Aaron Rodgers might have been M.I.A. during the Jets' mandatory minicamp ... but when one crying New York fan needed him the most Wednesday -- he was right there to lend him a hug!!!

The four-time NFL MVP was on the links in Lake Tahoe, taking part in a practice round for the famed American Century Championship. While on the course, Rodgers ran into a fan who wasn't looking for an autograph ... but for him to bring his favorite team the Lombardi Trophy.

"I just want a Super Bowl, Aaron," the weeping man told the signal-caller. "Please!"

Women of all nationalities and races are gluing the bristle brushes to their eyelids but Aries primarily targeted his "beautiful Black queens" in his viral PSA ... before calling the lashes ridiculous wastes of time.

Travis Kelce backed up the Brinks trucks to get Taylor Swift an awesome view for the Super Bowl ... 'cause he very well might have dropped $3 MILLION to secure a luxury suite.

TMZ Sports broke the story back in February -- Travis footed the bill so his family and friends could enjoy the Big Game at Allegiant Stadium in privacy ... and at the time, we were told the massive box cost well over a million buckaroos.

As it turns out, Trav seemingly spilled the beans on the actual price in a chat with fellow tight end George Kittle prior to SB LVIII ... and the potential nugget was caught on a hot mic for the Netflix show, "Receiver," which dropped on Wednesday.
