Pete Carroll’s not dropping his side hustle -- despite landing the Raiders' head coaching job, the USC legend will continue to teach a course at the school, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Carroll took on a role as a co-instructor this past school year ... after ending his 13-year run as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

He teamed up with USC Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life Varun Soni and Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship David Belasco for a class called "The Game Is Life," which focuses on personal development post-grad for senior students.

Philadelphia Eagles fans hardly behaved in the aftermath of the team's big NFC Championship Game victory ... police say they had to make multiple arrests and issue several citations amid the parties that followed the Birds' win over the Commanders.

The Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement on Monday two men -- Jose Moya and Eugene Dennis -- were thrown behind bars over allegations they assaulted police officers who were working NFCCG detail. The Dept. added another man -- Tramayne Davis-Blockson -- was placed into custody for allegedly stabbing someone in the leg following a verbal altercation.

Classy gesture from Ravens fans ... they're now helping raise funds for a charity close to Dalton Kincaid's heart following his tough Sunday -- just a week after Bills Mafia did similar for Mark Andrews after his rough outing.

Baltimore backers started the GoFundMe just minutes after Kincaid dropped a key pass in the Bills' 32-29 loss to Kansas City that could've helped send Buffalo to the Super Bowl.

Ravens Flock wrote in a summary on the fundraiser they appreciated the way Bills fans supported Andrews with a GoFundMe after he dropped a ball that might've lifted Baltimore to the AFCCG ... and they wanted to "return the favor."

Taylor Swift celebrated the Kansas City Chief's big victory over the Buffalo Bills by smothering boyfriend Travis Kelce -- with kisses, that is!

The pop superstar dashed onto the field Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City after the Chiefs beat the Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship game — and she promptly grabbed Travis for a smooch session.

Taylor plants a huge kiss on the lips of the Chiefs' star tight end while holding his head with both hands.

Not everyone was pulling for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday ... President Donald Trump fired off a congratulatory message to the Kansas City Chiefs after advancing to the Super Bowl for a third straight season!

47 took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to show love to the defending world champs after their 32-29 nail-biter against the Bills.

"What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers," Trump wrote.

Of course, Brittany Mahomes publicly supported 45/47 during the election ... and it's clear DJT didn't forget.

Brittany Mahomes took time from celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' return to the Super Bowl to scold the Buffalo fan base ... making it crystal clear she hasn't forgotten about the time Bills Mafia hung a Kermit the Frog puppet dressed as her husband from a pole at a tailgate earlier this season.

"Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting," Patrick's longtime partner said Sunday night. "So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people."

The incident happened back in November ... when Buffalo hosted the AFC champs at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park for a big regular season matchup.

9:38 AM PT -- The Philadelphia Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports ... detectives are investigating this incident.

A celebration of the Philadelphia Eagles' NFC championship took a bit of a scary turn on Sunday night ... when a fan in a packed crowd appeared to pull out a gun and fire it into the air.

Footage of the wild scene was posted to social media just a few hours after Philly took down the Washington Commanders, 55-23, at Lincoln Financial Field.

In the clip, you can see a man in a knit Eagles hat seems to unholster a firearm before squeezing off three shots.

O.J. Simpson's estate is doing legal battle with one of his children ... suing his son for allegedly moving into O.J.'s home and refusing to leave.

Malcolm LaVergne -- the attorney serving as the special administrator of O.J.'s estate -- filed a suit against Primary Holdings, LLC ... a company he says is owned and operated by Justin Simpson, O.J. and Nicole Brown Simpson's son.

LaVergne says Primary Holdings purchased the house -- while O.J. was living there -- back in Aug. 2022, in order to shield the property against Simpson's creditor claims.

Antonio Cromartie's son will follow in his father's footsteps and play defensive back at Florida State ... and Dad tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be happier about it!!

Cromartie Sr. -- who played for FSU in 2003 and 2004 -- said the offer from Florida State came from the Noles' coaching staff on Christmas ... and he said it was "better than any gift I could give" his son.

The Kansas City Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl after beating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game ... meaning Taylor Swift's glad-- and Hailee Steinfeld's sad.

The two teams heading to New Orleans are set after Championship Sunday -- the Philadelphia Eagles handled the Washington Commanders in the NFC title game earlier in the day with a 55-23 victory ... meaning it'll be a rematch of Super Bowl LVII from two years ago, which the Chiefs won.

Swift was present for Travis Kelce and Co.'s huge game at Arrowhead Stadium ... and for those who believe in "Tayvoodoo," it struck again as the home team held off Steinfeld's fiancé, Josh Allen, and the relentless Bills in a thrilling 32-29 result.

Taylor Swift's one step away from another Super Bowl appearance ... 'cause if Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs win today, they're headed for the big game -- and, Swift's clearly bringing the team spirit to the affair.

The pop star arrived at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City just minutes ago ... pulling up in a black and gold hoodie and long, bright red leggings.

Walking in with Taylor is her mom, Andrea Swift ... who wrapped an arm around her elbow, big grins plastered on both their faces.

Bradley Cooper's going to be all nerves when his Philadelphia Eagles kickoff their game Sunday ... but, he was able to enjoy a relaxing pregame moment on the field before the match -- chatting up his former costar Terry Bradshaw.

The actor stopped by the set of "Fox NFL Sunday" -- the broadcast network's popular pregame show -- and, dapped up the former Pittsburgh Steelers star while live on-air.

According to a later investigation ... the pilot of the craft was at fault for the crash -- with investigators saying he flew into the clouds, became disoriented and ultimately crashed.

Kyrie Irving's serving up hard life lessons to young hoops fans, including the golden rule: With great seats, comes great responsibility ... to duck when loose balls come flying at your head!!!

Kyrie's Dallas Mavericks were playing the Boston Celtics Saturday night, when he uncorked a wild cross-court pass that missed his teammates ... but nailed a kid who was sitting courtside.

The poor young fan wasn't looking when the basketball blew up his world, leaving the kid dazed and confused for a few moments. Mavericks staff quickly tended to the fan, whose nose seemed to be bleeding.

Chicago Cubs owner Thomas Ricketts is used to getting an earful from fans about his baseball team ... but now he's even drawing the ire of LITTLE KIDS -- 'cause a six-year-old child called him cheap straight to his face!

TMZ Sports obtained the hilarious clip shot last weekend at the team's annual fan summit called "Cubs Convention." In the clip, Ricketts, owner and team chairman, was making the rounds signing autographs and chatting it up with supporters ... when he encountered the disgruntled young boy.

We're told the plan was for the kid to ask Ricketts to sign a bat inscribed with "The cheapest owner in Baseball" ... though TR obviously didn't play along.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs just know how to win ... and that’s why Warren Moon is giving the quarterback a "slight edge" over the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, even with Josh Allen playing lights out this season.

The legendary quarterback shared his prediction for the Bills vs. Chiefs AFC Championship game with TMZ Sports, saying Mahomes’ playoff experience and home-field advantage at Arrowhead gives the QB the upper hand.

"I mean this is a guy who has been to seven straight AFC championship games," Moon said.
