Warren Moon Not Surprised Patriots Dumped Stefon Diggs ... ‘He Brings Baggage!!!'
Stefon Diggs’ release in New England raised plenty of eyebrows -- but not Warren Moon’s.
We caught up with the Hall of Fame quarterback after the news of Diggs’ release broke, and the legendary QB tells TMZ Sports the move made sense given the circumstances surrounding the veteran receiver.
“You know, it doesn't surprise me,” Moon told Babcock moments after the news broke. “He brings a lot of baggage wherever he goes right now. He has off-the-field stuff, and he wasn't as productive over the last part of the season as he had been in the first part of the season.”
The move is notable considering Diggs actually produced in his lone season in Foxborough -- starting all 17 games and hauling in 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while serving as Drake Maye’s most targeted receiver in the young QB’s second season.

Although he was busted going 24 over the limit, the cop noted the two-time Defensive Player of the Year was "kind and cooperative" in the remarks section of the ticket.

Diggs caught 85 balls for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns during New England's return to greatness in 2025 ... helping the team get back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the Tom Brady era.

Tyreek Hill Scores Legal Win Over Sophie Hall ... Court Says No Pysch Exam Needed
Tyreek Hill is without an NFL home, but he still picked up a win in his ongoing legal battle with Sophie Hall ... as a judge denied the mode's request to force the receiver to take a court-mandated psych exam -- TMZ Sports has learned.
Judge David Haines filed his decision recently ... denying a motion filed by Hall's legal team in December that was looking to make Hill sit down with a licensed psychologist to determine "the full scope of Defendant's mental state, aggression and culpability."
Her filing stated that it was "critical" for Hall to have Hill go through that exam, saying they needed an expert who specializes in the field "to evaluate the defendant's longstanding pattern of anger and aggression towards others, particularly women, his documented history of violent behavior, including issues related to anger management, impulse control and aggression, which are directly in controversy and forms a critical component of this case."

Not long after it went public ... Murray took to his X account to thank everyone who showed him and his family love during his time with the organization.
Tom Brady Logan Paul's A B*tch!!!
The most random sports beef is intensifying -- Tom Brady isn't done going after Logan Paul for claiming he could hang with the NFL's big dogs ... straight-up calling the WWE Superstar a "b*tch!!"
The trash-talking started during Super Bowl week ... when Brady said Paul's wrestling skills were "cute," but no match for the real pros when they take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia later this month.
pic.twitter.com/wbvSXuX37P I hope people understand the level of competition this game is going to be. If you’re on my team you’re going to be locked in, all out, and we’re going to not just win... but dominate.
I do think @loganpaul has the right attitude and the effort will be… @TomBrady
Even though it's been damn near a month since their heated exchange, TB12 clearly hasn't gotten over it ... 'cause he unloaded more smack talk while working out with his longtime teammate Rob Gronkowski.

The new guy on the Cleveland sidelines uploaded the snap on Tuesday ... showing them cheesing for the cameras -- with the unique present posted up right behind.

Chloe Kim Confused Myles Garrett for DJ Before Dating Him ... Where’s Martin Garrix?!
Chloe Kim had no idea she was scouting her future boyfriend the first time she saw Myles Garrett play … because she thought she was there for a Martin Garrix concert.
The Olympic snowboarding superstar spilled the hilarious origin story on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” -- admitting she’s not a football fan and had zero clue she was watching the Cleveland Browns’ Defensive Player of the Year when a mutual friend invited her to a game.
Kim says her friend told her “our client’s playing,” but somehow heard “Martin Garrix” instead of Myles Garrett. So there she was … sitting in the stands, cheering for the Rams, fully expecting the EDM DJ to pop out at halftime.
Meanwhile, Garrett’s on the field wreaking havoc -- and Chloe’s wondering why the “performer” hasn’t taken the stage.
She even admitted she thought the DJ was “wack” for not showing up … only to realize later the whole point of the trip was to see Myles dominate, not drop a beat.

Of course, it was all fun and games until it wasn't ... as the gathering is now being remembered for all the wrong reasons, as a group of agitators turned their attention to some NYPD officers walking through the crowd, pelting them with snowballs.
A couple of officers were even injured during the incident.
