Rylee Arnold's relationship with USC football player Walker Lyons is just days old ... but it's clearly going well -- as she tells TMZ Sports she's "loving life" with her new man!!

Arnold and Lyons went Instagram official shortly after the "Dancing With The Stars" pro caught one of his Trojans games last month ... and it's apparently been smooth sailing ever since -- as Arnold was nothing but smiles when talking about the guy this week.

While out running errands in Beverly Hills, Arnold told us she's "super happy" with her tight-end love interest ... and called their dynamic "really fun."

Ex-NBA star Stephon Marbury believes his New York Knicks are in a position to win a championship right now ... but tells TMZ Sports he wouldn't mind adding a few more key players along the way.

We caught up with Starbury out in NYC this week ... and had to ask about all the speculation surrounding his former team's interest in acquiring two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

While Marbury didn't really weigh in on Giannis specifically, he did say he'd hold the door open for any major talent ... as long as they mesh with the other guys on the current roster.

Boxer Lamont Roach says his January bout against Gervonta Davis will be the fight of the year ... telling TMZ Sports he's gunning to shock the world and hand Tank the first L of his career!

We spoke with the 25-1 fighter ahead of his upcoming matchup with Tank, who will be defending his lightweight title in Houston, TX.

Some might consider it a mismatch ... considering Tank is one of the biggest stars in boxing, while Roach is still on the rise.

Kevin DiCicco, the man who owned Buddy -- star of the popular "Air Bud" movies -- and helped create the film series is in dire straits ... he's homeless, about to be kicked out of the shelter where he's staying.

TMZ spoke to DiCicco Saturday ... who tells us he's staying at a shelter down in San Diego, but his 90-day limit is coming to an end soon -- and, he has no idea where he'll go from here. It's the end of the line ... and, he's terrified.

Kevin -- who found future dog actor Buddy near his Yosemite cabin and took him in back in the day -- explains his next step seems to be living on the street ... complicated by the major health issue with which he is dealing.

Nick Bosa's political message after the San Francisco 49ers Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys ain't going unpunished ... 'cause the league just hit him with a manageable fine.

The four-time Pro Bowler was just hit with an $11,255 fine after he wore a white and gold "Make America Great Again" hat on the field after his team's 30-24 win over their longtime rivals.

ICYMI ... Bosa stopped by a postgame interview his teammates Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo were giving, flashed the hat, and then ran off toward the sideline. It's a pretty quick moment, but it sparked a pretty massive uproar.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are throwing down at the AT&T Stadium in Texas next week ... but, fans who can't wait to see the two brawl have another chance -- in the form of a pair of look-alike little people.

The MicroMania Tour -- a group that puts on gag-filled fights between little people -- is taking over The Nerd Bar ... a Vegas hot spot off The Strip, on Fremont Street.

In what they call "Micro Square Garden," two performers -- outfitted with fake tattoos -- will face each other down in the center ring.

Kirk Herbstreit's grieving the loss of man's best friend ... breaking down over his dog Ben's death live on-air.

The football commentator appeared on ESPN's "College GameDay" Saturday morning ... just two days after he announced he and his wife had to put down his golden retriever -- who traveled with him to many of his games.

During the broadcast, ESPN played a clip all about Ben ... with Kirk talking about how he was far more than just a dog or travel companion -- and, clearly Ben's still feeling very raw emotionally 'cause he could barely talk about Ben during the show.

Frankie Muniz had a real scare when the star was involved in a nasty crash during a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race … and was seen limping into an ambulance.

The race happened Friday in Phoenix ... obviously ending for the star-turned-driver who was involved in a multi-truck pile-up on the raceway.

Right after the wreck ... Frankie sure did look like he was hurting ... captured on video limping and hunched over, but walking under his own power.

Taylor Swift had a LOOOOONG dinner Friday night with pal Zoë Kravitz, and at the end of the evening it kinda showed!

TS and Zoe hit up Chez Margaux in NYC's Meatpacking District. The photo agency says they were there for 8 hours ... seems a little overblown, but it was apparently a long night.

On her way out, the superstar seemed a bit unsteady ... after all, how could wine not have been on the menu for a great French meal!?!

Stipe Miocic is returning to the Octagon after almost 4 years away for a fight against the legendary Jon Jones ... in front of a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden that could include President-elect Donald Trump!

With the UFC's heavyweight title on the line ... we asked 42-year-old Miocic whether he'd be down for 45 (& soon-to-be 47) to play Dana White for a night, and wrapping the belt around his waist if he defeat Bones.

"I'm not against it," Stipe responded, saying, "That'd be kinda cool to have a president do it. President-elect."

Well, the election is behind us ... at least for some. And Jason Kelce may have gotten the message, but did his brother? So we gotta ask ...

Delonte West has been arrested yet again, TMZ Sports has learned.

The Fairfax County Police Department tells us ... the former NBA star was thrown behind bars in Virginia on Nov. 2 -- after he was accused of trespassing.

The FCPD says the allegations came down on Nov. 1 ... after a person reported that West would not leave an area in Huntington that he was banned from. The FCPD claims the complainant showed officers video surveillance that corroborated their story. A warrant for West's arrest was obtained a short time later.

Steve Garvey grounded out during his run for public office in California ... but the Dodgers legend tells TMZ Sports there are only positives to take away from his first at-bat in politics!!

We caught up with the former MLB star shortly after the AP called his race against Adam Schiff for a seat in the United States Senate ... but despite the outcome, the World Series champ was proud of the work his campaign did.

"We're gonna end up with six to seven million votes, new platform in California for moderates," he said. "I'm very proud of the people for standing up. We've registered more people in 58 counties there. All the good things."

Jay Cutler isn't letting his recent DUI arrest keep him from having a good time ... the former NFL star made an appearance at the recent "Yellowstone" premiere.

The retired quarterback and his girlfriend, Samantha Robertson, stepped out in New York City Thursday evening, where they stopped by the party celebrating the highly anticipated return of the Paramount Network hit.

While Samantha posed with a wine glass in her hand, Jay was notably empty-handed for the pic ... which was smart given his recent arrest.

The football world is up in arms after two CRITICAL missed calls on the deciding play in Thursday night's Ravens vs. Bengals game. So, how does the league fix it? We asked the former VP of Officiating for the NFL.

Dean Blandino joined Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show on Friday (airs nightly on FS1) ... where we talked about everything from the play in question (where there actual fouls), to punishment for the refs who missed calls, to improving officiating moving forward.

"[Officials] would [welcome expanded replay]," Blandino, now FOX Sports' NFL and college football rules analyst, said of adding additional replay.

Jason Kelce has resurfaced in Los Angeles a week after he was caught up in that now-viral altercation with a Penn State fan ... and through one public outing in the City of Angels so far, he's avoided any sort of issues.

The former Philadelphia Eagles center was spotted grabbing smoothies at Erewhon with his wife, Kylie ... and while he was surrounded by plenty of customers who no doubt recognized him, every interaction he had seemed to be cordial.

Of course, while on his way to the PSU vs. Ohio State game on Nov. 2, that was anything but the case ... as he got into a dust-up with a man who called his little brother, Travis, an anti-gay slur.
