Shane Gillishad some familiar faces in the crowd for "Saturday Night Live" this weekend ... as San Francisco 49ers stars Christian McCaffrey, George Kittleand Kyle Juszczyk were present for his hosting gig.
Kittle posted the trio's NYC adventure to his Instagram page on Sunday night ... sharing some behind-the-scenes flicks from Studio 8H -- including a selfie with Mike Myers, who played Elon Musk in the episode.
The group also posed together for a picture on the iconic stage ... and despite Shane rocking a Philadelphia Eagles hat -- who beat the 49ers in the 2023 NFC Championship game -- the guys were all smiles.
Brandon Aiyuk's a speed demon on the gridiron ... but, he had to go very slow earlier this week -- 'cause a cop pulled him over in a new car thinking he may have stolen it.
Here's the deal ... Aiyuk recently purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk -- an SUV valued at around $90K. He drove it straight off the truck, and he says within two miles a cop pulled him over.
Aiyuk filmed his chat with the cop ... who mentions the wide receiver was cited for driving unregistered Dodge Chargers in California -- cars the officer says are routinely a target for thieves.
The NFL offseason is in full swing, and George Kittle is taking full advantage of his break from football ... not only sitting ringside for WWE's Raw, but also getting in on the action!
The 49ers star-tight end swung by the WWE event in Nashville Monday night ... hopping in the ring with the promotion's newest superstar and good friend -- Penta.
Rocking a red and gold luchador mask, the two entertained the crowd by hitting Penta's "Cero Miedo" line, which Kittle sometimes uses during his games. The two initially met in 2018 in New Orleans when WrestleMania was in town ... where they hit it off.
Ricky Pearsall is making 2025 a year of forgiveness ... saying he wants to forgive the teenager who shot him during a botched armed robbery in San Francisco, and wouldn't mind talking to the shooter.
The 49ers rookie opened up on his whirlwind rookie season during cleanout day at the team facility -- after his squad missed out on the postseason -- and as harrowing as the August robbery attempt was, the 24-year-old WR isn't making judgments about the teen's character.
"I don't know how he grew up," Pearsall said. "I can't judge him as a man just based off one action that he made. As violent as a crime as it was, god forbid him doing that to somebody else."
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was more like Santa Paws this holiday season ... 'cause he treated team WAGs Olivia Culpo and Kristin Juszczyk to some pet-centric gifts -- personalized portrait rugs of their beloved furry pets!!!
TMZ Sports has learned Kittle contacted designer Angel Arreola to make special pieces for the wives of his teammates, Christian McCaffreyand Kyle Juszczyk.

The theme was pretty obvious ... their four-legged friends.
Dana Stubblefield is on his way to being a free man -- his rape conviction was overturned last week -- and according to the former NFL star's attorneys, his first order of business when he gets out will be a bunch of family time.
Kenneth Rosenfeld and Allen Sawyer sat down with TMZ Sports just days after a California appellate court vacated Stubblefield's prison sentence ... and they said he's "euphoric" over the decision -- and is now looking forward to hanging with his loved ones.

"He's going to be with his family," Sawyer said of Dana's immediate plans. "If there's one thing that Dana misses the most, it's being with his family."
A bunch of quarterbacks are getting their linemen gifts this week, but Joe Burrow's presents to his boys were simply a cut above the rest ... as he got them all swords!!
The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. reported on Thursday night that the Bengals signal-caller scored some "authentic Japanese Katana swords" for Cincinnati's big men -- and let each one pick out their own.
"They are all unique," Dehner Jr. reported. "Each sword comes with its own story, from certain towns or battles."
De'Vondre Campbell's refusal to play last week is going to cost him ... he's reportedly now being suspended without pay for the rest of the regular season over his decision.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on X on Monday Kyle Shanahan is planning to sit Campbell down for the final three games after he wouldn't take the field at the end of San Francisco's "Thursday Night Football" loss to the Rams.
With the Niners' playoff hopes all but squashed, the ban will almost certainly spell the end of Campbell's tenure in the Bay Area.
It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, and a single moment to ruin one ... and Shawne Merriman says that's exactly what 49ers LB De'Vondre Campbell is about to experience!
"I think his reputation is done. I'd be shocked if another team decides to pick him up after the season because he now is going to be deemed unreliable," the retired former All-Pro told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs nightly on FS1) on Friday.
Of course, we're referencing an incident in the 3rd quarter of the Rams vs. 49ers Thursday Night Football game when the 9-year NFL vet refused to enter the game once Dre Greenlaw, who just replaced him in the starting lineup, went down with a leg injury.
De'Vondre Campbell is the least popular player in the San Francisco 49ers locker room at the moment ... with George Kittle and Charvarius Ward unleashing on their teammate for refusing to play during "Thursday Night Football."
According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Campbell told the team in the third quarter he was not going to enter the game -- despite the Niners being short on linebackers with Dee Winters and Dre Greenlaw battling injuries.
His (safe to say) soon-to-be ex-teammates weren't happy with how he handled himself during the 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams ... with star tight end George Kittle ripping into Campbell in his postgame availability.
Tragic news for Trent Williams' family -- the San Francisco 49ers star's wife just revealed their son was stillborn last month ... after losing his twin sibling earlier in the pregnancy.
Sondra -- who shares three daughters with Williams -- announced the heartbreaking loss on Instagram with a heartfelt video showing her pregnancy journey leading up to welcoming Trenton O'Brien Williams Jr. on November 24.
"My firstborn and only son, I've always wanted you, but God wanted and needed you more," Sondra said ... adding Trenton -- who weighed 4 pounds, 8 ounces -- was diagnosed with Trisomy 13, also known as Patau Syndrome.
Nick Bosachanneled his inner Donald Trumpduring the 49er's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... hitting soon-to-be number 47's signature dance move after picking up a sack, and the President-Elect loved it!
The 27-year-old 49ers star pass rusher celebrated his sack of Baker Mayfieldwith DJT's favorite dance move (ya know, the one he does during "YMCA"!) ... just two weeks after he wore a "Make America Great Again" hat while photobombing a live post-game interview on NBC.
Well, the celly caught the eye of President Trump ... who praised the Pro Bowler on Truth Social.
Nick Bosa's political message after the San Francisco 49ers Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys ain't going unpunished ... 'cause the league just hit him with a manageable fine.
The four-time Pro Bowler was just hit with an $11,255 fine after he wore a white and gold "Make America Great Again" hat on the field after his team's 30-24 win over their longtime rivals.
ICYMI ... Bosa stopped by a postgame interview his teammates Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo were giving, flashed the hat, and then ran off toward the sideline. It's a pretty quick moment, but it sparked a pretty massive uproar.
The NFL hasn't docked Nick Bosa any pay for his impromptu, on-field MAGA hat display last month -- but he says he'd welcome a fine if one does come down ... telling reporters this week, "It was well worth it."
The 49ers superstar donned the pro-Donald Trump cap just minutes after San Francisco beat the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27 ... and many have wondered if he'd lose some of his paycheck over it.
After all, the NFL has prohibited its players from wearing personal, non-league-approved messages.
Nick Bosamade it clear he's supporting Donald Trump for president ... the 49ers star defensive end crashed his teammates' post-game interview on live TV -- rockin' a MAGA hat!
The former Defensive Player of the Year pulled off the photo bomb after the Niners beat the Dallas Cowboys 30-24 at home at Levi's Stadium.
NBC reporter Melissa Stark was chatting with Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Isaac Guerendo when Bosa suddenly appeared in the frame from behind.
Ricky Pearsall made his emotional return to the field Sunday ... playing his first NFL game after taking a bullet to the chest during an alleged robbery attempt -- and, he just made his first catch.
The 49ers wide receiver pulled in a pass against the Kansas City Chiefs just moments ago in his first career game ... tackled after a gain of just six yards.
Not much to write home about for the typical NFL wide receiver ... but, Pearsall's journey is far from typical -- as you know Pearsall ended up in the hospital after cops say a man shot him while trying to steal his Rolex in San Francisco.
