Jerry Rice chased down a heckler on a golf course and got all up in their face ... and the way he ran after the guy made it look like Jerry could still hold his own in the NFL!!!

Ya gotta see the video ... Jerry is taking a swing at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe when a spectator starts chirping the NFL legend. Jerry spins around, looks for the heckler and dashes off the tee box to find him.

Jerry asks, "Which one? Which one?" as he sprints toward the heckler, who was hightailing it outta there.

Mike Tyson had his world flipped upside down at the ESPYs ... when he learned in real time Shohei Ohtani -- the biggest star in Major League Baseball -- is a man.

Iron Mike, Jake Paul and DJ Khaled presented the award for best single-game performance at Wednesday's event ... and when El Gallo said the Dodgers slugger sent "his gratitude and appreciation" for the win, Tyson's jaw dropped.

Right before the crowd clapped for Ohtani, who was not present for the ceremony, Tyson is heard on the hot mic asking his former boxing opponent if Sho-Time was really a dude.

Rick Ross is putting on his boss hat -- and dropping some straight-up career advice on LeBron James!

And, not necessarily for rings or highlights (not only, at least) ... but for the bag.

Marcello Hernández poked fun at the whole sports world during his 2026 ESPYs monologue ... and not even legends like Tiger Woods and Bill Belichick were safe.

The "Saturday Night Live" star/Wednesday night's host took the stage at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City ... and used the opportunity to throw silly zingers at Jake Paul, Jalen Brunson, the entire WNBA and more.

The biggest laughs of the 10-minute speech came at the expense of Tiger and Bill ... with Hernández joking the golf superstar will be on the cover of the next "Grand Theft Auto" video game, a clear shot at his March DUI rollover crash and arrest.

The ESPYs are here ... which means we get to see our favorite sports stars out of uniform and lookin' their best!

Simone Biles spoiled us by giving us a look at her gorgeous gams as she arrived at the David H. Koch Theater at NYC's Lincoln Center. She looked simply stunning in her champagne gown, which fabulously flaunted her assets.

Ilona Maher was a wonder in white, dropping jaws in her strapless dress and showing the Big Apple just how sexy it is to be strong.

Argentina is headed back to the FIFA World Cup final after pulling off a comeback for the ages against England ... and the photos from Wednesday's game in Atlanta capture every glorious -- and gut-wrenching -- second.

Among the unhappy England fans ... David and Victoria Beckham.

Argentina now faces Spain in Sunday's final in New Jersey ... where the defending champs will try to become the first country to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil in 1962.

Alysa Liu and A'ja Wilson are two elite athletes absolutely killing the game ... but they're also hot as hell when they're all dolled up.

And these gorgeous gals are about to be looking their very best for the ESPYS tonight, which begs the question: Who'd you rather?!

Both ladies are lovely, but which one is making a play for your heart? There's only one way to let us know ...

Mailson Araujo, a Brazilian bodybuilding influencer and rising pro, has died at just 35 years old ... days before he was set to take the stage.

The muscleman died on Monday after suffering a medical emergency at his home in Alagoinhas, Brazil, according to reports, despite the quick action of his mother, a nursing tech, who immediately rendered aid -- in addition to first responders.

Araujo was pronounced dead at the scene. His cause of death hasn't been announced.

The Davie Police Department just released images of the alleged injuries Geno Smith and his female employee sustained during an incident at his home ... fresh off the investigation being put on ice due to a lack of evidence.

In the pictures, Smith had three visible marks on his face ... and cops stated the New York Jets quarterback also had a bump on his head, although it's hard to spot in the snapshot taken at the scene.

As for the woman, there was a bloody abrasion between her thumb and index finger. She also had a notable bruise on her arm.

Aaron Donald's wife appears to be entering the "will he or won't he" chat ... going to social media to insinuate the recent rumblings of a potential comeback don't align with what she's been told.

Erica Donald -- who married the Super Bowl champ years ago -- shared a four-word statement on Tuesday ... and while it wasn't much, it was enough for folks to assume she's talking about her hubby's plans.

"I’m learning so much 🤣🤣🤣" Erica said on X.

Conor McGregor didn't let his devastating UFC 329 injury ruin his birthday -- the MMA superstar spent it toasting with his wife and vowing (again) to return to the Octagon.

Notorious shared the video on Tuesday ... showing him testing out his Mac Energy product with Dee Devlin to commemorate his 38th trip around the sun.

It was a chill and calm affair -- no flashy gifts, antics, or yachts ... just soaking in the moment with his ride or die on a patio.

Justin Verlander's final MLB All-Star Game came with one heck of a cheering section ... Kate Upton and the couple's two kids made a rare appearance for the baseball legend's summer send-off.

The notoriously private family stepped out together Tuesday night in Philadelphia ... with Kate joining Justin alongside daughter Genevieve and son Bellamy before the Midsummer Classic.

While Justin and Kate are no strangers to the spotlight, public appearances with the whole fam are few and far between.

Jermaine Eluemunor was born in London and didn't leave England until he was a teenager, so naturally the massive NY Giants offensive lineman's first love growing up was football -- but not the American type -- and the NFL star says there was a time he thought he'd go pro!

TMZ Sports talked to the 31-year-old offensive lineman on the eve of his native country's semifinal clash with Lionel Messi and Argentina ... where we chopped it up about the match (more on that in a sec), and his love of soccer.

"I've always been a huge fan of the game. I wanted to play when I was a little kid. I was just too big," the 6'4", 338 lb. tackle told Babcock.

The investigation into assault allegations made against Geno Smith has been put on ice ... with officials stating there's not enough evidence to move forward with the case.

According to the incident report, obtained by TMZ Sports, Smith told Davie (FL) police he was in the shower on June 21 when he heard commotion inside his home. After he got dressed, the New York Jets quarterback said he discovered his manager/son's caretaker inside the residence without his consent ... as he had previously requested she leave his kid with his mother at a guard gate to his community.

Smith explained the woman is his employee .... and while they occasionally engage in casual sex, they are not dating or have any children together.

Smith told cops the woman then started to leave the home with a bag in her hand, and he believed his personal items were inside it ... so he followed her to her vehicle. Smith claimed the woman began to punch and push him ... and he decided to enter her car to take her laptop as "collateral to whatever was in the bag which she took."

Devin Haney and his baby mama, Leena Sayed, hammered out a custody agreement ... and in the process, the boxer revealed his massive monthly income.

The exes also agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their one-year-old daughter, Khrome ... though Devin must have a professional nanny or his mother around when he's watching the kid ... at least until she's 3.
