Von Miller Finally Tests Negative for COVID ... Battled Virus For Weeks

Published

Great news for Von Miller ... the Denver Broncos superstar is now COVID-19 negative -- this after he battled the virus for over two weeks.

Von tested positive back on April 16 ... saying his symptoms started a few days earlier with trouble breathing and a bad cough.

"My girlfriend she told me when I was asleep she said my cough it didn’t sound normal," Miller said at the time.

Von spent the next couple weeks fighting through the illness ... and you can see in video of him celebrating the Broncos' first-round draft pick on April 21, his cough was pretty gnarly.

But, Miller tweeted Thursday that a new test revealed he had beaten the virus ... saying, "Got my results back. Im 'negative' for Covid-19."

So far, Miller, Saints coach Sean Payton and L.A. Rams center Brian Allen are the only known NFLers to have contracted the virus.

But, all three are doing well now ... providing a glimmer of hope that we'll be able to see them and the rest of the league on football fields whenever the NFL eventually kicks off.

Will Ferrell Crashes Seahawks' Zoom Meeting ... Pretending to Be Greg Olsen

Published

Will Ferrell dropped in on a Seattle Seahawks Zoom meeting this week ... making fun of new tight end Greg Olsen and showing off his "yoga bod" -- and it was all absolutely hilarious!!

Ferrell and 'Hawks coach Pete Carroll have a friendship that dates back more than a decade (it's a USC connection) ... and to liven up a mundane football talk Thursday -- PC had the comedian call in.

The results?? They were laugh out loud funny ... with Ferrell pretending to be Olsen and firing off jokes left and right.

"Coach [Brian] Schneider, I just want to let you know -- I want to be real clear -- I do not do special teams," Ferrell said. "Not ever. Not if all 52 guys are hurt."

Ferrell also joked about a bromance with Russell Wilson -- "let's make a baby" -- and even took shots at Olsen's aspiring broadcast career.

But, the best part ... Ferrell poked fun at his bod -- and when the comedy legend pulled up his shirt, everyone on the call busted out in laughter.

"Does this look like the body of a 36-year-old!?" Ferrell said, still pretending to be Olsen. "I don't think so! I don't think so!"

The call eventually ended with the real Olsen joining ... and even he couldn't help but laugh at all the jokes, saying, "That was awesome!"

If we can't have football yet ... at least we've got this. Thanks, Seahawks!

Cristiano Ronaldo's Girlfriend Flaunts Quarantine Booty No Pants? No Problem!!!

Published

Forget sweatpants, Georgina Rodriguez is all about NO PANTS -- showing off her butt during quarantine ... and yeah, she's hot!

Yep, that's Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend -- who has a daughter with the soccer star -- doing some outdoor ironing while stuck at home in Portugal during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She also happens to be a fitness-aholic (duh, she's with CR7) so, it's no surprise she's got a killer body.

"Paños al aire," she wrote ... which means, "Pants in the air."

Rodriguez and Ronaldo have been together for years -- she gave birth to their daughter, Alana, back in 2017.

Ronaldo has 3 other kids -- 10-year-old Cristiano Jr. along with 3-year-old twins Eva and Matteo.

The ultra-fit family has been working out at their Portugal home like maniacs since the pandemic began ... constantly posting pics from their top-of-the-line home gym.

There are reports Ronaldo could head back to Italy soon to rejoin his Juventus soccer team as early as May 4 ... but with everything still so uncertain, we won't believe it until we see it.

Tyron Woodley To Israel Adesanya ... 'Quit Being a Bitch, Let's Fight'

Published | Updated

UFC star Tyron Woodley says he's sick of talking -- if Israel Adesanya wants the smoke, "stop being a bitch" and let's scrap.

Tyron and Israel have been going back and forth on social media lately -- but Woodley wants to set the record straight ... he's down to fight, period.

It's actually more respectful than it sounds ... Woodley thinks Israel -- the reigning middleweight champ -- is a dope fighter. He's said so multiple times.

But, Tyron recently said he wants to jump up a weight class from welterweight to middleweight ... which could set up a showdown with Izzy.

Tyron thinks Adesanya took his comments as a threat -- which escalated the trash talk.

Now, Woodley says he senses "a little bitch in the blood" and is basically calling out Izzy.

"If you ever wanna do it, get in touch with me. I'm not hard to find."

There's more ... Tyron also tells us about his immediate fight plans and why he's itching to get back in the Octagon as soon as possible.

Plus, hear why he's saluting Halle Berry!

CeeDee Lamb Cowboys' New #88 ... Dez Supports It!!!

Published
UPDATE

12:17 PM PT -- The Cowboys have made Lamb's jersey number officially official ... and Dez Bryant just weighed in on it all, telling CeeDee, "BE YOU and BE GREAT.."

UPDATE

AWWWW!!!!

Michael Irvin rocked it. So did Dez Bryant ... but the Dallas Cowboys officially have a new #88 -- 1st round pick CeeDee Lamb!!

It's a HUGE deal to rock that number in Big D -- especially following in the footsteps of legends like Mike, Dez and Drew Pearson -- but Jerry Jones made it clear he wanted to see the rookie in #88.

And, what Jerry wants, Jerry usually gets.

Remember, Lamb rocked #2 at Oklahoma -- but the NFL won't allow WRs to wear single-digit numbers in the league.

Lamb initially said he wanted #10 in Dallas ... but Jones made a compelling argument to switch to #88 ... telling reporters he hoped CeeDee would take the number to pay tribute to his friend and former Arkansas teammate, Jerry Lamb, who passed away this year.

"He was number 88," Jones said ... "I said in honor of my great friend that just passed this year we’re going to have his namesake come on here and wear old number 88."

"Just like Michael and Dez and those guys, and we’ve got us a wide receiver. And let me tell you one thing if he’s got the competes and heart of that Jerry Lamb he’ll be bad to the bone."

The jersey assignment hasn't been officially announced by the team yet ... but the NFL is already selling the Lamb 88s in the league store -- so you know it's only a matter of time.

As for CeeDee's say in the jersey process ... it's unclear how much influence he had on the pick -- but we do know one thing, this probably officially closes the door on Dez's dreams of coming back to the Cowboys.

Sad times ... but here's to new beginnings!

Kristin Cavallari Jay is 'Punishing' Me Financially ... He Says She's Being 'Completely Frivolous'

Published
UPDATE

9:39 AM PT -- Jay thinks Kristin is being excessive in her quest to buy her own place.

UPDATE

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jay says they already have several properties together, so another pad is just ridiculous.

UPDATE

According to the docs, Jay says they own two multimillion-dollar homes in Tennessee and have also committed to buying a multimillion-dollar condo at the Four Seasons in Nashville, so she doesn't need another place to call home.

UPDATE

Jay says Kristin purchasing another house would be "a completely frivolous and unnecessary expense."

UPDATE

In her response, Kristin says one of their homes is for sale and she doesn't like to stay in it because there is no internet, and they split time in the other house. She also claims construction hasn't even started on the Four Seasons condo property yet and Jay didn't object to the new place until he tried to use it as leverage in their divorce.

UPDATE

But, Jay thinks Kristin has plenty of space to spread her wings ... in the docs, he says they also have 187 acres of land in Tennessee, plus a 75-acre farm in Kentucky and a condo in L.A.

UPDATE

In her response, Kristin claims she emailed something to her financial manager -- who happens to be friends with Jay -- and that email appeared as an exhibit in one of Jay’s court filings. Kristin says she thinks either the financial manager gave it to Jay or Jay hacked her email.

UPDATE

Kristin says that would either be a major breach of trust by the manager or possibly a criminal act by Jay.

Kristin Cavallari claims Jay Cutler is already getting petty in their divorce by refusing to let her buy her own house, while also declaring he won't leave their current crib.

Kristin reportedly filed new docs Wednesday, and accused Jay of withholding money from her -- money she claims he had no problem with her spending last fall. According to the docs, things were bad enough in the marriage late last year, that she started house hunting and found something she liked. Kristin claims Jay "never objected" to her getting her own place.

She says she started the buying process, but stopped when she and Jay decided to give the marriage one more chance. That didn't last more than a few months ... Kristin says they realized "divorce was inevitable," and started talking about it in early March.

Kristin claims the nastiness started later that month when they got back from the Bahamas. In the docs, she claims Jay told her he would not release the funds she needed for the house. She thinks that was his way of "punishing" her.

It seems they also didn't see eye-to-eye on child custody. Kristin reportedly claims he tried to intimidate her into accepting a custody arrangement she deemed "unfavorable" ... and told her he wouldn't leave the Tennessee home they currently share.

Kristin claims living under the same roof with Jay creates a bad environment for their 3 kids, because he's constantly trying to pick fights with her in front of them.

As TMZ first reported ... Kristin's response to Jay's divorce filing accused him of "marital misconduct," but it wasn't about cheating. Her new filing makes it clear she thinks his decisions could cause "irreparable harm" to the kids.

Kristin wants out of their house now -- she's asking the judge to force Jay to release "her portion of their funds," so she can buy her own pad.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy says he personally called WWE and asked for help the day before his recent DWI arrest ... admitting he knew something was wrong and wanted to change.

Remember, 42-year-old Hardy was busted for drunk driving on Oct. 3 ... adding to his history of several alcohol and drug-related arrests throughout his career.

The Charismatic Enigma opened up about his struggles with the "After The Bell" podcast with Corey Graves this week ... revealing how going to inpatient rehab for the first time helped him face his issues head-on.

"I’ve learned so much in recovery ... just little things like one day at a time, just focus on today, not drinking or not drugging and just calling my sponsor every day and talking to another alcoholic man."

Hardy got candid about his conversation with Vince McMahon's org before his DWI, saying, "I called WWE and said, ‘I need help. I need treatment. There’s something wrong with me, with this alcohol thing.'"

Now, Hardy is focused on staying clean and sober ... and hopes that keeps him out of handcuffs.

"There’s something powerful about it when you admit what you are and you can like, own that ... and there’s a huge piece in my heart and my mind knowing that if I never drink again, I’m never going to get into any other trouble."

Hardy says he knows this is his last chance -- in and out of the ring -- and he's going to make the most of it.

NFL's Telvin Smith Gave Underage Girl $100 After Sex ... Officials Say

Published | Updated
UPDATE

7:06 AM PT -- Telvin Smith allegedly had two sexual encounters with an underage girl -- and officials say they have everything from DNA to audio recordings to prove his guilt.

UPDATE

In court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports ... officials spell out their case against 29-year-old Smith -- and it's pretty damning.

UPDATE

Officials say Smith met the girl at her work back in August 2019 ... and he pursued her hard, despite the girl's co-workers saying it was clear to the NFL star she was under 18.

UPDATE

Officials say Smith had sex with the girl just days later ... and offered her $200 for her troubles. The alleged victim told authorities she declined the cash at first, but says Smith ultimately "pressured her into taking a $100 bill."

UPDATE

The alleged victim told officials she later used that money to buy emergency contraception.

UPDATE

According to the court docs, the alleged victim says Smith told her "that if anyone raised concerns about them speaking, to say that Smith was serving as a 'mentor' to her."

UPDATE

The alleged victim claims there was a second incident in September 2019, when Smith picked her up in his Cadillac Escalade and they had sex inside the vehicle in a nearby parking lot.

UPDATE

The alleged victim told family members about the incidents -- and police were notified.

UPDATE

In November, investigators executed a search warrant and seized Smith's Cadillac Escalade to collect DNA evidence. Officials insinuate in court docs, DNA collected in the car matches the alleged victim.

UPDATE

There's more ... officials say the alleged victim also has voice memos from Smith in which he calls her "baby," requests that she spend the night, and makes kissing noises to her.

UPDATE

As we previously reported ... Smith was arrested Wednesday afternoon for unlawful sexual activity with certain minors. Records show he posted bond and was released late Wednesday night.

UPDATE

3:20 PM PT -- Telvin is smiling from ear to ear in his mug shot ... so it appears he's not too worried about the arrest.

UPDATE

3:16 PM PT -- Smith entered the Duval County Jail in cuffs ... wearing red and black basketball shorts and a black t-shirt -- new footage shows.

UPDATE
UPDATE

Smith reportedly turned himself in ... and, afterward, WJXT's Vic Micolucci reports law enforcement officials -- including SWAT and CSI technicians -- combed through his Florida home.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars star Telvin Smith has been arrested in Florida ... jail records show he was booked Wednesday on a charge of "unlawful sexual activity with certain minors."

Details surrounding the case are unclear ... we're working on it, but records show the 29-year-old was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and processed at 5:20 p.m. ET.

Jail records also show the 6'4", 215-pound ex-linebacker had his bond set at $50,003.

Remember, back in November, officials swarmed his home -- and according to police records obtained by TMZ Sports, it was because they received "information regarding a case of Unlawful Sexual Activity with Certain Minors."

Now, seems something significant has happened in the investigation ... with cops arresting Telvin on a similar charge Wednesday.

Smith was a stud for the Jaguars after being selected in the 5th round of the 2014 NFL Draft ... starting 69 games from '14 to '18 while making 1 Pro Bowl appearance.

He famously abruptly retired prior to the 2019 season ... writing on social media that he "must take time away from the game & get my world in order."

Cincinatti Bengals Officially Cut Andy Dalton ... Joe Burrow Era Officially Begins

Published
UPDATE

9:16 AM PT -- And, it's official ... the Bengals have formally released the QB.

UPDATE

The team put out a statement and a "Thank You" note to Dalton, calling him a "role model" during his time in Cinci.

UPDATE

The Cincinnati Bengals are releasing Andy Dalton ... officially handing over the keys to their franchise to #1 overall pick, Joe Burrow.

The move, confirmed by multiple NFL reporters, will obviously pave the way for Burrow to be the Bengals' Day 1 starter in Cincy.

32-year-old Dalton had a hell of a run for the team ... he was drafted in the 2nd round in 2011 and started 133 games through 2019.

Dalton made three Pro Bowl appearances in his 9-year career ... but new head coach Zac Taylor was clearly ready to move on and begin a new era with Burrow.

Don't cry too much for Andy ... he reportedly made over $80 MILLION in his tenure with the team -- and rumors are Bill Belichick is possibly targeting him to replace Tom Brady in New England.

By the way, we know his arm's certainly up for the task ... remember when the Red Rifle showed off his gun in the backyard with his kids this month?!!?

Yeah, heads up, Jarrett Stidham!!
