G.O.A.T. and British actor kept it casual as they hopped in a boat together on Friday ... with TB12 rocking a white shirt, black shorts, green hat and some Nike sneakers -- and Bloom electing to bare his arms with a black tank and shirt and white shorts.

The hunky stags were accompanied by friends -- including Scooter Braun and Alex Spiro -- for the ride through the canals ... although it's unclear where exactly they were headed.

NFL free agent kicker Justin Tucker was just hit with a severe punishment ... being handed a 10-week suspension after a league investigation into misconduct allegations.

The 35-year-old -- who was released by the Baltimore Ravens back in May -- was accused by 16 massage therapists of acting inappropriately during sessions ranging from 2012-2016.

The league looked into the matter ... and on Thursday, announced the hefty ban.

3:14 PM PT -- Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu just commented on his arrest, releasing a video statement on the matter.

12:48 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu's mug shot.

The man accused of interrupting Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show by unfurling Palestinian and Sudanese flags during the big performance has been arrested for the stunt.

Louisiana State Police announced on Thursday, 41-year-old Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu has turned himself in to authorities on charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly ... after he allegedly disrupted Lamar's Feb. 9 concert at the Superdome in New Orleans.

The LSP claims Nantambu was the one who waved a flag with the message "Sudan and Free Gaza" on it as K. Dot was crooning "tv off" during the break in the Chiefs vs. Eagles championship tilt.

LSU pitcher Kade Anderson is loving the comparisons he's been getting to former Tigers stars Paul Skenes and Joe Burrow ... telling TMZ Sports he considers the two to be "legends."

The 20-year-old just wrapped up his sophomore season in Baton Rouge with a national championship ... and now, many expect him to be the top pick in next month's MLB draft.

With those predictions, he's unsurprisingly garnered comps to Skenes and Burrow -- two LSU alums who went No. 1 overall in their respective drafts -- and he told us on Wednesday he was super flattered to be even mentioned alongside those greats.

Move over, Chiefs ... one Kelce brother is all briefs now!!

Travis Kelce's older bro, Jason, made a helluva entrance at a charity event in Sea Isle City on Wednesday ... stripping down to a pair of tiny, U.S.A-themed undies to get the party started.

He, at first, had shorts on when he entered his annual Team 62 at the Ocean Drive celebrity bartending shindig -- but in order to rile up the crowd, he tore 'em off to reveal far more of him than the public's used to seeing.

Pacman Jones went off on cops during his public intoxication arrest earlier this month -- unleashing a verbal tirade on them before throwing elbows at one ... and his wild behavior was all captured on police video that TMZ Sports has just obtained.

Cops initially stopped the former NFL star in Covington, Ky. on June 7 to question him about a dispute at a nearby bar ... and almost immediately, Jones became combative.

You can see in the body camera footage, he raised his voice and attempted to walk away ... but he was able to briefly calm down to explain his side of the situation to officers.

Congratulations are in order for J.J. Watt and his wife, Kealia ... as the former all-pro defensive end and soccer star announced the birth of their second child -- Niko!!

The three-time Defensive Player of the Year shared the news on social media Tuesday ... introducing the world to their newest bundle of joy with a series of sweet photos where everyone -- including their firstborn, Koa -- was nothing but smiles.

"Overcome with joy and gratitude," he wrote.
