Torry Holt's wait for the Hall of Fame will end this week ... so says Isaac Bruce, who tells TMZ Sports he's sure his former Rams teammate will finally get the nod on Thursday night.

Holt is going up against 14 other modern-era finalists for as many as five spots in the 2025 class ... and it's certainly no given he gets a seat at the table -- 'cause the competition is stiff.

Legends like Eli Manning, Antonio Gates, Adam Vinatieri and Luke Kuechly are all in the mix ... but according to Bruce, Holt can stop holding his breath right now.

Taylor Swift It's Grammys Night, But I'm in Super Bowl Mode ... Chiefs Red at Awards Show!!!

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift's ready for next week's Super Bowl ... 'cause she's bringing her "Chiefs Red" era to the Grammy Awards Sunday night -- and, it looks like she's shouting out her boyfriend Travis Kelce in a tiny way.

The singer-songwriter is at Crypto.com Arena for the 67th Grammy Awards ... and, she pulled up in a low-cut red gown -- glittering underneath the bright lights of the carpet.

The color matches Kelce's red uniform ... and, eagle-eyed fans will notice the little "T" charm hanging down from the dress -- presumably a tribute to him.

Jon Stewart's got a message for sports gamblers ... don't do it -- or don't lose, at least -- because it forced him to get decked out in Philadelphia Eagles gear, pissing off his hometown crowd in Madison Square Garden.

Jon was rocking Eagles green from head to toe -- even had a bucket lid -- Saturday night at MSG, where he was watching his Knicks take on the Lakers. Normally, Jon's a beloved Knicks faithful, but some boos rained down on him ... due to his wardrobe.

He can thank Knicks star Jalen Brunson for all this -- they bet on last month's Eagles-Giants game, and since the G-Men came up short, Jon had to pay up ... in a Saquon Barkley jersey, no less! Jalen made sure to come over and compliment Jon's fit. 😂

President Trump pissed off Canadians with his announcement Saturday of new tariffs against America's partner to the north — and the tension between the two countries has already bled into the NHL.

The Ottawa Senators played the Minnesota Wild at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ontario on Saturday night — but the political drama took place even before the referee dropped the puck.

It all went down during the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Check out the video …  Ottawa songstress Mandia was belting out the American National Anthem in front of about 20,000 fans — largely Canadians — many of whom started to boo. But you gotta hand it to Mandia who powered through all the way to the end.

A Kansas City three-peat would thrill an entire region, but according to former New York Giants star Brandon Jacobs, it would NOT give the Chiefs claim to the title of GOAT dynasty.

In a sit-down interview with TMZ Sports this week, the former tailback said Tom Brady's New England Patriots squads will still have a leg up on K.C. in his mind ... even though they never won three Super Bowls in a row.

Jacobs says it simply comes down to Brady's Pats rosters doing more with less ... explaining, "I think Patrick Mahomes' team is better than Tom Brady's team."

Lakers, Mavericks Blockbuster Trade! ... AD For Luka Doncic 🤯

Published

Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis were just traded for one another in one of the craziest moves in NBA history!!!

It started as a normal night across the Association ... and then the league got flipped on its head with the shocking move.

The move, which also includes the Utah Jazz, will send 31-year-old AD to Dallas for 25-year-old Doncic, who was the face of the franchise.

The Lakers are also receiving Markieff Morris and Maxi Kleber from the Mavs, while L.A. is sending Max Christie and their 2029 1st round pick to Texas, according to Shams Charania.

The Jazz are reportedly receiving Jalen Hood-Schifino and two 2nd round draft picks in next year's NBA Draft.

Doncic, a 5x All-NBA First Team player, and Davis, a 10x All-Star, are two of the NBA's best players, and both likely future Hall of Famers.

It remains to be seen if the teams, especially the Lakers, are done wheelin' and dealin' (they seemingly have a big defensive hole at center).

The Lakers, 28-19, are currently in 5th place in the West, while the 8th place Mavs are 26-23.

The NBA trade deadline is Thursday afternoon.

Stay tuned!
