Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson is carrying more than team pride onto the field this season ... he'll be honoring the memory of his late friend, Kyren Lacy, with custom cleats in a heartfelt tribute to the former LSU star.

TMZ Sports has learned that Robertson reached out to popular cleat artist Joe Castro just a few weeks before Lions season opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

We're told Robertson -- who signed with Detroit in 2024 -- looked at Lacy as a little brother, both growing up together in Thibodaux, Louisiana.

Travis Kelce may have been struck by Cupid's arrow ... but he took a different type of hit at his Kansas City Chiefs game last night when he was slapped by his opponent!

The wild attack came during the game's 3rd quarter after TK collided with and shoved TT during a block, which clearly PO'd Teair. While the slap wasn't a disqualifiable offense, the referee threw the yellow flag and Teair got a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty.

Bryson DeChambeau thought the hardest part of his Bentley contest would be knocking down the nearly impossible golf shot ... but giving away the super expensive luxury car also proved challenging thanks to HUGE fan interest!

Former UNC star Eric Ebron is admitting his alma mater got its "ass kicked" on Monday night ... but he tells TMZ Sports he's still nowhere near pressing the panic button on the Bill Belichick era.

The ex-Tar Heels tight end sat down with us just a few days after North Carolina got whipped, 48-14, by TCU ... and while he said it was no doubt a disappointing start, he's staying patient with his old school's new sideline manager.

Bill Maher says cops should be royally pissed off at Donald Trump for essentially telling them they do a crappy job, so they have to send in reinforcements.

The 'Real Time' host was on fire Friday night, calling out all the cops who largely support 47, telling them to open their eyes and see what Trump is really doing.

Bill says law enforcement -- 750,000 strong in the U.S. -- has been doing its job for years, and yes, there's a crime problem everywhere, but calling in the National Guard is in many ways disrespectful to police because Trump is kinda calling them incompetent.

The memory of former LSU star Kyren Lacy lives on despite his tragic death in April ... as friends like Giants star Malik Nabers and Tigers receiver Trey'Dez Green continue to honor him with tributes -- each one bringing his mother to tears.

TMZ Sports spoke with Lacy's mom, Kandace, after Green paid homage to her son, and his late teammate and buddy ... throwing up No. 2 (Kyren's jersey number) during his TD celebration against Clemson on August 30 -- the first game of the LSU season.

Kandace said she was overcome with emotion while watching the heartfelt tribute ... and couldn’t hold back her tears.

TMZ has confirmed the superstar will be notably absent tonight when her fiancé's team takes on the Los Angeles Chargers at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo.

Sources tell TMZ ... it's not a shocker Taylor skipped the international game ... since none of the WAGs made the trip. It's just a 2-day jaunt leaving no time for the fams to intermingle. Plus, it's safe to assume security for Taylor played a role in the decision-making.
