NFL

9:34 AM PT -- The NFL just addressed all the hubbub surrounding Brady's booth visit ... saying the seven-time Super Bowl winner violated zero rules by hanging with the coaches and wearing a headset during the game.

Tom Brady proved he's super hands-on in his role with the Las Vegas Raiders -- the GOAT was spotted soaking in "Monday Night Football" from the coaches' booth ... headset and all.

The Raiders' minority owner was shown on the ESPN broadcast during the first quarter of the Silver and Black's primetime matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 ... and while he didn't look too talkative, he did seem laser-focused on what was going on down on the field.

Brady's had to juggle his post-playing jobs -- during his first year as a Fox on-air talent, the NFL banned him from pre-production meetings, visiting team facilities or attending practices ... but the rules were amended prior to the 2025-26 season to allow him to chat with coaches and players virtually or off-site.

Travis Kelce's pregame warmup shirt paying homage to the suspended Rashee Rice has drawn the ire of many ... including an attorney who's representing one of the people injured in the receiver's infamous 2024 crash.

Marc Lenahan, Kathryn Kuykendall's lawyer, told TMZ Sports on Monday he's livid with Kelce for sporting the "Free 4" tee ... considering Rice is serving a six-game ban for causing that huge March '24 pileup in Dallas.

The attorney also took aim at Kelce's teammate, Tyquan Thornton, who sported the shirt just prior to Kansas City's game against the Eagles on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium as well.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is willing to drop a TON of money for Tom Brady ... but he's not trying to get the legendary QB out of retirement -- he shelled out $900k just to golf with the guy!!

Tons of high-profile names showed face at Ocean Casino Resort in the Garden State for the REFORM Alliance Casino Night and Gala on Saturday ... with Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Meek Mill, Robert Kraft, Travis Scott, Devin Booker, Michael Rubin and more in attendance.

We're told 53 helicopter trips were made to get all the celebs and VVIPs to the venue -- and the casino itself made a million dollar donation to support the charitable effort.

Madison Beer's rise to fame has been a mix of hard work and the use of high-profile support -- and we're here for all of it!

The hitmaker's gone from uploading cover tracks to YouTube to fielding Grammy nominations and receiving interest about her love life ... it's a bit of a change, we know.

We're going to take a look at how the singer made a name for herself ... and how many of her fans are thinking she might earn the title of Justin Herbert's girlfriend in the near future.

Madison kicked off her musical career when she was just a kid in 2012, as she posted videos of herself covering various songs on her YouTube account ... one of which caught the eye of Justin Bieber, who shared a link to the clip on his Twitter account at the time.

She released her debut single, "Melodies," in 2013, and her debut EP, "As She Pleases," came out five years later.

The performer's first full-length record, titled "Life Support," was released in 2021, and she debuted a follow-up, "Silence Between Songs," in 2023.

She's picked up plenty of awards and nominations for her work in the music industry, including two Grammy nods, in 2024 and 2025.

Madison's love life's been the subject of intense interest from her fans, and she was formerly linked to influencer Jack Gilinsky, who she dated from 2015 to 2017.

Although the singer was briefly linked to Brooklyn Beckham, she shut down dating rumors in an interview for AOL Build Series, where she described the son of David and Victoria Beckham as her "best friend."

Madison later began an on-off relationship with Zack Bia, and although they called time on their romance in 2019, he described her as part of his "family" in an interview with GQ.

She eventually ended up with social media personality Nick Austin, although their fans began speculating about the state of their romance after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Madison and Herbert first sparked dating rumors in August 2025, when he was spotted on the set of what appeared to be one of the singer's music video shoots.

We actually saw them when they arrived at a friend's house in Redondo Beach, California, the same month ... and they looked pretty cozy together, to be honest.

Oh, and the two were photographed holding hands leaving a restaurant in L.A. the following month, not long after the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Kansas City Chiefs at a game in Brazil -- they definitely had a reason to celebrate!

Joe Burrow ain't the only person in Bengals orange with some sore body parts today ... a group of fans are also no doubt in a bit of physical pain -- after they got in a wild fistfight following the quarterback's injury Sunday.

Shortly after Burrow hurt his toe during Cincinnati's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium ... a group of Bengals supporters -- many of whom were wearing JB's No. 9 jersey -- threw hands.

It's unclear if the signal-caller's turf toe ailment sparked the feud -- but check out video of the scrap, the guys were furious.

Taylor Swift snuck into a football stadium to watch her fiancé Travis Kelce at work ... and it looks like she used a bullet-resistant portable shield to evade detection following Charlie Kirk's very public murder.

Swifties are running with an interesting theory online after Taylor kept an extremely low profile at Sunday's game between Travis' Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles ... her fans think she was behind a bulletproof barrier that was seen rolling through the bowels of Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.

Check out the video ... there's a bunch of security guards and other staffers walking with the rolling screen and they're clearly hiding someone from being seen in public.

Jerry Jones is explaining the Dallas Cowboys' decision to honor Charlie Kirk prior to Sunday's game against the New York Giants ... saying as an organization, "we just all abhor violence."

America's Team was one of several franchises that held a moment of silence for the 31-year-old Sunday, with multiple opting not to -- as the NFL left the decision up to each hosting squad.

Jones said the recent violence is "impacting us all" ... and referenced growing up in the '60s and the string of senseless crimes that affected politics.

There's fans, and then there's diehard fans ... we're thinking Gillie Da Kid definitely fits into the second category!

The Philadelphia rapper's worn plenty of hats -- including several oversized ones -- over the length of his career, which has seen him pursue his interests in music, sports, and podcasting.

We're going to see how the performer made a name for himself within the Eagles fanbase ... and how his love for the team landed him in a feud with another figure from the world of football.

Gillie, born Nasir Fard, was born and raised in North Philadelphia. His rap career began in the 1990s, when he emerged from the city's rap scene as a member of the group Major Figgas.

The group released a single album in 2000, and although it peaked at Number 29 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart, the group ultimately disbanded.

Gillie later signed with Cash Money Records, and although he didn't release any music with the label, he claimed to have ghostwritten several tracks for Lil Wayne.

He's released several albums as a solo artist, and his most recent record, "Million Dollars Worth Of Game," debuted in 2017.

Gillie's seen his fair share of struggles in his personal life, as his son Devin Spady -- who also went by the rap name YNW Cheese -- was shot and killed in Philadelphia in 2023.

A funeral for Gillie's son was held at The Met Philadelphia, though he didn't make any public remarks at the service, according to CBS News.

Gillie's cousin Wallo, who was briefly a member of Major Figgas, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after picking up charges for armed robbery.

The rapper's relative was released in 2017, and he's since become a co-host of the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast alongside Gillie.

Gillie's a longtime fan of the Eagles, and he became the team's unofficial hypeman in 2024, when he received notice for wearing an oversized cap featuring the team's logo and dancing to Too Short's track "Blow The Whistle" at various NFL-related events.

His affinity for the Birds has earned him the ire of former pro quarterback Cam Newton ... their feud started in July 2025, when the athlete left Jalen Hurts off his top-10 quarterback ranking on an episode of his "4th&1" podcast, according to Vibe.

Gillie took offense to the snub, and responded on "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" to call out Newton for never having won a Super Bowl ring over the length of his career in the NFL.

Taylor Swift attended Travis Kelce's game today ... but, from FOX's broadcast and social media you'd hardly know it -- 'cause it looks like she snuck into the stadium!

While the singer-songwriter usually makes a splash when she shows up to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs, it seems no one got a good glimpse of her Sunday ... 'cause video of the star striding down the tunnel on her way to her suite didn't surface online.

Plus, the TV broadcast seemingly didn't show her at all ... so, a few outlets previously reported she didn't pull up to take in the action this time.

Travis Kelce is letting fans in on the moment he popped the question to Taylor Swift, and let’s just say he was a bundle of nerves.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up during a pre-game sit-down with Erin Andrews on Sunday, revealing the proposal had him tearing up. “There were a few tears here and there. I’m an emotional guy,” he admitted. “The palms were definitely sweating. It’s been an exciting ride up to this day. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”

Trav didn’t spill every detail, joking he wanted Taylor to “tell that story.” But he confirmed the milestone moment went down last month, right after she guest-starred on his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

Football season's back in full swing, folks, and we wanna see if you can guess who this star quarterback is!

We caught this athlete back in 2019, when he was attending the 2019 EA Sports Bowl and asked him about -- you guessed it, his history with baseball! Oh, and in case you didn't know, he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2014, but he eventually switched to the gridiron.

One of the most prominent women's organizations in the country is demanding the NFL suspend Tyreek Hill ... as Roger Goodell's league investigates the latest domestic violence allegations against the Dolphins superstar.

National Organization for Women president Kim Villanueva told TMZ Sports this week she's livid that despite Keeta Vaccaro's claims against Hill, the Miami wide receiver will still be allowed to suit up against the New England Patriots later Sunday.

"Tyreek Hill should not be playing while these charges are being investigated," Villanueva said. "The NFL itself proudly proclaims that forty-seven percent of the NFL audience is women, and women are watching to see where the league stands today."

The start of football season means plenty of new opportunities are in the air, and we're looking out for fresh faces on the field, impressive new plays -- and Taylor Swift sightings at Kansas City Chiefs games!

To commemorate the NFL's second week, we're taking a look back to September 2023, when the hitmaker was first spotted supporting her now-fiancé Travis Kelce while the Chiefs took on the Chicago Bears ... they won the game, FYI.

Breathe easy, Longhorns fans ... Brett Favre says despite Arch Manning's early-season struggles -- he's just sure the Texas quarterback is going to be fine.

TMZ Sports chatted with the Hall of Famer following Manning's up-and-down start to the 2025-26 season ... and he told us, despite some hiccups, UT supporters will be loving what they see out of Arch in no time.

Favre explained opening the season on the road against Ohio State -- the defending national champions -- is a brutal way for any player to start, let alone one entering his first year as QB1.

Eric and Jessie James Decker are starring in the upcoming season of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" ... and when they reflected on their experience on the show with TMZ Sports this week, they ensured it was "grueling."

The couple talked all about their time on the hit Fox program while out at LAX ... and they said while it was certainly challenging, they both had an awesome time.

"I enjoyed seeing her in that kind of element," Eric said. "We obviously had each other for support, but to see her kind of in a rugged, tough environment showed me a lot of character."

Congratulations are in order for Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy and his fiancée, Katya Kuropas -- the couple just welcomed a baby boy!!

The two shared the announcement in a joint Instagram post on Friday ... introducing the world to their new bundle of joy, Rome Micah McCarthy.

"The sweetest, most perfect gift from God," they said. "We are so unbelievably blessed to be your parents."
