If the Lombardi Trophy comes with a Hall Pass, we may have a beat on Drake Maye's post-Super Bowl plans ... 'cause an OnlyFans creator has invited the star QB to party in Miami!

Forrest Smith, a OF model who happens to be a big New England Patriots fan, posted video shading Maye's wife, while making the not-so-subtle offer.

"Okay, this might get me canceled, but I don't care. Did you guys see Drake Maye at the end of that AFC Championship [game]. He did not look happy," Smith said. "I don't know what's up with his wife. She kinda reminds me of a tradwife. She's like 23. He can do so much better than that."

"I know. I shouldn't say that."

Smith continued ... "I'm not doing anything after the Super Bowl, and if you win I think you could have a better time than going to Disney with your wife. Yeah, I'll be around."

Drake and his wife Ann just tied the knot in 2025, but have been together forever ... they started dating in middle school.

Maye was far less popular when they said their nuptials last year. In just his second season in the NFL, he became not just one of the most talked about quarterbacks, but also one of the best players, finishing second (behind Matt Stafford) in the MVP race, while leading the Pats to a Super Bowl appearance.

Forrest -- who has 335k followers on Instagram -- also sent a DM to the 23-year-old signal caller.

"Drake 👀," Smith wrote. "You didn't look too happy after that AFC win. You deserve to be celebrated! I'm excited to watch you crush it at the Super Bowl."

"Instead of Disney, why don't you come to Miami and hang with me? I have a fun party we can go to. Lmk what you think xo"

So far, Maye hasn't responded, but he hasn't left it on read, either ... as it appears he hasn't yet seen the direct message.

Big win for hockey sensation Gavin McKenna -- the felony assault charge levied against him has been tossed!

The Penn State hockey phenom -- widely projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft -- was originally staring down a serious legal mess after police charged him with felony aggravated assault ... plus misdemeanor simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct following an alleged altercation earlier this week.

The allegations stemmed from a confrontation near campus last weekend between McKenna and another man that escalated, according to the State College Police Department. Investigators initially claimed McKenna punched the alleged victim twice in the face ... leaving him with fractures to both sides of his jaw and a missing tooth, injuries prosecutors believed justified the felony charge.

But after reviewing video of the incident, the District Attorney’s Office says the evidence doesn’t support the claim McKenna intended to cause severe bodily harm -- a key requirement for aggravated assault.

The biggest story out of the 2026 Olympics so far has been reports of a penis-injecting doping scandal rocking the ski jumping community ... but officials say so far, it's nothing but a "wild rumor."

The news spread like wildfire on Thursday ... with outlets stating the World Anti-Doping Agency was keeping a close eye on crotches throughout the sport due to speculation athletes could be pumping their members with hyaluronic acid to get a leg up on the competition.

Why the heck would they do that?? The belief is athletes used the acid to temporarily increase their junk size during suit measurements ... which would result in extra fabric in the groin area -- adding lift to the uniforms to help them jump farther.

Sonny Jurgensen -- a Hall of Fame quarterback who played for Philadelphia and Washington -- has passed away at the age of 91.

The Commanders shared a statement from the family announcing his passing Friday morning ... saying, "his legacy will remain an indelible part of the city he loved and the family he built."

"We are enormously proud of his amazing life and accomplishments on the field, marked not only by a golden arm, but also a fearless spirit and intellect that earned him a place among the greats in Canton."

Druski and Tiffany Haddish had folks talking after the 15th annual NFL Honors Thursday night in San Francisco, but for the wrong reasons ... 'cause both had some brutal mispronunciations of Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Mike Vrabel -- with Druski even drawing the ire of one of JSN's teammates.

Druski -- alongside NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders -- was on stage to present the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year award ... which Smith-Njigba ended up taking home.

The comedian was close on the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver's name on the first go-around ... but then tried again, which sparked some fierce backlash online for the way it came out.

Most people with a ruptured ACL are scheduling surgery … meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn -- Olympic runs!

The ski legend is in the midst of pulling off one of the wildest comeback attempts in Olympic history -- successfully completing a crucial downhill training run Friday in Cortina, Italy … just one week after tearing her left ACL and getting airlifted off a Swiss mountain.

The 41-year-old icon -- rocking a heavy brace on her knee -- tore through the brutal Olympia delle Tofane course in 1:40.33 ... finishing 11th out of 43 racers. But the placement almost doesn’t matter … the real victory is that she checked the mandatory training box needed to stay eligible for Sunday’s Olympic downhill, where she’s chasing a fourth career medal.

"Nothing makes me happier!" Vonn posted to Instagram pre-race. "No one would have believed I would be here… but I made it!! I’m here, I’m smiling and no matter what, I know how lucky I am. I’m not going to waste this chance."

The pressure was sky-high heading into the run. Officials already canceled one of Vonn’s three training opportunities Thursday because of dangerous snow and weather conditions … meaning Friday was a must-deliver moment.

And because Vonn seemingly thrives in chaos, thick fog rolled into the course midway through the race, delaying her start by 30 minutes. Still, the American star stayed loose -- even dancing around with teammates while waiting for the green light.

If this sounds medically insane … that’s because it kinda is. Vonn insisted earlier this week her knee feels stable with minimal swelling … and she backed that up by posting workout footage showing her crushing weighted squats and other intense training.

A pretty wild mindset considering she was in a rescue helicopter last Friday!!!

Cortina also happens to be her territory. She’s racked up 12 total victories on the Italian slope -- and it’s a huge reason she came out of retirement for these Games.

Travis Kelce's fiancée might've skipped the NFL Honors and Super Bowl parties on Thursday, but Taylor Swift's presence was still felt ... with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar vibing to her biggest song right from the DJ booth!!

The tight end was nominated for the league's Walter Payton Man of the Year at the awards show ... and even though he didn't leave with a trophy, he was still in great spirits at the "'Tight Ends & Friends' Presented by Cash App and VISA" bash in the Bay Area hours later.

Kelce's "New Heights" podcast X account shared vid of him in a Loud Luxury sandwich ... with him positioned between Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace on stage.

The attorney who represented Jaxson Hayes' ex-girlfriend in a domestic violence lawsuit against the Lakers' big man is ripping the NBA after it handed down a suspension for shoving a mascot ... telling TMZ Sports he feels the league doesn't have its priorities in order.

Hayes was hit with a one-game ban for his run-in with the Washington Wizards' mascot on Jan. 30 ... and Waukeen McCoy is scratching his head at the Association's swift action.

"They gave him a one-game suspension, that's ridiculous," McCoy said.

Eric Dickerson is NOT backing down from his Bad Bunny stance -- and now he’s dragging the NFL into the fire!

The Hall of Fame running back tells TMZ Sports he's doubling down on the opposition to the global superstar's headlining of Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show.

Of course, Dickerson has been very outspoken about the choice … saying he'd rather anyone else play, insisting Benito should "keep his ass where he's at" in Puerto Rico.

So when we caught up with the NFL legend on Wednesday at the San Jose airport ahead of the big game … we had to ask if he’d changed his mind.

“Hell no. Absolutely not, man,” Dickerson said. “Why can’t we get somebody from right here, from home? How about someone from right here in San Francisco? All these artists right here in the area to play at the Super Bowl.”

Dickerson also questioned whether a Spanish-language performance would resonate with American audiences.

“He speaks English,” Dickerson said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be in Spanish or whatever. What sense does that make?”

The former Rams star then waded deeper into controversy … saying he doesn’t view Puerto Rico the same as the mainland U.S., though he insisted he has nothing against the island itself.

Dickerson wasn't done swinging.

He also blasted the league’s diversity efforts -- calling the Rooney Rule “a freaking joke” and arguing Black coaches still aren’t getting fair shots at top jobs.

“You can’t make a person hire a Black coach,” Dickerson said. “Owners are going to do what they want to do. You feel comfortable with who looks like you sometimes. That’s just it.”

ED also went after the league.

“They’ll do anything for money,” he said. “As an entity, the NFL is one of the most corrupt organizations there is.”

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is spending his Thursday apologizing to fans after he used the n-word during a livestream ... saying "there's no excuse for what I said."

McMillan issued the remorseful message on Instagram ... saying, "I sincerely apologize for speaking thoughtlessly and will do better."

The first-year player was playing Madden in "The Streamer Bowl," a charity esports tournament that has Twitch streamers and NFL stars on teams as they take on challenges.

T-Mac was streaming with YonnaJay and Tamir when the moment occurred. After intercepting a pass, he shouted the slur in excitement.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. will likely be spending his Super Bowl Sunday behind bars -- the ex-MLB player will remain in jail until a hearing next month -- with prosecutors pushing for him to serve a 10-year prison sentence for violating the terms of his probation.

As we previously reported, the 55-year-old was thrown in jail this week ... and now he's staring down the possibility of up to 10 years in prison.

Mahomes Sr. has been serving five years’ probation after pleading guilty in his 2024 DWI case, but authorities claim he broke the terms of his probation by allegedly drinking alcohol -- with the probation violation report stating he had a high reading on his SCRAM alcohol ankle monitor on Jan. 1.

Kurt Warner is calling out the Hall of Fame voting drama … telling TMZ Sports that selectors might be playing too many mind games instead of simply putting the right legends in Canton.

We caught up with the former Super Bowl MVP at the airport this week ... and he didn’t hold back on the selection process. Warner suggests this year’s results have plenty of people scratching their heads and wondering how certain all-time greats are still waiting for the call.

"I think most people feel like they didn’t get it right this year," Warner said, referencing the snubs of Patriots legends Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft.

Bad Bunny refused to spill even a single bean ahead of his Super Bowl Halftime Show ... remaining super tight-lipped about whether anyone will join him on stage on Sunday.

Benito held a press conference prior to the biggest performance of his superstar career ... and during the Q&A, he said while he might have joked about it on "Saturday Night Live," folks don't even have to learn Spanish to enjoy his set -- they just gotta dance.

Considering BB was a surprise appearance six years ago during Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's gig, Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe asked if he's enlisting anyone for that same role at Levi's Stadium ... and he wasn't budging.

It's only a matter of time until Ilia Topuria's back in the Octagon ... 'cause TMZ Sports has confirmed the lightweight champ has struck a deal with his ex-wife Giorgina Uzcategui, after previously claiming he was the victim of bogus domestic violence allegations.

The agreement, first reported by Marca in Spain, comes after Topuria posted a photo to Instagram on Thursday, showing him back in the gym training ... with a caption reading, "The Champ is back!!!"

We're told the 155 lb. champion went back to training "weeks ago."

It's still unclear when Ilia wishes to return to the cage, but it'll likely be sometime in the middle of 2026 ... and fans are pumped!

Super Bowl Sunday isn't just about football, it's also about the food ... and TMZ Sports has obtained the menu for this year's big game -- and it's sure to leave your mouth watering.

Levy Restaurants -- the hospitality team over at Levi's Stadium -- gave us a look at what their team has been working on ahead of the matchup ... and it justifies the price of admission alone.

If anyone in attendance is craving a burger, the LX Hammer Burger might be just what they're looking for. It features a fall-off-the-bone, braised bone-in beef shank, roasted mirepoix demi-glace and Point Reyes bleu cheese fondue on a house-baked brioche bun.
