If President Donald Trump decides to take a last minute trip to the Super Bowl -- don't expect Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey to lead the welcoming party!

For those unfamiliar ... 36-year-old Frey has made headlines for speaking his mind -- most recently when he made a video in which he asked if the city was really welcoming "f**king Eagles" fans to Minnesota.

So we asked if he would welcome Trump, too ... the answer? Not so much.

Frey did, however, say his dream celebrity meet-and-greet would be Snoop Dogg -- saying a Gin and Juice session with the rapper is on his bucket list!

... Unless Snoop suddenly becomes an Eagles fan.

Violence is not the answer ... even when it comes to Dr. Larry Nassar -- this according to Gabby Douglas and her mom who are strongly condemning the father who attacked Nassar in court.

Natalie Hawkins was at LAX with Gabby where she told TMZ Sports she knows exactly how Randall Margraves was feeling before he went nuclear in court ... since Gabby was also one of Nassar's victims.

"My daughter was one of the [victims]. I don't care how angry you are, the important thing is to maintain your emotions," Hawkins said ... "It's a bad example for the kids."

Gabby said people shouldn't fight evil with evil ... they should combat it with good.

If Floyd Mayweather fights in the UFC, Demetrious Johnson says he knows exactly how it'd go down -- "He'd get his ass whooped."

TMZ Sports spoke with the UFC's pound-for-pound king in Minneapolis ... and he laughed off the idea of Floyd competing in MMA -- even though there are signs the boxer might be legitimately interested.

But whether it's against him, Conor McGregor or any other UFC fighter ... Demetrious says Floyd can't hang, and "he knows it."

If Mayweather DID make the jump ... DJ says he'd have no problem showing TBE how much better MMA is than boxing -- by trying to SNAP HIS ARM.

Your move, Floyd.

HE NEVER MISSES!!!

Steph Curry's wife Ayesha has announced she's pregnant again!

Ayesha broke the news on Instagram saying, "Heyyyy how did this happen?! Curry party of 5. Feeling very blessed... and very sick. Yippie! #curryfor3."

Fetus Curry is the couple's 3rd kid -- she (or he) has got two big sisters ... 5-year-old Riley Elizabeth and 2-year-old Ryan Carson.

The kid will no doubt be adorable because that's just how things run in their family.

Steph and Ayesha were married in 2011 -- they met at a church camp when they were teenagers.

Le'Veon Bell says he doesn't wanna play anywhere but Pittsburgh ... but he wants a long-term deal ASAP 'cause the whole process is wearin' him out.

"I just wanna get a deal done. I'm tired of having to deal with this every year," Le'Veon told TMZ Sports at EA Sports' Pre-Super Bowl party in Minny.

Remember -- Bell skipped the entire preseason 'cause he wanted the Steelers to pay him what he's worth. Ultimately, he ended his holdout and signed the franchise tag for $12 mil.

But good news for Steelers fans -- the superstar RB told us they're "in a better spot" with negotiations than last offseason ... so stay tuned.

9:15 AM PT -- Margraves has been released from custody and will not be charged with a crime.

The father of 3 of Larry Nassar's victims went nuclear in a Michigan courtroom moments ago -- violently trying to attack the ex-Team USA doctor in front of the judge in his sentencing case.

Moments before the attack, Randall Margraves -- whose 3 gymnast daughters were victimized by Nassar -- asked the judge if she could grant him 5 minutes alone with that "demon" in a locked room.

When the judge denied his request, he tried to negotiate ... asking for one minute.

When the judge shot that request down, Margraves said he wouldn't let the court stop him -- and rushed at Nassar.

Multiple law enforcement officers rushed in and took Margraves down just before he got his hands on Nassar.

As he was being taken into custody, Margraves said, "I want that son of a bitch. Give me one minute with that bastard."

Some of the biggest stars in the NFL are weighing in on Tom Brady's father/son smooch ... the smackaroo that made a lot of people go "oh, ummm ok," when they saw it.

The PDA went down on Brady's Facebook show, "Tom vs Time" when TB planted one on his 10-year-old son, and the duration of the kiss for a lot of people watching was frankly ... weird (sorry, Tom).

We talked to both Travis Kelce and NFL Hall Of Famer Willie Roaf, and when we asked each man about the father-son kiss, they protected Brady like he was in the pocket for their squads.

Kelce did give Tom a little advice though, and it's pretty hilarious.

Good news, Browns -- not every top QB in the draft is scared of becoming the face of your franchise ... and that includes Baker Mayfield!

We got Baker at EA Sports' pre-Super Bowl party in Minny ... and the Heisman winner told us why he'd "absolutely" welcome an opportunity to do better than Johnny Manziel.

FYI, there have been rumors the top 2 QBs on the board, Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold, both ain't down with the Browns.

Speaking of Josh and Sam, Baker says he's every bit as good as those guys ... and (BONUS) told us something that makes us think things are getting serious with his hot new GF, Emily Wilkinson.

Charles Oakley is officially off the hook in his criminal assault case stemming from his altercation with NY Knicks owner Jimmy Dolan at Madison Square Garden last year ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Oakley was arrested back in February 2017 for getting physical with security who tried to remove him from MSG after a heated exchange with Dolan. It took an army of security to subdue Oakley.

The ex-Knicks star was charged with assault, harassment and criminal trespass ... but accepted an ACD (Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal) -- which would expunge the arrest from his record if he agreed to keep his nose clean for 6 months.

If he didn't accept the ACD, Oak would've been facing a maximum of 1 year in city jail if convicted.

Now that time is up -- and Oak held up his end of the deal ... so his case has been thrown out.

Anthony Scaramucci says T-Mobile has his politics all wrong ... Exhibit A -- he's a gay rights activist.

We got the former White House Communications Director at LAX Thursday and asked him about the nixed deal from the mobile carrier. TMZ broke the story ... T-Mobile offered the Mooch a mid 6-figure deal for a surprise Super Bowl ad. But then, the carrier pulled the plug.

Scaramucci's adamant it had everything to do with siding with Trump ... but he insists everyone take a look at his record -- he's been a gay rights activist his whole life. It's true ... his investment company has donated to pro-gay rights groups in the past and he's pushed for workplace equality.

Joey Fatone is so dead serious Justin Timberlake is NOT reuniting 'NSYNC during the Super Bowl halftime show, he bet our photog $1,000!!!

And the best part ... the bet was made IN MINNESOTA ... just a few miles from the site of the big game!

JT and Joey have been denying it for months, but rumors are swirling and our photog is clearly convinced Justin's getting the band back together on Sunday.

So, when Joey called our guy out Thursday night -- our guy put his money where his mouth is.

Better hope Lance, Chris and JC hop on a flight quick ...

Kirk Cousins is opening up about the blockbuster trade ... telling TMZ Sports why he's bummed to leave Washington but stoked about getting courted by guys like Von Miller.

With the Redskins trading for Alex Smith, Cousins is moving on -- he's the hottest player in free agency by far.

Cousins says he understands why Washington did what they did -- "Team's gotta do what's best for them" -- but says he'll really miss the people in Washington he's known since 2012 ... from teammates to the team chaplain to neighbors in the community.

Watch the clip -- you can tell Cousins is emotional about it.

The good news ... Von Miller has been saying he REALLY hopes the Broncos make a move for Cousins ... and Kirk's flattered.

"It's flattering to hear a player of Von's caliber speak nicely of me."

Wanna see Brooke Hogan covered in lube? Well, you're in luck.

Brooke was doused in some sort of slippery fluid Thursday in Santa Monica while trying to climb UP a slide. It wasn't just for giggles -- Brooke, Casper Smart, Drake Bell, Lil Mama, Selita Ebanks and several other celebs are taping a new season of 'Champs vs. Stars' for MTV.

Brooke and co. take on another team of retired athletes and celebs for the competition reality show.

Check out the video ... we can't tell who won this particular event.

Other than the spectators, that is.

No one can physically be two places at once, but Travis Scott is going to come pretty damn close Saturday before the Super Bowl.

The rapper has 2 gigs scheduled for the same night ... and they're about 1,500 miles apart. First, Travis has a show around 10:30 in Minneapolis, which is then followed by a show at 1:30 AM in Vegas Marquee Nightclub in The Cosmopolitan ... plenty of time for both.

Sources close to the rapper tell us, in order to lock Travis down, promoter Jefferson Agar of Twin Cities Live had to make sure he could attend both gigs. We're told they shelled out around $50k for a private jet that'll take Travis from L.A. to Minneapolis and then to Las Vegas ... all in the span of a few hours.

Tix are still available for Scott's Super Bowl gig ... so if you've ever wanted to see a time traveler -- or the next best thing -- you've still got a chance.

We all know what Bill Belichick's wearing on Super Bowl Sunday (hoodie) -- but his girlfriend Linda Holliday is going with A LOT more flair ... with a custom crystal outfit, and TMZ Sports has the pics!

Linda hit up Leah Miller at Bella Artistry who makes custom Swarovski crystal fashion items for a TON of athletes and their significant others ... and ordered up some fresh gear for SBLII.

Holliday will be wearing a special blazer with her BF's last name spelled out across the back and his initials on the arm. We're told the blazer has 3,500 crystals that were all hand-placed, one-by-one.

She also got a blinged out purse complete with 1,200 Swarovski crystals!

Bill's boss is a fan of Leah's work as well -- Robert Kraft is getting a special crystalized pair of Nikes ... customized for the Pats owner himself with 13,000 crystals!!!

Now all they need is another ring to match!

Consider these contestants the Cleveland Browns of game shows ... 'cause no one had a single clue how to score during the football category in "Jeopardy" ... and it's the funniest thing you'll see all day.

Check out the first contestant hesitantly call "Talkin' Football for $200" -- only because all the other categories had already been cleared out -- and you can tell by the sound of his voice things were about to go bad. Like, REALLY bad.

Alex Trebek tossed up a number of elementary answers like the definition of the quarterback option and fair catch ... and all he got in return was painful silence.

Ya gotta feel for Trebek ... who begs to cut to a commercial break to end his misery.
