J.J. Watt has time today -- the retired NFL superstar just teed off on a social media user for criticizing his son's wardrobe ... saying the negative comment has him feeling super uncomfortable.

The former Houston Texans defensive end was a proud pops when he shared a mini photoshoot of his 1-year-old son, Koa, on Friday ... showing him decked out in a matching grey coat and sweats, and a beanie while on vacation in London.

Adorable, right?? Well one troll took issue with the look ... accusing Watt of going too far with Koa's threads.

"Instead of dressing him as an infant model, why not put him in COMFORTABLE clothes that fit," the X user said. "We will still think he is cute no matter what he is wearing."

J.J. was quick to reply ... firing back with a bit of sarcasm before explaining it's actually the tyke who chose to rock the coat.

"I appreciate the parenting advice!" Watt said.

"Koa has other jackets, but he runs and grabs this one every single morning when he wants to go on a walk."

"Want to know what’s not comfortable?" he added. "You thinking you know when my son is comfortable."

Watt -- who welcomed his son with wife, Kealia, in October 2022 -- appears to have receipts ... 'cause just three weeks ago, he published a pic on Instagram showing a clearly happy Koa wearing the exact same coat.

But the critic doubled down on her take ... adding, "At his age he is grabbing what he is used to wearing/you ooo'd and aww'd about. Not what is a wise choice. As a parent you know this."

"My comment was about his comfort. Full stop."

Patrick Mahomes is distancing himself from Diddy as the rap mogul faces a mountain of troubling allegations ... with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's social media accounts deleting posts that reference Sean Combs' stage name.

Back in the year 2014, Mahomes shared two posts that included the phrase "P Diddy" -- which is what the Bad Boy founder went by from 2001-2004.

At least one of the tweets appears to be completely unrelated to the artist ... as it mentioned a friend with the username "@Pat_Day_75," who seems to be a longtime friend from Texas.

Taylor Swift's apparently a good luck charm for Travis Kelce on the golf course too!

The Chiefs star hit the links with Chandler Parsons on Thursday -- and in an effort to get the tight end to screw up a shot, CP threw on some "Bad Blood."

But, check out the video the former NBA player posted to his Instagram page, Kelce actually thrived with the tunes on in the background!!

It's been a VERY good year for Terrel Bernard ... 'cause not only is the Buffalo Bills linebacker fresh off a breakout season on the field, his longtime girlfriend just agreed to marry him!!

The newly engaged couple announced the huge news this week ... with Tayler Timmons, a doctor of physical therapy, sharing a photo of her beautiful diamond ring on Instagram.

Fans congratulated the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. in the comments ... including Rachel Bush who is married to former Bills safety Jordan Poyer.

Bernard and Timmons go wayyyy back -- they both started dating at La Porte High School in Texas, where they were crowned Homecoming king and queen ... and continued their relationship when they both attended Baylor University.

Now, Bernard is one of the best rising defensive stars on the Bills ... after he had 143 total tackles, 6.5 sacks, and three interceptions this past season.

Buffalo coach Sean McDermott spoke highly of the 24-year-old after the Bills' playoff run ended in late January ... saying he was blown away by his production on the field.

"I thought he had a magnificent year, I really did," McDermott said on One Bills Live after the season. "And not only just on the field, but also in terms of his leadership."

Travis Kelce just offered up a pretty good excuse for not showing off his most chiseled physique while out in the Bahamas ... explaining his weight's up right now because, well, it's the heart of his offseason!

The Kansas City Chiefs star touched on his dad bod while having a conversation with his older brother, Jason, and new Eagles running back Saquon Barkley on the latest episode of "New Heights."

Saquon asked the bros of the two, who could drink more ... and after the guys bantered a bit back and forth -- their respective weights entered the chat.

Vince Young was involved in a wild bar fight last month -- one that ended after he was socked in the face and seemingly knocked unconscious.

The fracas -- which went down inside Tokyo Joe's Shot Bar in Houston, Texas at around 9 PM on Feb. 4 -- was all captured on video, obtained by TMZ Sports.

In the footage, you can see Young -- wearing a white hat, black shirt and shorts -- and another man begin arguing with fellow bargoers ... when, suddenly, things turn physical.

New York Jets star Sauce Gardner is addressing the backlash after stating Jewish people "run the world" ... claiming he had no idea his words would be considered antisemitic -- but has since educated himself on the matter.

The two-time All-Pro came under fire after appearing in a video with popular streamer Adin Ross -- who is Jewish -- this week ... when he stated, "I'mma be honest, like no funny, weird s***, y'all run the world."

The comment was met with laughter from those in the room ... and while Ross didn't appear offended, many took to social media to sound off on Gardner.

The former Defensive Rookie of the Year is now clarifying his controversial take ... going to X to try to explain his side of things.

"I love all people," Gardner said. "While my intentions were positive, I just learned that people use those exact words I shared for hate towards Jewish people."

"That is not what I am about and I appreciate those who took the time to educate me on that fact."

Gardner also noted the majority of his agency and marketing teams consist of Jewish people and he talks to them on the daily ... and he meant it as a compliment.

Some folks had Gardner's back ... saying they understood he didn't mean any harm.

It would've been better than an episode of "Veep" ... sadly, Vice President Aaron Rodgers won't be coming to a poll near you -- Robert F. Kennedy has picked his running mate, and it's NOT the 4-time NFL MVP!

During a campaign event in Oakland on Tuesday, RFK Jr. announced Northern California-based attorney Nicole Shanahan, 38, would anchor the Independent's ticket.

Of course, RFK Jr. was considering two other high-profile options ... including 40-year-old Rodgers, a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, who the 70-year-old confirmed was near the "top" of his shortlist. Mike Rowe and Jesse Ventura were also considered.

Former NFL star Malcolm Butler -- who famously helped the Patriots win Super Bowl XLIX with a last-minute interception -- was arrested in Rhode Island earlier this month, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to North Providence Police Dept. documents, Butler was thrown behind bars back on March 16 after officers say he displayed signs of driving drunk during a traffic stop.

Cops say they initially pulled his white Mercedes-Benz over at around 3:22 AM ... after he was allegedly blocking traffic while stopped in a travel lane.

7:18 AM PT -- Baltimore's MLB team just sent out its thoughts and prayers to those affected by the collapse ... vowing in a statement to "get through this" as a "tight-knit and resilient city."

The Baltimore Ravens sent out prayers to the victims of the tragic Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse Tuesday morning ... writing in a statement their "hearts go out to those who have been affected."

The bridge crumpled into the Patapsco River at around 1:30 AM ... after a large ship hit one of its support columns.

Several vehicles were on the bridge when it crashed into the near-freezing water below ... and city officials say divers are now on the scene searching for victims.

The Ravens -- who play roughly 15 miles away from the bridge at M&T Bank Stadium -- added in their statement they're confident the city will bond together in the wake of the tragedy.

Former Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III also sent prayers to those involved ... as did LSU women's basketball star Angel Reese, who was born and raised in the Baltimore area.

Eric Decker just ensured he won't be having any more kids following the birth of his fourth one -- revealing Monday night he had a vasectomy.

The former NFL star had fun while making the announcement ... sharing some photos of him recovering from the procedure while wearing a T-shirt that read, "Vasectomy survivor. I kid you not."

In one of the snaps, he had a bag of frozen peas on his private parts -- while holding what appeared to be a stiff drink in one of his hands.

Taylor Swift is finally ready to have her picture taken in LA — and yes … Travis Kelce was right by her side for the high-profile photo-op.

The couple hit up one of the most frequented hot spots in town Sunday by dropping in on Nobu Malibu — and in broad daylight, no less … so you know they were ready to be snapped by paps, and they 100% were.

This was a lunch outing, and as you can see … TK and Tay Tay had a balcony seat, facing the ocean.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann might not be having as many public explosions as last year ... but the divorce is still going on, with sources telling us the fighting never stops.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kim & Kroy are still on the divorce track, even though there hasn't been much in the news about the soon-to-be exes.

We're told the two are at each other a lot, with their on-and-off fighting persisting ... but, police haven't had to respond for a while, so it seems to be somewhat civil in the house.

If Jason Kelce gets bored of sitting on the couch all day in retirement, he's got an open invite to take his talents to the squared circle... 'cause WWE Superstar The Miz tells TMZ Sports he wants to turn the Eagles legend into the next big thing in wrestling!!

We caught up with Miz out at LAX this week ... and asked if he expected a cameo appearance from Jason and his brother, Travis, when WrestleMania 40 makes its way to Philly, where the Eagles center played for 13 years.

Miz wouldn't spill any beans ... but said it would be a "home run" if they rolled through. He DID, however, admit he wants to lend his knowledge to the 36-year-old All-Pro center in preparation for a wrestling career.

"He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring -- not only with just the athleticism and the part of the wrestling, which I think he can absolutely do," Miz said this week.

"I watched him jump up at a Bills game from, like, down and jump up into a window, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this guy is 300 pounds, how did he do that? That’s incredible.'"

Outside of being an athletic specimen, Miz said Jason would be a natural on the mic ... which is just as important when it comes to wrestling.

Worth noting -- Miz helped Logan Paul (who's also from the Buckeye State) get his footing in the sport back in 2022 ... and now, the Maverick is one of the most popular names in WWE.

Miz previously flirted with the idea of the Kelces getting into wrestling ... saying back in December they'd be one helluva tag team.

It's clear Miz is at least hoping the Kelces check out WrestleMania in Philly next month ... but it may be a bit before we see them hop in the ring -- if ever. Although, Jason sported a luchador mask after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl ... so who knows!!

Travis Kelce's Saturday was truly for the boys ... 'cause he grabbed some pizza with his friends -- and Taylor Swift was nowhere to be seen.

The big Kansas City tight end hit Geraci's Slice Shop in downtown Cleveland yesterday, 87's old stomping grounds -- where the owners of the shop just had to take a pic of their native son.

The photo shows TK standing alongside an old-school payphone in the shop. The caption on the store's Instagram hypes up Travis while also begging him to bring T-Swift into the restaurant next time around.

Trevor Etienne -- the college football star and brother to Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne -- has been arrested for DUI ... TMZ has confirmed.

A representative with the Athens-Clarke County jail tells TMZ ... Trevor was booked at 4:35 AM ET on a DUI charge.

He was also charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain lane/improper driving on the road, and affixing materials that reduce visibility of windows/windshield.
