George Lopez I Quit Golf!!! Until Trump Passes DREAM
George Lopez is ditching his love affair with golf to stand in solidarity with DACA.
We got the comedian leaving the Laugh Factory Tuesday night in WeHo and asked him about Trump's first State of the Union address. GLo laughed it off, but then got serious about the DREAM Act -- which would allow undocumented children of immigrants to go to school, work and eventually become U.S. residents.
Seems like George had a few drinks before we got him, but it also seems like he's dead serious about the protest.
He's scheduled to host his 11th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic in May ... so, the clock's ticking.

Should Patriots and Eagles players have sex before the Super Bowl??
"GO FOR IT," says Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis ... who's debunking the myth that bangin' before the big game can mess with your mojo.
It's pretty simple -- if you're a studly NFL star, chances are you're getting PLENTY of action during the season.
So, TD advises not to break routine -- "Keep doing that, don't change."
He would know -- Terrell's a former Super Bowl MVP and 2-time SB champ with the Broncos.
Davis says the one exception is if they're NOT bangin' during the season ... but let's be real -- none of these millionaires get benched in the bedroom.

Saints' Alvin Kamara No, We Don't Hate Marcus Williams Yes, I Look Like Lil Uzi Vert
Saints' record-breaking rookie Alvin Kamara says the team is already over Marcus Williams' historic missed tackle against the Vikings ... telling TMZ Sports the team is 100% behind their guy.
Kamara also admits he looks almost exactly like rap superstar Lil Uzi Vert.
We got Alvin out at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport and asked him how the team responded to Williams after he missed Stefon Diggs with no time left on the clock, allowing the Vikings to pull off the Minnesota Miracle.
"Obviously he was down on himself, but we have a supportive locker room and we all picked him up and let him know that it's not just on you."
Now to the important news ... Kamara looks like Uzi, it's a thing. We asked him about it, and he addressed it, cooly and calmly just like Uzi would've. It's pretty uncanny.

Redskins' D.J. Swearinger Blasts Alex Smith Trade: 'It's Bulls**t!!'
So much for a warm welcome for Alex Smith in Washington ...
Redskins stud defensive back D.J. Swearinger is PISSED about the blockbuster trade that sent a young defensive star to the Chiefs in exchange for the Pro Bowl QB ... calling the deal "bullsh*t."
ICYMI -- Washington sent Kendall Fuller (arguably one of the best young corners on the team) and a draft pick to the Chiefs in exchange for the 33-year-old QB.
D.J. bashed the deal in a series of tweets this morning ... calling out his team for taking a step back:
"Never Saw Any Bulls**t Like This In My Life!! Idc who i rub wrong because you never sat in a meeting nor put in work with my dawg!!"
"People say they wanna win right but you throw away your best defender!?!? Somebody you can set a standard with?!?! #Defense will win championships!!"
"And We Took a Major Step down from the best slot corner In The Game!! No disrespect to nobody on my squad or coming to my squad but we basically took a step backwards by giving away (Fuller) who graded 90 overall which is Elite and hard too do!!! Smh."
8:50 AM PT -- Swearinger has apparently cooled down enough to give a shoutout to his new QB ... saying "Alex Smith Welcome To The Squad We Got Championships To Win!"

Donald Trump Jabs NFL at State of the Union 'Stand for the Anthem!'
Donald Trump used the State of the Union to take a not so thinly veiled shot at Colin Kaepernick and the NFL ... telling Americans they should all STAND for the national anthem.
Trump was praising 12-year-old Preston Sharp for putting flags on the graves of American military veterans when he pivoted and brought up the anthem.
"Preston’s reverence for those who have served our nation reminds us why we salute our flag, why we put our hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance and why we proudly STAND for the national anthem!"
The line drew a roar from the crowd. Trump smiled and pointed.
Of course, Trump's been on a tear against Colin and the NFL for months -- and previously said any player who takes a knee during the anthem should be punished by the league.
He also referred to a player who kneels as a "son of a bitch" and called for them to fired.

Terrell Owens Takes Hall of Fame Shot at 49ers
Terrell Owens is clearly still pissed about the way things went down at the end of his career in San Francisco ... because he just threw some Hall of Fame shade at the 49ers.
T.O. touched down in Minneapolis for the Super Bowl festivities when we asked if he thought he would finally get the votes to be enshrined in Canton this year.
Owens insists he doesn't give A DAMN about the Hall of Fame -- but if he DID get inducted, he would show no love to 9ers ... the team that launched his career.
Yeah, we know our question about picking a team to be enshrined with is more of a baseball thing -- but you get the point.
Of course, things ended nasty between Owens and the 49ers when a contract dispute erupted in the final year of his deal. He ended up leaving and signing a $49 million contract with the Eagles.
Despite all the drama, T.O.'s old 49ers QB Jeff Garcia tells TMZ Sports he strongly believes Owens belongs in the Hall.

Joe Biden Fingers Crossed for the Eagles ... Brady's a Boss
Joe Biden says he'll be rootin' hard for Philly this Sunday ... but the former Vice President doesn't seem 100% confident his Eagles will be flying high at Super Bowl 52.
Why?? In a word -- BRADY.
"I don't think they're gonna take out Brady," Biden told TMZ Sports at LAX. "Brady's awful good."
No disagreements here.
Still, there's no questioning Joe's fandom. Remember -- the ex-VP told Carson Wentz, "It's our year" last season ... and even advised former President Obama to "get on the Wentz Wagon!"

Blake Griffin shouldn't be mad at Lolo Jones for outing him as a bad kisser -- he should use it as a teachable moment and IMPROVE his lip game ... so says Marlon Wayans.

Nancy Kerrigan Hits the Ice With Pats Cheer Squad
I, Nancy ... am now a New England Patriots cheerleader!!
The figure skating superstar dusted off her skates and hit the ice with the Pats cheer squad Tuesday in Minneapolis ... teaching the ladies how to nail some of the basic moves right before the Super Bowl.
We gotta admit ... it's an accomplishment in itself that nobody busted their ass. Then again ... they have a 2-time Olympic medalist showing them the ropes.
But the teacher turned into the student when Kerrigan was handed a set of pom poms and joined the girls for a "Let's Go Pats" chant ... ON ICE!!
Guess this means Tonya Harding's rooting for the Eagles?

Floyd Mayweather Steps In MMA Cage ... Conor Responds
11:39 AM PT -- Sources connected to Floyd tell us ... Floyd rented out the entire Syndicate MMA gym in Las Vegas on Monday for a private workout session.
As far as the MMA training goes, we've spoken to multiple people and everyone is being VERY tight-lipped about what Floyd was working on inside the gym.
We obviously know he spent some time in the cage -- but no one will say if Floyd was doing actual MMA training or just getting his usual boxing workout in with a change of scenery.
FYI, a ton of legit pro MMA fighters train at Syndicate, including UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin, Jessica-Rose Clark, Mike Pyle and Julian Marquez.
11:28 AM PT -- Conor has seen the video and offered up some thoughts ...
"Hahahaha very good. Keep up the good work my son. Yours sincerely, Senior."
Well, here's Conor McGregor's dream come true ... Floyd Mayweather stepped into an MMA cage in what appears to be another attempt to bait the UFC star into another fight.
Floyd posted the footage on social media Tuesday -- one day after he took a shot at Conor for his #MCM ... which Floyd dubbed, "Mayweather Crushes McGregor."
Both Conor and Floyd made a killing off their superfight in 2017 -- but McGregor says he wants his next fight to be in the octagon.
So, how would that go? Oscar De La Hoya just told us the other day Floyd wouldn't last 10 seconds with The Notorious.
But we'd all probably pay to see it anyway ... and Floyd knows it.
