1/28/2026 7:30 PM PT -- Haley's lawyer adds to the back and forth battle, telling us ... “Minnesota is so committed to protecting First Amendment rights that it recently passed a law allowing speakers to recover their attorneys’ fees if they are forced to endure a lawsuit for exercising those rights. We will be seeking such an award here.”

5:30 PM PT -- Legal counsel for Haley Kalil -- Matthew Bialick -- tells TMZ Sports ... “We moved to dismiss the complaint because Minnesota has a longstanding commitment to free speech, which is important now more than ever. Allowing a lawsuit to proceed against a woman for sharing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma would directly undermine those core values."

Bialick ends his statement to us with a counter to Matt's, saying ... "We believe the motion will be granted."

3:26 PM PT -- Matt Kalil's legal team scoffed at Haley's filing ... telling TMZ Sports she missed the point.

"Haley Kalil's motion to dismiss does not dispute the fact that she wantonly disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that resulted in widespread ridicule and unwanted attention," Ryan Saba of Rosen Saba LLP told us ... reiterating their stance that a "spouse does not have a right to expose private and confidential marital and sexual details for the purpose of profiting."

"We expect that the motion will be completely denied."

Haley Kalil is firing back at her ex-husband Matt Kalil after he sued her for shockingly claiming his penis size torpedoed their marriage ... and she wants his lawsuit thrown out of court.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Haley says Matt is cherry-picking comments she made on a November 2025 livestream ... and missing the point she was trying to make.

Haley says she praised Matt in the stream when she also described his penis as the size of two soda cans, and doubles down on her claim that his girth contributed to their 2022 divorce.

She says Matt had a "specific anatomical incompatibility that rendered a normal sexual relationship impossible" and says they had a "loving union that was ultimately hindered by an unfortunate physical incompatibility."

Bill Polian is setting the record straight regarding his alleged role in Bill Belichick's Pro Football Hall of Fame snub ... saying he voted to induct the 6x Super Bowl-winner, and he's got proof!

The longtime NFL executive and HOF'er read a statement on SiriusXM NFL Radio, saying he voted to enshrine Belichick, adding ... "the Pro Football Hall of Fame confirmed that fact through the auditors of the selection process."

All this comes after the 83-year-old couldn't get his story straight during two interviews on Tuesday ... hours after news broke that BB didn't make the cut. Polian first told Sports Illustrated he voted "yes" on Bill's candidacy ... but later told ESPN he was not 100% certain, saying he was 95% sure.

Lamar Odom is getting professional help -- TMZ Sports is told the NBA champion checked into rehab after his recent DUI arrest.

Odom entered a 30-day treatment program at the iRely Recovery facility in Los Angeles ... after his run-in with police sparked some triggers from his past that he wanted to address.

The former Lakers star is looking to shake marijuana  ... as he was afraid his smoking could lead to doing hard drugs again, his manager, Gina Rodriguez, told us.

Ty Law and Asante Samuel are reacting to Bill Belichick's crazy snub from the Pro Football Hall of Fame ... and both New England Patriots greats are beyond shocked the 6x Super Bowl-winning head coach missed the cut!

"This is some bulls***, man. This is personal. It's personal. I don't know what's going on in there," Law, a Hall of Famer who played for Belichick for five seasons in New England, told Babcock on Thursday.

"I think it's a huge black eye for the Hall of Fame because this thing was built, the Hall of Fame, for the greatest, the greatest athletes, contributors, coaches, whoever played the game, and he is the epitome of that. He is the greatest coach with the most accomplishments, period, in NFL history, and when you don't put him in on the first go-around, what is that saying about the Hall of Fame?" Law said.

Bill Belichick isn't letting his Hall of Fame snub keep him down -- the eight-time Super Bowl champion is out on the recruiting trail, gearing up for his second year at North Carolina.

Mekai Brown, a four-star recruit out of Connecticut, shared a photo of himself alongside the legendary coach ... stating it was from a visit on Wednesday.

Despite the internet being up in arms about Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer, it doesn't seem like he's letting it stop him from doing everything he can to build on his first year with the Tar Heels.

TMZ Sports is going live from the newsroom to discuss the day's biggest stories ... but we don't just want folks to watch and enjoy the conversation, we want y'all to get involved!!

Hit the comment section as Babcock, Lucas, Dylan, Luca, and the whole crew break down the most important topics of the day ... and we'll be interacting with viewers throughout the program between 1 and 2:30 PM PT.

YouTube, X, TikTok ... we're everywhere.

So tune in, make fun of us, share your two cents, sound off about your favorite team ... nothing is out of bounds.

Keith Bulluck was tough as nails over the course of his career, but he's no match for freezing temps and ZERO electricity ... telling TMZ Sports his whole family is struggling amid a gnarly winter storm.

We caught up with the Tennessee Titans great from Brentwood, Tennessee on Tuesday ... and he explained how he woke up on Saturday morning to find out his power was out -- and it still wasn't back days later.

Bulluck walked us through his yard -- showing trees knocked over all around his neighborhood ... with one even leaning over onto his house and in his driveway.

At the time, the New York native explained he's used to more than a dozen inches of snow when he prepares for storms ... but the real struggle came when rain poured down -- and then the freezing temps turned everything into ice.

Bulluck's family members weren't the only ones dealing with the power outage ... as tons of other households were in a similar boat.

The storm is so severe, officials announced on Tuesday at least eight people died due to the weather.

Fortunately for Bulluck, everyone in his household is doing okay.

We also chopped it up (rather briefly, due to the cold) about the state of his Titans ... and he praised hiring Robert Saleh as head coach -- as long as he comes in with a plan.

Tom Brady is just as confused as everyone else after Bill Belichick didn't get into the Hall of Fame ... saying he doesn't understand why he wouldn't.

The seven-time Super Bowl champ discussed his former coach on the "Brock & Salk: Seattle Sports Talk and Analysis" show on Wednesday ... after Belichick failed to secure 40 out of 50 votes to punch his ticket to Canton.

"You know, it's ... I just think that to me it's -- I don't understand it," Brady said.

Tyson Fury can't get enough of punching people -- the heavyweight champ officially announced he's returning to the boxing ring in April ... his first fight since 2024!!

The Gypsy King dropped an Instagram video on Wednesday ... weeks after he said he would come out of retirement.

Fury confirmed it's all going down on April 11 against 21-2 Russian fighter Arslanbek Makhmudov.

"I'm absolutely psyched! Ready today to fight! Come on!! The Mack is back," Fury said in the video.

Bill Belichick’s Pro Football Hall of Fame snub has turned into a full-blown mess … and now voters are starting to speak out.

After the legendary coach reportedly -- and shockingly -- failed to get in on the first ballot, fans immediately demanded answers ... and nearly 20 Hall selectors have now stepped into the spotlight, pulling back the curtain on what's usually a very secretive process.

Some have gone on record saying Belichick was an obvious choice and should've been a first-ballot lock ... while others have expressed frustration with how the results leaked -- adding to the chaos surrounding the decision.

Nominees must receive at least 80 percent of the vote from the 50-member selection committee to be inducted ... meaning 40 "yes" votes are required.

The rare public comments have only fueled the outrage, with fans demanding transparency and wondering how a coach widely considered the greatest of all time didn't clear the bar.

Even Hall of Fame inductees are voicing their outrage ... including FOX's Jimmy Johnson with a bizarre quote tweet.

A University of North Carolina spokesperson told TMZ Sports ... "It's hard to imagine a scenario where Bill Belichick is not a first ballot selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The greatest coaching resume in NFL history speaks for itself, and we are fortunate to have Coach Belichick leading our team."

Most voters remain anonymous, but more keep breaking the ranks … adding gasoline to an already raging fire.

Tuesday night in the NBA looked more like Fight Night ... with players in not one, but two games getting feisty on the hardwood, with one hooper having to be restrained all the way through the tunnel to the locker room!

The first scrap of the evening involved the reigning NBA champs (and '26 frontrunners), the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were playing the New Orleans Pelicans. Immediately after the final buzzer sounded ... OKC's Lu Dort and New Orleans' Jeremiah Fears got into a benches-clearing skirmish, where Dort put up a fist as the two were grabbing each other's jerseys.

Once they were able to separate the two players, members of the Pelicans staff had to hold Fears all the way back to the locker room, with Zion Williamson seemingly looking to catch up and calm him down.

Coco Gauff's racket-smashing tantrum at the Australian Open drew some backlash ... but not from Serena Williams, who came to the tennis star's defense -- and even offered some tips!!

Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, started it off ... going on X to write a message after Gauff took out her frustrations out on her equipment after losing to Ukraine's Elina Svitolina on Tuesday.

FYI, Gauff did not explode in front of the crowd -- she beat up the racket in the Rod Laver Stadium tunnel, but the cameras still caught the act.

President Donald Trump is no stranger to wanting voting results overturned (see 2020 election) ... and he's singing a familiar tune with the Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub -- calling the whole situation "ridiculous."

Nos. 45 and 47 weighed in on the legendary coach's rejection on Wednesday ... ripping into the fact that an eight-time Super Bowl winner didn't get in on his first attempt, while also sounding off on another issue he has with the NFL.

"It is the same mindset that gave pro football the new and unwatchable 'Sissy' Kickoff Rule, that made it possible for Bill Belichick to not be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame," Trump said.

Rashee Rice has yet to address abuse allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, earlier this month ... and that remained the case when we directly asked him about them at LAX on Tuesday.

TMZ Sports asked the 25-year-old for his side of the story after Jones, who never mentioned Rice by name in the allegations, shared photos of bruises and wounds on her body.

Rice, who wore a purple hat with a black sweatshirt at the airport, elected to stay quiet ... despite the NFL and his employer, the Kansas City Chiefs, acknowledging the claims ... with the former launching an investigation.

President Donald Trump might not say it outright, but it sure sounds like he's pulling for the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl ... which is interesting, considering team owner Robert Kraft previously claimed the two weren't on speaking terms anymore.

Nos. 45-47 was asked about the Big Game when he swung by "The Will Cain Show" while on the campaign trail in Iowa ... and he sang the praises of the Pats ahead of their showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.

"Bob Kraft is a friend of mine," Trump said. "I've watched that team, and you gotta hand it to him. He had the great team and now he's got the great team again."

Bill Belichick -- arguably the greatest football coach of all-time -- has inexplicably come up short his first time on the Hall of Fame ballot ... meaning the man with 8 rings will NOT be going into Canton this year!

As you'd expect, upon hearing the ludicrous news, everyone around the sport was left questioning ... how?

Belichick's resume is unmatched. He is a 6x Super Bowl-winning head coach, and he won two more as an assistant for the New York Giants. Bill was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year three times, and he won 333 games as an HC, including the playoffs.
