The Cleveland Browns' franchise player is asking for a change of scenery ... with Myles Garrett publicly requesting a trade so he can pursue a Super Bowl championship.

The defensive superstar laid out his wishes in a statement on Monday ... saying his dream has always been to compete for a title -- and his goals won't allow him to be "complacent."

"The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl," Garrett said in a statement.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were a couple thousand miles apart on Sunday, but their outfits sure seemed to indicate they were thinking about each other nonetheless.

As Swift rolled to the Grammys in Southern California in a Chiefs-red outfit adorned with a "T" chain on her leg ... Kelce touched down in New Orleans for Super Bowl week in attire that appeared to be an homage to his popstar girlfriend.

Check it out ... the Kansas City star's tracksuit was all gold -- a seeming nod to the six trophies Swift was nominated for Sunday night.

Torry Holt's wait for the Hall of Fame will end this week ... so says Isaac Bruce, who tells TMZ Sports he's sure his former Rams teammate will finally get the nod on Thursday night.

Holt is going up against 14 other modern-era finalists for as many as five spots in the 2025 class ... and it's certainly no given he gets a seat at the table -- 'cause the competition is stiff.

Legends like Eli Manning, Antonio Gates, Adam Vinatieri and Luke Kuechly are all in the mix ... but according to Bruce, Holt can stop holding his breath right now.

Jon Stewart's got a message for sports gamblers ... don't do it -- or don't lose, at least -- because it forced him to get decked out in Philadelphia Eagles gear, pissing off his hometown crowd in Madison Square Garden.

Jon was rocking Eagles green from head to toe -- even had a bucket lid -- Saturday night at MSG, where he was watching his Knicks take on the Lakers. Normally, Jon's a beloved Knicks faithful, but some boos rained down on him ... due to his wardrobe.

He can thank Knicks star Jalen Brunson for all this -- they bet on last month's Eagles-Giants game, and since the G-Men came up short, Jon had to pay up ... in a Saquon Barkley jersey, no less! Jalen made sure to come over and compliment Jon's fit. 😂

Offended by Antonio Brown's X page? The former NFL star says you shouldn't be ... telling TMZ Sports all of his crass content is supposed to be "comedy."

The ex-Pittsburgh Steelers wideout has found himself in hot water repeatedly over the last year or so over some commentary he's made on Elon Musk's app.

He's ruffled feathers with Tayvis supporters, Caitlin Clark fans, Tom Brady lovers ... and even those who enjoy Philadelphia 76ers star Jared McCain's content.

A Kansas City three-peat would thrill an entire region, but according to former New York Giants star Brandon Jacobs, it would NOT give the Chiefs claim to the title of GOAT dynasty.

In a sit-down interview with TMZ Sports this week, the former tailback said Tom Brady's New England Patriots squads will still have a leg up on K.C. in his mind ... even though they never won three Super Bowls in a row.

Jacobs says it simply comes down to Brady's Pats rosters doing more with less ... explaining, "I think Patrick Mahomes' team is better than Tom Brady's team."

Adam Vinatieri isn't hiding it -- he'd really love to be a Hall of Famer ... and he tells TMZ Sports if he's officially inducted next week, he'll be doing some gymnastics!!

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is slated to announce its 2025 class on Thursday ... and Vinatieri is one of 15 modern-era finalists vying for as many as five spots.

The competition is super stiff -- some of the other 14 names looking to get the call include Eli Manning, Luke Kuechly, Antonio Gates, Torry Holt, Terrell Suggs and Reggie Wayne.

Big Sean is in shambles over the Detroit Lions' early playoff exit, straight up telling TMZ Hip Hop, he doesn't know what the f*** happened to his squad!!!

We caught up with Sean this week at the signing of his new "Go Higher" self-help book, but the Detroit MC didn't have much advice for his squad ... better luck next year?!?

The team's January 18 Divisional L against the Washington Commanders went viral in the face of LiAngelo Ball's "Tweaker" performance ... causing Cam'ron to question the Lions' marketing brand -- and their choice not to use Eminem or Big Sean!!!

Looks like Taylor Swift will be rolling stag to this weekend's Grammys ... TMZ Sports has learned her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, isn't making it out to Hollywood for the big event.

The Kansas City Chiefs star instead, sources familiar with the situation tell us, will be sticking with his team ... as it continues its preparations for its Super Bowl matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

Kelce's planned absence, of course, should surprise nobody ... as he also skipped out on being Taylor's plus-one for last year's Grammys -- in order to prep for the Chiefs' SB game against the 49ers.

14 people died and dozens of others were injured during the New Year's Day terror attack in New Orleans ... and now, as the NFL rolls into town for the Super Bowl, an organization made up of football wives is doing something awesome for the surviving family members.

The Off The Field NFL Wives Organization, co-founded by Sherice Brown, Tim Brown's wife, Ashley Brown, Ray Brown's wife, and Romonda Jordan, wife of Randy Jordan, will host a fashion show on February 7, themed "A Legacy of Strength and Resilience," at Canal Place.

The event will not only feature 50 WAGs of active and retired NFL players walking the runway ... but the family members of some of the people killed or injured during the terror attack will also model the clothes in front of the crowd!

Jets fans are going to love this ... one of Aaron Glenn's former players tells TMZ Sports New York's new head coach is going to have them winning games in no time!!

Lions star cornerback Amik Robertson raved over Glenn in a sit-down with us this week ... just days after the former Detroit defensive coordinator accepted the gig in the Big Apple.

Robertson told us Glenn was actually the reason he came to the Motor City from the Raiders this past offseason ... and he gushed over the way the 52-year-old allowed him to blossom this year.

The Philadelphia Eagles apparently have a helluva football team AND hearts of gold ... 'cause they just revealed they're gifting Super Bowl tickets to a New Orleans terror attack survivor.

The team -- which will face Kansas City in the Big Game on Feb. 9 -- surprised the man, Ryan Quigley, with the sweet present this week at their NovaCare Complex.

Quigley -- a college football player and huge Eagles fan -- suffered a broken leg and back, among other injuries, when a terrorist sped a truck through crowds on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day. His best friend, Tiger Bech, was tragically killed during the incident.

NFL kicker Justin Tucker is calling BS on allegations he was sexually inappropriate with massage therapists ... insisting the claims made against him this month are not true.

The Baltimore Banner reported Thursday that six masseuses at four different spas in the Baltimore-area have accused Tucker of misbehaving during massage sessions that happened between 2012 and 2016.

Tucker's accusers alleged the Ravens star would come in for therapy and at points during their work, he'd intentionally and repeatedly expose his genitals. They also claimed the 35-year-old, whose first season with Baltimore came in 2012, left ejaculate on their equipment following some treatments.

The NFL just released some more video of the aftermath of the Chiefs' big win Sunday ... and, you can see Taylor Swift was absolutely floored her boyfriend was heading back to the Super Bowl.

The footage -- put out by NFL Films on Wednesday -- shows the pop superstar, Travis Kelce and Donna Kelce all on the field in the minutes after Kansas City beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

The trio are talking about a key block Travis made for Patrick Mahomes ... when, suddenly, Taylor turns, and urges her man to bask in the moment.

Former Philadelphia Eagles great Jeremiah Trotter Sr. says it's an emotional time for his family after his son, Jeremiah Jr., made it to the Super Bowl ... telling TMZ Sports he knows just how proud his late wife would be of their child.

TMZ Sports spoke with the former All-Pro linebacker as he prepares to watch 22-year-old Trotter Jr. attempt to win the Lombardi Trophy in his first season in the league -- and he admitted the nerves he feels during his son's games are much stronger than how he felt during his own career.

"When I played, I can control the game," he said. "I can control certain aspects of the game or how I did. When you're watching your kids play, it's all on them. So you definitely get more nervous."
