If the BYU crowd was extra loud Tuesday night, thank Conor McGregor for the raucous atmosphere ... The Notorious was in the house as the school's hoops team beat Baylor, and he had the student section FIRED UP!

Mystic Mac was courtside for the Cougars game vs. the Bears at the J. Willard Marriott Center ... and it sounds like McGregor had a blast!

"I've always wondered what the college game would be like, and I am very, very, very impressed," McGregor said.

New footage shows the first peak inside O.J. Simpson's Las Vegas home ... including his deathbed and the stash of personal items going up for auction.

TMZ obtained this video from inside O.J.'s Sin City residence -- filmed shortly after his April 2024 death -- and it shows the hospice bed where he took his last breaths.

The bed will NOT go up for sale, though, since it was taken back by the hospice services after O.J.'s death -- but almost everything else WILL soon go up for auction. Malcolm LaVergne -- the attorney serving as the special administrator of O.J.'s estate -- will attempt to liquidate The Juice's assets to pay back Simpson's creditors.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. is insisting he didn't shade the hell outta Bills fans after his son's team squashed Buffalo's Super Bowl chances yet again on Sunday ... claiming the social media post in question wasn't his doing.

Mahomes Sr. ruffled some feathers after his X account took shots at Bills backers this week ... when a post that said, "Today is a great day to not be from Buffalo," was published.

Naturally, people from upstate New York were pissed ... but a follow-up on Mahomes Sr.'s Instagram page attempted to clear the air.

Taylor Swift is a 92%er ... 'cause Travis Kelce says his pop superstar girlfriend tunes into his podcast every week -- and she actually likes it!!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made the reveal on Wednesday's "New Heights" episode alongside his brother, Jason ... when he said Tay is a big supporter of his time on the mic.

"She listens every week," Travis said ... after an intern on the show stated Swift gave him a glowing review of their product when they crossed paths.

A Philadelphia Eagles fan tragically passed away after falling from a light pole during the NFC Championship Game celebration on Sunday. He was just 18 years old.

Temple University mourned the loss of student athlete Tyler Sabapathy on Tuesday ... saying he was a "promising" young man.

"There are no words that can make sense of it," president John Fry wrote, "and the entire Temple community mourns his passing. Our hearts go out to Tyler's family, friends, classmates and all who knew and loved him."

Odell Beckham Jr. has the internet in a frenzy -- and it's got nothing to do with football -- the star WR stripped down to near nothing for a new makeup ad, and he looks incredible!

The 3x Pro Bowler dropped the steamy photo on social media Tuesday night, nary a piece of fabric in sight, for the MAC cosmetics advertisement.

Fittingly, Odell, sporting red lipstick kiss marks on his torso, is promoting their "Nudes" collection ... which makes a lot of sense.

A wild melee broke out toward the end of the VCU vs. Saint Louis men's basketball game on Tuesday ... with full-grown men toppling on top of each other, flooding over several rows of seats and into the aisle -- forcing the contest to be delayed for several minutes.

The violence went down with 1:10 left in the Billikens' 78-69 win over the Rams ... when out of nowhere, the cameras cut to a guy throwing his body weight onto another spectator and forcing them to the ground.

Several others -- as well as police and security -- tried to get involved to break it up ... but it only got more chaotic from there.

Super Bowl LIX is still over a week away, but Michael Blackson's already bringing the trash talk to Travis Kelce's doorstep -- trolling him over his facial hair and his famous relationship!!

The diehard Eagles supporter unleashed the needling during a sitdown with TMZ Sports this week -- just hours after Philadelphia punched its ticket to the Big Game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

Blackson made fun of Kelce's propensity to play with his beard trimmer ... before insisting, "I don't even know his name!"

Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan are saying goodbye to their California mansion ... putting their home on the market for $3 million!!!

The 5,691-square-foot pad sits on half an acre in a guarded, gated community in Chatsworth, about 30 miles northwest of Crypto.com Arena, where Fisher once played for the Lakers.

The Mediterranean-style home was built in 2021 and features five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, high ceilings, an extra large kitchen with an oversized island, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace for those chill California nights.

The high school basketball player who dropped 102 points in a game isn't too bothered with people questioning the team's sportsmanship after the record-breaking performance ... telling TMZ Sports if others had the opportunity, they would have done the same thing!!

We caught up with Mesrobian High School seniors Nick and Dylan Khatchikian after their wild outing last week ... in which Nick ran the score up while Dylan lobbed up 35 assists in their 119-25 victory over Waverly High School.

While tons of people couldn't believe the stat line -- including LeBron James -- others questioned if it was disrespectful. Nick shared his side of things ... and he feels the final score could have been even more lopsided.

Pack up those tin foil hats ... former NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino tells TMZ Sports the league is absolutely not conspiring to help get the Chiefs into Super Bowls.

The 53-year-old -- who now works as FOX Sports' NFL and college football rules analyst -- said even though Kansas City may seem to be getting the benefit of a lot of close calls in big games ... he's sure there's no directive from Roger Goodell to have refs favor the Chiefs.

Blandino said if anyone would know about such a plan -- it'd be him ... seeing as he oversaw the NFL's officials from 2013 to 2017.

WWE's "Monday Night Raw" didn't just bring the high-flying action to Atlanta ... it also attracted some of the biggest names in the rap game!!

The final Raw before the Royal Rumble was a who's who of hip hop ... including Lil Yachty -- who trolled Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston by wearing a shirt that read "The New Day Sucks."

Quavo decided front-row seats weren't enough ... so he made his way through the crowd with WWE Superstar Jey Uso, a moment that blew the roof off State Farm Arena.

The L.A. FireAid concert is getting massive contributions from the biggest names in the music industry ... but now the event is getting a financial boost from Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who will match every donation during the event livestream!!

Event organizers made the announcement Tuesday morning ... saying the former Microsoft CEO -- who has a net worth of $129.4 billion -- and his wife, Connie, will help double the impact of the benefit.

This contribution is on top of the $15 million donation the couple pledged a few weeks ago to assist those impacted by the L.A. wildfires.

Is a Paul Brawl between Jake and Logan finally happening??

The internet superstar-turned-fighters sent social media into a frenzy after sharing a boxing match-style poster of themselves facing off on Tuesday ... teasing an event a "decade in the making" will be streaming on Max come March 27.

That was all the information provided ... leading many to speculate whether the two were going to meet in the boxing ring after years of anticipation.

A 57-year-old man watching his son compete at a track meet was tragically killed when he was struck with a hammer during an event.

The terrible accident happened at the University of Colorado At Colorado Springs (UCCS) campus on Sunday morning, where high school track and field athletes from across the state were competing.

During the hammer throw event, competitors throw a weighted ball (usually weighing 12 lbs. for boys in H.S.) attached to a grip with wire, as far as possible.
