Martellus Bennett, Devin McCourty, LeGarrette Blount and the rest of the Patriots boycotting their White House visit over Donald Trump are making a silly mistake ... so says Tony Gonzalez.

With at least 6 members of the Super Bowl squad saying they refuse to meet President Trump -- we asked the future Hall of Famer what he would do in the same situation.

"If they don't wanna go, that's their right," Tony said ... "For me, I think that's silly."

"If you've got a problem, go there and meet him! Say something! That's your opportunity to get your voice out there, to get heard."

Odell Beckham got to live out one of his life goals this weekend -- he was a FEATURED DANCER at a huge concert.

The NY Giants star was at the Young Thug/Drake show in England over the weekend -- when Thug invited him up onstage to be a featured dancer during for one of his songs.

Odell jumped all over the opportunity and danced his face off.

After the show, Odell kicked it with soccer superstar Paul Pogba and continued to dance.

Maybe it's just cardio training?

Magic Johnson is putting his money where his mouth is ... telling TMZ Sports he will NO LONGER stay at Trump Hotels.

The NBA legend has been a regular at Trump Hotels for years -- especially in New York. But, when we saw him out earlier Monday, he was at ANOTHER high-end NYC spot.

When we asked if he was done with Trump Hotels -- he confirmed he's making the switch.

Johnson not only voted for Hillary Clinton but has come out STRONG against Trump ever since he was elected. Just last month, he said Trump needs to stop "acting like a dictator."

Oh, and good news for Charles Oakley -- Magic says he's definitely welcome at the Lakers games, despite the fact he's been banned from MSG.

Only one question comes to mind when looking at Hannah Davis' new bikini shots ... what took Derek Jeter so long to knock her up?!?!?!

The good folks at Sports Illustrated just released a sneak preview of Hannah's new spread in the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition ... and they're good.

By the way, the pics were taken just weeks after she learned she was pregnant!!!!

Hall of Famer.

Derek Jeter's gonna be a dad!!

The Yankees legend's wife, Hannah Jeter, just made the announcement on Derek's website, The Players' Tribune ... saying she's pregnant with a little girl!!

It's the couple's first child. Hannah says Derek has a name picked out but she won't reveal it.

Derek and Hannah were married in July. He's 42. She's 26.

Derek retired from the Yankees back in 2014. Glad he's keeping himself busy!

Congrats!

There's at least one person who thinks Johnny Manziel has a legit shot at an NFL comeback -- Hall of Famer Warren Moon.

"I think Johnny has proven he can play in the National Football League," Moon says ... and if he can stay clean, there's a REAL chance he could be one of the great comeback stories in pro sports.

Here's Rams QB Jared Goff giving back to the community, helping some NFL hopefuls (who will probably be millionaires one day) get ready for the NFL combine.

Goff headed to Oaks Christian School -- a high school in the L.A. area -- and tossed the pigskin around with some aspiring pros earlier this month including Florida State's Jesus "Bobo" Wilson and Quincy Adeboyejo from Ole Miss.

The guys were training as part of a program from Sports Academy L.A. and we're told when Goff heard about it, he decided to chip in and give them specific notes on the NFL combine process.

Also getting some #1 pick tutelage was Matt Corral ... a high school junior who's nationally ranked as one of the top 5 QB's in the 2018 class.

Attention thirsty ladies, if you're looking for lovin' from NFL stud Travis Kelce ... you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way ... 'cause Kelce says his reality TV dating career is OVER for good.

We got Kelce out in Beverly Hills and wanted to know two things from the stud pass catcher ... did he actually find love on the first season of "Catching Kelce," and if not, will he try again another season?

Travis says that's gonna be a negative on both ... telling our guy he doesn't think the whole "reality TV thing" is for him.

Mariah Carey isn't bowling anyone over at the GRAMMYs this year -- since she's not up for anything -- and doing about the same in a 60 foot lane.

Mariah tried bowling in her heels Saturday night at her place in Bev Hills during a private pre-GRAMMYs party, alongside her kids and BF Bryan Tanaka. She clearly needed some of those neon shoes from the looks of these rolls, though.

Donald Trump bonded with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the links.

The Prez and P.M. played a round of golf in Jupiter, Florida, near Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, aka The Winter White House.

Syracuse basketball standout Fab Melo has died unexpectedly in Brazil.

According to reports out of the country, 26-year-old Melo died Saturday in his sleep ... an official cause is not yet known. Melo recently began a career playing professionally in Brazil, where he was from.

Melo played two seasons for The Orange and was named the Big East Defensive Player of The Year after his sophomore season. He was drafted by The Boston Celtics 22nd overall in the 2012 NBA draft but struggled as a pro.

Legendary Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim is adamant he's NOT cheating on his wife -- and quite frankly, his family is sick of the rumors.

If you were impressed with Lonzo Ball's little brother, LaMelo, notching 92 points in a high school game this week get used to it, 'cause the Ball brothers' dad says it'll probably happen again next year.

TMZ Sports talked to LaVar Ball and he told us the astounding 92 points 'Melo scored Tuesday night was a hint of what the 15-year-old will do next year when he doesn't have to share the team with his brother, LiAngelo.

"That's a preview of what he's gonna do ... on the fact that Melo is my only son that won't have to share the spotlight."

When we we asked if it was possible the kid could average 40 or maybe even 50 points a game next year, Ball's answer was simple ... "Easily."

BTW -- LaMelo pops into the video at the end ... and even though he's a basketball wizard, it's obvious he's something else, just a humble 10th grade kid who lets his dad do the talking for him.

And pops is really good at his job in this video ... especially when he gave it to the haters who've been criticizing the way 'Melo got his 92.

Nick Young has been ordered to pay his ex-manager more than $700,000 after doing the exact WRONG THING one should do when being sued.

Long story short ... the NBA star was sued by Andre Chevalier who claims Nick failed to pay him his 2% commission for his role in securing his fat NBA salary and lucrative endorsement deals.

Nick was served with the papers but never responded, and failed to appear in court to fight the case.

So the judge -- sick of waiting around -- entered a default judgment in favor of Andre in the amount of $722,558.

Good for that guy, right?

Of course, Nick can still try to fight the case -- but it's definitely an uphill battle.

Look out ladies, ex-NBA star/accused jewelry thief Steve Francis is officially a single man ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 39-year-old had been locked in a messy divorce with the mother of his 2 kids for years -- but now we've learned the 11 year union is finally over ... but there are some strict rules regarding the kids.

Francis will get partial custody -- mostly on the weekends -- but he's on very thin ice when it comes to substance abuse.

The judge says he is "permanently" prohibited from using drugs or alcohol within 12 hours before or during his time with the kids. If he violates the deal, the judge could take away custody.

Late Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez's girlfriend will give birth any day now ... and Jose's estate believes a lawsuit filed against the pitcher's estate Friday is intended to mess with his family.

As TMZ reported -- Jose and two friends were killed in a boating accident in September -- an autopsy later revealed the pitcher had alcohol and cocaine in his system at the time of the crash.

On Friday, the family of one of Jose's friends killed in the accident filed a negligence and personal injury lawsuit against his estate ... reports say the other victim will file Monday.

A source close to Jose's camp tells us Jose's pregnant girlfriend is due any day and the families filing the lawsuits are well aware of that. Our source says they believe the suits were just filed now to play hardball with Jose's family during an already difficult time.

As for the crash ... the investigation is still ongoing, and it has not yet been determined who was driving the boat when it hit a jetty.
