JUST ACCEPT HIM
TMZSports.com

When it comes to Colin Kaepernick, New Orleans Saints star Cameron Jordan says one thing's for sure -- "There's quarterbacks less talented playing [in the NFL]."

Jordan knows a little something on the topic ... he's made the Pro Bowl 3 times making life a living hell for QBs.

So, when we saw him out in Bev Hills (nice Manchester United jersey, BTW) we had to ask about Kaep's current employment status.

It's pretty clear Jordan supports Colin and thinks he belongs in the league.

Meantime, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll recently said the team is still considering signing Kaep -- despite 86ing a workout earlier this month because Colin wouldn't commit to ending his kneeling demonstration.

We'll see ...

Odell Beckham Pulls 5,600-Pound Denali ... Up a Hill

042318_obj_kal
AMERICAN MUSCLE

Here's Odell Beckham Jr. proving he's stronger than you ... pulling a 5,600-pound SUV up an incline with a rope!

The New York Giants wide out was doing some strength training drills with some pals in New Orleans -- which apparently included pulling a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali. The vehicle generally weighs between 5,600 and 5,800 pounds.

We're guessing (hoping) there was also an adult in the driver's seat to hit the brakes when the car got close to Odell ... so tack on another 200 pounds.

Odell's been working out like a maniac recently -- even hitting the gym with Dez Bryant in L.A.

Giants fans ... excited yet?

Lamar Odom Getting Swole at Gold's Gym ... Comeback in the Works?

It looks like Lamar Odom could be gearing up for a return to the hardwood ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

No, Lamar ain't crushin' it on the court ... but it's pretty clear the ex-Lakers star was getting back in game shape at the Gold's Gym in Glendale, L.A. earlier this week.

In the video, Odom hits the weights like a boss -- pumping out sets on his bis, tris and shoulders under the close watch of an apparent personal trainer.

Yeah, we know it ain't exactly "Rocky" ... but it's a great sign considering we've only really seen Lamar partying since he left rehab.

Remember -- L.O. first expressed interest in joining the Cube's BIG3 league last summer ... and just a couple months ago, told us he wanted in THIS SEASON to honor his late friend, Rasual Butler.

Better keep droppin' sweat, bro -- Season 2 tips off in June!

Ex-NFL Star Cullen Jenkins I Took Vicodin to Get Through Games ... Then I Found CBD

NATURAL CURE
TMZSports.com

Ex-NFL player Cullen Jenkins says the pain he went through during his career forced him to rely on prescription pills and alcohol to feel better ... but tells TMZ Sports he's finally found a healthier alternative -- CBD.

FYI -- cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the 113 active cannabinoids identified in cannabis, but doesn't have any psychoactive effects like recreational weed.

Jenkins -- who played 13 seasons in the NFL -- says towards the end of his career, he had to take 4 Advil and 2 Tylenol before every practice ... but thanks to his family introducing him to Fresh Farms CBD, he says he's pill-free and much happier.

Jenkins says the NFL needs to at least consider allowing players to use CBD to heal ... and says he knows firsthand how much it can improve their careers on and off the field.

Justin Bieber WWJD? Show Compassion for the Less Fortunate

Justin Bieber is showing compassion for folks who are down on their luck ... and this could have religious overtones.

Bieber was spotted Wednesday plopping himself down onto an L.A. sidewalk after a SoulCycle sesh to chat up a homeless man and woman who were sleeping on the pavement.

We're not sure what he was talking to them about, but he was clearly interested in what they had to say ... and was in no rush to wrap up the convo.

It's hard to ignore the fact that this is one of the holiest weeks of the year for Christians, and Justin has steeped himself in church life.

Ronda Rousey Floyd Fighting MMA Is 'All Talk' ... He'd Get Crushed!

Ronda Rousey says Floyd Mayweather taking an MMA fight is NEVER gonna happen ... 'cause he'd get his ass handed to him inside the Octagon!

Ronda straight laughed off Floyd's apparent interest in fighting for the UFC on "Golic and Wingo" Tuesday ... telling them why she thinks it's "all talk."

"That'll never happen ... I don’t think he’d do well in MMA at all,” Rousey said.

The topic was brought up 'cause of her transition to WWE, as well as Conor McGregor's temporary move to boxing.

Ronda clearly doesn't think all career switches are created equal ... and/or still doesn't think highly of Mayweather, even though he tried to squash their beef last year.

FYI, Tyron Woodley and Floyd have told us they're about to get down with some serious training ... but other MMA stars, like Chael Sonnen, also don't see TBE making the jump.

Sylvester Stallone's Wife Sly's Pull-Ups Are No Biggie ... Do You Guys Even Lift?

MUSCLES FOR YEARS

Sylvester Stallone rippin' pull-ups with a 100-POUND ANCHOR impressed the hell outta us ... but not Sly's wife, Jennifer Flavin, who says it's really ain't no thang!

Don't get it twisted -- Jenn wasn't sneezin' at Stallone's geriatric feats of strength ... where he pumped out 3 reps (give or take) with the weight of a small human tied around his waist.

"That's my man. Yeah, that's my man," Flavin told TMZ Sports

Sly Stallone
FEEL THE BURN

But when it came to the shock factor of the 71-year-old muscling up like Rocky in his prime, she couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

"He's strong. He's been working out his whole life!"

In fact, Jenn says what all us normies gotta do to be like Sly is start hitting the gym!

Right ...

David Ortiz Tom Brady's Diet = 'Suffering' ... I'd Rather Enjoy Life

HE'S MISSIN' OUT!!!
PARDON MY TAKE

Tom Brady's crazy-strict diet might work for him, but David Ortiz says he'd never touch the TB12 Method 'cause it's straight-up torture!

Big Papi went deep on his post-MLB eating habits in a recent interview ... admitting he CRUSHES everything his wife, Tiffany, puts in front of him (especially seafood).

But when it came to Brady's high-H2O, low-fun diet -- Papi letarip!!

"I was born one day and I know I'm gonna die another, so I'm gonna enjoy life," Ortiz told the Barstool Sports guys on "Pardon My Take."

"You're gonna tell me my boy, Brady, he's not suffering because of the diet?"

Gotta side with Papi on this one -- Tom's daily regimen consists of 3 waters after every beer, plus zero white salt/sugar, olive oil, caffeine, dairy OR fruit, except for bananas!!

Yeah ... we're good.

Mark Wahlberg & Gronk Garden Gun Show!! ... at Miami Restaurant

BRANCHING OUT

Rob Gronkowski and Mark Wahlberg officially went GANG GREEN on Tuesday ... but don't freak, Pats fans -- we ain't taking about the Jets.

Marky Mark and the NFL superstar hit up David Grutman's new plant-based restaurant Planta in Miami for a completely green meal ... and even hand-picked their own herbs from the rooftop garden.

FYI -- the camera crew is filming for Mark's reality show, Wahlburgers.

Of course, the 2 health freaks used it as an opportunity to show off their guns. (Who says ya need meat to be ripped?)

The bros that garden together ...

Colin Kaepernick Ripping Passes In Houston ... 'Training Every Day'

031518_colin_kaepernick_v2_kal
BACK ON THE GRIND

Colin Kaepernick wants everyone to know he's still NFL ready ... and he's showing off his rocket arm during a training session in Houston.

Kaepernick hit the field with Josh Hidalgo -- Head of Sports Performance at William Paterson University -- and threw some darts with a team of pass catchers.

Hidalgo says he's been training Kaep every single day since January 2017 -- adding, "We haven't stopped throwing, training and preparing."

"To say he's dedicated is an understatement ... Even when we’re traveling we put in that work."

Kaepernick hasn't taken a snap in the NFL since 2016 -- before he parted ways with the San Francisco 49ers.

Kaep has said he wants to get back in the league and compete for a starting job again -- and now he wants the world to see he's still got the talent that took him to the Super Bowl.

MAKING MONEY MOVES?

"Don't sleep on Floyd Mayweather" when it comes to MMA ... because the guy can REALLY wrestle -- so says Floyd's hired muscle.

We spoke with Floyd's personal private security force -- Jizzy Mack and Greg La Rosa -- and asked them how their boss is prepping for his MMA debut.

The guys say they haven't seen Floyd training with UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley yet -- but acknowledge "he's a beast" and would definitely be the man to get Floyd UFC-ready.

But, the most interesting part ... both guys claim Floyd has legit ground skills.

"Floyd's tough all around ... he can wrestle."

These guys spend MOST of their lives right by Floyd's side -- from traveling to the gym -- and they would know how Floyd's been training for his rumored transition into MMA.

As for Tyron, he says he's spoken with Floyd and agreed to train him -- and even spelled out how his training camp would go on "The Hollywood Beatdown."

71-Year-Old Sly Stallone Pumpin' 100-Pound Weighted Pull-Ups ... 'Another Easy Workout!'

Sly Stallone
FEEL THE BURN

Get ready to throw away your Girl Scout cookies, normies ... 'cause Sylvester Stallone's out here muscling 100-POUND WEIGHTS in his private gym -- and crushin' it like Rocky in his prime!!

Hard to believe, but Sly's already 71 years old ... but that hasn't slowed down his workout routine, clearly.

Regular pull-ups (or chin-ups if you're a workout nut) ain't enough for the senior Italian Stallion ... so, he strapped the weight of a small human around his waist and LETARIP!!!

What's even more shocking ... Sly captioned the vid -- "Another easy workout! You’re only as old as you and your joints feel!"

Not as savage as the 1-armed pull-ups ... but pretty damn impressive.

Bellator's Justin Wren Mount Kilimanjaro Kicked My Ass Worse Than Any Fight Has!!

EPIC CLIMB
TMZSports.com

Bellator MMA star Justin Wren says he just suffered the worst physical beating of his life -- but it didn't go down inside a cage!

Justin's fought 15 heavyweight behemoths in his career, but tells TMZ Sports none of those beatdowns come close to what Mount Kilimanjaro did to him a few weeks ago.

In case you missed it, "The Big Pygmy" scaled the near-20,000-foot mountain with Super Bowl champ Chris Long and some of his NFL bros ... all to raise awareness for the water crisis in Africa.

Wren says that at one point, they had to climb for 20 HOURS STRAIGHT ... and some of their crew were forced to tap out (don't worry, they were stretched down).

But the coolest part of the trek -- Wren says he signed his new Bellator contract at Kili's summit!

Ya gotta hear the play-by-play ...

UFC's Chris Weidman Warns LeBron ... I'm Training Enes Kanter!

CROSSIN' SPORTS

LeBron better start knucklin' up ... 'cause the baller he's been beefin' with is getting boxing lessons from a UFC superstar!!

That superstar is former middleweight champ Chris Weidman -- who came through Knicks practice on Wednesday to chill with his hometown hoops squad ... including Bron's trash-talkin' rival, Enes Kanter.

Weidman shot around with Enes -- but it looks like they had more fun strappin' on the gloves to get the Turkish big man ready for a potential throwdown with the King.

"Hey @kingjames, I've been training my guy @eneskanter11. Best think twice before messing with the Orange and Blue again," Chris tweeted at LeBron.

FYI, Kanter called LBJ a "queen" and a "princess" after they got in each other's faces in November ... and trolled him after a game last month, too.

Stipe Miocic is from Cleveland, Bron -- might be time to reach out.

Joe Jonas Goes Surfing Down Under ... The Struggle is Real

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED ...

Joe Jonas tried to take a stand in Australia -- on his surfboard -- and he eventually got there ... for about 2 seconds.

The DNCE singer went out looking to ride some waves at Bondi Beach Friday, but even with the help of a surfing instructor ... he couldn't quite get his body moves to sync up.

You gotta admire the Jonas bro's determination, though -- he kept hopping back up on his board even after eating it several times, and it finally paid off ...

At least enough to pose for some "hang loose" pics.

Winter Olympics Alpine Skiers Want to Hook-Up Most Says Dating App

PyeongChang's Olympic village is hook-up central for alpine skiers ... who are hitting the dating app, Bumble, as hard as they hit the slopes.

Bumble says most competitors -- from all countries, not just the U.S. -- have seen a 50% spike in swipes since the games started a little over a week ago. Translation: someone's gotta help you "stretch" on your off days, right?

That mostly applies to athletes who love going downhill -- Bumble says the alpine skiers are getting more hook-up action than their fellow Olympians. According to the app ... hockey players rank second, freestyle skiers and cross-country skiers tie for third. Snowboarders and ski jumpers bring up the rear.

Ya won't get crucial stats like that on NBC!

It's also good info to keep in mind while watching the Games. You're welcome.
