Barry Sanders suffered a heart-related medical scare over the weekend ... the NFL Hall of Famer announced Friday.

The former running back said the health issue happened out of nowhere on Father's Day, but did not go into detail on what he experienced.

"It was unexpected and served as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant about our physical well-being, even when we are feeling fine," Barry said in a statement released by the Detroit Lions.

Taylor Swift's ready to have tea and crumpets with her man Travis Kelce after her show tonight ... 'cause he's out in London to support her -- and, it looks like it's a double date.

The singer-songwriter took the stage in England's capital at Wembley Stadium ... and, TK's front and center, dapping up his friends and signing autographs for fans in the crowd -- a real joyous scene.

BTW ... Travis is definitely bringing a taste of America across the pond -- 'cause he's got a U.S.A. Olympic cap on, so the dude's looking pretty patriotic.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has undergone a massive physical transformation this offseason ... and at an event Thursday night, he proudly showed off his new bod!!

Check out images of Big Blue's head man from the red carpet at NY's "Giants 100: A Night With Legends" show at Madison Square Garden ... he looked goooooood.

His wife, Beth, also stunned in a white dress ... appearing to go through her own body transformation with Brian over the past few months.

Bill Belichick's 23-year-old girlfriend is back on the competitive cheerleading mat ... and she's still getting some big air -- all while rockin' a skin-tight outfit!!

Jordon Hudson -- a former cheerleader at Bridgewater State University -- attended East Celebrity Elite Hingham practice in the Boston area on Thursday night ... making it clear she's returning to the floor for the 2024-25 competition season.

And, while she didn't land every stunt perfectly, she certainly looked good!!

Travis Kelce joined his brother Jason Kelce for a trip across the pond to France -- this right after lighting it up in Nashville ... just proving that the dude's real busy in the off-season.

Despite their whirlwind schedule, the Kelce brothers looked relatively fresh while walking the streets in Cannes as they hit up the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity Thursday -- where they dished on their fame during a scheduled event ... more on that later.

Travis was strolling with his security team instead of his superstar GF, Taylor Swift ... who's busy touring in the UK right now. Jason, meanwhile, was spotted out with his wife, Kylie.

A textbook on logic helped bring Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson together ... and the man who wrote it tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be happier!!

We broke the story ... the literary piece -- titled "Deductive Logic" -- was what first drew Belichick to Hudson way back in 2021 -- when they had their initial encounter on a plane ride from the Boston area to Florida.

Our sources say the ex-New England Patriots head coach was intrigued by the work that Hudson was studying on the flight ... and sparked up a conversation with her over it all.

Travis Kelce's whirlwind offseason continued in Nashville on Tuesday ... the Chiefs star was spotted in the city livin' it up with George Kittle!!!

Taylor Swift's boyfriend flew in to the party town this week to help Kittle and Greg Olsen throw a massive event for their "Tight End University" ... and following some afternoon activities with the guys, he blew off a little steam with the duo in the evening.

The three hit the stage at the Brooklyn Bowl -- and got the crowd ready for a special "Tight Ends & Friends" show that featured performances from Jelly Roll, Jon Pardi and more.

Travis Kelce couldn't care less about his new Super Bowl ring being factually incorrect ... saying the glaring typo is actually pretty awesome!!

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar weighed in on his team's recent championship celebration on the latest "New Heights" podcast episode on Wednesday ... and when his brother, Jason, mentioned the now-popular oopsie -- the Miami Dolphins being listed as a No.7 playoff seed instead of No. 6 -- Travis admitted he likes it.

"I don't give a s***," Travis said when asked if he was going to get the error fixed. "No, I like it that we didn't give a f*** about what seed Miami was in. F*** it. Yeah, they were the seventh. Who cares?"

Bill Belichick was grinning ear-to-ear the day he first met his now-girlfriend Jordon Hudson ... check out a photo TMZ Sports has obtained from their first encounter -- the ex-New England coach was clearly giddy.

The pic was taken at some point during a February 2021 flight -- after the future Hall of Famer had sat next to Hudson as they were both headed from the Boston area to Florida.

Our sources say at one point during the trip ... Belichick leaned in to inquire about some school work Hudson -- a college student at the time -- had been working on, and they hit it off.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs was accused of dragging the mother of his child down a set of stairs and injuring her before his arrest on Sunday, TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court documents we obtained ... the woman told police Buggs broke into her Tuscaloosa, Ala. residence with a tire iron at around 5:28 AM -- and then went upstairs to confront her.

Tuscaloosa Police Dept. officers wrote in the docs the woman then claimed Buggs dragged her down the stairs ... causing her to break off several "clip-on toenails." They also state the woman had "scratch marks" on her wrist from the altercation.

During Bill Belichick's first interaction with his now-girlfriend Jordon Hudson, he actually gave her an autograph -- one in which he thanked her for an impromptu lesson on logic.

Check out images of the signature that TMZ Sports obtained from one of Hudson's ex-Bridgewater State University classmates. You can see the former New England Patriots head coach wrote the then-20-year-old a sweet message on the inside of a textbook titled "Deductive Logic" -- expressing his gratitude to her for "a course" on the subject -- before he slapped his John Hancock on it.

Our sources say Belichick put the pen to the paper during the two's first meetup on a February 2021 plane ride from the Boston area to Florida -- after he had leaned in to inquire about the matter.

Jason Kelce might have quit football, but he clearly hasn't retired from drinking yet ... as the former Eagles star was seen crushing beers with fans at a charity golf event on Monday morning.

Kelce shotgunned the cold ones with the guys while out at Manufacturers Golf & Country Club in Pennsylvania ... just before he hit the course to try to raise some funds for a good cause.

You can see the ex-Philadelphia offensive lineman and some diehard Eagles fanatics grabbed what appeared to be lime-flavored Garage Beers ... and then went to town.

Tom Brady threw on the headset for the first time on Sunday ... providing some analysis during the UFL championship game -- and the dude already seems like a real natural!!

The G.O.A.T. joined Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt in the booth as the Birmingham Stallions handled the San Antonio Brahmas in St. Louis ... sharing his two cents on the action during the second quarter of the matchup.

It was TB12's first official appearance as a member of the Fox Sports crew -- as we previously reported, he is slated to call his first NFL game when the Cleveland Browns host the Dallas Cowboys in Week One of the 2024-25 season.

If Travis Kelce does get into broadcasting following his NFL career ... Eric Dickerson's expecting his run of dominance to continue in that profession, telling TMZ Sports the dude is "a great fit" for TV.

The Hall of Famer, of course, knows a thing or two about transitioning from the gridiron to the microphone -- he worked as a "Monday Night Football" sideline reporter back in 2000 and 2001 -- and he's convinced Kelce has what it takes to succeed.

"Travis has a great personality," the former Rams running back told us out at LAX this week. "He's a great player. He knows football extremely well. He's won a couple Super Bowls. I don't think you can lose with that."

Richard Pryor's former L.A. home -- the infamous spot where he set himself on fire in 1980 -- just sold for a cool $3,619,000.

The Northridge home was on the market for only 3 months by ex-NFL player turned Hollywood writer Rashard Mendenhall -- netting him a considerable profit, as he'd purchased it for $2.5M in 2017.

It wasn't exactly what Rashard had hoped for -- he initially listed the home at $4,236,000, a nod to his NFL career rushing total of 4,236 yards -- but it's still a pretty sweet deal.

Jeff Ross says Tom Brady really is the GOAT for letting millions of people have a laugh at his expense ... telling TMZ Sports the future Hall of Famer deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for being such a good sport during his roast last month.

We caught up with "The RoastMaster General" out at LAX this week ... and tried to ask who he'd love to target next, considering Netflix's "Roast Of Tom Brady" was such a massive success.

But, Ross explained it's going to be tough to get any celeb to step up to the plate after seeing what happened to Brady ... which led him to praise the guy for taking everything on the chin.
