Kansas City Chiefs Frostbitten Fans Need Amputations After Freezing Playoff Game
Kansas City Chiefs fans literally sacrificed body parts to watch their favorite football team win an NFL playoff game ... because reports say some of them need amputations now.
When the Chiefs beat the Dolphins in sub-zero temperatures at Arrowhead Stadium back in January -- on their way to a second straight Super Bowl win -- dozens of fans who attended the game reportedly came down with frostbite in the aftermath.
Now, the medical director at the Grossman Burn Center at Research Medical Center in Kansas City says the vast majority of those frostbitten Chiefs fans are now being told to schedule amputations.
Among those frostbitten Chiefs diehards ... a man who took off his gloves for 5 minutes to put up a tent in the parking lot outside Arrowhead. HCA Midwest Health shared images of his injured hand, and it's pretty gnarly.
Remember ... the AFC Wild Card playoff game between the Chiefs and Dolphins was played in -4 degree temperatures ... with a wind chill of -27 degrees at kickoff.
The game was the coldest in Chiefs franchise history ... and the fourth-coldest contest in NFL history ... but the weather didn't stop the 70,000-seat stadium from being packed to the gills.
Doctors are advising amputations for about 70% of patients coming into the Grossman Burn Center with frostbite ... while the other 30% have to spend weeks in hyperbaric oxygen tanks.
Brutal.

TYREEK HILL un largo divorcio... Centrado en el postnupcial
Tyreek Hill se está abriendo sobre el dramático divorcio de principios de este año, diciendo que todo comenzó debido a problemas sobre un acuerdo postnupcial.
La estrella de los Miami Dolphins le explicó la situación a Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark y Channing Crowder en el último episodio de "The Pivot", diciendo que su relación con Keeta Vaccaro comenzó a agriarse un poco después de que comenzaran las conversaciones sobre cómo dividirían los bienes si alguna vez se separaban.
"Tuvimos conversaciones sobre un acuerdo postnupcial", explicó Hill. "Ahí fue realmente donde todo entró en espiral".
Hill no profundizó en los detalles de sus problemas postnupciales, aunque parecía decir que una vez que la gente fuera de su círculo íntimo se enteró de su disputa, las cosas se torcieron.
"Todo lo que voy a decir es que las cosas se ponen raras cuando se lo cuentas a gente de fuera de tu familia", dijo. "¿Me entiendes?"
Recordemos que menos de tres meses después de que Hill y Vaccaro se casaran en Texas, Hill solicitó el divorcio en Florida. Al principio, el jugador de fútbol lo negó todo, diciendo en un tuit que él y Keeta estaban "felizmente casados". Sin embargo, días después, admitió que algún "f***ing cabeza hueca" presentó los documentos sin su aprobación.
Todo el caso fue desestimado después de Hill presentó a retirar su petición a principios de febrero.
Las cosas parecen estar mucho mejor entre los dos, ya que han sido vistos poniéndose muy cariñosos en público recientemente, incluyendo la semana pasada, cuando intercambiaron besos en un yate durante el cumpleaños número 30 de Hill.
"Todavía estamos tranquilos con nuestro matrimonio", dijo, antes de añadir: "Todavía estamos aprendiendo".
Tyreek Hill I'm Pissed At Ricky Rozay ... He Should've Called Me During House Fire!!!
Tyreek Hill has a bone to pick with Rick Ross ... claiming the rap superstar should've given him a call instead of posting his burning house all over social media.
Rozay -- who lives right across the street from the Miami Dolphins receiver -- documented the smoky scene from his yard on Jan. 3 ... providing his millions of followers with commentary and speculating the blaze was sparked by an electrical problem.
Hill was less than thrilled by Ross' reaction ... 'cause when speaking about the accident on "The Pivot," he admitted he felt the musician should've blown up his phone.
"First off, I just wanna say, Rick Ross, bro -- I can't vibe with you now, bro," Hill said. "I can't f*** with you no more, bro."
"Rick Ross, man. You had the audacity to talk to a fireman instead of come protect -- you got my number, bro," Hill continued. "You get on Twitter, posting me all over Twitter, like, after what me and my family went through. You're supposed to be the neighbor -- the neighborhood hero!!"
Former Jaguars star and Pivot cohost Fred Taylor -- who also lives near Hill and Ross -- shared his side of the emergency ... saying he saw Ross recording the whole thing on his celly.
He explained there were a ton of firetrucks outside by the time he knew what was going on ... but Cheetah didn't seem to be bothered at all, especially because Taylor didn't throw video up on the internet for everyone to see.
Hill also took issue with how Ross name-dropped Wing Stop during the whole fiery fiasco ... adding, "Don't try to use me for promotion, bro!!"
As for the fire itself, Hill said he's still trying to get answers from his family members ... but like TMZ Sports previously reported, officials believe the fire started after one of his kids played with a lighter.

Tyreek Hill Divorce Saga With Wife ... Centered Around Postnup
Tyreek Hill is opening up about the divorce drama that plagued him and his wife earlier this year ... saying the saga all started because of a disagreement the two had over a postnup.
The Miami Dolphins star explained the situation to Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder on the latest episode of "The Pivot," saying his relationship with Keeta Vaccaro began to sour a bit after they began talks over how they would divide assets if they were ever to split.
"We had conversations about a postnup," Hill explained. "That was really where it all spiraled from."
Hill didn't dive further into the details of their postnup issues ... though he did seem to say that once people outside of their inner circle got word of their dispute, that's when things went sideways.
"All I'm going to say is, s*** gets weird when you tell people outside your family," he said. "You feel me?"
Remember, less than three months after Hill and Vaccaro tied the knot in Texas, Hill filed for divorce in Florida. At first, the football player denied everything ... saying in a tweet that he and Keeta were "happily married." However, days later, he admitted that some "f***ing bonehead" filed the documents without his approval.
In early February, the whole case was dismissed after Hill filed to drop his petition.
Now, things seem to be a whole lot better between the two -- they've been spotted getting lovey in public a ton recently, including last week, when they swapped kisses on a yacht during Hill's 30th birthday.
"We're still fresh in the marriage thing," he said ... before adding, "We're still learning, man."

Tyreek Hill Celebrates 30th Birthday On Yacht ... Not Sweating Model Lawsuit
Tyreek Hill clearly ain't too worried about the lawsuit a model hit him with last week ... the Miami Dolphins superstar is currently out on a yacht -- celebrating his birthday in some serious style.
The wide receiver -- fresh off being sued by an influencer who claimed he broke her leg in a fit of rage during a football drill last summer -- was seen on a big boat with his wife on Friday afternoon in a large body of water.
Hill seemed to party without a care in the world ... smooching his significant other, dancing around and soaking in all of the first hours of his 30s.
Hill also got to enjoy some balloons as well ... and even a custom cake!!
Of course, it hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows for Hill the last few days ... particularly after Sophie Hall filed her lawsuit on Feb. 23 -- suing him for unspecified damages.
Hill's attorney, though, has adamantly denied all of the allegations -- calling them a shake-down attempt ... and based on his bday actions, it's obvious Tyreek thinks he ain't losing the suit either.

Tyreek Hill Model's Lawsuit Is BS ... She Got Injured Tripping Over A Dog!!!

Tyreek Hill is fighting back against the model who said he broke her leg during a fit of rage in a football drill ... saying she got injured merely because she tripped over a dog.
In a lawsuit filed in Florida last week, Sophie Hall -- an influencer with over 2 million followers on Instagram -- claimed that after Hill courted her through a series of direct messages last summer ... she showed up at his Southwest Ranches mansion.
She alleged that while there, the two engaged in some football drills -- and when she "held her own" against the Miami Dolphins star, he became embarrassed and enraged. She said he then "charged into her violently and with great force," causing her to sustain a serious leg injury.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
But, Hill's attorney, Julius B. Collins, said in a statement to TMZ Sports on Friday that Hall's lawsuit is complete BS ... and an attempt to shake down the NFL player.
According to Collins, Hall did show up to Hill's home and the two did engage in some "playful" drills ... but she hurt herself when she fell over a dog -- not because Hill turned violent.
Collins called Hall's claims "disgusting and cunning."
"This lawsuit is baseless," Collins said, "and nothing more than an attempt to bring bad publicity to Mr. Hill and force him into paying them and their client monies."
Collins added that Hill has opened up an insurance claim for the injuries Hall suffered while at the wide receiver's residence ... but Hall filed the lawsuit "in an attempt to 'scare tactic' him into personally covering the cost of Ms. Hall’s medical bills."
"Mr. Hill is prepared to defend against this baseless lawsuit head on," Collins said.
For the Dolphins' part, general manager Chris Grier told media members at the NFL Combine this week they were aware of the suit and are still gathering information.
"For us," he said, "Tyreek has been a good addition for us, but in terms of all the off-field stuff, we'll have to get all the information before we can really comment on it."
Darius Rucker Improvisa con Tua Tagovailoa en Las Vegas... El arresto no le molesta

Tua Tagovailoa hopped on the guitar with Darius Rucker & Daniel Jones was in the house supporting 👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/F5Eb5uFNHj
Tua se unió al legendario cantante y compositor para interpretar su canción "Wagon Wheel" antes del Super Bowl en la Ciudad del Pecado y el dúo dinámico le hizo pasar el momento de sus vidas a la multitud presente.
Echa un vistazo al video, Darius se queda en la voz principal, por supuesto -el tipo tiene tres Grammys en sus estantes, por lo que está a cargo- pero Tua está justo a su lado, con gafas oscuras, rasgueando su guitarra acústica.
El joven de 25 años estuvo apoyando a Darius Rucker tanto con su guitarra como con su voz, ¡y no hay controversia de sincronización de labios aquí!
La multitud también se ve cantando, incluyendo el QB de los Giants, Daniel Jones, quien estuvo disfrutando con un par de amigos.
Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que lo hace. Tua mostró sus talentos musicales durante un episodio del ManningCast en diciembre, tocando su guitarra mientras los Jaguars se enfrentaban a los Bengals.

La actuación pareció llamar la atención de Rucker porque el viejo fan de los Dolphins le dijo que estaría dispuesto a improvisar con él en algún momento, ¡y parece que ese momento finalmente llegó!
Por cierto, Darius no se ve preocupado por su reciente drama legal. TMZ fue el primero en informar que Darius fue arrestado a principios de este mes por tres cargos de delitos menores, todos derivados de una detención de febrero de 2023.
¡Dicen que la música es buena para el alma y ciertamente parece estar manteniendo muy contentos a Darius y Tua!
Darius Rucker Rockin' Out w/ Tua Tagovailoa ... Arrest Not Botherin' Him

The legendary singer-songwriter was joined by TT for a performance of his song "Wagon Wheel" ahead of Super Bowl Sunday in Sin City ... and the dynamic duo seemed to give the crowd the time of their lives.
Check out the vid ... Darius' staying on lead vocals of course -- dude's got three Grammys on his shelf, so he's in charge -- but there's Tua right next to him, dark shades on, strumming away on his acoustic guitar.
Tua's not hiding in the back though ... the 25-year-old's supporting DR with both his guitar and his voice it appears -- no lip sync controversy here!
The crowd's belting away too ... with most of them ripping away on vocals -- including Giants QB Daniel Jones who's really getting into it with a couple buddies.
FWIW ... this isn't a stir-of-the-moment performance. Tua showed off his musical talents during an episode of the ManningCast back in December -- plucking away on his guitar as the Jaguars took on the Bengals.

The performance seemed to catch Rucker's eye ... 'cause the longtime Dolphins fan said he'd be down to jam with Tua sometime -- and that time finally came!
BTW ... Darius doesn't look like any of his recent legal drama's weighing him down -- we broke the story, Darius was arrested early this month on three misdemeanor charges all stemming from a February 2023 arrest.
They say music's good for the soul though ... and it certainly seems to be keeping Darius and Tua cheery!

Braxton Berrios & Alix Earle Get Matching Diamond Pandas ... Best Present Ever!!!
-
Exclusive Details
- 1 shares
Talk about charm-ing ... Braxton Berrios and girlfriend Alix Earle turned their super cute pet names for each other into shiny bling, copping two diamond-filled panda bear pendants!
TMZ Sports has learned the Miami Dolphins receiver recently hit up Sean Salci for matching necklaces for him and his TikTok star GF, whom he started dating in 2023.
"My boyfriend just got me the best present I've ever gotten in my life," Earle said on social media.
"We call each other panda and he got us matching panda diamond necklaces!"
We're told each piece contains solid, 14-karat yellow gold with 5 carats of VVS1 F diamonds. Top notch.
"The eyes, nose, and mouth all have custom-sized and shaped diamonds to really enhance the panda look we were going for," Salci said. "It was extremely important to keep the all-diamond look while maximizing the panda face concept."
We're not sure if Berrios rocked the piece to the NFL Honors show in Las Vegas on Thursday, but another athlete did wear a Salci piece to the event ... New York Giants QB Tommy DeVito.
We're told the 25-year-old quarterback copped a custom cross and necklace ... and you can clearly see the massive chain on DeVito's neck while on the red carpet and on television during the show, even prompting Keegan-Michael Key to make a "Goodfellas" joke.
Salci -- who also happens to be Tommy's marketing guy (he makes the jewelry through his family-owned jewelry business) -- told us DeVito's iced-out piece contains a total of 55 carats of diamonds.
It's unclear how much dough Berriors and DeVito dropped on the pieces.
Berrios signed a $3.5 million contract with the Dolphins last March and DeVito -- who went undrafted in 2023 -- signed a bunch of endorsement deals since becoming a star last year in Daniel Jones' absence.
In other words, they're good!

Tyreek Hill, Keeta Vaccaro Pack On PDA At NFL Honors ... After Divorce Case Dropped
Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro have clearly put their divorce case drama in the past ... the two packed on the PDA on their way to NFL Honors on Thursday -- looking more in love than ever.
Of course, the relationship looked like it was coming to an end just a couple weeks ago ... after Hill submitted a petition for the dissolution of his marriage in Broward County.
But, the Miami Dolphins wideout said it was all filed in error ... and, eventually, the case was dismissed earlier this week.
Now, the couple is putting on quite the united front, getting cozy before, during, and after the NFL's annual awards ceremony in Vegas.
The two shared a kiss in a car -- before Hill got a little bit handsy during a dance backstage. They also shared an embrace at the event's red carpet -- documenting it all on their Instagram pages.
"NFL honors with the wife," Hill said in a caption recapping the event.
The Dolphins star didn’t come away with any NFL hardware at the show ... but it sure looks like he and his wife went home happy nonetheless!

Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro are staying together after all ... TMZ Sports has learned the Miami Dolphins star's divorce case has been dismissed.
Broward County court records show the wideout filed to drop his petition on Jan. 30 ... just eight days after it was initially filed.

He added at the time that he "fired the f***ing bonehead that did that mistake."
Hill also said in a post on his X page that he and Keeta "are happily married and gone stay that way."
The two have presented a united front ever since the divorce filing went public -- Keeta shared some loving snaps of them on social media ... and she even traveled with him to last weekend's Pro Bowl Games in Orlando.
The two first tied the knot in Texas during Miami's bye week this season after years of dating ... with Hill telling reporters he felt it was just time to make things official.

The song's stood the test of time from outta rap's ringtone and snap music eras ... which the world saw in full force when TS put the dance in a global spotlight last month during a Chiefs playoff game.
The "Anti-Hero" was seen rocking out with friends in her luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium while celebrating her boyfriend Travis Kelce's wild card victory over the Dolphins.
Fans who have been on Hypnotic and Exotic all these years called Taylor's dancing a cringe moment for the culture, but the boys of F.L.Y. couldn't disagree more.
They say Tay Tay's surfing boosted their streams a ridiculous 700% ... and they wouldn't be mad if she just so happened to create her own 'Taylor's Version,' as long she raps on it.
F.L.Y. says their jam is the best one to come out of ATL yet -- but we might have to double-check with the city's music mayors, T.I. and Greg Street!!!

Tyreek Hill I Fired The 'F***ing Bonehead' Who Filed Divorce Docs
Tyreek Hill's circle is a lot smaller now -- 'cause the Miami Dolphins superstar said he had to fire a bunch of people off his team this week ... including the "f***ing bonehead" who filed divorce documents without his approval.
Hill and Keeta Vaccaro's union appeared to be coming to an end after just a few months ... when Broward County records in Florida showed the Super Bowl champ submitted the petition for the dissolution of his marriage -- which he later refuted.
The 29-year-old receiver cleared the air on a Twitch stream Thursday night ... saying he never gave his people the green light to file the papers.
"I just gotta say that it sucks that A, yeah, a lot of our stuff is public record," Hill said. "But behind closed doors, a lot of people got fired, too, for just doing things without a 'yes.'"
"It sucks that me and my wife gotta go through that. Like yeah, public records says it and right now we're in a spot of fixing it -- I fired the f***ing bonehead that did that mistake. Now it sucks."
Hill explained he had to confront his wife over the mishap ... saying they have another vacation planned too, so he wanted to make sure everything was good between them.
The two later shut down any speculation of a split ... posing together hours after the reports went public.
TMZ Sports broke the story -- Tyreek and Keeta secretly tied the knot back in November after years of dating ... and he later told reporters it was simply time to make things official.

Brittany Mahomes publica fotos muy amistosas con Taylor Swift
Patrick Mahomes se dirige a la siguiente ronda de playoffs, pero la persona más feliz en casa es su esposa, Brittany, quien publicó un montón de fotos con su nueva amiga.
La madre de dos hijos y ex estrella de fútbol universitario compartió las fotos de la noche del sábado, donde los Chiefs ganaron 26-7 y la diosa del pop Taylor Swift hizo su aparición.
Taylor y Brittany hicieron una serie de poses que van desde lo lindo y coqueto a lo francamente cringe... y otra amiga cercana -Lyndsay Bell- también apareció en un par de fotos.
Mahomes hizo referencia a sus chaquetas combinadas que lucían los nombres de sus novios en la parte posterior. En su pie de foto decían: "Twinning & Winning💯".
Como ya sabemos, Brittany y Taylor entablaron una rápida amistad en medio del romance relámpago de Tay con Travis Kelce, quien es muy cercano a Patrick y la familia Mahomes.
Además de encontrarse en los juegos, el dúo dinámico ha salido varias veces, incluyendo cenas en Nueva York, donde Mahomes se codeó con celebridades como Selena Gomez y Gigi Hadid.
Más recientemente, los amigos (junto con Bell) cenaron en Spago en Los Ángeles el fin de semana pasado cuando los Chiefs llegaron a la ciudad para jugar contra los Chargers.
Esta intensa amistad ha atraído reacciones mixtas, recordemos el "saludo de amigas" que causó cierto cringe en octubre, pero al dúo no parece importarle lo que piensen.
De todos modos, el dúo parecía estar pasándola en grande durante el juego, aunque Taylor parecía demasiado preocupada coqueteando con su hombre.
