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.

Adam Schefter is adamant he doesn't use illegal streams to catch NFL games ... but if ya thought he was seriously bothered by the allegations -- think again, 'cause he just laughed off the claims in a hilarious chat with Pat McAfee!!

Schefter, of course, was accused of using MethStreams to skirt around Amazon Prime's paywall last week when the Jets vs. Texans were playing on "Thursday Night Football."

The ESPN insider posted a highlight from the game to his X page -- but after a watermark on the clip revealed it was from MethStreams -- many accused him of rippin' off the league he covers.

The reporter Joel Embiid shoved after a game this weekend will continue to go about his day job ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned the Philadelphia Inquirer is not pulling him from his Sixers beat after a confrontation with the NBA superstar.

Marcus Hayes -- a columnist at the outlet -- drew backlash after criticizing Embiid for not suiting up for games ... mentioning his late brother and son in a since-edited piece.

Embiid was furious over Hayes' words ... and approached the journalist after the Sixers' home game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, pushing him in the shoulder in the process.

10:32 AM PT -- Great news ... Dylan Holloway is back at the St. Louis Blues' facility following his scary incident Tuesday night -- and it seems he could return to the ice as early as this week.

He told reporters the puck hit a major nerve in his neck, which caused him to lose consciousness -- but tests have all come back OK since.

Sauce Walka has a provocative take in the wake of Donald Trump's crushing victory in Texas and the 2024 Presidential election ... he thinks it takes balls to operate the Oval Office!!!

The Houston rapper gloated on Wednesday by rubbing Team Trump's win in the faces of Kamala Harris supporters with a chauvinist dig on Elon Musk's X where he wrote, "Trump... this is a man’s job ... 🤷🏾‍♂️ love you ladies."

Sauce told his fans not to put more stock into the election than their own hustle ... but also got saucy reposting a fan who claimed his 9-year-old son refused to endorse Kamala simply because she's a woman!!!

There might not have been anyone in the sports world more fired up for Donald Trump's win than Le'Veon Bell ... who danced all over his haters in the minutes after DT was named POTUS No. 47.

The ex-NFL superstar filmed himself in a MAGA hat following Trump's big victory over Kamala Harris ... going off on those who ripped him for his support of Donald in the leadup to Tuesday's election.

"Y'all thought I was about to go somewhere?" said Bell -- who previously stated he'd leave the country if Harris secured the win. "Joke's on you. Joke's on you!"

Travis Kelce is sticking up for his older bro after his recent blowup on a spectator at the Penn State game -- saying he knows Jason has no hate in his heart.

Bronny James is quite the romantic despite being thousands of miles away from his lady ... 'cause the NBA rookie sent his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, a bouquet of flowers and a mushy love note during the Lakers' road trip.

Parker -- the daughter of actors Dondre and Salli-Richardson Whitfield -- got the beautiful delivery on Tuesday ... and shared the sweet gesture gift with her Instagram followers.

The present also included a letter ... with part of it saying, "Your BF loves you so much."

The Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia split just got a whole lot uglier ... with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards releasing a ruthless diss track aimed at the country music star.

The song -- titled "The Smallest Man" -- dropped Tuesday night ... with Portnoy and Richards continuing to show support for their "BFF's" podcast cohost following her bombshell split from Bryan.

In the song ... the duo makes reference to the country music star's 2023 arrest, being active on dating apps and accusing the singer of spreading STDs.

Jennifer Lopez is living for her single era ... rocking a white-hot revenge dress to the UK premiere of her new movie.

Former President Donald Trump is heading back to the White House -- he's just been declared the winner of the 2024 election, and will become the 47th President of the United States.

Joe doubled down on his reaction with the caption, ""WHOLE. LEE. S***."

Mark Cuban — one of Kamala Harris' most vocal advocates during her presidential campaign — is giving Donald Trump kudos for his big win in the 2024 election.

The billionaire mogul jumped on "X" Tuesday night after it became clear Trump was the victor against Harris and wrote, "Congrats @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well." Musk was a big backer of Trump during his campaign.

On the other hand, Cuban was a huge Harris supporter, acting as a surrogate for the VP in her quest for the White House.

Jason Kelce has received both support and backlash following his viral phone-smashing incident ... but ex-NBA player Rashad McCants is undoubtedly in the future Hall of Famer's corner -- telling TMZ Sports he has no issues with how the Eagles legend dealt with the unruly Penn State fan this weekend.

Kelce's recent outburst has the masses split ... with those in opposition saying he crossed the line by repeating homophobic slurs a man made about his brother, Travis, prior to spiking the cell on the pavement.

The former North Carolina Tar Heels superstar shared his two cents while out in L.A. this week -- before Kelce himself addressed the situation on "Monday Night Countdown" -- and he said the instigator should be counting his lucky stars it didn't escalate further.

While the baseball world knew Shohei was dealing with a shoulder injury, the torn labrum is news to fans ... with many applauding his efforts to push through despite obviously being in significant pain.
