Prince Amukamara -- one of Eli Manning's former teammates -- is going to bat for the ex-New York Giants star ... ripping Hall of Fame voters for not allowing the QB into Canton this year.

Amukamara -- who played with Eli from 2011 through 2015 -- told TMZ Sports out at Super Bowl week in New Orleans that Manning got screwed when the Pro Football Hall of Fame didn't include the signal-caller in the 2025 class that was announced on Feb. 6.

"Snub, dude," the former cornerback said emphatically. "Come on, man!"

Jake Paul has reached private plane status -- El Gallo just revealed he copped his own jet!!

The boxer also showed off the interior as well, revealing a dark oak and white interior design, beige seats that can lay flat like a bed, TVs, and his own flight attendant.

Marlon Wayans is currently entangled in a gnarly war of words with Soulja Boy ... but being the comedic veteran, he's the one giving out last laughs at the rapper's expense!!!

TMZ caught up with Marlon in West Hollywood last night and he couldn't resist an impromptu stand-up roast in Soulja Boy's direction.

Last month, Marlon ribbed SB a bit for performing at President Donald Trump's Crypto Ball, and the "Crank Dat" rapper finally decided to respond this week after releasing his latest album.

O.J. Simpson really killed it with the ladies ... with former "Saturday Night Live" star Laraine Newman revealing The Juice was a "good kisser."

Laraine did some kissing and telling Tuesday night on 'Watch What Happens Live' ... telling host Andy Cohen about her fond memories of O.J.

A bunch of 'SNL' alums -- Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Cheri Oteri and Cecily Strong -- were being asked if athletes made good 'SNL' hosts when Andy asked the women if they were on the NBC sketch comedy show back in the day when O.J. hosted.

Aaron Rodgers is likely moving to a new city this offseason, but one Steeler is hoping it's NOT Pittsburgh ... with safety DeShon Elliott taking to social media to say he'd rather see the superstar quarterback retire than be his new teammate.

Elliott -- a sixth-year safety for the Black and Gold -- was spotted in the comment section of an aggregator account on Instagram ... which stated Steel City was a potential landing spot for the four-time MVP.

Elliott wasn't thrilled with the idea of bringing Rodgers on board ... saying, "Leave his ass at the retirement home."

Kendrick Lamar's record-breaking Super Bowl halftime show doubled as a fashion trendsetting moment -- his viral bell-bottom jeans are completely sold out!!!

The flared-leg jeans cost $1,200 ... and more than 130 million viewers witnessed Kendrick perform inside the Superdome in New Orleans.

French luxury fashion house Celine tells TMZ the pair of jeans Kendrick wore for the historic moment were "Marco" style, in dark union wash denim.

Saquon Barkley and his Eagles linemen's Super Bowl bender is alive and well -- the jocks teamed up with Jimmy Fallon to shotgun some beers on Tuesday ... while the MVP, Jalen Hurts, elected to spray his booze instead of swallow it.

Barkley and Hurts appeared on "The Tonight Show" after beating the back-to-back defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.

During the show, Fallon mentioned a clip of Barkley deleting a beer in the locker room after the win ... saying he's never seen anyone do it that fast.

LiAngelo Ball isn't going into hiding after his ex accused him of walking out on their family ... the rapper and pro basketball player was spotted out with his new girl, Rashida Nicole, on Tuesday.

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the 26-year-old middle Ball bro and his lady leaving a California courthouse ... with both wearing white outfits -- and Gelo carrying a big envelope.

Gelo was just called out by the mother of his two children on Saturday ... with Nikki Mudarris claiming he admitted to cheating on her and getting another woman pregnant.

The feud between Patrick Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker clearly didn't end after they were separated on Bourbon St. last week ... as the two spent most of their Tuesday nights hurling insults at one another.

The barbs came just a few hours after video of the guys getting in a heated shouting match in New Orleans went viral.

First, it was Rocker who stated he wished he had "ruined" Mahomes' "bulls*** weekend even more" by punching him during their dust-up. Then it was Mahomes Sr. replying that he wanted Rocker to "keep my name out your loud mouth."

Travis Kelce is reflecting on his "tough" Super Bowl LIX loss after the Philadelphia Eagles blocked the Kansas City Chiefs from becoming the first team to win three straight Super Bowls.

TK admits he is beating himself up for his performance, telling brother Jason Kelce on their latest "New Heights" episode ... "Couldn't find a lick of momentum. I'm kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field."

He admits he wasn't following orders responsibly or acting as a leader to his teammates, explaining, "I put a lot of that on myself as the guy that's been in the building for 12 years and seen a lot of football and actually seen a situation just like this in the Super Bowl."

A Philadelphia Eagles fan isn't shaking off the euphoria that comes with getting engaged anytime soon -- especially because she got a ring before Taylor Swift!

Bride-to-be Kara Zuczek's now-fiancé Peter Grant popped the question Sunday night during Super Bowl LIX ... and she tells TMZ she could not believe it was happening because she had just discussed the Travis Kelce and TS engagement rumors.

Kara says ... "One minute, I was talking about the game, the Taylor Swift engagement rumors, and whether Travis Kelce would propose if the Chiefs won ... The next thing I knew, my boyfriend was down on one knee right there in the middle of it all!"

Robinson Cano's 42 years old, but he's adamant he could still be effective in the MLB ... telling TMZ Sports he could "for sure" still get some knocks in the Big Leagues.

The former New York Yankees superstar hasn't logged an official at-bat in The Show since the 2022 season, although when we asked him this week if he still believes he has pro juice left in him ... he didn't mince words.

"Oh," he said with a smile. "For sure. For sure! Yes!"

The Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers sent shock waves through the NBA ... and the worth of his debut jersey could create even more, 'cause TMZ Sports is told the threads could fetch up to one million dollars!

David Kohler, founder of SCP auctions -- who also has arguably the most impressive personal collection of Lake Show memorabilia -- tells us the purple and gold Lakers jersey donned by Doncic is likely worth "500K to 1 million" at auction.

It's unclear if the 25-year-old NBA superstar rocked the same jersey throughout the whole contest or if he switched out at the half ... but either way, the jersey would still fetch a fortune.

Wild scene from Super Bowl week -- when Patrick Mahomes Sr. got in a shouting match with fellow ex-MLB pitcher John Rocker right in the middle of Bourbon Street ... and things grew so intense, the two needed to be held back from each other.

Or ... was it all a set-up to promote a celebrity boxing match??

Footage of the apparent altercation is making rounds on Tuesday ... showing Pat Sr. chatting with some buddies as the former Atlanta Braves hurler approached him.

Al Sharpton didn't have a dog in the Super Bowl fight other than rooting for Kendrick Lamar's halftime show -- and he's dropping some historic stats on anyone who says his performance was too Black!

TMZ Hip Hop hooked up with the reverend Tuesday in NYC, just as news broke that Kendrick had broken the NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show record with 133.5 million watching it in real time!!!

Al certifies K. Dot's halftime as the best ever, and will surely buy a mug to hold all those tears conservatives might be shedding over the Super Bowl set.

Several stars from the original "Last Chance U" seasons are going after Netflix ... TMZ Sports has learned the former footballers are suing the streaming giant for millions following claims they got screwed over and defamed.

Multiple players from the 2015 and 2016 East Mississippi Community College football teams, including Ronald Ollie and John Franklin III, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles this week ... about a decade or so after they gained national notoriety from multiple episodes of "Last Chance U."

The documentary followed the athletes as they navigated through the rigors of EMCC seasons ... and according to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, Netflix and a host of other defendants, including the National Junior College Athletic Association and EMCC, netted some big profits after it all aired.
