Patrick Mahomes got a big penalty for a game, but not for a play ... as far as the refs were concerned, it was way more ominous.

The Kansas City Chiefs QB was fined just over $14,000 for what officials called a "violent gesture" toward the end of the game against Buffalo last Sunday.

Matt Gaetz had one hell of a whirlwind couple of weeks that began with him under consideration as Donald Trump’s attorney general ... and ended with him hawking vids on Cameo.

Here's the deal -- the former high-profile Florida congressman made headlines after DT picked him to be his attorney general ... a decision that shocked plenty of people given MG has been dogged by sexual misconduct allegations.

Days later ... Gaetz withdrew from consideration so as to not be a "distraction" for Trump.

9:46 AM PT -- Conor McGregor tells TMZ Sports ... he is planning to appeal Friday's decision.

In a statement, the UFC superstar said, "The judge's instruction and the modest award given was for assault, there was not an award for aggravated or exemplary damages. I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed."

On Wednesday night, Musk hopped on his social media platform, X, writing, “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock.”

Clearly, Musk was referring to the stock value of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, plunging if Trump had lost to Harris, but, of course, that didn't happen. Trump walloped Harris in the election and now he's about to take the reins again at the White House for his second term.

Diddy's got an offer on the table for his L.A.-area mansion ... with a major realtor and his company offering $30 million for the pad -- a fraction of the asking price.

Bo Belmont and his company, Belwood Investments, announced they've put in an offer for the property, which Diddy bought back in 2014 for just a hair under $40 million.

It's new team, new home for Derrick Henry ... TMZ Sports has learned the NFL star has parted ways with his mansion in Tennessee now that he's a Raven.

We're told the running back officially sold his Nashville pad on Tuesday -- some eight months after he signed with Baltimore -- nabbing a whopping $3.1 million for the place.

It's a ton of coin ... but check out the images, the home -- listed by Devin Roper of Compass -- is incredible.

Gene Wilder’s Bel Air home just had its price slashed by $3.5M, now sitting at a still-eye-watering $9.5M ... with a requirement that the future buyer must preserve the property's legacy.

The listing agent, Drew Meyers of Westside Estate Agency, tells TMZ the previous owner -- Elon Musk -- tacked on a restrictive covenant to the sale to preserve the historic nature of the property ... meaning the house that was originally listed in August for just under $13M can't be torn down.

Drew adds ... "A house of this significance should never be torn down. It should be restored and brought back to life while maintaining its beautiful soul. We want to make sure it’s sold to someone who appreciates its timelessness.”

50 admitted the abrupt announcements had him a little restless, but he promised to rev the studio back up with renewed energy.
