Krayzie concludes ... "Never take life for granted enjoy it while have you have it! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers trust me I needed every last on [sic] of them."

AARON RODGERS JUGUETÓN GOLPE A TRAVIS KELCE "Sr. Pfizer"

Published | Updated

Aaron Rodgers se burló de Travis Kelce por el anuncio de la vacuna COVID-19 que ha estado apareciendo en la TV, refiriéndose a la superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs como "Mr. Pfizer".

El mariscal de campo de los New York Jets hizo el comentario durante su aparición semanal en "The Pat McAfee Show" el martes cuando decidió divertirse un poco mientras analizaba el desempeño de su equipo en Sunday Night Football contra Patrick Mahomes y compañía.

"Creo que hay cierto sentimiento de que hay una especie de victoria moral, además de gente comentando que nuestra defensa jugó bien", dijo Rodgers. "Pat no tuvo un buen partido y al "Sr. Pfizer" lo contuvimos bastante. No tuvo un gran impacto en el partido".

McAfee no pudo evitar estallar en carcajadas con el nuevo nombre de "AR8" para Kelce y su coanfitrión (y excompañero de equipo de los Packers de Rodgers) A.J. Hawk sonrió y negó con la cabeza.

Rodgers continuó el resto de su recapitulación con una sonrisa en la cara, sabiendo que su broma le gustó a los chicos del programa.

Mientras que todo parecía marchar bien, Rodgers se ahogaba en la controversia sobre la vacuna COVID-19. Recordemos que en una ocasión dijo que estaba "inmunizado" cuando se le preguntó acerca de si recibió el pinchazo en agosto de 2021.

Rodgers afirmó más tarde que era alérgico a ciertos componentes de las vacunas Moderna y Pfizer y estaba listo para recibir la inyección de Johnson & Johnson antes de que fuera retirada por causar coágulos de sangre.

Rodgers ha sido marginado por un desgarro en el tendón de Aquiles, por lo que asumimos que está tan molesto como todos acerca del comercial de Kelce que aparece a cada rato en los medios tiempos de los partidos y en TV.

Y si pensabas que íbamos a pasar todo un post sobre Kelce sin mencionarla... ¡sorpresa!

NIÑO DE 11 AÑOS LE DISPARA A SUS COMPAÑEROS DE EQUIPO Acusado por intento de asesinato

Published | Updated

Un jugador de fútbol juvenil de 11 años se enfrenta a un cargo de intento de asesinato en segundo grado después de presuntamente dispararle a dos de sus jóvenes compañeros de equipo en la práctica de esta semana en Florida.

TMZ Sports confirmó el incidente que ocurrió en el Northwest Recreation Center alrededor de las 8:20 PM del lunes, cuando tres niños estaban involucrados en una discusión después de la práctica que tomó un giro aterrador.

"El altercado continuó en el estacionamiento donde este menor tuvo acceso a un arma de fuego en el coche de su madre", dijo el jefe de policía de Apopka Mike McKinley durante una conferencia de prensa el martes.

Fue entonces cuando McKinley dijo que el sospechoso sin nombre (la policía no está revelando su identidad debido a su corta edad), que no tiene antecedentes penales, apretó el gatillo y le dio a sus dos compañeros de equipo.

Una de las víctimas fue alcanzada en el brazo y la otra sufrió heridas en la parte superior del cuerpo. Ambos chicos tienen 13 años.

"Disparó un solo tiro", dijo McKinley, "y ese único disparo alcanzó a ambas víctimas".

McKinley dijo que el joven sospechoso está acusado de un cargo de intento de asesinato en segundo grado (podrían añadirse más cargos) y el departamento también está estudiando la posibilidad de presentar cargos contra los padres que dejaron el arma en un lugar al alcance del niño.

"Es un crimen para permitir que sus hijos tengan acceso a su arma de fuego en una caja no segura", dijo el jefe McKinley.

En cuanto a la corta edad del tirador, el jefe dice que esta no es una posición en la que querían estar.

"Nadie quiere arrestar a un niño de 11 años, de ninguna manera, pero en base a nuestra investigación creemos que esos cargos están justificados".

Afortunadamente, se espera que las dos víctimas estén bien.

Aaron Rodgers Playful Jab At Travis Kelce ... 'Mr. Pfizer'

Published | Updated

Shots fired.

Aaron Rodgers took a playful jab at Travis Kelce over his COVID-19 vaccine commercial that's been popping up on everyone's TVs ... referring to the Kansas City Chiefs superstar as "Mr. Pfizer."

The New York Jets quarterback made the wisecrack during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday ... when he decided to have some fun while analyzing his team's performance on Sunday Night Football against Patrick Mahomes and co.

"I think there's some sentiment that there's some sort of moral victory out there that we hung with the champs and that our defense played well," Rodgers said. "Pat didn't have a crazy game and Mr. Pfizer, we kind of shut him down a little bit. He didn't have a crazy impact game."

McAfee couldn't help but burst out in laughter over AR8's new name for Kelce ... and his cohost (and Rodgers' former Packers teammate) A.J. Hawk grinned and shook his head.

Rodgers continued the rest of his recap with a smile on his face ... knowing his joke landed with the guys on the show.

While it all appeared to be in good fun, Rodgers was drowning in controversy over the COVID-19 vaccine -- remember, he infamously said he was "immunized" when asked about whether he got the jab in August 2021.

Rodgers later claimed he was allergic to parts of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines ... and was set to get the Johnson & Johnson shot before it was pulled for causing blood clots.

Rodgers has been sidelined with a torn Achilles since he went down in Week 1 ... so we're assuming he's just as annoyed as the regular folk are about the commercial popping up every media time-out.

And if you thought we were going to go a whole post about Kelce without mentioning her ... think again.

Damar Hamlin Mic'd Up In First Game Back ... 'We Did It'

Published

Damar Hamlin was showered with praise and encouragement in his first regular season game since suffering cardiac arrest in January ... and hot mics captured emotional conversations with teammates, opposing players and the man he credited with saving his life.

The Buffalo Bills safety took the field against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday ... and understandably, he was reminiscent of the moment his life changed forever during Monday Night Football nine months ago, as well as his journey back to playing condition.

25-year-old Hamlin had a special moment with Bills trainer Denny Kellington prior to kickoff ... with the staffer telling him, "Have fun today, brother."

"Love you, Denny," Hamlin replied.

Kellington is the man who performed CPR on Hamlin as a team of medical professionals fought to restore his heartbeat on Jan. 2 ... and Damar later referred to him as "the savior of my life."

Hamlin also had a conversation with Tua Tagovailoa after the Bills' 48-20 win ... with the Dolphins QB saying, "How you feeling, babe?"

"You guys keep going, man. We'll see you guys again ... best of luck, stay healthy."

Hamlin -- who revealed back in April his medical emergency was the result of commotio cordis -- was a part of special teams during the game ... taking the field for the majority of kickoffs and punts.

Youth Football Players 11-Yr-Old Arrested For Shooting Teammates ... Facing Attempted Murder

Published | Updated

An 11-year-old youth football player is facing a second-degree attempted murder charge after allegedly shooting two of his young teammates at practice this week in Florida.

TMZ Sports confirmed the incident with police who say it all happened at the Apopka (FL) Northwest Recreation Center around 8:20 PM on Monday ... when three kids were involved in an argument after practice that took a terrifying turn.

"[The altercation] continued into the parking lot where this juvenile had access to a firearm in his mother's car," Apopka police chief Mike McKinley said during a press conference on Tuesday.

That's when McKinley said the unnamed suspect (cops aren't releasing his identity because of his age), who doesn't have a criminal history, squeezed off a single round, striking his two teammates with a single shot.

One of the victims was hit in the arm and the other suffered injuries to the upper body. Both boys are 13.

"Fired one shot," McKinley said, "and that one shot hit both victims."

McKinley said the young suspect is being charged with one count of second-degree attempted murder (more charges could be tacked on) ... and the department is also looking at potentially pressing charges against the parents who left the gun in a place the child could reach it.

"It is a crime to allow your children to have access to your firearm in an unsecured box," Chief McKinley said.

As for the young age of the shooter, the chief says this isn't a position they wanted to be in.

"Nobody wants to arrest an 11-year-old, by any means, but based on our investigation we feel those charges are warranted."

The two victims are thankfully expected to be okay.

Amanda Serrano Women Can Box Three Minute Rds ... And I'll Prove It!!!

Published | Updated
Amanda Serrano
HISTORY IN THE MAKING

Amanda Serrano isn't only seeking a win next month, she's also looking to prove women absolutely can box 12 three-minute rounds, telling TMZ Sports the ladies can do it just like the men!

You may not even know ... female boxers don't go three-minute rounds, but rather fight for two minutes.

But, that's about to change when Serrano steps in the ring with Danila Ramos (12-2, 1 KO) on October 27 ... 'cause they're going the full three-minute rounds in Orlando ... the first female fighters to do so in 16 years!

"It's definitely been a long time since it happened," Serrano told us this week. "I'm excited."

"I have an amazing team backing me up that's pushing this fight and it about time we showcase now that I have this platform, now that I have this exposure to showcase that women can and will and capable of going 12, three-minute rounds."

Now, the reason behind WBC's rule is supposedly for the safety of the women, who are said to be at greater risk for head injuries. The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine once said "female athletes appear to sustain more severe concussions than male athletes, due in part to a lower biomechanical threshold tolerance for head impacts.”

Whether or not it's medically accurate, Serrano (45-2-1, 30 KOs) wants to fight three-minute rounds ... and hopes to show that's how it should always be going forward.

"It's two women going at it but you know I'm hoping to prove come October 27 that we can do it and we're gonna come out well and healthy," Serrano said.

Amanda Serrano
WOMEN CAN DO IT TOO

The bottom line ... Amanda says she's going to put on a helluva show in Orlando.

"It's gonna be an amazing night of nonstop action," the 34-year-old said. "You're gonna see me for three minutes, go out there and throw all my punches like I usually do!"

Let's go, ladies!

Disturbing School Video Teacher Knocked Out Cold ... After Student Throws Metal Chair At Her

Published | Updated

A Michigan teacher had a harrowing experience in school this week ... she was knocked unconscious by a metal chair throwing student.

The terrifying incident was captured on video Thursday afternoon in a classroom at Southwestern Classical Academy in Flint.

Check out the clip ... the instructor is standing in front of her class as one of the students yells at her from the side of the room.

It's not clear what the beef is about ... but, at some point, the student picks up the chair and throws it at the teacher, who gets clobbered in the head with it and drops like a sack of potatoes to the floor.

What's worse ... another student is heard cheering as the teacher lays unconscious.

The woman was eventually rushed to a hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released.

Southwestern Academy Superintendent Kevelin Jones wrote a letter to parents informing them about the attack, which was described as a "physical altercation between two scholars" that led to the teacher getting hurt.

In the letter, Jones did not indicate whether the unruly student was arrested by police and/or punished by the school.

We've reached out to Jones and the Flint Police Department for comment ... so far no word back.

COMPLETELY UNSUPERVISED

A 3-year-old girl shot herself with an unattended gun in a Florida home, and the horrific incident was caught on video.

Young looks up, totally stunned, and rushes over to Serenity to check out her injury and give her assistance. Other people dash into the room as total chaos ensues.

Young directs another person to get a belt to wrap around the bullet wound to stop the bleeding. He then escorts Serenity out of the living room, but soon returns to retrieve his gun from the couch before the video cuts off.

Serenity was eventually taken to a hospital, where she underwent surgery. She was released Tuesday and is now recovering at home.

As for Young, he was arrested for leaving his firearm unattended in the house. Prosecutors charged him with felony child neglect with great bodily harm.

Travis Hunter, Henry Blackburn Meet Days After Controversial Hit In Colorado Football Game

Published | Updated

There's clearly no beef between Travis Hunter and Henry Blackburn ... the star players linked up less than 2 weeks after the controversial hit in the Colorado vs. Colorado State game caused outrage among fans.

The two college football stars met this week ... and literally bro-hugged it out, as someone else filmed the interaction.

Remember, Blackburn laid the wallop on Hunter -- one of the most talented players in the country -- during the September 16th game. The issue ... the hit was late, and in many fans' minds, dirty. Henry wasn't called for targeting but did receive a penalty.

Hunter's Buffaloes won a double OT thriller, 43-35. But, they did it for most of the game with Travis ... who was seriously hurt in the collision with Blackburn.

In fact, the hit has already forced the receiver/cornerback to miss time with a lacerated liver.

As for Blackburn, a Colorado State captain, he's caught hell for the play ... even receiving death threats. University police are still investigating those threats.

Despite how people on the outside felt, there were signs right away that there wasn't any beef between Trav, the Colorado team and Henry. Even Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, asked fans to leave Blackburn alone.

"Travis Hunter has forgiven him. Let's move on. That kid does not deserve that, Sanders said last week.

Hunter agreed ... saying, "It’s football at the end of the day. Stuff like that gonna happen. He did what he was supposed to do. It's football."

And, looking at the guys together, it seems everything is all good!

Hunter's expected back on the field sometime over the next couple of weeks.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN POSPONE TODOS LOS CONCIERTOS DE 2023 A causa de úlcera péptica

Published

Bruce Springsteen ha suspendido todos sus conciertos para el resto del año mientras continúa recuperándose de su reciente problema de salud.

Springsteen & the E Street Band emitió un comunicado el miércoles, diciendo que el cantante "ha seguido recuperándose de manera constante de la enfermedad de úlcera péptica en las últimas semanas y continuará el tratamiento durante el resto del año siguiendo el consejo del doctor".

El grupo dice que todas las fechas restantes de 2023 tendrán que ser postergadas hasta el próximo año "por precaución" y las entradas pospuestas serán anunciadas durante la semana. Aquellos que no puedan venir al nuevo espectáculo podrán obtener un reembolso.

El propio Bruce añadió: "Gracias a todos mis amigos y fans por los buenos deseos, ánimos y apoyo. Estoy recuperándome y no puedo esperar a verlos a todos el año que viene".

Como informamos, "El jefe" anunció a principios de este mes que iba a tener que poner en pausa todos los conciertos de septiembre como consecuencia de los tratamientos que ha estado recibiendo para los síntomas de su enfermedad.

Bruce y compañía tenían conciertos programados para este mes en Nueva York, DC y Ohio además de otros conciertos en Canadá, Arizona y California para cerrar 2023. Ahora todo eso ha cambiado.

Bruce Springsteen Postpones All 2023 Concerts ... Amid Peptic Ulcer Disease

Published | Updated

Bruce Springsteen has pulled the plug on all concerts for the rest of the year while he continues to recover from his recent health issue.

Springsteen & the E Street Band put out a statement Wednesday, saying the singer "has continued to recover steadily from peptic ulcer disease over the past few weeks and will continue treatment through the rest of the year on doctor's advice."

The group says all remaining 2023 dates will have to be pushed to next year, "out of an abundance of caution" ... with the postponed dates being announced sometime next week. Those unable to come to the new show will be able to get a refund.

Bruce himself added, "Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I'm on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year."

As we reported, The Boss announced earlier this month that he was going to have to push pause on all September shows as a result of the treatments he's been getting for symptoms of his disease.

Bruce and co. had shows lined up this month for New York, DC, and Ohio ... with other concerts in Canada, Arizona, and California set to close out 2023. Now, that's all changed.

Colin Kaepernick Sent NY Jets Letter After Aaron Injury ... Asked To be Signed To Practice Squad

Published

Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to the general manager of the NY Jets days after Aaron Rodgers went down with a serious injury during MNF ... asking the organization to consider signing him to their practice squad.

News of the correspondence was actually broken by J. Cole ... who posted the typed note, sent to Joe Douglas, to his X account on Tuesday.

Previously, there were reports that Kap expressed interest in joining the squad ... but now we're looking at the entire letter.

"I'm writing, of course, in response to the unfortunate loss of Aaron Rodgers. I know the aspirations this season were, and still are, to win a championship, and so that Hall of Fame sized hole will need to be filled as best as possible to keep the team on a Super Bowl track," 35-year-old Kaepernick opened the letter.

But, if you thought he was seeking the starting gig from the jump, as barren as the Jets QB room currently is, you're mistaken.

Colin explained ... "As much as I would love the opportunity to fill that [starting] spot, I'm writing you in hopes that you can imagine a much different approach involving me; I would be honored and extremely grateful for the opportunity to come in and lead the practice squad."

"I would do this with the sole mission of getting your defense ready each week."

FYI, NFL teams all have "practice squads" ... consisting of 16 players who, you guessed it, practice with the team during the week, but do not dress for games.

It's a lot of sacrifice for little money or glory ... especially for a guy who was a star and even started a Super Bowl -- like Kap.

Kaepernick went on to say, if things didn't work with Zach Wilson (and let's be honest, it ain't working), he could be a backup plan (no pun intended) for the team.

"I believe a confident Zach Wilson has the tools to do this. However, in the event that this is not the case, I would love to offer you a risk-free contingency plan."

Despite not playing in the NFL since 2016 for the San Francisco 49ers, Colin believes he's still a top-tier signal caller.

"I am sure of my ability to provide you with an elite QB option if, God forbid, QB1 goes down."

Despite the long layoff, CK's adamant he's never stopped training, and is raring and ready to go.

"Unlike many of the veteran QB's that have been named in the media, I've never retired or stopped training."

Despite the letter, the Jets have obviously not signed Kap up to this point.

On Tuesday, the team signed Trevor Siemian to their practice squad.

Britney Spears Bandage on Arm & Cut Leg After Dancing with Knives

Published | Updated

Britney Spears may have cut herself when playing with knives ... now sporting a bandage and what appears to be a gash on her thigh and lower back.

Britney just posted the video, wearing the same outfit she was in when she spun around, jabbed and clanged together two butcher knives ... only this time she's got the new apparent injuries.

Britney doesn't explain why she's got the white bandage or what caused the cut on her upper thigh or lower back, but they're all new injuries since her first knife video Monday night.

As we told you ... Britney's got a fascination with knives. In fact, when she was taken off her conservatorship there were recommendations given in order to make sure she was safe. One of the most important recommendations was to keep knives away from Britney.

Our sources say she keeps the sharp tools throughout her house -- including inside her bedroom -- as a form of protection out of fear she'll be re-institutionalized.

CONNECTING THE DOTS

Of course, Britney claimed the knives in Monday's video were fake, but only after she got a ton of heat for posting the video online. They also sounded VERY real when she clanged them together.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.
