San Francisco 49ers

Christian McCaffrey isn’t crying over the 49ers' season ending early, he's counting his wins -- and they start at home.

The 2026 Pro Bowler popped up at Raising Cane's in Colma, California, to kick off Super Bowl LX festivities alongside his brother, Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey, where the NFL siblings went head-to-head in a playful "Raising Cane’s Challenge" … and even hopped behind the counter to serve fans in the drive-thru.

But while CMC was all smiles slinging chicken fingers, he got real with TMZ Sports about San Francisco falling short of a title run ... saying he has no hard feelings about how things played out.

George Kittle is usually the guy smiling through contact ... but even the NFL’s toughest tight end is admitting this one stings.

The San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro team captain tore his right Achilles on Sunday, ending his season during the team’s 23-19 victory to dethrone the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs.

Kittle later took to Instagram with a raw, emotional post of him and his wife, Claire, in the locker room, straight-up telling fans "football sucks sometimes."

Not exactly the rah-rah cliché you'd expect, but Kittle didn’t stop there.

The Pro Bowler made it clear he’s far from broken ... saying he loves the game, his teammates and is overwhelmed by the love pouring in.

"Heartbroken but have felt so much love and support from everyone reaching out," Kittle wrote. "I’ll be good. Thank you. We aren’t done yet!"

The grueling injury often takes about nine months to fully recover from -- placing the 32-year-old’s NFL future in jeopardy as he enters his 10th season.

Teammates such as Christian McCaffrey, Ricky Pearsall, Eddy Pineiro and Demarcus Robinson were among the flood of comments offering support to Kittle, who also seemingly confirmed reports of the bottle of Patrón delivered to the locker room after he was carted off.

Kittle said, "You know you’re in a special place" when team owner Jed York is the first person to meet you in the locker room. York was reportedly the one who sent the bottle.

Disgruntled San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk drew a lot of attention after sharing a video of himself driving by Levi's Stadium allegedly going 104 MPH ... and his actions have not just caught the eyes of those online ... but also the police.

A spokesperson for the Santa Clara Police Department tells TMZ Sports they are "aware" of the clip making rounds on social media.

"At this point, the video is being reviewed, and further details can be provided when available."

According to a local outlet, the speed limit on the road Aiyuk was seemingly flying down is 40 MPH, meaning he would have been driving 60 MPH over the legal speed limit.

Brock Purdy is in the giving mood this holiday season -- the 49ers quarterback gifted fans some brand spanking new cars and a whole bunch of cool items!!

The fourth-year quarterback teamed up with Toyota for the awesome moment ... bringing the families to the team facility to receive their new toys.

Purdy first revealed some goody bags, which included the team's new rivalry jerseys and a football.

49ers' Deommodore Lenoir was a no-show at a holiday toy drive for kids with Down Syndrome, according to a spokesperson for the event, who tells TMZ Sports the CB blew off the party ... but a rep for the player says that just ain't true!

The function was held on Monday in Santa Cruz, CA, where Lenoir was expected to collect toys for children with special needs, in partnership with SET Magazine, The Matthew Foundation, CelebEvents Inc., and Women of the NFL.

However, Lenoir didn't show up ... and organizers aren't happy, accusing the defensive back of ignoring their calls as they desperately tried to contact him, leaving the kids disappointed.

However, Lenoir's representative tells a different story, chalking the situation up to a misunderstanding and refusing to label it a "no-show."

George Kittle was looking to get the win AND seal the Honmoon on Sunday ... dancing his face off to a "KPop Demon Hunters" song right on the field during the 49ers' victory over the Giants!!

The star tight end was spotted waving his arm and bobbing his head as the Billboard chart-topping hit, "Golden," blared over the MetLife Stadium speakers at one point in the matchup ... and fans in attendance were quick to plaster the funny highlight all over social media.

The All-Pro talent was asked about his jam session during his postgame availability following the 34-24 W ... and he explained the massively popular Netflix project is worth a watch.

Ricky Pearsall and Brian Robinson Jr. have quite the unique bond -- they are both victims of gun violence ... and the San Francisco wide receiver said the two recently shared their experiences after the running back was recently traded to the 49ers.

Pearsall opened up about the conversation he had with his new teammate in an interview with talkSPORT ... saying they spoke about the topic once the Washington Commanders traded Robinson, their 2022 third-round draft pick, to the Bay Area.

"We actually just told each other our stories, I think that was last week, and being able to go back and reflect with someone that can directly relate to you ... and he mentioned you never know what you're going to do in that situation until you're in it," Pearsall said.

Love is in the air for NFL offensive lineman Drew Moss and Brock Lesnar's daughter, Mya ... the two just confirmed they're in a serious relationship!!!

Moss hard launched the romance on his Instagram this week ... sharing two photos of them at a recent wedding with the caption, "Forever wedding date❤️."

In one of the pics, they can be seen flashing big grins as they pose next to each other for a camera. In the other, Moss planted a big kiss on his boo's cheek.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Lenoir -- who recorded one forced fumble and two interceptions last season -- was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department at around 5:30 PM and was booked for resisting a peace officer a few hours later.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops approached Lenoir and a man named Marcus Cunningham when they observed vehicles double-parked and blocking traffic.

Olivia Culpo is making the most of the downtime she has left before becoming a first-time mother ... getting some R&R with her girlfriends during a chill getaway -- and showing off her growing baby bump in the process.

Culpo shared her photo dump Tuesday morning ... seemingly hitting up the part of the country she used to call home with her husband, Christian McCaffrey, back when he was a member of the Carolina Panthers.

OC made sure her belly was prominent in almost every photo. While it's unclear how far along the 33-year-old is, a baby shower was held in Rhode Island in May ... and based on the visual clues, we take it the little one's coming sooner than later.

Steph Curry has range both on the court and off it -- 'cause the NBA superstar was hitting the high notes during Benson Boone's BottleRock set over the weekend!!

Video of the Golden State Warriors guard's jam session at the music festival in Napa Valley made rounds recently ... showing the four-time NBA champion documenting the singer's passionate rendition of his viral track, "Beautiful Things," on his phone -- all while crooning along!!

It looked like Curry was having an absolute blast ... rocking a stylish hat and smiling as he gazed up at the performance. No word on whether he went home to rehearse Boone's signature onstage flip -- but for Dubs fans' sake, we hope he didn't.

Shane Gillis had some familiar faces in the crowd for "Saturday Night Live" this weekend ... as San Francisco 49ers stars Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk were present for his hosting gig.

Kittle posted the trio's NYC adventure to his Instagram page on Sunday night ... sharing some behind-the-scenes flicks from Studio 8H -- including a selfie with Mike Myers, who played Elon Musk in the episode.

The group also posed together for a picture on the iconic stage ... and despite Shane rocking a Philadelphia Eagles hat -- who beat the 49ers in the 2023 NFC Championship game -- the guys were all smiles.

Brandon Aiyuk's a speed demon on the gridiron ... but, he had to go very slow earlier this week -- 'cause a cop pulled him over in a new car thinking he may have stolen it.

Here's the deal ... Aiyuk recently purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk -- an SUV valued at around $90K. He drove it straight off the truck, and he says within two miles a cop pulled him over.

Aiyuk filmed his chat with the cop ... who mentions the wide receiver was cited for driving unregistered Dodge Chargers in California -- cars the officer says are routinely a target for thieves.

The NFL offseason is in full swing, and George Kittle is taking full advantage of his break from football ... not only sitting ringside for WWE's Raw, but also getting in on the action!

The 49ers star-tight end swung by the WWE event in Nashville Monday night ... hopping in the ring with the promotion's newest superstar and good friend -- Penta.

Rocking a red and gold luchador mask, the two entertained the crowd by hitting Penta's "Cero Miedo" line, which Kittle sometimes uses during his games. The two initially met in 2018 in New Orleans when WrestleMania was in town ... where they hit it off.

Ricky Pearsall is making 2025 a year of forgiveness ... saying he wants to forgive the teenager who shot him during a botched armed robbery in San Francisco, and wouldn't mind talking to the shooter.

The 49ers rookie opened up on his whirlwind rookie season during cleanout day at the team facility -- after his squad missed out on the postseason -- and as harrowing as the August robbery attempt was, the 24-year-old WR isn't making judgments about the teen's character.

"I don't know how he grew up," Pearsall said. "I can't judge him as a man just based off one action that he made. As violent as a crime as it was, god forbid him doing that to somebody else."

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was more like Santa Paws this holiday season ... 'cause he treated team WAGs Olivia Culpo and Kristin Juszczyk to some pet-centric gifts -- personalized portrait rugs of their beloved furry pets!!!

TMZ Sports has learned Kittle contacted designer Angel Arreola to make special pieces for the wives of his teammates, Christian McCaffrey and Kyle Juszczyk.

The theme was pretty obvious ... their four-legged friends.
