He reasons ... "We have to be very careful that we don't get any closer to the cliff because when you fall down the cliff, down there, there's no democracy."

9:34 AM PT -- The NFL just addressed all the hubbub surrounding Brady's booth visit ... saying the seven-time Super Bowl winner violated zero rules by hanging with the coaches and wearing a headset during the game.

Tom Brady proved he's super hands-on in his role with the Las Vegas Raiders -- the GOAT was spotted soaking in "Monday Night Football" from the coaches' booth ... headset and all.

The Raiders' minority owner was shown on the ESPN broadcast during the first quarter of the Silver and Black's primetime matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 ... and while he didn't look too talkative, he did seem laser-focused on what was going on down on the field.

Brady's had to juggle his post-playing jobs -- during his first year as a Fox on-air talent, the NFL banned him from pre-production meetings, visiting team facilities or attending practices ... but the rules were amended prior to the 2025-26 season to allow him to chat with coaches and players virtually or off-site.

Another win for Khalil Mack against his former team cost him quite a bit ... as the Chargers superstar sustained a gnarly arm injury in the big "Monday Night Football" victory over the Raiders.

Travis Kelce's pregame warmup shirt paying homage to the suspended Rashee Rice has drawn the ire of many ... including an attorney who's representing one of the people injured in the receiver's infamous 2024 crash.

The attorney also took aim at Kelce's teammate, Tyquan Thornton, who sported the shirt just prior to Kansas City's game against the Eagles on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium as well.

Terence Crawford beat Canelo Alvarez Saturday night in Las Vegas -- and while it was absolutely the biggest fight of his career -- was it the most difficult?!

"I wouldn't say it was the hardest fight of my career, but it was definitely the biggest fight of my career," Bud told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs nightly on FS1) on Monday afternoon.

Crawford won the fight relatively comfortably on the scorecards (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) ... in front of 70,482 fans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home of the Raiders, and tens of millions of fans on Netflix.

Hulk Hogan was among the celebrities inexplicably left out of the Emmys "In Memoriam" broadcast segment Sunday night ... and his ex-wife suspects it wasn't a simple error.

Linda Hogan tells TMZ … she believes Hulk’s snub was political, due to his right-wing embrace and support later in life -- including speaking at the RNC for President Trump last year -- despite the fact the wrestling superstar supported both sides of the aisle.

Hulk was among a few notable names not honored on the CBS show ... others included horror icon Tony Todd and "Sopranos" star Jerry Adler. An Emmys rep pointed out all of them, including Hulk, are included in a longer online version of the segment ... but it's just a scroll of names with zero production value, unlike the broadcast segment.
