The vast majority of FCC complaints made during and after Super Bowl LVIII had to do with a pro-Israel ad that ran ... and it appears to have been planned that way.

TMZ has obtained FCC filings -- including all of the complaints made pertaining to the Super Bowl in February -- and there's a recurring theme in just about all of them ... namely, people pissed the State of Israel was allowed to air a commercial in the broadcast.

Per the docs, hundreds complaints were filed ... and a handful of them were about the usual -- indecent exposure, risqué outfits, language, etc. And a fair amount even complained about showing celebs ... including Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Usher and others who were in the house.

Jason Kelce's retirement might not last very long -- TMZ Sports has learned the Philadelphia Eagles legend would be welcomed back to WWE with open arms ... this after crushing his WrestleMania 40 appearance!!

The elder Kelce bro and his former teammate, Lane Johnson, shocked the Philadelphia crowd on Saturday ... when they sprang into action to help Rey Mysterio and his partner Andrade beat his son, Dominik Mysterio, and Santos Escobar in their tag-team match.

NFL star and proud Purdue alum Raheem Mostert is hoping a miracle can help him get to Arizona in time to watch Zach Edey and the Boilermakers take on UConn ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to make a last-minute trip to the NCAA championship game!!

Mostert -- the NFL's rushing touchdown leader in 2023 -- chopped it up with our photog after touching down at LAX around 10:30 AM on Monday ... just a matter of hours before the huge matchup is slated to tip off in Glendale at 6:20.

We asked the 31-year-old what his plans were for the biggest game in Purdue hoops history ... and he revealed he's crossing his fingers he can get back up in the air ASAP so he can be at State Farm Stadium for the event.

"I'ma try to make it out there," Mostert said. "We're in LA, it's about an hour and thirty flight. I'ma see what I can do."

Mostert -- who played for the Boilermakers from 2011-14 -- explained it's gonna be tough ... especially considering he has to be back to LA in time for a broadcasting workshop Tuesday morning.

The running back told us he's excited to dip his toe into television ... and will learn from some of the top people in the industry to see if it's something he wants to pursue after his playing days are over.

If CeeDee Lamb is truly upset with his contract in Dallas, he's doing a good job of hiding it ... promising on Sunday to be a Cowboy in 2024 -- seemingly no matter what.

Lamb -- who's going into the final year of his rookie deal with the Cowboys -- was out at a sports memorabilia event in Chantilly, Virginia ... when he was asked if Dallas fans should expect him to be on the field when games kick off next season.

After all, reports had circulated over the weekend that he might hold out in order to pressure the Cowboys into getting his new, long-term contract done.

But, Lamb made it clear he's going to be wearing a star on his helmet ... saying matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I'll be in Dallas!"

In fact, Lamb said the No. 1 thing he's looking forward to in the near future is simply winning with Dak Prescott and the rest of Big D.

It's all great news for the Cowboys ... as Lamb was arguably the top receiver in the league last season -- logging 1,749 yards and 12 TDs on 135 receptions.

1:02 PM PT -- According to the Austin Police Department, T'Vondre Sweat was involved in a car crash at around 4:41 AM on Sunday -- hours before he was booked into the Travis County Jail.

Cops say Sweat was driving an SUV when he collided with a sedan.

"The driver of the SUV, T'Vondre Sweat, was arrested for DWI," police said in a statement Monday afternoon. "The driver of the sedan left the scene on foot immediately after the crash."

The APD added an investigation into the matter is ongoing.

T'Vondre Sweat -- one of the top defensive lineman prospects in this year's NFL draft class -- was arrested in Texas on Sunday, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Records show the 22-year-old former Texas Longhorns star was booked into Travis County Jail at around 2:12 PM. According to reports, Sweat was accused of driving while intoxicated.

The records show he was released at around 4:14 PM. Further details surrounding the allegations against the football player were not made immediately available.

Sweat -- wearing a face mask and a towel over his head -- was asked two questions as he left the jail on Sunday afternoon ... although he declined to answer them. His attorney said in his stead, "We're not talking about the incident."

Sweat -- the 2023 Outland Trophy winner who measured in at 6'4", 366 pounds at the NFL's combine earlier this year -- was projected to be a second or third-round pick in the draft later this month prior to his arrest.

Jason Kelce's luchador mask after the Chiefs' Super Bowl win wasn't a one-time thing -- the recently retired NFL star donned the look once again ... making a surprise appearance at WrestleMania!!

The future Hall of Fame Philadelphia Eagles center and his former teammate, Lane Johnson, crashed the party amid legend Rey Mysterio and Andrade's tag-team match against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar on Saturday ... helping the former duo get the victory.

Of course, Kelce famously rocked a similar look after his brother, Travis, won the world title over the San Francisco 49ers in Vegas back in February ... wearing a wrestler mask as he chugged beers alongside Taylor Swift.

There's apparently a green thumb attached to Tom Brady's golden arm ... check out a recent pic of his Miami mansion -- a garden he's growing in his front yard is flourishing!!!

The NFL legend had planter boxes installed next to a tennis court near the entrance of his new pad ... and just recently, dirt and food were placed inside of them.

And, from the looks of things, Brady's doing a great job tending to it all -- 'cause it seems the crops are already bearing goods!!

"American Idol" contestant and former NFL pro Blake Proehl's biggest fan has been revealed -- it's his two-time Super Bowl champ dad, Ricky ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports his son's singing career has left him speechless!!

Blake -- a star receiver for East Carolina before joining the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 -- has kickstarted quite the second career after transitioning from football ... he's currently crushing it on the popular competition show.

Now that Blake is in the top 24 on "Idol," we talked to Ricky about watching his talented son on the stage instead of the field ... and he's unbelievably proud, especially considering he had no idea where it came from!!

"It's just amazing because none of us can sing!" Ricky told us this week. "I can't sing, my wife can't sign, my parents, her parents -- it's a gift!"

Ricky -- who played for six teams in the NFL from 1990-2006 -- recalled the first time he heard Blake belt out a tune ... and it was so powerful, he got a frog in his throat.

"For me, it was an emotional moment because I couldn't believe it. Then we heard him in person and we started hearing it more and more and how talented he was and how good he sounded just blew me away in that short period of time."

Ricky said it's super easy to support Blake's new career path ... 'cause he can tell just how much he loves music, just like he was with football.

"I think it took a lot for him to walk away from a game that he loves. A game that his dad played, his brother played and to have the courage to say, 'Hey, Dad, I'm going to pursue music.' I thought that said a lot about who he is as a person and I respect the guy. I love him for that."

The "Utopia" rapper, and Houston native, happily rushed the Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium field Thursday with the Longhorns football team, creating tons of media for UT in the process.

UT's Instagram account captioned one of the posts, "POV: Travis Scott pulls up to practice 🔥"  ... highlighting a camera angle that showed players stampeding across the ground like a herd of cattle -- but some Texas residents are incensed by the content.

More evidence to support the Johnny Manziel and Josie Canseco dating rumors -- the former college football superstar made another appearance on the model's social media on Thursday ... and once again, the proof is in the hand tats.

Manziel and Canseco were both in NYC this week ... and as we previously reported, it appeared the two took the flight to the Big Apple together, as the former MLB star's daughter shared a pic that showed the quarterback in the background.

If the couple(?) was trying to keep a low profile, that's all out the window now ... 'cause Canseco posted a short video at dinner -- and it's clear Manziel was right by her side.

Ex-NFL star Vernon Davis says it's still a mystery as to how exactly his brother, Vontae Davis, died earlier this week ... although he said Monday he believes the former Colts cornerback passed away following a session in a sauna.

The ex-San Francisco 49ers tight end broke his silence on his little bro's death during an interview with The Daily Mail on Wednesday ... just two days after Vontae was found deceased inside a gym at his Southwest Ranches, Fla. home.

Vernon says he believes his brother either collapsed or slipped after spending time soaking in steam -- but outside of that, he really is unsure of how the former NFLer passed at just 35 years old.
