Canadians are pissed at Americans over President Trump imposing tariffs on our ally to the north — and nowhere is this more evident than in the hockey rink.

Three fights broke out in a manner of 9 seconds during Saturday’s USA-Canada 4 Nations Face Off game in Montreal — and the Canadian crowd also booed during the "Star-Spangled Banner" just prior to the brawls.

Check out these videos that capture the fists flying between the U.S. and Canadian hockey players. Both sides are clearly not seeing eye to eye and taking out their aggression on one another.

Gamblers looking to make a quick buck on this year's NFL Draft better listen up ... Adam "Pacman" Jones tells TMZ Sports he's absolutely sure Travis Hunter will be the top pick!!

The former Tennessee Titans star promised us out at Super Bowl week in New Orleans that his old team will not take a quarterback with the No. 1 overall selection ... and will instead snatch up the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner.

"He will be the No. 1 pick," Jones said of the Colorado Buffaloes' wide receiver/defensive back.

John Cena is in the final year of his in-ring career ... and once wrestling fans can't "see him" anymore, Booker T tells TMZ Sports he will be remembered as someone who took what he was given and turned it into an all-time career.

We caught up with the WWE Hall of Famer amid Cena's last dance ... and asked once the jorts are hung up for good, what lasting impact the legend will have on the sport.

He said that despite not being the best wrestler in the world, Cena "took what he had and made the best out of it, and took it all the way to the top."

Nate Burleson knows a thing or two about making the jump from the gridiron to the screen ... and he tells TMZ Sports he's got eyes on three players that he believes would be great TV -- including Joe Burrow!!

We caught up with the CBS analyst and host of "Hollywood Squares" in NOLA over Super Bowl weekend ... when we asked which current jocks he thinks could make the same transition he did in retirement.

NOLA legend Cam Jordan made the list ... with Burleson saying he is an "amazing talent." Alongside Burrow, he even mentioned his former LSU teammate and current Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Brooks Nader's newest photoshoot is probably more appropriate for Playboy than Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue ... 'cause she ditched the bikini for an au naturale look on vacay.

The model ran off to Los Cabos, Mexico for a little Valentine's vacation ... and, she decided to really let loose -- throwing off her top and letting it all hang out.

Check out the pics ... Brooks starts with a bright orange top on while her topless gal pal photographs her -- but, she quickly decides to get as naked as her proverbial dancing partner and frees the nipple for the whole beach to see.

Natalia Bryant's not a little kid anymore ... she's a woman who might have a new beau -- 'cause she was spotted with a guy on Valentine's Day.

The daughter of Kobe Bryant -- who turned 22 just last month -- hit the Los Angeles streets for a fun Friday night with a good-looking dude ... leaving e. baldi --a popular Italian joint in Beverly Hills not to be confused with Rihanna's favorite eatery, Giorgio Baldi.

The two were photographed outside the restaurant ... talking and laughing -- with some light PDA happening too. Natalia's got her hand on her maybe friend, maybe something more's chest in at least one pic.

Camille Kostek is welcoming Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit fam with open arms ... and she tells TMZ Sports she already has an eye on which social media superstar should be next!!

We spoke with the cover model at the Sports Illustrated party during Super Bowl week in New Orleans ... a few weeks after LaPaglia appeared on the January 2025 digital cover for the publication.

Safe to say Kostek's a big fan of the move ... 'cause she only had great things to say.

Tristan Thompson's bouncing back from his recent on-court scuffle with the Toronto Raptors ... announcing he's looking to the future off the hardwood -- with a new role in a massive artificial intelligence endeavor.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star was named the Chief Content Officer and Lead Advisor for TracyAI -- a new project involving Virtuals Protocol, a leader in the A.I. space.

TracyAI -- announced in San Francisco during this weekend's NBA All-Star Game festivities -- will provide new real-time analysis for sports broadcasts ... enhancing the way fans of the sport get to see and understand the game.

Brandon Aiyuk's a speed demon on the gridiron ... but, he had to go very slow earlier this week -- 'cause a cop pulled him over in a new car thinking he may have stolen it.

Here's the deal ... Aiyuk recently purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk -- an SUV valued at around $90K. He drove it straight off the truck, and he says within two miles a cop pulled him over.

Aiyuk filmed his chat with the cop ... who mentions the wide receiver was cited for driving unregistered Dodge Chargers in California -- cars the officer says are routinely a target for thieves.

Bill Maher has interesting guest fellows -- case in point, Kid Rock, who called out Jay-Z and the NFL for a Halftime show for being pretty much exclusionary -- of white entertainers.

Kid came out of the gate saying Kendrick Lamar wasn't his cup of tea, but he has mad respect for him because he's unapologetic about his craft. Kendrick doesn't care if a swath of the country isn't into him or even doesn't like him ... he does what he does, just like K.R. Kid Rock celebrated Kendrick, saying he doesn't give a "frog's fat ass" what people think.

But, then things turned ... Kid Rock said were it not for Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, Kendrick would never have ended up center stage at the Super Bowl.

Mauricio Umansky suffered a major injury on the slopes, saying he broke his clavicle bone while skiing in Colorado, but he's now on the mend.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum announced the news Friday on Instagram with a series of photos showing him in a hospital bed, along with x-rays of his upper chest, where the clavicle bone is located.

Mauricio wrote that he feels blessed for the way paramedics, hospital workers and others have taken care of him after his accident. He also revealed he needs surgery, while explaining that if you "play hard sometimes you get hurt."

The Mavericks fan who got tossed from a game this week for a heated exchange with Mark Cuban tells TMZ Sports he feels like his rights were violated ... and he's now considering taking legal action.

The clash with Cubes went down on Monday night at American Airlines Center in Dallas ... after Chris Taylor decided to try to start an anti-Nico Harrison chant during the Mavs vs. Kings tilt.

As Taylor -- who was upset over the way the Dallas GM traded away Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this month -- began riling up a crowd around him ... Cuban got up from his courtside seat and told him to stop.

"Last Chance U" star Isaiah Wright says he's been living in hell thanks to the way he was portrayed in the hit Netflix show ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to defend his name after filing a lawsuit against the people behind the series.

We broke the story -- Wright and other notable former East Mississippi CC players filed docs this week ... claiming they were pressured to participate in the show, just to have their images ruined with clever editing.

Wright -- a standout running back on the first two seasons of the show -- and his attorney, Andrew Green, pointed at several instances that didn't depict the real Isaiah ... but one major scene damaged his character far beyond his football career.

Bad news for NFL fans hoping this was the last Eagles championship for a while ... LeSean McCoy tells TMZ Sports it's very possible Philadelphia goes on a dynastic run from here.

The former Birds tailback said out at LAX just a few days after Philly pounded Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX that he could see at least one more championship on the horizon for his old team.

He praised the squad's O-line and defense ... and called Saquon Barkley "amazing." He added that A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts' other weapons are great too.

King Charles picked up a pigskin and tossed it around for the first time (football's hella popular in the UK, but not that football) ... so, how's His Majesty's arm?!

TMZ Sports talked to Washington Commanders' DE Efe Obada -- who spent time with the monarch on the field at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this week -- and even found time to show the King how to throw a football.

"Honestly, I think he's got really good form," Obada told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs weeknights on FS1).

The Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl celebration took a tragic turn Friday ... cops say two people were injured by gunfire while enjoying the parade.

The Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement to TMZ Sports a 27-year-old woman and a 20-year-old woman were both shot in the lower body at around 2:35 PM -- just a few blocks from where Eagles players addressed the thousands that had gathered to soak in the team's Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs.

Cops tell us both victims were transported to a nearby hospital ... where, thankfully, they're now in stable condition.
