Future could just be the good luck charm the Atlanta Falcons need to take down baby mama Ciara's hubby Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks.

The rapper is standing right on the sideline for Saturday's NFC playoff matchup ... and it's likely no coincidence he's as close to the field (and Russ' head) as possible.

No sign of Ciara yet ... but she posted a pic Friday with the wife of another Seattle player so you gotta imagine she's in the building.

It looks like so far Future has the edge ... Russ is down 19-10 at halftime.

Future and ATL took it ... 36-20. Seattle was eliminated.

L.A. Chargers tight end Jeff Cumberland is welcoming all the L.A. haters with open arms ... saying the team will have Los Angeles locals on board by the end of next season.

The new Chargers logo was flashed on the big screen at Saturday's Lakers v. Clippers game at Staples Center and it was met with heavy boos. Cumberland was then shown on the screen too and was met by a mixed reaction.

Our photog spoke with Jeff at the game who made one thing clear ... it's all love.

Dana White could not be clearer ... Floyd Mayweather has stupid written on his forehead for dismissing his $25 million offer to fight Conor McGregor.

Dana thinks Floyd should be grateful to him for offering him enough to pay Uncle Sam and Pristine Jewelers.

What's more ... the UFC honcho thinks its ridiculous that Floyd is under the delusion he's worth more than Conor.

We got Floyd out earlier Friday, and he scoffed at Dana's offer.

New L.A. Rams coach Sean McVay just got a HUGE endorsement from Kurt Warner -- who says McVay's age -- he's only 30 -- won't change how the guys in the locker room respect him.

Warner is no doubt the best QB in Rams franchise history, so when we got him at LAX we wanted to know what he thought about the organization bringing in the youngest head coach in NFL history.

A lot of people have said McVay's age will be an issue ... the thinking being there's no way a locker room full of NFL vets can take a coach seriously who's the same age as Drake.

Kurt, who's also a finalist for the Hall Of Fame this year ... doesn't agree with that at all and tells our camera guy authority and respect trump youth every time.

Mike McCarthy's team is hot ... his daughter is hotter.

Meet 25-year-old Alex Noel McCarthy -- whose father is the head coach of the Green Bay Packers.

She's an actress living in L.A. She's a pretty big Cheesehead. And she likes beer.

Tupac Shakur's ticket stub to the Mike Tyson fight he attended the night he was shot has been in very few hands since then, but now it could be in yours ... if ya got a lot o' cash.

Tupac was at the Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight Sept. 7, 1996 at the MGM Grand in Vegas, and after a first round KO by Iron Mike, he allegedly handed his ticket stub to a man and said ... "Here you go boy, enjoy this."

The ticket stub was later bought by a guy who verified it was indeed the rapper's. Now he's looking to sell one of the last items 'Pac ever touched to the highest bidder. Shortly after Tyson's fight, he and Suge Knight famously brawled with rivals in a lobby, then drove off and got shot.

Goldin Auctions owner Ken Goldin thinks the ticket will fetch at least $25,000.

Listen up, ladies ... Erin Andrews is about to tell you how she almost messed up one of the sweetest storybook proposals of all time ... and the culprit was HER FEAR.

Undefeated boxing star Gervonta Davis -- Floyd Mayweather's top prospect -- says he's so sure he's gonna win his first world title on Saturday he's already got his victory vacation planned.

Davis has been destroying his competition since he turned pro, but has his first title fight this weekend against IBF super featherweight champion Jose Pedraza.

We got Gervonta out in NYC and asked him how he's preparing for the fight ... and he told us he's preparing for the post-fight turnup with an exotic locale in mind for himself and his crew.

Floyd's teaching the kid well ... watch him work below.

The NFL playoffs are in full swing ... which means it's time to make some freakin' money.

Here's pro sports bettor Brandon Lang with his go-to bet of the Divisional Round ... and he's expecting a high-scoring battle between Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott.

Boxing superstar Gennady Golovkin ain't brushing off the possible Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight ... saying the UFC star has a REAL chance to win.

Golovkin joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Friday night on FS1) and warned Mayweather not to underestimate the Irish champ.

Floyd Mayweather is shooting down Dana White's $25 MILLION offer to fight Conor McGregor ... saying simply, "You're a f**king comedian!"

Earlier Friday, White appeared on 'The Herd' on FS1 and made the official offer for the fight -- $25 mil each plus part of the Pay-Per-View profits.

Floyd was clearly INSULTED by the offer and told us to look at his watch ... a limited edition Hublot Laferrari which usually starts around $220k and can run up to around $350k.

The message ... Dana's number is WAYYYY too low.

Back to the drawing board.

Soulja Boy needs to clear the air about boxing Chris Brown -- telling us exactly why he's fighting, how the match will end ... and about his struggle to put down weed beforehand.

Soulja sounded focused and pumped about training when we got him Friday at LAX. He says there will definitely be a knockout ... no matter what Mike Tyson says.

He says last he heard -- from Floyd Mayweather -- the fight's happening in Vegas or L.A. ... but Soulja's just getting back from Hong Kong, and we're guessing he missed the update from Wack 100 that it's moving to Dubai.

Soulja also had one final message for Chris, and it's a little hard to believe.

Jerry Rice's daughter, Jaqui Rice, is one step closer to playing pro football -- she just got an invite to the L.A. Temptation mini-camp ... after impressing coaches at last week's tryout.

The 29-year-old has never played competitive football before -- but looked good running routes and showed some solid hands (runs in the family) during her workout for the Legends Football League.

Rice say she's "super stoked" about getting the invite to mini-camp ... but knows there's still work to be done.

"On to phase 2 of making the team!"

We previously spoke with Jaqui about her foray into football -- she says she got the right genetics.

Dana White just made his first official offer to Floyd Mayweather to fight Conor McGregor ... $25 MILLION EACH ... plus a Pay-Per-View split.

White just made the offer on 'The Herd' on FS1 -- after Mayweather claimed to have offered Conor $15 million.

For the record, White says Floyd never officially made that offer ... but his offer to Floyd is REAL.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is torn about the team's decision to relocate to L.A. ... saying he's still numb from the news and that "it hasn't really settled in."

Rivers -- who's spent his entire 13 year career in San Diego -- gets emotional talking about the move, saying he's sad to leave the city ... but hopes fans still cheer for his team.

Dallas Cowboys DB Orlando Scandrick has a pre-game ritual that powers him up before a game ... he bangs it out ... so says his fiancee, Draya Michele.

We got Draya & Julissa Bermudez leaving Catch in L.A. when we asked her what the rules are on pre-game lovin' in the Scandrick-Michele house.

Some athletes -- especially boxers -- say a little booty weakens the knees ... and with a HUGE playoff game against the Packers coming up on Sunday, the Cowboys need all knees strong.

Draya promises Cowboys Nation her man will be tip-top, because she says their lovemaking is the magical elixir behind Scandrick's success ... and he dips into that elixir before every game he plays.

Check out the below vid ... you'd play better too.
