Travis Kelce is used to taking hits on the field ... but he was blindsided by a blow off of it this week -- when "Jeopardy!" ribbed him with one of its clues!!!

The game show fired off the diss when a contestant asked to receive a hint from a category titled, "The TV Show In Question."

The $200 clue -- which host Ken Jennings read out loud -- stated, "'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' is hosted by this man who's maybe more famous as a BF than as a 3-time Super Bowl Champ."

While Jason Kelce has expressed remorse over his actions during a viral confrontation with a "fan" in Happy Valley last weekend, Penn State cops still have not been able to ID the man who started the altercation with the retired NFL star.

A spokesperson for the university police department tells TMZ Sports that they do not know the identity of the guy, adding no one has come forward to make a complaint over their personal property (smashed phone) being damaged.

FYI, an officer who observed some of the incident did file a report.

Some of her famous backers even claimed they'd head for America's proverbial doors with a Trump victory.

Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive is making it known he's got DeMar DeRozan's back amid the hooper's feud with Drake ... rocking a Kendrick Lamar shirt courtside when the Raptors came to town!

Cameras spotted the 67-year-old wearing a tee that said "They Not Like Us" for Wednesday's contest at the Golden One Center in Sacramento -- a clear message to the Toronto-based rapper after comments he made on Saturday's broadcast.

The beef was ignited after Drake was asked if the Raptors should retire DeRozan's jersey -- after having spent nine seasons in the Six.

The Trae Young vs. Knicks fans rivalry is back in full effect -- the Atlanta Hawks star jawed at a couple of New York supporters after their first matchup of the season -- telling 'em to skedaddle back to the Big Apple!!

The Knicks were in Atlanta to face the Hawks on Wednesday ... and their diehard supporters made the trip to check out the action -- making their hate for Young known throughout the contest.

But the three-time All-Star got the last laugh ... 'cause the Hawks won 121-116, with help from his 23 points.

The Rock's got a soft spot ... check out video of Dwayne Johnson at a recent movie premiere -- he stopped to take a selfie with a crying fan, and the interaction was super sweet!!

The adorable moment all unfolded at a "Red One" event last week in Germany ... when DJ noticed a young woman near the red carpet holding a sign that was asking the Christmas movie stars for a hug.

In video from the scene that Johnson shared on his X page on Thursday, you can see the woman was sobbing ... but the WWE Superstar calmed her down, and snapped some pics with her and her friends.

Noah Lyles is the Fastest Man Alive, but the Olympic gold medalist almost lost his title to a content creator ... narrowly beating IShowSpeed in a 50-meter dash!!

The wild showdown happened on Speed's live stream on Tuesday ... and $100k was on the line. If the Team USA hero got the dub, the dough would go to charity ... and if the internet superstar pulled off the upset, a random fan would get the fat payday.

After sorting out the specifics of the race, the two crouched down and waited for MrBeast to fire the starter pistol -- and they were off!!

Mark Wahlberg's Mexican restaurant went up in flames in Nevada ... and the footage showing Wednesday night's fire is downright shocking.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to throw down in just nine days at AT&T Stadium in Dallas ... and the Problem Child, along with his MVP promotions fighters, just struck a deal with Fanatics to produce limited-edition trading cards!

Beyond Paul ... the list includes Amanda Serrano, Ashton "H20" Sylve, Shadasia Green, Javon 'Wanna' Walton and Neeraj Goyat.

Rachael "Raygun" Gunn is done with competitive breaking ... she revealed this week she's calling it quits due to all of the hate that was spewed her way following her viral performance in the Olympics.

The 37-year-old made the announcement while on The Jimmy & Nath Show ... explaining that everything she went through in France and its aftermath has sapped all of the joy she used to get out of competing.

"I don't think people should feel crap about the way they dance," she said ... before adding, "I still break, but I don't compete. I'm not going to compete anymore."

Artem Chigvintsev says his bank account took a huge hit -- losing $100,000 in income -- after he was arrested for domestic violence against his estranged wife Nikki Garcia (Bella).

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Artem says he was still a working dancer despite Nikki's claims to the contrary after he lost his gig on "Dancing With The Stars." Artem says he regularly picked up dance jobs on Saturdays and Sundays, and each project would last 20 weekends.

But, after his bust, Artem says his mug shot spread across the media based on Nikki's false allegations, and his job opportunities dried up, leading to his $100,000 erosion of income.

Liv Morgan already considers herself the greatest Women's Champion of all-time ... but the WWE Superstar tells TMZ Sports if she's able to add another Tag Team title to her resume, her monumental 2024 will go down as the best year in the organization's history!!

While Bianca and Jade ran to social media to chirp some more after their encounter ... Liv says all that matters is coming out on top when they wrestle next week.

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.

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.
