Britt Reid has just formally entered a guilty plea to felony DWI in his car crash case after cutting a deal with prosecutors ... and the attorney for the victims tells TMZ Sports they are not happy with the situation.
The former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach -- wearing a suit with a yellow tie -- made the plea during a hearing in a Missouri courtroom on Monday morning ... nearly two years after he was accused of getting drunk and then causing a car crash that severely injured a 5-year-old girl.

Reid, according to KCTV5's Angie Ricono, told the courtroom while making the plea, "I regret what I did. I made a huge mistake. I apologize to the family. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone."
Andy Reid Says 'My Heart Bleeds' for 5-Year-Old Girl Badly Injured In Son's Car Crash
Prosecutors agreed not to seek a sentence longer than 4 years behind bars for Reid, the son of Andy Reid, in exchange for the guilty plea -- something that attorney Tom Porto says he and his clients are absolutely appalled by.
"The five victims of this crime are outraged the prosecuting attorney is not seeking the maximum sentence allowable by law," Porto said in a statement. "The defendant is a prior offender whose actions caused a five-year-old girl to be in a coma and seriously injured three others."
This is Ariel’s family.

Reid was facing a maximum of seven years in prison.
Reid allegedly caused the car crash back on Feb. 4, 2021 ... after authorities say he slammed his pickup truck into the back of a car. Officials say he was going 83.9 MPH in a 65 MPH zone just seconds before the collision, and had a .113 BAC 2 hours following the wreck.
The 37-year-old, who formally departed from the Chiefs days after the accident and has not coached in the NFL since, is due back in court for sentencing on Oct. 28.

There was a ton of action on the court at the U.S. Open men's final on Sunday ... but there was even more in the stands, 'cause Kendall Jenner couldn't keep her hands -- or lips -- off her NBA star boyfriend, Devin Booker!!
The couple has been inseparable recently -- they hit up the NBA 2K23 launch party in Los Angeles on Thursday, before jetting off to New York City for the weekend.
Jenner and Booker hit up a bunch of New York Fashion Week events throughout the weekend ... sitting front row in multiple flashy outfits.
Amid all the fashion week fun, KJ and DB showed up in Flushing Meadows as Carlos Alcaraz took on Casper Ruud ... and throughout the match, you can see they were passionately into each other.
At one point, the two even lean in for a kiss ... and Kendall caresses her man's chin.
But, they weren't just focused on themselves -- Kendall was spotted yelling in support as the match unfolded.
Remember, there were rumors Kenny and D-Book called it quits earlier this year ... but that's clearly not the case -- they look stronger than ever.

Miami Dolphins Massive Fire In Stadium Parking Lot ... Several Cars Destroyed
A huge fire broke out in the parking lot at the Dolphins vs. Patriots game on Sunday -- destroying several cars -- and according to at least one witness, it all started after someone left a tailgating grill on.
A spokesperson for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue tells TMZ Sports ... firefighters were called to Hard Rock Stadium at around 1:28 PM after multiple people had seen flames pouring out of cars just outside of the venue.
Thankfully, according to the spokesperson, "firefighters immediately worked to contain and place the fire under control" and there were no reported injuries.
Video shot by multiple people at the arena showed the inferno was massive -- causing huge amounts of black smoke to pour into the stadium.
One witness says the owners of the cars had no idea their rides were destroyed until they returned to the parking lot. Another said the blaze appeared to start after someone had failed to properly extinguish their BBQ.

One of the car's owners, Scott Dellorfano, told NBC Miami that his Mercedes S63 -- plus $3k he had in the vehicle -- were destroyed in the fire.
The somewhat good news to come for Miami fans during the day? Their team at least won, beating the Patriots 20-7.

No word on what exactly led to the meetup ... but Mike and Kraft seemed to have a lot to talk about throughout the duration of the game.
The day didn't go without an awkward moment, though -- At one point, Tyson went to give Kraft a fist bump, who missed the cue, but the two managed to clean it up at the end.

Former UFC fighter Elias Theodorou died Sunday following a battle with cancer. He was only 34 years old.
Theodorou had been courageously fighting stage 4 liver cancer ... but chose to share the diagnosis with only select people who were close to him.
Elias -- an outgoing and personable dude outside the cage -- was a heck of a fighter inside it. During his years in the UFC, Theodorou posted an 8-3 record with wins over Eryk Anders and Sam Alvey.
ET was also an advocate for the use of medical marijuana in combat sports ... believing the herb to be safer and more beneficial than prescription drugs.
Elias last fought in December 2021 ... against Bryan Baker at Colorado Combat Club 10, where he won by unanimous decision. Overall, ET was 19-3 professionally.
Back in 2018, Theodorou became the first "ring boy" ... when he worked the Invicta FC (all women's MMA promotion), strutting around the cage like Arianny Celeste.
We spoke to Elias at the time (March 2018) ... and he couldn't have been cooler.
Rest in peace.

Dallas Cowboys Fans Repeatedly Punch Man In Melee ... During Bucs Game
8:57 AM PT -- The Arlington Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports ... officers did respond to the scene and took an assault report. They added that one person involved in the fracas was ejected.
"Any criminal charges are pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation," a police spokesperson said.
Several Dallas Cowboys fans ganged up on a man during their game against the Buccaneers on Sunday night -- repeatedly punching the guy in the head before throwing him to the ground.
The wild altercation happened at some point during the Cowboys' loss to Tampa Bay at AT&T Stadium ... when several people wearing Dallas jerseys began heaving haymakers at a man wearing a black and yellow shirt.

It's unclear what started the brawl -- but video from the scene shows at least four people, including one woman, whaled on the guy before security stepped in to halt the action.
We've reached out to police to see if any arrests were made, but so far, no word back yet.
Fighting was seemingly commonplace at NFL games during the league's opening weekend -- because in the Falcons vs. Saints contest in Atlanta, one New Orleans fan threw a flurry of punches at a guy's face in the concourse.

The series of swings all appeared to land flush -- and it eventually led to a huge fracas in one of the corridors at the stadium. It's unclear here, too, if anyone was arrested over the commotion.
Meanwhile, in the Raiders vs. Chargers game, a fight got so out of hand, a woman was actually socked in the face.
NFL officials have yet to publicly comment on all the violence in the stands at games.

F1 driver Alex Albon had a serious health scare after being treated for appendicitis this weekend ... suffering respiratory failure and spending the night in the intensive care unit -- but luckily, he is expected to get back to 100% soon.
Williams Racing released the update minutes ago ... saying Albon had successful laparoscopic surgery on Saturday. But, things changed dramatically when the 26-year-old had post-operative anesthetic complications -- including respiratory failure.
The team says Albon had to be re-intubated and transferred to the ICU, where he spent the night.
Albon's condition improved overnight ... and he was taken off medical ventilation Sunday morning. The team adds he is slated to return home on Tuesday.
Despite the terrifying experience, Williams says Albon's focus is set on getting ready for the Singapore Grand Prix at the end of the month.
With Albon out, reserve driver Nyck de Vries -- a Formula 2 and Formula E champ -- stepped into the Williams car ... finishing 9th on the day.
Albon has scored 4 points so far this season ... and recently re-signed with Williams through 2024.

Gisele Bündchen Shows Support For Tom Brady ... But Skips QB's Game
Gisele Bündchen appears to be back in Tom Brady's corner -- just not, at least for Sunday night, physically ... 'cause the supermodel showed love for the QB on her social media ahead of his season-opening game, but skipped being there in person for it.
Gisele penned the sweet message to the 45-year-old on her Twitter account just minutes before he kicked off his 23rd NFL season against the Cowboys in Dallas.
"Let's go @TomBrady !," she wrote. "Let's go Bucs !"
The note, while short, is a pretty big deal -- considering multiple reports stated she was so furious with Brady's decision to unretire for this season, she temporarily stopped living with him recently.
Gisele, though, did not make the trip to the game -- a rare occurrence for the 42-year-old, who's often spotted celebrating the QB's success in luxury suites at stadiums.
Brady has yet to publicly address the reported rift between him and his wife ... but he did say when talking about his training camp absence last month that he had "a lot of s*** going on" at the moment.
However big the issues are off the field, Brady didn't let them affect his play too much against the Cowboys -- he looked solid, helping the Buccaneers cruise to an easy 19-3 win.

The man hit multiple people with the strikes ... dropping one guy -- and then seemingly KO'ing another.
That's when a woman -- who was wearing a No. 24 Raiders jersey -- tried to intervene.
In footage shot by a bystander, you can see she attempted to swipe at the man and then grab him to break it all up. But, the guy threw two left hands at her face -- and both blows appeared to connect.
The man then went on to punch a shirtless fan a few more times, before the clip ended.
No word on if anyone was hurt or injured during the mayhem ... and it's also unclear if any arrests were made. We've reached to cops, but have yet to hear back.

Some of the guys are hugging and embracing each other, and AE says ... "Look at these queer ass n****s, man. Look at the world I came to." There's a woman with him laughing in the passenger seat. There was a caption too ... "Dese n****s different."
It's unclear where exactly he was when he shot this, or when exactly it was filmed ... but in any case -- it appears to have been briefly featured on his very public page.
This is a big deal ... Edwards is a rising star in the league, so his words carry weight. The team doesn't appear to have addressed the issue just yet -- ditto for the NBA. Unclear what sort of punishment, if any, he'll receive.

How good is Joe Burrow? According to former Bengals star T.J. Houshmandzadeh -- he's, right now, better than Tom Brady!!!
The ex-Cincinnati wideout made the claim to TMZ Sports just ahead of the Bengals' season-opener ... saying the team's star quarterback is simply that good at the moment.
"He's top five," T.J. said of the 25-year-old signal-caller. "I don't know who comes out of the top five, but in no particular order, when you ask me who are the top five quarterbacks, I'm going to say Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen."

It's a bold statement, considering Burrow's only played in 26 regular season games in his career ... but T.J. tells us he's seen enough already to put him ahead of the G.O.A.T.
In fact, Houshmandzadeh said there's a chance Burrow could be as high as No. 3 on his QB list -- ahead of Allen and Herbert.
That all being said, T.J. is entering this season with cautious optimism for his former squad -- saying anything can happen in the NFL.
"I remember playing 2006 we had a really good year and we were all extremely young and then 2007, we were ass," the 44-year-old said. "And so, I would assume they're not going to do what we did. I'd expect the Bengals for the next six, seven years to always be in contention -- but it's not going to be easy."

Malcolm Jenkins thinks Eagles fans are in for a treat this season -- 'cause the former Philly star tells TMZ Sports he's a big believer in Jalen Hurts ... and thinks the QB will help the team win the NFC East.
We spoke with Jenkins out at LAX this week -- just days ahead of the Eagles' season-opener against the Lions -- and he told us despite all of the criticism surrounding the team's QB heading into this year ... he doesn't share many of the same concerns at all.
"He's got everything he needs," said Jenkins, who won a Super Bowl with Philadelphia in the 2017 season. "He's got the leadership, the ability -- he's got the weapons around him. And this season is the year where we need to see it."
Malcolm says the NFC East crown will ultimately come down to the Cowboys or Eagles, but he made it clear he thinks his former squad will win the title.
It's not the boldest prediction -- considering the Eagles got drastically better this offseason -- but many pundits have wondered if Hurts has what it takes to get the job done.
Namely, the detractors have said his accuracy just simply isn't good enough -- but Jenkins believes otherwise.
"They got a chance," Jenkins said. "They can make the playoffs by winning the division. Once they get in the playoffs, they got the pieces to do whatever they need."
