Ezekiel Elliott Present At Texas Bar Fight ... Cops Investigating Friends' Involvement

Published | Updated

Ezekiel Elliott was at a Texas bar over the weekend when a violent fight broke out ... and now, cops tell TMZ Sports they're investigating if members of the NFL star's crew were involved.

According to Frisco Police Dept. documents we obtained, the disturbance happened at around 1 AM at Concrete Cowboy -- a nightclub located a few yards from the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility in Frisco.

Video shot by a patron at the establishment shows as Elliott was talking with a woman, several people got into a brawl just feet away.

You can see in the footage, at one point during the squabble, a man appears to throw a punch that lands squarely on another man's back.

Officers wrote in an incident report that "a male and a female were physically assaulted by a large group of males" in the fracas. An FPD spokesperson added in a statement that witnesses alleged "members of Elliott's group may have been involved."

Cops, however, said a probe into the allegations is still ongoing ... and detectives are "still working to confirm the details of the incident."

Elliott is, of course, very familiar with the Frisco area ... he played for the Cowboys for the first seven seasons of his career, before he joined the New England Patriots in 2023.

The 28-year-old tailback found success in his first season in another team's uniform, piling up 955 total yards from scrimmage and five total TDs.

Patrick Mahomes Fame Hasn't Changed Kelce 'He's Just Been Himself'

Published | Updated

Patrick Mahomes says dating a popstar and hosting "Saturday Night Live" hasn't changed Travis Kelce one bit ... telling reporters Wednesday his best bud has remained even keel despite all the newfound fame.

The Chiefs quarterback praised his tight end for not letting all the attention get to his head during his weekly meeting with media members ... explaining Kelce has "just been himself the whole time."

"He's still Travis Kelce," Mahomes said. "He still will walk through the stadium and treat every single person like they're his best friend. And he's going to be like that in the locker room every single day."

"It hasn't been any different."

Of course, Kelce's life has completely changed since he won his second Super Bowl last February. He drew a ton of laughs on "SNL," earned features in a bevy of new commercials ... and, as you already know, he got into a relationship with Taylor Swift.

But Mahomes was adamant that "Travis has always been Travis" throughout it all.

The 28-year-old signal-caller also had a bunch of nice things to say about Kelce's "SNL" appearance ... telling reporters he was super happy to watch Kelce live out a lifelong dream.

Up next for the two now is a date with the Baltimore Ravens ... and if they're able to win that, it'll be the Super Bowl -- where Kelce's star could somehow, if you can believe it, get even brighter.

Jim Harbaugh Bolting For L.A. Chargers Gig ... After Winning Natty

Published

Jim Harbaugh is back in the NFL -- the University of Michigan head football coach has reportedly accepted the same role with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Harbaugh is fresh off winning a national championship with his alma mater ... taking down the Washington Huskies earlier this month, 34-13.

This won't be the 60-year-old's first time leading NFL sidelines -- he also coached the San Francisco 49ers to a 44-22-1 record from 2011-14, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2012 against his brother, John, and the Baltimore Ravens.

This is the fifth head coaching gig for the former NFL QB -- he also had stints at San Diego and Stanford before jumping to the pros the first time around.

It's another full-circle moment for Harbaugh -- he played for the then-San Diego Chargers from 1999-00.

Harbaugh was expected to meet a second time with the Atlanta Falcons this week regarding their coaching vacancy ... but that interview was reportedly scrapped earlier Wednesday.

Jim is taking over a team with a ton of talent ... most notably quarterback Justin Herbert, who undoubtedly made it a sexy job opening.

Travis Kelce Taylor 'Absolutely Loved' Jason!!! ... Despite Shirtless Antics

GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION

Taylor Swift apparently had no issues with Jason Kelce freein' the nip in front of her at the Bills game Sunday ... 'cause Travis Kelce said his GF "absolutely loved" him despite the shirtless antics.

The Kelce brothers dedicated nearly half an hour of their "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday to breaking down Jason's wacky behavior on his first trip as a fan to Highmark Stadium ... and it didn't take long for the elder Kelce to explain why he dropped his top in front of the biggest pop star on the planet.

Jason said he wanted to get the full Bills Mafia experience and immerse himself into Buffalo fans' famous "pageantry" ... but he did joke it all almost caused a tiff with his wife, Kylie.

"She was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor," Jason said.

Travis' brother, however, then hilariously said, "I was like, 'Kylie, the first day I met you I was blacked-out drunk and fell asleep at the bar. This is part of the charm! This is part of the Jason Kelce charm!' I want to make my best first impression -- this is my best chance."

The good news? Travis said despite Jason spending most of the night near Swift slugging beers without a shirt on ... the "Bad Blood" crooner had no issues with him whatsoever.

"Well," Travis said, "Tay said she absolutely loved you."

012224_jason_kelce_kal 1/21/24
HEY TAYLOR!!!

Seems most everyone else around Jason did that night, too. You'll recall, after he brought some little girls up to the box to say hi to Swift, fans pleaded with him to join the Bills.

Meanwhile, it appears we all could see this again play out in just a few days ... Kansas City is taking on Baltimore on Sunday -- and it seems likely Jason will be there for it ... with or without a shirt.

Travis Kelce Confused Over Hamlin Fake Punt ... 'WTF Are They Doing?'

Published

WTF???

Travis Kelce said what everyone was thinking about the Buffalo Bills' head-scratching fake punt with Damar Hamlin during Sunday's playoff game ... admitting he bluntly asked himself, "What in the f*** are they doing??"

The Bills were feeling spicy early in the fourth quarter of their 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs ... going for it on fourth and five from their own 30-yard line, which resulted in a turnover on downs.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend spoke about the interesting decision to try and pull a quick one on the defending Super Bowl champs ... and he was just as confused as everyone else.

"Initially, I'm like, 'What the f*** are they doing?'" Kelce told his brother, Jason, on their "New Heights" podcast. "Fourth and five, in your own territory at that point in the game, that's not time for a fake ... especially in the playoffs, where everything is on the line."

Kelce broke down what he eventually concluded about the move ... explaining he believes the Bills noticed the Chiefs only had 10 men on the field, and they had an audible in place for that specific scenario in hopes of maximizing on the opportunity.

Of course, Hamlin was stuffed after just a few yards ... and the Chiefs took over possession before eventually securing the win and a spot in the AFC Championship Game.

Both Kelces agree the Bills should have included a bit of misdirection or at least some trickery during the attempt ... but overall, Travis ain't upset one bit with how the play unfolded.

Travis Kelce My Heart Hands Were For Bills Fans ... Not Taylor Swift

SPREADING THE LOVE

Sorry, Swifties ... Travis Kelce just admitted his viral heart hands celebration on Sunday was NOT aimed at his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on Wednesday's episode of his "New Heights" podcast that the gesture was actually for angry Buffalo Bills fans.

Kelce explained to his brother, Jason, on the show that as he was pulling up to Highmark Stadium in Buffalo to prep for the Divisional Round playoff game, Bills Mafia threw shade his team's way that he thought crossed the line.

"The Bills -- coming into their house, they want to make it rowdy," Kelce said. "Did it get a little disrespectful? One-thousand percent. One-thousand percent. Did it get a little extra? One-thousand percent."

TMZ INVESTIGATES

Kelce declined to say exactly what was said by the Bills backers ... though he did tell Jason, "Some things were said about the families -- some pretty inappropriate things were said about Pat Mahomes. It was pretty wack."

So, in an effort to make sure Bills fans knew the feelings weren't "mutual" ... he formed his fingers into a heart after scoring his first touchdown of the night.

"I don't hate you guys like you hate us," he said of what his intentions were with the celly. "It's all love, baby. It's all love."

Of course, Swift has made the move famous over the years ... and Kelce was actually spotted throwing it up to her fans at her show down in Argentina late last year.

But, seems Swift will have to wait at least another week to get some real-deal, on-field, in-game love from her BF.

Taylor had much to be happy about as her hunky beau, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, caught a touchdown pass from Brittany's hubby, QB Patrick Mahomes, during the game.

After the Chiefs won, Taylor, Brittany and Cara enjoyed lots of booze and fun conversations in their VIP suite at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium. Travis' All-Pro brother, Jason, and his wife, Kylie, joined the women and had a blast, too.

Tyler Bass Fans Donate To Kicker's Charity After Missed FG ... Over $50K Raised!!!

Published | Updated

update

8:38 AM PT -- The 10 Lives Club just gave us an update on the amount of donations for Tyler Bass' charity ... as of early Tuesday morning, they've collected over $50K for the Bills kicker!

"We've never received this much in a day ever," said 10 Lives Club spokesperson.

Football fans are throwing their support behind Tyler Bass with their wallets ... 'cause tons of donations are flooding in for the Bills kicker's charity after he missed a crucial field goal in Buffalo's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

26-year-old Bass -- one of the best kickers in the league -- was targeted with heavy criticism after his 44-yard attempt went wide right in the closing minutes of the Divisional Round game on Sunday ... which helped seal the 27-24 win for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Bass reportedly even received threats over the mishap ... which seemingly resulted in him deactivating his social media accounts.

But, in true Bills Mafia fashion, diehards are showing serious love for Bass to try and drown out the hate ... by making $22 contributions (as a nod to his No. 2 jersey) to the Ten Lives Club, a cat rescue charity he has worked with over the years.

So far, the organization has seen more than $25,000 come in from both Bills and Chiefs fans, according to WIVB in Buffalo.

The shelter also released a statement on social media ... calling for the negativity toward Bass to stop.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"WE STAND WITH TYLER BASS. DON’T BULLY OUR FRIEND 👊," the org. said on Monday. "We just heard the terrible news that Tyler Bass is receiving threats after yesterday’s game and our phones are ringing off the hook from people who want to donate $22 to Ten Lives Club in Tyler’s name."

"Tyler doesn’t deserve any of the hate he’s receiving. He’s an excellent football player and an even better person who took the time to help our organization and rescue cats last year. Leave our friend alone."

Bass owned up to the miss right after the game ... taking blame for the Bills' exit from the postseason, but his teammates like Josh Allen had his back -- saying it was a group effort.

It's no surprise the Bills' passionate fanbase is rallying behind one of their guys with charitable contributions ... as they've helped raise money for Allen, Damar Hamlin and more in the past.

'GMA' HOST MICHAEL STRAHAN DAUGHTER ISABELLA ENJOYS VACAY R&R ... Amid Brain Tumor Battle

Published | Updated

Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella is finally kicking back for a much-needed pool day ... after wrapping up her last radiation treatment to tackle her brain cancer.

The 19-year-old posed away with her twin sister Sophia in a series of bikini-clad IG snaps Monday from their sunny vacation ... captioning it, "In good company."

Isabella also enjoyed some R&R at the beach ... smiling wide as she made the most of the break before starting chemotherapy next month.

She said she was excited to be done with radiation during a candid YouTube video last week ... nearly 3 months after doctors found a malignant brain tumor.

She explained on 'GMA' earlier this month her cancer is known as medulloblastoma -- noting docs discovered a tumor as big as a golf ball lodged toward the base of her skull.

Upon the discovery, Isabella underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. ... where she's attending college at USC. The procedure to remove the mass appears to have been a success.

Her dad dropped everything in NYC at the time ... booking a flight to the West Coast to be by his daughter's side -- which explained why Michael had been off the air so much back in the fall.

Isabella will begin chemotherapy at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center in Durham, NC, in February.

We got into the apparent about-face on 'TMZ Live' ... trying to make sense of this back-and-forth, and whether Pauly actually has the fitness legend's blessing or not.

Yes, he was shirtless ... and we had some laughs about the whole thing. All in good fun!

Rams' Demarcus Robinson Sues L.A. Hotel After Robbery ... You Failed To Protect Me!!!

Published

Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is suing an L.A.-area hotel ... after he says the establishment didn't do enough to protect him during a terrifying robbery in its lobby last year.

The 29-year-old claimed in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County last week that the incident happened at the Lexen Hotel in North Hollywood at around midnight on Oct. 20, 2023.

Robinson claims he entered the facility through a side entrance after pulling into the parking garage ... but when he made his way into the lobby, two masked men pulled guns on him and threatened to murder him.

In the suit, Robinson says the men took nearly $150,000 worth of stuff off of his person during the encounter ... including a luxury diamond watch and two diamond chains.

Robinson claims the hotel didn't have security guards outside the hotel or in the lobby -- adding that employees who were working at the front desk at the time didn't call authorities until after the suspects had fled the area.

Robinson's suing the place for negligence and more ... seeking at least $149,500 in damages ... plus punitives.

Robinson played in 16 regular season games for the Rams this year. He also logged snaps in the team's lone playoff game earlier this month against the Lions, recording three catches for 44 yards.

Robinson did it all despite saying in his suit he suffered "an emotional toll" from the October incident at the hotel.

Buffalo Official Denies K.C. Player's Claims No One Shut Off Chiefs' Hot Water

Published | Updated

Buffalo is refuting claims that it shut off the Chiefs' hot water following their playoff game Sunday night ... a rep for the city tells TMZ Sports the allegations are "false."

Chiefs offensive lineman Donovan Smith went public with the accusation on his X page just after Kansas City upset the Bills, 27-24, at Highmark Stadium ... writing, "Damn caught a L and they shut our hot water off…"

However, a spokesperson for Eerie County -- which owns Highmark Stadium -- said in a statement Monday morning that the team and its officials did no such thing.

"This is false," Eerie County Press Secretary Peter Anderson said. "There is no way to turn hot water off on one side or the other. There are two huge hot water tanks which feed both home and away locker rooms."

Anderson said if the Chiefs did experience any issues, it was likely due to high demand following the frigid game.

"It is no different than in your home;" Anderson added, "when the water runs continuously, it will struggle to keep up with demand. Everything for hot water in the locker rooms was upgraded in recent renovations."

Of course, the alleged shower problems weren't the only thing K.C. players had a gripe with following the big victory ... they also didn't love that they were pelted by snowballs from angry fans as well.

Then again, video from inside of the team's locker room shows they clearly didn't care all that much ... as it sure seems like a trip to the AFC Championship assuages a lot of things!

Bills Kicker Tyler Bass Missing Game-Tying FG Hurts Bad ... 'I Feel Terrible'

Published

Bills' Tyler Bass is kicking himself after missing the game-tying field goal against the Chiefs in Sunday's divisional round ... placing the blame for the loss squarely on his own shoulders.

"Ultimately you can put it on me," the 26-year-old kicker told reporters after the 27-24 loss. "I got to do a better job of keeping my target."

Of course, the Bills were down 3 with 1:47 left in the game when Bass -- who signed a 4-year extension last April -- attempted a 44-yard FG which sailed "wide right" (which have become the franchise's most dreaded words).

For all intends and purposes it was game over at that point.

The crushing loss marks the third time in the last four years that the Chiefs have sent the Bills home for the season.

"I got to do a better job of playing it a little bit more left to right," Bass said.

"I’ve been playing here long enough to know you got to do that. It just didn’t work out. I feel terrible. I love this team and this one hurts bad."

Despite fans ripping the kicker for the miss, his quarterback Josh Allen had his back after the game, comforting Bass, and reminding people it's time to comfort, not rip the kicker.

"Wish it wouldn't have been put in that situation," Allen said. "You win as a team, you lose as a team."

"One play doesn't define a game, it doesn't define a season."

Jason Kelce Lifts Young Fans to Say Hi to Taylor ... & Other Shirtless Highlights

HEY TAYLOR!!!

Taylor Swift doesn't get upstaged very often -- but Travis Kelce's brother, Jason, may have done just that at Sunday's game ... where the dude was shirtless and ready to rage.

The Eagles center -- whose season is over after his team lost in the playoffs last week -- was hanging out with T-Swift and a bunch of other friends/family in a private suite at Highmark Stadium as Travis and the Chiefs took on the Buffalo Bills in a huge game.

You could tell JK was ready to party from the get-go, because pretty quickly ... he lost his shirt, and was going bare-chested through much of the game, crushing beers and roaring.

Of course, Tay-Tay was there next to him too ... screaming her head off, all while knocking back drinks with Brittany Mahomes and other gal pals in tow, like Cara Delevingne. From the looks of the photos of their celebration, they were having a damn good time in there.

Now, at one point when things settled down, some fans caught Jason's attention right below their box -- namely, young girls who apparently had some Swiftie signage they wanted to show off. Jason saw this, climbed down to them (again, shirtless) and obliged their request.

He picked both girls up and took 'em to the window, where they were able to wave hi to Taylor and everyone else inside ... and Jason was just playing everyone's cool uncle.

Pretty sweet moment, we must say ... the guy's totally comfortable, and so are the parents.

As for what Taylor, Travis and everyone else got up to after the game -- where everybody was riding high off of a nail-biting win -- there's a photo going around showing Trav and co. posing for a group pic.

The good times keep on rolling for this crew ... next stop, Baltimore. Then, maybe SB!
