Tom Brady's fishing around in the South of France ... snorkeling with a mystery woman while proving he's still quite the catch himself.

The NFL hopped off his superyacht Wednesday and took a dip in the sea ... stripping down to a tiny pair of swim trunks and putting his shredded retirement bod on display before grabbing a mask and snorkel.

And TB12 wasn't taking the plunge alone ... a mystery woman suited up for some underwater exploring, too ... joining Tom under the surface.

Stefon Diggs is returning to his old stomping grounds -- the free-agent wide receiver is expected to sign with the Washington Commanders.

The reports dropped Wednesday morning ... with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport saying the deal is worth more than $10 million.

The move now puts the former All-Pro target with another rising star in the NFL -- Jayden Daniels, who is entering his third season in the league.

Conor McGregor is officially on the mend after injuring his ACL against Max Holloway ... The Notorious says he went under the knife this week, and the surgery was a success!

The UFC superstar posted the update fans were waiting for, declaring on Instagram ... “Surgery went excellent. I am confident.”

McGregor tore his ACL and meniscus in his right knee during his highly anticipated comeback fight at UFC 329 last month ... injuring the leg during the opening seconds of the scrap.

Referee Mike Beltran officially called the fight off after 69 seconds.

It's not the first time McGregor has suffered the same injury. Coincidentally, he injured his ACL in his first fight against Holloway in 2013.

Dr. Tony Fauci's lawyer is firing back at Aaron Rodgers ... after the 4x NFL MVP went nuclear on the polarizing health official earlier this week.

"Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He should stick to football,” Fauci's attorney, David Schertler, told The Athletic ... in response to the future Hall of Famer's brutal comments earlier this week on Pat McAfee's show.

Of course, Rodgers WENT IN on the country's leading COVID-19 doc, after he refused to answer questions during a hearing on Capitol Hill.

“I’m gonna plead the Fifth," Aaron said, "like that absolute coward Tony Fauci. Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? You got a pardon and you pleaded [the Fifth] over 100 times [on Capitol Hill]? What are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the science? 'I am science,' and you get up there and can't answer a question?"

Aaron didn't stop there. He went on to blast TF as an "absolute criminal."

The Steelers also reacted to AR's comments ... but unlike Schertler, no "shut up and dribble" vibes here.

"Discussions around culture and politics can bring differing perspectives, and our players are entitled to their own personal views," a Steelers spokesman said on Tuesday. "With respect to that, I'm certain there are a variety of opinions on many topics within our locker room."

Fauci wasn't Aaron's only target ... he also took a shot at Dianna Russini, accusing ESPN of failing to cover the offseason scandal.

Ex-Olympian David Hearn says President Trump's big mouth makes him wary of Jeanine Pirro dismissing his Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism case but keeping open the possibility of bringing it again ... he says it needs to go away for good, because he doesn't trust Trump to snuff out the witch hunt torches.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Hearn says the case against him has always been political and devoid of any strong facts ... and he says Trump is doing little to lower the temperature.

After Pirro moved to drop the charges, Trump said she "choked" under pressure ... and he continues to bang the drum that the Reflecting Pool was damaged by vandals, not shoddy installation -- as Pirro said in her papers.

Mackenzie Dern's UFC champion, but she hasn't come close to accomplishing all her goals ... 'cause the MMA star says she wants to be the greatest ever in her division!

The strawweight champ stopped by the TMZ Sports office for a chat with Babcock ahead of her UFC 330 scrap with Gillian Robertson.

Dern made it clear she’s aiming way higher than just a successful title defense.

WWE Hall of Famer Dory Funk Jr. -- one of the longest-reigning world champions in professional wrestling history -- is dead.

Triple H announced Dory's death Tuesday ... paying tribute to the wrestling legend and saying Dory's hard-nosed style inspired countless performers and helped lay the early foundation for pro wrestling to become a global phenomenon.

He said Dory's impact stretched far beyond his own matches ... pointing to the decades Dory spent training younger athletes for life inside the squared circle.

Luka Doncic's ex-fiancée is dropping her court case over child support for their two children, TMZ Sports has learned.

In court docs Anamaria Goltes submitted Monday that were obtained by TMZ, she requested a Los Angeles judge dismiss her request without prejudice, reasoning ... "I am withdrawing my Petition for Child Support with the specific intention of resolving this matter amicably and by a mutual agreement which is in the best interests of our children."

Anamarie's request to dismiss was rejected by the court, due to the paperwork missing Luka's signature.

As TMZ first reported, the NBA star moved to dismiss the case -- arguing that her petition for child support and attorneys' fees had no legal grounds because it was filed in California ... when the kids live in Slovenia.

Brock Lesnar is officially hanging it up.

The Beast Incarnate made the major announcement during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and made it crystal clear -- his Hell in a Cell loss to Oba Femi at SummerSlam this past weekend in Minneapolis was the final match of his legendary career.

“I’m here today to let the world know that I am retired and I wanted to say a big thank you to everybody,” Lesnar told Pat and A.J. Hawk. “Saturday was a very emotional day for me.”

It's not the first time Lesnar has said he's done with wrestling -- but this feels different.

Annemarie Wiley is ripping Emmanuel Acho for calling her "dumb as hell" over how she handled alleged abuse in her marriage ... saying attacks like Acho's are exactly why domestic violence victims stay silent.

The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star fired back Monday on Instagram ... accusing Acho of spewing "disgusting and disturbing things" about her and her family.

Annemarie says Acho has no clue what women, mothers and victims endure while trying to protect their children ... or escape situations that seem impossible to leave.

Martha Reeves called out her backup singers during anthem rehearsal ... but game time brought no pitch-perfect turnaround.

TMZ has obtained video of the Motown legend practicing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the Women's Pro Baseball League debut ... and the rehearsal was nearly as rocky as the rendition that later had people piling on.

At one point, Martha stops the singers and declares, "That’s out of tune" ... before asking who's singing the same note as her.

Georgina Rodriguez is firing back at trolls criticizing her bikini body in recent yacht photos ... she says her curves don't determine her worth.

Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancée addressed the online chatter Tuesday in a lengthy Instagram post ... revealing some people have been calling her "fat" over pictures from the couple's Mallorca getaway.

Georgina said the criticism worried her at first because she makes a living from her image ... but Cristiano quickly reminded her she's much more than her appearance.

According to Georgina, the soccer superstar told her ... "You don't live off your image. You live off who you are," before praising her as a mother, a good person and a successful woman with a "killer body."

Shots fired between Megyn Kelly and Dave Portnoy ... they're locked in a social media scrap over Caitlin Clark's stance -- or lack thereof -- about transgender athletes in women's sports.

Here's the deal ... the WNBA superstar got feisty with a reporter who asked her thoughts on teammate Sophie Cunningham's controversial comments against "biological men" competing against young girls in sports. Basically, Caitlin gave a non-answer and, when pressed, told the reporter to kick rocks.

Megyn, the ultra-conservative media personality, blasted Caitlin as a "coward" for dodging the question ... and in rode Portnoy to defend CC ... saying, "Absolute moron/idiot to call Caitlin a coward for this answer. 1st of all, you don't even know how she feels on this issue and more importantly, she doesn't owe it to you or anybody else to be your political talking point."

Soulja Boy is backpedaling on wanting to fight Kai Cenat ... but if the two were to ever enter the boxing ring together, the rapper tells TMZ Sports it would be an easy victory!!

The 36-year-old artist and entrepreneur recently went to X to issue his initial callout ... apparently the result of getting snubbed from Cenat's Streamer University, a popular training experience for content creators.

Soulja unleashed on Cenat over it all ... saying, "I challenge yo short p**** ass to a boxing match weak ass n**** @KaiCenat," and some other not-so-nice things.
