The Diamondbacks second baseman spoke with reporters on Sunday for the first time since his Arizona pad was ransacked by thieves ... and he explained it was "not good" to know he lost so much, but he relented there's not much he can do about it now.

"You just got to move on," he said through a translator.

Kylian Mbappé's known for his feet, but it was the soccer superstar's hands that caught fans' attention on Sunday night ... as he waved 'em in the air like he just didn't care at Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico show!!

The Real Madrid forward hit Benito's concert in San Juan -- and he was spotted on multiple occasions dancing his tail off while the "Tití Me Preguntó" crooner entertained the masses.

Mbappé was onstage for the gig -- and there was some famous company alongside him, as Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi hit up the show as well.

We caught up with Iron Mike this week ... and with all the chatter surrounding Dana White and President Donald Trump hoping to put on an Independence Day extravaganza at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next year, we had to ask if he's interested.

Short answer?? Hell. Yes.

Cristiano Ronaldo's had his fair share of exposure for his prowess on the pitch ... and he's received just as much attention for his life off the field!

The soccer -- ahem, football -- forward tends to end up in interesting situations after he takes off his jersey -- he's partied with Paris Hilton, fended off autograph hounds, and even had his sporting ability questioned by Tekashi 6ix9ine ... although his experiences with Michael Jordan and Mr. Beast proved to be much more chill.

Oh, and you can be sure that his business life ain't too shabby either -- being named the world's highest-paid athlete multiple times must be pretty nice!

Corey Adams -- a defensive lineman on the Ole Miss football team -- has been killed in a shooting ... according to reports.

ESPN -- citing the Shelby County Sheriff's Office -- reports Adams was killed in a shooting in Cordova, Tennessee, in the greater Memphis area.

Four other men were also shot ... though they were rushed to the hospital and are not in critical condition, ESPN reports. No one has been arrested in connection to the shooting at the time.

President Donald Trump is once again calling on the Washington Commanders to ditch their current name and return to their former moniker, the Redskins.

The former president took to Truth Social on Sunday, writing, "The Washington 'Whatevers' should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this."

Trump didn't stop there, also suggesting the Cleveland Guardians should return to their old name, the Indians, claiming, "Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen." Trump capped off the post by urging the teams' owners to "get it done."

When it came to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Bowen told us, "He's a star. He's always been a star. He continues to be a star."

Jon Jones is confident he'll be fighting at Donald Trump's White House UFC event whenever it goes down ... telling TMZ Sports on Thursday he's got "a very strong feeling" he'll be on the historic card.

Of course, the shindig doesn't have an official date or a time yet -- but Dana White said this week he's going to meet with Trump soon to hammer out the logistics ... and whenever it all gets set, Jones made it clear he wants in.

"That's the goal," the former heavyweight champ said out at LAX.

T.J. Watt's now the most expensive non-quarterback in the history of the NFL -- and James Harrison tells TMZ Sports the guy's worth every penny.

The Steelers legend said after Watt inked a new three-year, $123 million contract with Pittsburgh this week he had no problem with the big price tag -- explaining the star pass rusher is simply "the best defensive player in the league."

"All you got to do is look at his body of work," Harrison said. "It speaks for itself."

The heartbroken, longtime partner of Felix Baumgartner -- the Austrian BASE jumper and skydiver who died while paragliding in Italy this week -- has shared chilling footage of his final takeoff.

Mihaela Schwartzenberg shared the clip Friday night of Felix rising into the air ... noting in a touching tribute alongside the video that she had no idea he was beginning the final flight of his "extraordinary" life.

She went on to remember being there for nearly every one of Felix's takeoffs and landings -- from skydiving and paragliding to helicopter flights and beyond. And when she wasn't there, they had a "WLC code" -- standing for "the Wifey Landing Call." She added ... "Never missed one. Except …this one."

Dave Portnoy's not sorry to see Stephen Colbert's show ending ... pointing out this is just capitalism at work -- lose millions, find a new job!

The Barstool Sports founder took to X Saturday to fire off about CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" ... calling out Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders -- among others -- for claiming Paramount was politically motivated to give him the axe.

ICYMI ... Colbert went after his own network in his monologue early this week -- likening a $16 million lawsuit settlement over a "60 Minutes" interview President Donald Trump claimed was deceptively edited to a "big, fat bribe." A move Dave says is just pure "arrogance."

Boxers tend to be big draws on fight nights ... and they're even bigger draws when their fans see them in public!

We caught this world-champion pugilist back in 2007, when one of his supporters ran into him at a gas station, and he even got her to tell his girlfriend about what a knockout he is!

Kim Zolciak's day of suntanning might be ruined by the weather ... but she was already dressed in a bikini -- and, her fans still got to enjoy the view.

KZ's lookin' real good here, even though her afternoon plans were ruined by the rain -- 'cause she explained in the caption that she was heading out the door for a little sun when it started to pour.

Looks like the sports world is getting in on the viral Kiss Cam moment at the Coldplay concert this week ... 'cause several baseball teams recreated the stunning scene at their Friday night games!

Check out the hilarious video of the Philadelphia Phillies' mascots poking fun at the situation ... "Clocks" by Coldplay plays as the Kiss Cam locks in on the Phillie Phanatic cuddling up to a female Phanatic -- which looks just like him in a blonde wig.

When the Phanatic couple realizes they've been caught ... they quickly duck out of sight -- just like Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot did at Wednesday's Coldplay show in Boston. But they weren't the only ones to jump in on the trend.

Stephen A. Smith says the folks upset over his recent Jeffrey Epstein take are just like him -- they're allowed to have their own opinions. Only difference?? He makes millions for his.

TMZ Sports caught up with SAS in New York City this week following his appearance on Chris Cuomo's "NewsNation" show ... which resulted in some flak for saying he didn't care if the dead financier's rumored "client list" ever came to light -- nor should the public.

His take on the Epstein "list" -- which some folks believe included names of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked -- upset a lot of viewers ... and Smith gave us his response in three parts.

Bad news for those hoping Dustin Poirier has one more fight in him after this weekend ... he tells TMZ Sports he's REALLY hanging up the gloves for good Saturday night.

We chopped it up with the 36-year-old ahead of his retirement match against Max Holloway in his home state of Louisiana. Before we got to that, we had to ask him if next year's potential July 4th card at the White House had him rethinking things.

But Diamond made it clear ... even the thought of throwing hands at one of the most iconic landmarks in the country isn't changing his mind.
