Donald Trump's recent praise for Patrick and Brittany Mahomes isn't resulting in a public endorsement ... 'cause the Kansas City Chiefs superstar said he's going to keep his political preferences to himself ahead of the election.

Mahomes met with the media on Wednesday as the team prepares for its upcoming matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals ... and during the presser, he was asked about Trump name-dropping his fam after Brittany showed support for the MAGA movement on Instagram.

The Chiefs quarterback sidestepped the question ... saying he will use his platform to encourage people to vote -- but not WHO to vote for.

In the footage, a BBC Sport reporter politely asked Grohl for any final predictions for the tournament at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club ... but the rock legend offered up only short, bland retorts.

An eyebrow-raising video of an apparent sex act was just streamed on Shannon Sharpe's social media account on Wednesday ... but the Hall of Famer is insisting it was not his doing.

After the NSFW clip was taken down, Sharpe sent a message of caution to his 3.2 million followers ... claiming he was the victim of a cyber attack.

We caught up with the 30-year-old safety after Da Bears' week one win against the Tennessee Titans. While it wasn't the most eye-popping debut stats-wise for the number one overall pick, Caleb Williams ...  he knows the special talent the quarterback possesses.

"Kid can throw the ball," Colbert said. "He's very smart and determined. His work ethic is second to none. His attention to detail and the game, you can tell he loves the game. [If] somebody loves the game and they put the work in, they're gonna see the results."

Tyreek Hill is placing (some) blame squarely on himself, saying he wishes he could "go back and do things differently" during his run-in with police ... while making it crystal clear, despite his prickly attitude, the cops had no right to get physical with him!

30-year-old Hill met with reporters in Miami on Wednesday -- when the All-Pro receiver was asked whether he could have behaved better during the traffic stop outside Hard Rock Stadium before Sunday's Dolphins game.

"My life is all about accountability. So right now, I have family members who are cops. We've had conversations. Yes, I will say I could've been better," Cheetah admitted from the Dolphins practice facility, adding, "I could've let my window down at that instant but the thing about me is I don't want attention. I don't wanna be like cameras out, phones on you at that moment."

Tyreek Hill is calling for the officer at the center of his controversial detainment to get the boot ASAP ... claiming his use of force during the traffic stop was "excessive, escalating, and reckless."

The Miami Dolphins superstar's attorney, Julius B. Collins, released a statement on his behalf ... saying his legal team thoroughly reviewed footage of the incident and noted several instances in which they believe the cop crossed the line.

Hill's team listed each issue ... stating the officer twice placed his hands around his neck, forcefully pulled him out of his sportscar and put him face-down on the pavement.

Jason Kelce's "Monday Night Football" debut shirt -- and his NSFW comment that accompanied it -- had nearly everyone in stitches ... including Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift!!

At least, that's what the Kansas City Chiefs star said on Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" ... revealing that when he and his girlfriend saw the whole scene unfold on ESPN this week -- they giggled hard.

"Me and Taylor were watching that," the tight end said, "absolutely dying laughing at it."

Donald Trump has some "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift following her decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris ... and he made his feelings on the matter abundantly clear.

The former prez called into "Fox & Friends" after the debate and Swift's highly-publicized endorsement ... and while 45 tried to seem calm and cool about the whole thing, he was a bit miffed by her decision.

As Trump put it ... He didn't even want Swift's endorsement to begin with, since he wasn't even a "Taylor Swift fan."

Taylor Swift wasn't the only megastar to throw her support behind Kamala Harris after Tuesday night's debate ... Caitlin Clark sure seemed to show she's got the VP's back in the race against Donald Trump as well.

Check out Swift's now-famous Instagram post -- Clark put a big ole heart on the love letter to Harris ... suggesting she, too, will be casting her vote for the Democratic Party's nominee in November.

The 22-year-old WNBA phenom hadn't previously indicated which way she'd go.

Dave Portnoy isn't gonna let politics get in the way of his Taylor Swift fandom ... saying despite them being on opposite teams leading up to the election, he's still the "King of the Swifties."

The Barstool Sports founder rushed to social media to react to the pop superstar's recent endorsement of Kamala Harris ... and considering he's a clear Donald Trump supporter, he says a bunch of people were interested in his thoughts.

While Portnoy is one of the most popular and passionate Trump backers, he's going with the "agree to disagree" route when it comes to politics.
