The most famous golf cart crash in college football history has a happy ending ... Will Howard just revealed there's been no fallout whatsoever from the Buckeyes' post-national championship accident.

The Ohio State quarterback told TMZ Sports on Wednesday while making an appearance at a Raising Cane's in Columbus that he, Ryan Day and Cody Simon are OK ... despite their ride running into a concrete wall following their victory over Notre Dame on Monday night.

Howard actually told us he's been super amused by the whole thing ... and he's hoping the woman who caused the mishap with a bit of a lead foot isn't beating herself up too badly.

NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan says he was left in a state of panic after his daughter, Isabella, was diagnosed with cancer ... but her dedication to defeating the disease helped calm his nerves.

The Super Bowl champ and his two daughters, Isabella and Sophia, spoke with People in an interview released on Wednesday ... and shared the emotional details behind Isabella's medical discovery in 2023 -- medulloblastoma, a tumor in the cerebellum.

Strahan -- who played 15 seasons with the New York Giants -- was shocked by the news ... admitting he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Former Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Lonnie Phelps was sentenced to probation this week ... over allegations he drunkenly crashed his SUV into a restaurant last year.

Court records, obtained by TMZ Sports, show Phelps submitted a no-contest plea to one charge of misdemeanor DUI in a Florida courtroom on Tuesday ... some seven months after officials say he was wasted when he slammed his vehicle into Red Shoe Island Bistro in Key West.

Documents show Phelps was ordered to spend the next 12 months on probation. He also had his license suspended for six months -- and he'll have to perform 50 hours of community service as well as enroll in DUI school.

It was the 9th inning, bases loaded, full count for Billy Wagner's Hall of Fame hopes on Monday -- his last chance for enshrinement in Cooperstown -- and when the 7x All-Star got the call he finally made it, he was overcome with emotion!

The 16-year veteran -- who narrowly missed out on making the hall last year -- was in his final year of eligibility on the ballot. Unlike the nine other times ... the tenth time was the charm for Wagner, earning 82.5% of the 75% needed to earn his spot among baseball royalty.

The emotion was palpable for the 53-year-old ... as he could only muster a "Thank you" to the person on the other end of the line. His wife, Sarah Quesenberry, was there to support her man -- but luckily, this go-around was great news.

Sydney Sweeney ditched her fiancé for a special plus-one at the Brooklyn Nets game on Tuesday ... catching all the action courtside with her 11-year-old movie costar.

The 27-year-old actress hit up the Barclays Center to watch the Nets' Battle of the Boroughs with the New York Knicks ... which ultimately ended with Karl-Anthony Towns and Co. coming away with the 99-95 victory.

Sweeney's partner, Jonathan Davino, was nowhere to be seen -- instead, she elected to have fellow "The Housemaid" cast member Indiana Elle join in on the fun.

Washington Capitals star Logan Thompson had an excuse for giving up a bit of a soft goal on Tuesday night ... but, warning, it's pretty cheesy!!!

In the third period of the Caps' tilt with the Oilers in Edmonton, Corey Perry snuck one by Thompson's right shoulder to make the game 3-2 ... but immediately after the score, the goalie argued it shouldn't count.

Thompson pointed at a plate of nachos that had been chucked onto the ice just seconds before Perry unloaded a slap shot -- making it clear the queso bites distracted him.

Roki Sasaki is getting a warm welcome in Los Angeles ... with the Dodgers' new star pitcher landing a personal meet-and-greet with LeBron James at the Lakers game!!

The 23-year-old Japanese athlete was front and center at the Purple and Gold's home win over the Washington Wizards ... getting a courtside view of King James' triple-double performance in the 111-88 victory.

The 40-year-old made sure to take a second to chop it up with the flamethrower ... shaking his hand as they exchanged pleasantries during shootaround.

The Nike sneakers Kobe Bryant wore during one of the most iconic moments of his career are up for grabs ... and TMZ Sports has learned the one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia could go for more than half a million dollars!!

The size 13 Kobe 8 Elites Bryant wore during the Lakers vs. Warriors game on April 12, 2013 are hitting the auction block ... the same matchup where the late Hall of Famer tore his Achilles in the fourth quarter, but nailed two free throws before limping off the court.

It was a true display of Bryant's toughness ... as he clearly was down for the count, but made sure to do his job at the charity stripe to tie the game at 109 with three minutes left.

Philadelphia roots are apparently thicker than blood in the Kelce household ... 'cause Fletcher Cox tells TMZ Sports he's sure Jason Kelce would cheer for the Eagles to beat Travis Kelce's Chiefs if they met in next month's Super Bowl.

A Philly showdown with Kansas City would happen if both teams pull out wins on Sunday ... and Fletcher is confident the Eagles will hold up their end of the bargain in a home tilt with the Commanders.

The former Birds D-lineman said he's expecting at least a 10-point victory ... although he did say he has big respect for Jayden Daniels and the rest of Dan Quinn's Washington team.

Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend is giving up her spot in Chiefs Kingdom for good -- Kayla Nicole says she's ready for another team to win the Super Bowl ... calling Kansas City's recent dominance flat-out "boring."

The influencer and "Special Forces" contestant shared her two cents on the Chiefs' quest for a third straight championship during an episode of "I Am Athlete Daily" on Monday ... and even though she was a staple at Arrowhead Stadium for YEARS in support of her former man, it's clear she's no longer pulling for K.C.

Kayla explained the success she witnessed all those years has lost its luster ... and she's actively rooting for the Buffalo Bills in this weekend's AFC Championship Game -- 'cause a Chiefs loss means there will be a new NFL king.

Marlon Humphrey just outed himself as a Chiefs hater ... taking to social media on Tuesday to pray the Bills, Commanders or Eagles stop Kansas City from winning its third straight Super Bowl.

The Baltimore Ravens star said on X he doesn't really have a reason for his Chiefs disdain ... other than merely, "We can’t let them keep getting away with this."

The Chiefs, of course, are just one win away from playing in yet another Big Game -- as a victory over the Bills in the AFC Championship at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday would give them a pass to the February classic once more.

A Los Angeles home belonging to NBA player Ty Jerome was burglarized last week, and cops tell TMZ Sports they're still on the hunt for the supects.

We're told the break-in happened at around 7:30 PM on Jan. 17 ... when thieves gained entry to the residence through a broken glass window.

Cops say the criminals took off a short time after getting in -- and as of now, it's unclear what -- if anything -- was taken. Jerome has been away from the area in recent days while on the road playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

AEW star Saraya is single -- the wrestler and her rock star boyfriend of six years have called it quits.

TMZ Sports is told Saraya -- who made appearances as Paige in WWE for a decade -- split from "Falling in Reverse" singer Ronnie Radke late last year ... and there were signs pointing toward it for more than a month.

The dead giveaway?? Saraya -- who went public with her romance with the controversial musician back in 2018 -- didn't give RR a shoutout on social media for his birthday (Dec. 15) ... which is pretty standard for lovebirds.

The Paul Skenes rookie card that baseball fans everywhere have been itching to get their hands on has just been found!!

Topps reported Tuesday morning an 11-year-old from Los Angeles pulled the ultra-rare 1-of-1 from a pack -- and now, the young collector will have some big decisions to make.

Auction houses -- including Goldin -- have been desperately trying to be the arbiter of its sale ... believing it could net a life-changing fortune.

Johnny Manziel and Josie Canseco are clearly still in the honeymoon phase ... as the couple couldn't keep their hands to themselves during a romantic getaway in Colorado.

The Victoria's Secret model shared some behind-the-scenes shots from her baecation with the Heisman Trophy winner on Tuesday ... and the lovebirds seemed to be having the time of their lives.

Johnny and Josie have never been shy about showing off their affection for each other ... and this trip was no different, with Canseco including a video of Manziel smacking her booty during a game of pool.

Four Chilean nationals who authorities believe had a role in the December burglary of Joe Burrow's Ohio mansion were arrested earlier this month, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Court documents we obtained show the suspects were taken into custody on Jan. 10 ... after officials say they saw signs during a traffic stop in Ohio that the quartet was involved in ransacking Burrow's property back on Dec. 9.

Authorities wrote in the docs that the men -- who were "illegally in the country or overstayed their permissions" -- were in possession of an LSU shirt and Bengals ballcap that they think were taken from Burrow's place.
