A PRESIDENTIAL WELCOME

Donald Trump just arrived at the annual Army-Navy Football Game ... and to say he did so to a thunderous applause would be an understatement.

The President-Elect showed up midway through the first quarter -- he's got seats in a private booth with a protective glass shield -- and fans went nuts. It's unclear who Trump's pulling for, but the Army team prepped him a personal locker ... so maybe they've got a leg up.

Either way ... Army's gonna need any and all support they can get, the team's dropped 14 straight to Navy.

Published | Updated

LeBron James and company pulled an awesome gag on fans Friday night ... "Rickrolling" the sell out crowd before dominating the Miami Heat.

The Cavaliers held '80s Night at The Q in Cleveland ... and when it came time for starting lineups, the scoreboard switched from its standard pump-up vid to the prank.

LeBron with long hair looks ... good? And Khloe Kardashian might want Tristan Thompson to bring home that Jheri curl wig.

Just for giggles, check out LeBron Jr. after the game -- the 12-year-old sunk a half-court shot like it was nothing. Get that kid an awful 80s outfit.

HAPPY FOR DETROIT

Matt Millen says all traces of his work in Detroit are "long gone" ... and he couldn't be more proud of how the Lions have bounced back into one of the best teams in the NFL.

Of course, Millen was the President and CEO of the Lions from 2001 to 2008 and posted a 31-84 record during his run with the team and took responsibility for the results.

Now that it's been 8 years since his ousting, Millen says there's ZERO hard feelings -- he's thrilled for the city of Detroit and incredibly impressed by QB Matt Stafford.

Since he was also a part of the infamous 2008 Lions team that went 0-16 (though he was let go in Week 4), we asked if he had advice for Browns fans on how to get through their toughest season ever.

Theo Epstein Steve Bartman Is Welcome at Wrigley But Leave That Guy Alone!!

Published | Updated

LEAVE STEVE BARTMAN ALONE ... so says Cubs GM Theo Epstein ... who says Cubs fans should back off Bartman for good -- unless he CHOOSES to come out of hiding.

Of course, Bartman is the guy who was blamed for blowing the Cubs playoff run in 2003 when he interfered with a foul ball. Fans demonized him and basically ran him out of town.

But now that the Cubbies are World Series Champs, what should become of Bartman?

We asked Theo, who says the guy is more than welcome back at Wrigley ... but the team isn't going to pressure him to come out and make an appearance.

Basically, the ball's in his court.

FEELIN' LIKE SHAQ-RADAMUS

Rick Fox is serving up a big "I Told You So" to anyone who balked at his prediction League of Legends would outgrow the NHL ... and says their recent historic sell out of Staples Center is proof he was right.

We had talked to Fox a little while ago at LAX (guy flies more than Superman) and he'd told us he thinks eSports has a chance to pass the NHL as the nation's fourth sport.

Some balked at the idea ... but that was before the recent League of Legends championships sold out Staples center in an incredible 45 minutes and drew 36 million viewers ... something that doesn't happen in the NHL.

When we got Fox -- who, of course, owns an eSports team -- at LAX ... it was time for the 3 time champion to win another ring ... at gloating.

Khloe and Lamar Legally Single Life Right Around the Corner

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian's free to start planning a Christmas wedding to Tristan Thompson, now that she and Lamar Odom are finally single in the eyes of the law ... or they will be very shortly.

According to their final divorce docs, stamped by the judge ... their split will be legal on December 17. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the exes both waived spousal support. As for their assets ... Khloe and Lamar are splitting their production company, Khlomar, and a checking account right down the middle.

She's keeping her interest in DASH Boutique and he's keeping his NBA 401(k) plan. They'd already sold their marital home, and Khloe's keeping the Calabasas home where she currently lives.

This brings their glacial-paced divorce proceedings to a close. Khloe first filed divorce docs in December 2013, withdrew it after his near-fatal OD ... and then refiled in May 2016.

The end.

Everyone knows Drake is a huge fan of the Gonzalez twins -- Dylan and Dakota -- stars on the UNLV squad. He's been seen at their games before.

But this time, Drizzy followed the Running Rebels on a road trip to cheer on his ladies -- and we're told once word spread he was on campus, a bunch of students raced to the gym to catch a peek.

TAKE IT FROM ME ...

Eddie George says the white-hot Dallas Cowboys will sweep both the MVP and Rookie of The Year Awards ... with one player ... telling TMZ Sports Ezekiel Elliott should WIN THEM BOTH.

The Cowboys have multiple guys up for both Trophies (Dak could slide into either one as well) but when we got George out in NYC he made it clear ... Zeke deserves em both.

It's been done before ... NFL great Earl Campbell pulled the feat off back in 1978 ... and Eddie thinks Zeke is having a beastly enough season to get on that guy's level.

BTW -- George, a Heisman trophy winner, also gives us a little insight on what it's gonna be like for the dude who takes the award home.

Adrien Broner Loses Threesome Sex Tape Case ... Protect Your 'Ho Phone'

Published | Updated

Adrien Broner just learned the hard way ... if you're going to record a threesome on your phone -- DON'T LET IT GO PUBLIC!!!

A Nevada court just ordered the boxer to fork over $175,000 (plus other fees) to one of his co-stars from a 2013 romp after the footage mysteriously surfaced on World Star Hip Hop.

Broner had argued that he didn't intentionally leak the video (which was shot with the consent of his 2 partners) ... but he had lost the phone he shot it on and someone else posted it.

So, why didn't Broner have a password on his phone?

The boxer testified that he has 3 phones on him at all times -- a business phone, a family phone and a "ho phone" (his actual words).

Broner says he simply never bothered to password protect the ho phone -- so anyone could've had access to his x-rated library.

The jury bought Broner's story and found that he did not act intentionally ... just negligently ... and ordered him to fork over the $40k in lost wages and $135k for pain and suffering.

The plaintiff's attorney, Kevin Hansen, tells TMZ Sports, "I'm happy to see that the jury saw through the defendant’s games. They saw [my client] for who she is and Broner for who he is."

Yeah.

Broncos' Brandon Marshall Reveals Vile Racist Hate Mail ... Slurs & Violent Threats

Published | Updated

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall just revealed two hateful letters he received at work -- littered with n-bombs and threats of violence.

Marshall famously took a knee during the National Anthem to start the NFL season -- and it pissed off some people. We're guessing that (and obvious racism) inspired some people to write disgusting hate-filled letters to him.

Marshall is obviously taking the high road -- and posted the following comment:

"The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where we're at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the stances that we take."

THEY'RE GOING DOWNHILL

Bad news for LA Galaxy fans, it's all over for your soccer franchise ... that's according to departing superstar Robbie Keane who says the Galaxy are SCREWED now that he's leaving.

Keane's been an absolute badass for the squad since he came over in 2011 ... becoming the fastest MLS player to score 100 goals ... and winning 3 titles with the team.

But when we got him out at Delilah in L.A. he made it clear ... THE JOYFULNESS IS OVER ... saying the team can't possibly replace everything he's done.

We'd say he was joking ... but we kinda don't think he is.

IT'LL BE A BATTLE

Remember, John Elway has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know ... and he thinks the game will be good to RGIII on Sunday -- saying the Browns QB will "do well" in his first start back.

Elway -- who won two Super Bowls as a player and built a SB winning team as a GM in Denver -- was out in L.A. when we asked how he thought RG3 would fare in his first game action since September.

Griffin threw for just 190 yards and an interception in his last start against Philly ... but John says things will be different this time.

STOP SCOFFING. He's John Elway and YOU'RE NOT (he's probably wrong, though).

Who has the energy to fight in freezing cold temperatures?

Raiders and Chiefs fans.

That's who.

A bunch of rival fans started brawling in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Thursday night -- with people getting thrown down the bleachers ... it's gnarly.

Eventually cops responded and broke the whole thing up ... but not before some of the pugilists took some heavy shots to the face.

No word if any arrests were made. We're working on it.
