Jason Kelce was once a finalist for the "Sexiest Man Alive" ... but did you know he's got some major sax appeal too?!?

The Philadelphia Eagles legend joined the Baltimore Ravens' famous marching band on Monday night ... and he showed he's got the skills to delight thousands with a saxophone.

The former NFL center was front and center in the band as he did a bit for his gig as an ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst ... and he looked like he knew what he was doing as he belted out the "MNF" theme song.

Travis Kelce has had a rough month on the gridiron … first slapped with a $14,491 fine by the NFL for making an obscene gesture -- and now clashing with KC Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid.

The latest incident went down Sunday night, when the Chiefs were battling the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium ... and tensions flared in the second quarter.

Here’s what happened … Kelce caught a pass for minus 2 yards, setting up 40-yard field goal attempt that kicker Harrison Butker missed. Moments later, Kelce headed to the sideline, where Reid was already waiting.

Tom Brady strangely referenced dog abuse while on-air Sunday ... and animal lovers everywhere are outraged.

The NFL legend's bizarre comments came during the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bears' big victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Soldier Field ... just after George Pickens dropped a Dak Prescott pass that ended up as an interception.

Brady -- who was on the call for the Fox broadcast -- saw the Cowboys wideout slam his helmet in disgust ... and oddly compared it to hitting a pet.

Madison Beer is really embracing her new role as a WAG -- the singer hit the Los Angeles Chargers game on Sunday to support her new man, Justin Herbert!!

The "Yes Baby" singer was spotted sitting in the suites at SoFi Stadium as the Bolts squared off against the Denver Broncos ... and even though she wasn't wearing a No. 10 jersey, we all know who she was there to see.

Beer, 26, was clearly having a blast ... flashing a heart-hand gesture to the crowd and sharing an Instagram Story of a young LA fan flexing for the scoreboard.

There was a famous Taylor in the stands at the Chiefs game Sunday night -- and for a brief moment, the New York Giants had everyone believing it was Travis Kelce's fiancée.

The epic fakeout went down early in Kansas City's matchup with the G-Men at MetLife Stadium ... when the home team played Taylor Swift's song, "Welcome to New York," while panning through the crowd.

Most expected the payoff to be a shot of Swift in a luxury box ... but instead, the cam landed on a different Taylor -- Lawrence!!

The NFL's already entered its third week, and we wanna see if you can guess who this pro quarterback is!

We caught up with this athlete at a 2020 draft party before he started playing in the league and asked him about his desire to play with the elite, and he was really honest about being happy to suit up for any team that wanted him.

Eric Dickerson made it crystal clear this week he's no fan of the Cleveland Browns ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks "they're horrible" -- and he wishes Shedeur Sanders ended up elsewhere.

The Hall of Fame running back minced no words during a chat with us at LAX ... saying he can't stand that the Browns were the ones who ultimately picked the younger Sanders in April's NFL draft.

He told us Cleveland is "a bad football team" with a track record of messing up QBs ... and he admitted he's hoping the org. will eventually just let Shedeur go to another franchise.

Terry Bradshaw sees nothing wrong with Tom Brady balancing his role as a Fox broadcaster with his gig as a Raiders owner ... telling TMZ Sports it's just not a big deal to him.

Brady, of course, sparked a firestorm of sorts among NFL fans this week ... after he was seen in Las Vegas' coaching booth wearing a headset during the Raiders' "Monday Night Football" matchup with the Chargers.

Fans were even more up in arms about the scene when it was reported during the game that Brady had regular talks with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly about game plans.

Shaquil Barrett is keepin' his phone within reach ... telling TMZ Sports if an NFL team calls about a comeback -- he'll be ready to answer!!

The 32-year-old said this week he's not closing the door on his football career ... insisting he "can give it one more good year."

It's been a while, of course, since Barrett's logged significant snaps -- the last time he played in multiple games in a season was 2023 -- but he's adamant he can still help a pass rush-needy franchise somewhere.

1:22 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained Jadeveon Clowney's mug shot.

We've also gotten a hold of the police report related to the NFL star's arrest ... and it states Clowney was taken into custody after he got into a dispute while trying to find parking near a high school football game.

The docs state Clowney argued with a cop while searching for a spot -- and refused to provide an ID.

"Reporting officer requested Clowney's identification at least twice during the incident which Clowney repeatedly refused to provide," police wrote in the docs. "Reporting officer advised Clowney that he was under arrest for trespassing and failure to ID."

Clowney, meanwhile, addressed the incident with Dallas Cowboys media members on Friday and said he's ready to "move on from it."

Jadeveon Clowney was arrested last week ... just a couple days before he signed a contract to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

Although Kyler Murray's mostly known for his work on the gridiron, he became notable among football fans for a not-so-positive reason in September 2025.

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback received widespread backlash after he shared a photo in which he posed next to one of his pit bulls while wearing a Michael Vick jersey ... there are some pretty negative connotations there.

Here's a look at what led to the athlete receiving criticism for his post, which he quickly took down, and at how he managed the subsequent fallout.

For a bit of context ... Vick, a former NFL star, was arrested and agreed to plead guilty to charges related to his involvement with a dog-fighting ring in 2007.

The athlete admitted to killing several dogs by hanging and drowning when he was questioned in the case, according to ESPN. An official report in the case included information about the former football player finding it "funny" when certain dogs injured and killed others.

He was convicted in 2007 and received a 23-month prison sentence. He was ultimately released early, in May 2009, for good behavior, and he served two months of home confinement before he was fully released from federal custody.

Vick was reinstated to the NFL in 2009, and he announced his retirement in 2017 after spending the 2016 season as a free agent. He's also become an advocate for animal rights in the years since his release from prison.

Murray's post didn't really leave much to the imagination, as he wore a Vick jersey while posing for the photos.

It's worth mentioning the jersey was from Vick's time at Virginia Tech University, where he played from 1999 to 2000.

Also present in one of the photos was Trunks, one of Murray's pit bulls -- a breed historically prized for its fighting skills.

Murray's post didn't stay up for long, as he got tons of backlash over its implications before taking it down.

Murray spoke about the controversy surrounding his post at a press conference on September 17th, and he apologized for any discomfort he might have caused by sharing the photos, according to USA Today.

The athlete admitted to taking down the post after he "saw how it affected people" and stated he "no way, shape or form" condoned either dog fighting or animal cruelty.

He chalked up his act of wearing Vick's jersey to paying tribute to "a player I admired very much growing up" in his statement.

Stefon Diggs appeared to be on baby duty earlier this year -- the NFL superstar was spotted leaving a hospital with a car seat in his hands ... exactly one day before he hard-launched his relationship with Cardi B.

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the New England Patriots receiver outside an NYC medical facility on May 11 ... meaning he really made the most of his time in the Big Apple, as he hit Madison Square Garden hand-in-hand with the "Outside" rapper to catch the Knicks host the Boston Celtics in a playoff matchup just over 24 hours later.

In the footage, Diggs walks toward an SUV with an unidentified woman in the backseat ... and it appears he's trying to figure out where to fit the carrier before electing to try his luck on the other side.

Colin Kaepernick is stepping in to cover the costs of a second, independent autopsy for De'Martravion "Trey" Reed -- the black student found hanging from a tree on a college campus ... this after officials announced this week his death was ruled a suicide.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the Reed family, released a statement on Friday ... revealing Kap's Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative will fund a separate autopsy as the family challenges the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office's initial ruling.

Reed's body was found hanging from a tree on the Delta State University campus on Monday ... and his loved ones have raised questions surrounding the details being provided.

The Buffalo Bills improved to 3-0 after defeating the Miami Dolphins 31-21 Thursday night ... but two members of Bills Mafia wanted something more to really make the evening even more memorable -- Ryan Fitzpatrick's chest!!

It all went down during the Prime Video postgame show ... when the folks at Highmark Stadium stuck around to engage with the former Bills quarterback as he was live on air -- with one sign requesting he free the nip.

"That sign is back," he said. "We're back Fitz, now show them your t**z!"

Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is adamant Tom Brady does not have a huge role in the team's game planning process ... saying Thursday when the two talk ball, they keep it pretty generic.

Peter Schrager, of course, reported during "Monday Night Football" that Brady -- a Raiders co-owner who also helps broadcast NFL games for Fox -- talks with Kelly 2-3 times a week ... and occasionally goes over game plans with the assistant coach.

But Kelly -- who addressed the report for the first time during Vegas' media availability Thursday -- insisted the talks are far more casual.

NFL defensive back Jimmie Ward will not face criminal charges in his domestic violence case ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

A Montgomery County, Texas court official tells us a no bill was issued on Thursday ... after a grand jury did not find probable cause in the case.

The Houston Texans safety's attorney, Stephen Jackson, said in a statement to us just after the ruling that he and his client were thrilled with the outcome.
