Kelly Stafford just seemingly took a huge swipe at some of her biggest critics ... appearing to blast them as "insecure men" -- while praising her NFL star husband, Matthew Stafford, in the process.

Kelly's been in the crosshairs of many haters this week ... after she confessed on the "Off the Vine" podcast that she dated one of Stafford's backups while at the Univ. of Georgia in order to make him jealous.

People flocked to her social media pages with mean remarks -- and after apologizing to former Bulldogs signal-caller Joe Cox for unintentionally getting him wrapped up in the drama ... she took to IG Thursday afternoon to apparently fire away at the trolls.

Trevor Lawrence is having the BEST offseason ... just days after he inked a massive contract extension with the Jaguars, the quarterback and his wife revealed they're now expecting their first child together!

Trevor and Marissa -- who got married three years ago -- made the announcement in a joint statement on their Instagram pages on Thursday ... sharing pics of them holding a sonogram.

"A little Lawrence on the way 🤍," Marissa said in the caption.

Draya Michele is dragging her ex-boyfriend, Tyrod Taylor, to court ... she just filed a lawsuit against the NFL quarterback, claiming he screwed her on a house deal.

The 39-year-old model said in the suit, obtained by TMZ Sports, that Tyrod purchased a Los Angeles-area home back in August 2022 ... and let Draya and her kids move in. She claims that at the time, she entered into a verbal pact with the 34-year-old signal-caller that would allow her to one day buy it from the football player.

She says the two agreed that any contributions that Draya made to the property -- such as improvements to the place or mortgage payments -- would go toward the final purchase price of the home ... if she ultimately chose to buy it.

Randall Cobb's house was engulfed in flames this week, and now the veteran NFL wide receiver is sharing video of the damage, with the longtime pro saying he feared his vehicles were going to blow up!

The 33-year-old former Packers star explained what happened at his Tennessee estate ... where he, his wife Aiyda, and their three kids were at home at the time of the incident.

"First and foremost, we are all safe and healthy," Cobb said in an Instagram post. "We got out of the house and I was able to go back in and get our dog, Louie."

Antonio Brown used offensive language on his social media page yet again on Wednesday night ... calling Jared McCain a homophobic slur during the NBA draft.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers star typed out the f-word as McCain -- an ex-Duke guard -- was being taken by the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 17 overall.

The post -- which was made on top of a McCain TikTok that showed the hooper dancing around with a shower cap and painted nails -- appeared to be an attempt by Brown to be funny ... but there weren't many laughing in the comment section.

A sexual assault lawsuit filed against Dak Prescott earlier this year has just been dismissed.

According to online court records, a Colin County, Texas judge threw out the suit on Wednesday.

The Dallas Cowboys star's attorney, Levi McCathern, said in a statement to TMZ Sports the judge found that the suit "lacked merit."

Kelly Stafford is addressing the "media storm" that followed her confession about dating a Georgia backup QB to make Matthew Stafford jealous ... apologizing to the man some folks THOUGHT she was referencing in the anecdote.

In case you missed it ... Kelly appeared on the 'Off the Vine' podcast earlier this month, where she recalled how she landed her now-husband when she was a cheerleader in Athens. During the show, she admitted to going after his backup first to get his attention ... and, of course, the plan ultimately worked.

However, the social media commentary afterward was not about relating to Kelly and Matthew's slow start ... it was more on ID'ing the unnamed backup -- and many assumed it was Joe Cox.

The San Francisco 49ers are distancing themselves from Dr Disrespect ... with the organization saying it is taking his underage messaging scandal "seriously."

The popular streamer is currently embroiled in a massive controversy ... after a former Twitch employee accused him of making inappropriate contact with a minor back in 2017, leading to his ban from the platform in 2020.

The Doc admitted to having "mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate" on Tuesday ... but adamantly denied doing anything illegal.

Russell Wilson may be Mr. Unliiiiimited or DangeRuss, but he really should go by Muscle Wilson from now on ... 'cause the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback showed off his swole bod in a recent boxing session!!

The 35-year-old veteran -- who signed a one-year deal with the Stillers in March -- shared a snippet of himself in the ring on Tuesday ... and you can't help but notice Russ' physique (especially his biceps) as he hit the mitts.

Fans were impressed with the 9-time Pro Bowler's performance ... with one saying in the comments, "Oh boy he’s working on stamina and awareness he finna be dangeruss😳"

Things between Bill Belichick and his 23-year-old girlfriend definitely appear to be serious ... as TMZ Sports has learned the couple has been living together for months.

Sources close to the duo tell us ... Jordon Hudson moved in with 72-year-old Belichick at the ex-New England head coach's home in Hingham, Mass. right around the start of the new year -- and since then, where one goes, the other isn't far behind.

We're told the duo has hardly spent any time apart since the move-in -- even when they're away from their now-shared residence.

Move over, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift -- the Kansas City Chiefs got their own romance brewing ... courtesy of a new Christmas flick!!

The Super Bowl champs announced their move into the movie biz on Tuesday ... saying the organization is teaming up with Hallmark Media and Skydance Sports for a project titled "Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story."

The flick -- which will air on the Hallmark Channel -- is slated to begin filming next month ... and stars Tyler Hynes, Hunter King and Ed Begley Jr.

Travis Kelce ain't trying to have bad blood with Taylor Swift's exes ... that much is clear, based on the artful sidestep he made when 2 of her former BFs awkwardly came up in conversation.

During the NFL star's appearance on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, Travis was asked about Taylor's mega-hit, "Karma" -- the one where she sings about a "guy on the screen coming straight home to me" ... or, at least, that's the OG line.

For the non-Swifties out there, it's a reference to British actor Joe Alwyn.

Chandler Jones reached a deal with prosecutors this month to close out his domestic violence case ... and, for now, the former NFL star has dodged jail time.

According to Nevada court records, Jones reached the pact with Clark County prosecutors on June 17 -- agreeing to plead no contest to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. In exchange, the other misdemeanor DV charge he had been facing was dropped.

The 34-year-old was sentenced to 90 days behind bars -- though it was suspended ... and, according to the records, if the ex-pass rusher keeps his nose clean for the next six months, the case will be dropped entirely -- and he'll avoid jail time altogether.

Isaiah Buggs' tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs is over after just a few months ... as the team officially released the 27-year-old player following his second offseason arrest.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero broke the news Monday morning ... saying the Chiefs decided it was best to move on from the troubled defensive tackle.

Isaiah was arrested back on June 17 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. after being accused of breaking into a woman's house and dragging her down the stairs.

Jared Goff got a ring -- the Detroit Lions quarterback tied the knot with his stunning model fiancée, Christen Harper, over the weekend!!

Goff rocked a snazzy black tuxedo and bowtie for the occasion ... and Harper had on a strapless white gown and veil.
