Tony Rock understands why people are putting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in A.I. videos ... but, he says it's got to stop ... 'cause there are some people you just don't mock!

We caught up with the comedian at LAX on Friday ... and we had to ask him -- from a professional comic's perspective -- about his thoughts on Sora-created videos featuring A.I.-MLK -- like the one of him in a WWE ring, or behind the counter at KFC, just to name a couple recent examples.

Rock says he draws the line at MLK ... saying he can see the humor in some of the videos depicting 2Pac and Biggie -- though they have legacies he doesn't want to see tarnished either -- but, the impactful civil rights leader is simply a bridge too far.

Jake Browning might have taken a backseat to Joe Flacco, but the quarterback's fiancée is still clearly in the spotlight ... wowing Bengals fans with a sexy gameday outfit on Thursday.

Stephanie Niles -- who's been dating Browning for years -- took to her Instagram page just prior to Cincinnati's kickoff against Pittsburgh ... and proclaimed her loyalty to her man and his team despite his recent benching.

She did it all while showing off a revealing 'fit that she planned to wear to Paycor Stadium to support Browning and Who Dey nation.

Aaron Rodgers went from elated to enraged in the blink of an eye during "Thursday Night Football" ... when his in-game celebration was derailed by a teammate knocking him to the ground.

Right after Rodgers completed a 68-yard touchdown pass to give Pittsburgh a 31-30 lead with a little over two minutes remaining in the game ... he hit his signature Mario Bros. pump as he was heading off the field.

During the gesture, his left tackle -- Broderick Jones -- wanted to show his QB some love ... so he came up from behind and gave him a big hug, which sent the two tumbling to the ground.

Newly unearthed video shows Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, talking smack about staff on one of the legendary coach's shows last year.

The show was slated to feature Belichick and his pals, Matt Patricia and Michael Lombardi, analyzing big football games ... but it was clear, neither Hudson nor Belichick were pleased with some of the presentation.

The WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire in a matter of days ... and Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young tells TMZ Sports that while there are plenty of issues still left to hammer out -- the biggest comes down to the almighty dollar.

We spoke with Young this week just after the Aces won their third championship in the last four seasons ... and we asked what the mindset is as the players and the league work toward a new CBA.

Young said the "biggest thing" for her and other players is simple -- "we get what we deserve."

Philadelphia 76ers forward Adem Bona learned the hard way to listen to his teammates ... 'cause his actions led to a car full of popcorn!!

The squad's veteran center, Andre Drummond, showed off the damage of the classic prank in a TikTok on Thursday -- Bona's Genesis was filled to the brim with some popped kernels ... and one of his tires was placed in front of his locker.
