Tom Brady Re-Runs 40-Yard Dash ... Faster At 46 Than At 22!!!
Father Time is still clearly losing his battle with Tom Brady ... 'cause the NFL legend just revealed he's actually faster now at 46 years old than when he was at 22!!
The former quarterback decided to re-run a 40-yard dash following a shoot with his new "NoBull" company recently ... just to see if after all these years, he could move a bit quicker than when he was trying to get noticed by NFL teams at the 2000 Combine.
Had to bring back the 🐐's legendary Combine highlights 🔥

Brady wasn't sure if he could beat his now-infamous mark of 5.28 seconds ... saying prior to the run to his buds, "Let's see if we can level up."
Turns out, though, he does, indeed, have better wheels these days!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Check out the footage of the sprint ... the two who timed Brady's jaunt had him at 5.18 seconds and 5.12 -- both clear improvements from when he was a little-known signal-caller who had just wrapped up his Michigan career.
Brady's "NoBull" business partner, Mike Repole, could hardly believe the times ... joking with TB12, "If you do that 25 years ago, you get drafted in the third round!"
Of course, being better with age is nothing new for Brady. Four of his seven Super Bowl wins came AFTER he turned 37 years old -- with his final title coming following his 43rd birthday.
Seems Brady's got his eyes on being even better in 2025 -- saying, "Next year, it's going to be faster!"

Kristin Cavallari's wasted no time leaning into her new relationship with Mark Estes ... in fact, the lovebirds have already wrapped up their first getaway in Cabo together.
Check out these pics ... Kristin and her 24-year-old boo were spotted Wednesday rolling their suitcases to the American Airlines priority desk at the airport -- and the reality star was rocking a casual matching black set ... ME opted for a cozy hoodie.
They're not really flashing the biggest of smiles here -- if anything, you could say it's kinda the opposite -- but it's probably just the post-vacay blues kicking in ... Cabo can do that to ya. Plus, traveling tends to wear folks out ... so their mopey moods are nothing to fret.
While their vacay is over ... it seems Kristin and Mark are still very much in the honeymoon phase. In fact, on Tuesday, Kristin went full-on IG official with Mark, declaring how happy he makes her in a super cute selfie.
This came shortly after we got photos of them heading on down to Mexico together last Friday ... remember, this was supposed to be a business trip for Kristin, but Mark decided to tag along. So, a little work and play, it seems!
We've been told Kristin and Mark have been enjoying each other's company for about a month now -- and things are clearly moving along swimmingly between them.
Kristin definitely has a thing for those hot dude model types. She previously dated Tyler Cameron after her marriage to Jay Cutler ended.

Jennifer Coolidge Taylor y Travis tienen un pase por su cita... Aunque entiendo la molestia de PETA
Jennifer Coolidge le está dando el beneficio de la duda a Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce cuando se trata de juzgar su cita en el zoológico de Sydney, a pesar de que cree que PETA tiene razón en desaprobarlo.
La estrella de "The White Lotus" estaba en LAX cuando un fotógrafo le preguntó sobre la polémica cita de Travis y Taylor, que está provocando la ira de PETA.
Jennifer dice que los tortolitos deberían tener un pase por varias razones: no cree que pensaran mucho en ir al zoológico y solo querían hacer algo romántico juntos.
Como una gran partidaria de PETA, dice que Taylor y Travis parecen ser amantes de los animales y no va a condenarlos por esto. Pareciera estar caminando una línea muy fina aquí, como una gran fan y también como una gran amante de los animales.
Como hemos informado, PETA dijo que la famosa pareja debería buscar en otra parte la próxima vez que deseen estar cerca de los animales y sugirió que visiten un santuario de animales en lugar de un zoológico.
PETA también se opuso a que la pareja alimentara a un canguro en el zoológico de Sydney, diciendo que era perjudicial para ellos hacer eso.
Jennifer se detiene en criticar demasiado duramente a Taylor y Travis, pero dice que, en última instancia, está de acuerdo con lo que PETA dice sobre el asunto. Es bastante divertido verla luchar con este dilema en cámara, se puede ver que los ama y no quiere criticarlos.
En pocas palabras, Jennifer parece estar tomando un enfoque más diplomático que algunos.
Jennifer Coolidge Taylor, Travis Get Pass For Zoo Date ... But I Get Why PETA's Upset
Jennifer Coolidge is giving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their Sydney Zoo date ... even though she says PETA is right to disapprove.
The "White Lotus" star was at LAX when a photog asked her about Taylor and Travis' controversial date idea, which is drawing PETA's ire.
Jennifer says the lovebirds should get a pass for a few reasons ... she doesn't think they put a lot of thought into going to the zoo and were just looking for something romantic to do together.
A big PETA supporter herself, Jennifer says Taylor and Travis seem like fellow animal lovers ... and isn't going to condemn them here. She's kinda walking a fine line here -- huge fan, but also ... big animal lover.
As we reported ... PETA says the famous couple should look elsewhere the next time they're in the mood to be around animals, suggesting they hit up an animal sanctuary instead of a zoo.
PETA also took issue with the couple feeding a kangaroo at the Sydney Zoo ... saying it was harmful to the animal to do that.
Jennifer's stopping short of calling out Taylor and Travis too hard ... but says she ultimately agrees with whatever PETA says on the matter. It's pretty funny to see her wrestle with this dilemma on camera ... you can tell she loves them, and doesn't wanna slam 'em.
Bottom line ... Jennifer seems to be taking a more diplomatic approach than some.

Kirk Cousins Gets Titanium & Gold Grillz ... 'Will Add Some Bling!!!'
-
Exclusive Details
- 23 shares
Kirk Cousins fans lost it when the quarterback showed off his new gold grill this week, but get this -- it's not even a finished product yet -- according to his dentist who tells TMZ Sports he still plans to add bling!
The Minnesota Vikings QB recently shared a photo of his new gold fronts on Instagram, shouting out Dr. Ryan Lebster for the "great work" ... that even got Justin Jefferson's approval.
Dr. Lebster, a practicing dentist for over 20 years, told us he started working with the Pro Bowl QB after Cousins called him and commissioned a grill during this past NFL season.
Cousins went into Dr. Lebster's Michigan office this week to finally try 'em on -- and he loved the grill!
"I made them from a dentist's viewpoint," Dr. Lebster said about the fun process. "They're strong, thin, and durable titanium with gold."
"I did it digitally instead of the gold casting technique. A quicker way to get them done."
Even though the grills are dope just the way they are, Dr. Lebster says he's not finished with the wearable jewelry. He plans to upgrade the mouthpiece.
"I'm not done yet," Dr. Lebster said, "I'm gonna bling them out soon."
The price tag for Kirk's grill remains a secret ... but Dr. Lebster said it'd likely run a few thousand bucks!
Of course, Cousins' "love" for jewelry started a couple of seasons ago ... when the 35-year-old started wearing his teammate's iced-out chains after a Vikings win.
That new side of Kirk got a ton of love from Vikings fans and earned the 4x Pro Bowler the nickname "Kirko Chainz" ... and now, aka "Kirko Grillz!"

"This was our ideal, dream day," Iman told VOGUE. "A handful of people attended the wedding ... and we chartered a yacht to sail from island to island in the Caribbean Sea."
Iman, 33, and Godchaux, 29, set sail to several surrounding islands following the wedding, including St. Barths ... and plan to return to Anguilla for their honeymoon at Cap Juluca.
"We celebrated for three days on our charter, island hopping and making stops at beach clubs, where it all started," Iman said.
The couple first revealed they were together after Shepard filed for divorce from Iman in 2021. Chanel got pregnant in May 2023 ... and Godchaux proposed shortly after.
They welcomed their baby girl, Capri Summer, last September.
Congrats!!!

Taylor Swift Made Pop-Tarts For Chiefs O-Line!!! ... Andy Reid Missed Out
Taylor Swift really knew how to win over Travis Kelce's teammates ... 'cause Kansas City head coach Andy Reid just revealed she baked homemade Pop-Tarts for the Chiefs' offensive linemen -- and they were so good, he couldn't get his hands on one!!
Big Red shared the interesting anecdote at the NFL Combine on Tuesday ... when he was asked about the pop superstar's presence around the team.
As it turns out, it was certainly a sweet experience for many ... 'cause Reid said the big boys up front felt the love in the form of some pastries at some point during their championship season.
Big Red explained to "PFT Live" the gesture might have been an attempt to fit in with Kelce's friends ... and he thinks she sincerely enjoyed the "escape" football provided her this season.
Reid -- who pointed out he's known the Swift family for years -- praised how grounded Taylor's continued to be throughout her career ... even though she's the most famous woman on the planet (in his opinion).
Of course, Taylor was present at the majority of Kelce's games this season ... including the Super Bowl, which was a great night for her man's team, and all the postgame celebrations that went down in Vegas.
Back to the Pop-Tarts -- Reid said he missed out on the treats ... as Taylor's gift went right to the linemen, who devoured every last one.

Breaking News

A social media influencer with two million followers on Instagram is claiming Tyreek Hill broke her leg in a fit of rage in his backyard during a football drill last summer ... and now, she wants him to fork over some serious cash for it all.
Sophie Hall made the allegations in a lawsuit filed in Broward County, Fla. last week ... alleging the incident went down a short time after she had booked a ticket for her son to attend one of the NFL star's football camps in South Florida.
She claimed that after her purchase went through, she received some flirtatious messages from Hill on IG. One of the texts, she said, included a line from the Dolphins wide receiver that read, "I've been know to be a good stepdad."
Hall says during their chat on the social media app, Hill also invited her to "come a day early so me and mom can hang" -- before he gave her his personal cell phone.
In her suit, Hall says she went on to attend the camp with her son on June 17 -- and while there, Hill asked her to come back and visit him at his Southwest Ranches mansion.

Hall says days later, Hill purchased a flight and travel arrangements for her to reconnect with him on June 28.
Hall claims after she made her way to Hill's home, he asked her to participate in some football drills during a training session he was having in his backyard. Hill allegedly asked her to rush against him in a defensive line vs. offensive line, 1-on-1 style workout. According to Hall, she shoved the Super Bowl champion backward, which caused him to be embarrassed.
"Mr. Hill's attitude changed and he became angry," Hall said in her suit.

Hall alleges Hill then flipped the drill around so he could rush against her. And, after a couple reps, she said Hill "charged into her violently and with great force" ... 'causing her to suffer a right leg injury.
Hall says she complained that she was hurt ... but claims Hill has downplayed the severity of her injury, telling her to just rest on a bed and ice the leg.
In her suit, Hall says when she eventually got back home on July 1, 2023, an orthopedist diagnosed her with a leg fracture ... that required metal hardware implantation to fix.
Hall says she's continuing to suffer from persistent pain and weakness ... and now she wants Hill to pay her big damages for her injuries.

Andy Reid Honors K.C. Shooting Victim Lisa Lopez-Galvan ... 'Very Good Human Being'
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid gave a brief eulogy for the woman who lost her life in the Kansas City parade shooting on Tuesday ... praising Lisa Lopez-Galvan as someone who had a positive impact on so many people.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning coach met with the media at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis minutes ago ... but before he started talking football, he wanted to address the tragedy that resulted in the local DJ's death -- and injuries to 22 others.
"I want to share my condolences for the Galvan and Lopez family for their loss of Lisa, and for the people of Kansas City," Reid told reporters.
"She was a personality there, and a very good human being, first of all. We'll all miss her, as I know her family will."
Reid said the shooting is not what Kansas City stands for as a whole ... and he called on the next generation to take action and be a part of the solution.
"You're our future," he added, "and as great as we can make this place, we want to do that. So we can turn this, which was a negative, into a real positive. With just a little togetherness and love we can fix a lot of problems."
As we previously reported, the Chiefs launched a fundraiser for those affected by the incident ... with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes donating to the cause.
Harrison Butker -- whose jersey Lopez-Galvan was wearing at the celebration -- also donated one of his own tops to the family for her funeral services.
Two men -- Lyndell Mays and Dominic Miller -- currently face charges for their involvement in the shooting.

Russell Wilson Sabía que era mi responsabilidad criar al hijo de Ciara...
Russell Wilson dice que sabía desde el primer día que ayudar a criar al hijo de Ciara con Future sería su nueva responsabilidad en la vida y se comparó con el padre de Jesús.
El QB de los Broncos, cuyo futuro en Denver parece incierto en este momento, apareció esta semana en el podcast "I Am Athlete" donde habló de su matrimonio con Ciara y de su rol de padrastro con su hijo, Future Jr., que comparte con el rapero.
Escuchen esto porque es bastante revelador: Russ literalmente dice que sintió que Dios le hablaba para hacerle saber no solo que Ciara era la persona para él, sino que criar a su hijo también era algo a lo que estaba destinado a hacer.
Russell Wilson dice que lo supo desde el momento en que conoció a Ciara, que al parecer incluyó un encuentro con el entonces bebé Future Jr., así que estamos hablando de años.
Russ también dice que estaba teniendo una conversación con el hombre de arriba y sintió que Dios le hablaba y le decía que este sería su camino, es decir, convertirse en un hombre de familia. Y sí, él invoca el nombre de José, así como el de Jesús.
Si crees que estás aturdido por las palabras de Russell, espera a ver a Brandon Marshall, con quien Russ estaba teniendo esta conversación. Se puede decir que estaba bien sorprendido por lo que estaba escuchando.
Recuerden, Future Jr. es el hijo de Future, quien comparte la custodia de su hijo con Ciara. Aunque parece que lo vemos más con su madre, al menos públicamente.
Teniendo en cuenta la bronca histórica entre Future y Russ, algo nos dice que Future no se va a tomar esto muy bien. En cuanto a Ciara, aún no se ha referido a las palabras de Russ.
Por supuesto, sabemos que está feliz con Russ y que han formado su propia familia en los últimos años. Por lo que estamos escuchando aquí, sin embargo, Russell considera a Future Jr. su propio hijo también.
NFL's Damon Arnette Disputes Meth Arrest Details ... Claims Prescription
Former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette claims reports of his recent arrest for meth and gun possession are straight-up wrong ... insisting the whole thing is a giant misunderstanding.
Arnette's most recent legal trouble made waves on Monday ... with multiple outlets stating the former first-round pick was busted in Richardson, Texas on Jan. 6 and charged with possession of less than a gram of meth and unlawful carrying of a firearm.
The 27-year-old's attorneys released a statement to TMZ Sports shortly after the news broke ... and they are adamant Arnette's name will be cleared.
"Our client, at the time of the stop, was unable to provide law enforcement with his prescription for a lawful medication," Jason Lampert and Thomas Wynne said. "The arrest was predicated on Mr. Arnette being unable to prove the medication was prescribed, had he been able to do so at the time of the stop, there would have been no arrest for either the controlled substance or the firearms."
"Our offices are working with the local law enforcement to rectify this matter before any charges are brought by the District Attorney’s Office."
In other words, Arnette's team believes once the methamphetamine charge is sorted out, the gun charge will be handled as well ... as it's legal in Texas to carry a weapon without a license.
It's not the first time the former Ohio State star made headlines for the wrong reasons -- he was released from the Raiders after making threats and flashing firearms on video in 2021 ... and has had multiple off-field incidents.
In fact, Arnette was berated by police during a July 2022 arrest ... with a cop calling him a "f***ing idiot" after placing him in cuffs.

Russell Wilson I Knew Raising Ciara's Son Was My Responsibility ... Joseph Did Same for Jesus
Russell Wilson says he knew from day 1 that helping to raise Ciara's son with Future would become his new blessing and responsibility in life -- comparing himself to Jesus' dad.
The Broncos QB -- whose future there in Denver seems uncertain at this point -- appeared this week on the "I Am Athlete" podcast ... where he talked about his marriage with Ciara and the fact that he plays stepdad to her kid, Future Jr., who she shares with the rapper.
Take a listen, 'cause this is pretty eye-opening ... Russ literally says he felt God was talking to him to let him know that not only was Ciara the one for him -- but that raising her boy was also something he was destined to do as well.
RW says he knew this from the moment he met Ciara -- which apparently also included a meet-and-greet with a then-baby Future Jr. ... so we're talking years ago.
Russ also says he was having a conversation with the man upstairs about this -- and he explains that he felt God speaking to him and telling him this would become his path -- namely, becoming a family man. And yes, he does invoke Joseph's name, as well as JC.
If you think you're stunned by Russell's words, wait 'til you see Brandon Marshall -- who Russ is speaking with in this conversation. You can tell ... he's shocked by what he's hearing.
Remember, Future Jr. is Future's son ... and he shares custody of his kid with Ciara -- although, we seem to see him more with his mom, at least publicly and online anyway.
Considering the historical bad blood between Future and Russ -- something tells us Future ain't gonna take this very well. As for Ciara, she hasn't addressed Russ' words yet.
Of course, we know she's happy with Russ as they've grown their own family over the years. From what we're hearing here though, RW very much considers Future Jr. his own son too.

Cam Newton Running Mouth Before Fight ... Coach Claims
The altercation that broke out between Cam Newton and opposing coaches at a youth football tournament was the result of trash-talking gone too far ... so says two men involved in the scrap, who claim things only got physical after the ex-NFL quarterback initiated contact.
TJ and Steph Brown -- coaches for Top Shelf Performance, where Cam used to help out -- shared their side of the scrap on Monday ... and they insist the former Panthers superstar is to blame for the ugly scene.
"It just should never have gotten to that," TJ told Fox News Digital ... adding Cam had been jawing at him throughout the weekend and demanded they place a wager on their game.
"Cam jumps out of his car and yells, 'Hey, all that sorry s*** ain't gonna work today. What we betting today? What we betting?'" TJ continued. "I'm like, 'I ain't betting you, bro. I already beat you three, four times. You got to beat me first.' He like, ‘What we betting? I got plenty of money. I ain't ever running out of money.' That’s when I told him, 'That's your problem. All you care about is money. You think money is everything. You can't buy me.' And I walk off."
TJ claims just three minutes into their matchup, Cam continued to taunt his old colleagues ... saying, "'Hey, I know that play. That's my stuff. I taught y'all everything y'all know. I'm y'all daddy. I made y'all. I’m the reason for everything y'all got going on.'"
When the coaches confronted the former NFL MVP, TJ said Cam grabbed Steph ... which led him to react by throwing a punch.
"He's just got to understand we're people," he added. "Nobody's just going to let you go around disrespecting and talking crazy to them. I know how to brush it off, but not everybody's like that."
Worth noting -- Cam's C1N Red team was still able to end up with the victory on Sunday ... with Newton congratulating his squad on the 15U championship.
Despite the incident, the two coaches hope to bury the hatchet with Cam and move on ... as they consider him a brother.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

66-year-old King was well-known for his Monday Morning Quarterback and Football Morning in America articles ... where he'd provide in-depth coverage each week of the NFL season.
The legendary writer explained his decision to walk away from writing ... admitting he had a feeling the 2023-24 season would be his last -- and he's ready to watch the Super Bowl on TV like any other casual fan.
"Who’s complaining? Not me," King wrote. "I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
"To be a long-termer in an increasingly short-term business, to write this column for 27 years and to be a sportswriter for 44, well, that’s something I'll always be grateful for. Truly, I've loved it all."
King pointed out numerous factors that played into his retirement ... including spending time with his family, his eagerness to see what else is out there for him, his growing disinterest in the day-to-day of the NFL, and the current state of his column.
