Ex-UDub Star Ben Burr-Kirven Wants Huskies Out Of Pac-12, Play In Big Ten, Big 12

Former Univ. of Washington football star Ben Burr-Kirven appears to believe the Pac-12 is toast … and he tells TMZ Sports he’s hoping his alma mater bolts to the Big Ten or Big 12 before it officially collapses.
The ex-Huskie linebacker, who won Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year back in 2018, broke down his thoughts on conference realignment with us out at LAX this week … and he made it clear, he wouldn’t mind seeing UDub leave its current home after USC and UCLA jumped to the Big Ten earlier this year.
“I don’t know what they’re going to do,” Burr-Kirven said of the Pac-12. “It’s going to be interesting. I’d imagine — if I was betting — more and more teams are probably going to leave because it will be hard to get into big bowl games without competitive games to be playing in.”
“So, we will see what happens.”
Burr-Kirven isn’t sure what Washington’s next move will be, but he tells us if he were running the show in Seattle, he’d jump to the Big Ten or Big 12.
Love the Ben Burr-Kirven pick by the Seahawks. Shop local!

As for his current football status, the 24-year-old — who was in L.A. to have his injured knee checked out by specialists — was just waived by the Seahawks with a failed physical designation. He was not picked up on waivers, however, and has now reverted to the team’s injured reserve list while he recovers.

Home Depot Says Surveillance Footage Shows Tyrese Gibson Is Lying

Home Depot says Tyrese Gibson is lying about racism in his $1 million lawsuit against them … and they say there’s video evidence backing them up.
Home Depot just responded to Tyrese’s lawsuit … pushing back against his claims of racial discrimination on the part of their cashiers.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Home Depot claims Tyrese came into their store and brought a bunch of items to the cash register, where the cashier scanned everything. HD says Tyrese then went back for more shopping, leaving the register for 25 minutes and forcing the cashier to clear out his transaction.
It’s a different story from Tyrese’s original complaint, where he claims a computer glitch caused the delay. He also said that because of the alleged delay, people started recognizing him and, feeling uncomfortable, he went to the parking lot instead of staying around to oversee the transaction

BACKGRID
Tyrese claimed he told the cashier his two helpers would finish the purchase with his credit card and said she understood his instructions before he left the store … and said he was told he could go wait outside and she would finish the transaction.
Home Depot claims their surveillance shows Tyrese did NOT speak face-to-face with any of their cashiers.
Remember … Tyrese also claimed he got on FaceTime with a cashier from outside the store and authorized her to complete the transaction his partners were trying to make, but he claimed she wouldn’t let them pay for the items with his card until he came back into the store to show his ID.

But, according to Home Depot, the cashier simply asked Tyrese for ID and said FaceTime wasn’t good enough and that he had to physically come back into the store to show ID.
HD says surveillance footage shows Tyrese coming back into the store and getting into a heated discussion, which ends with him showing his ID and the cashier completing his transaction.

BACKGRID
Tyrese told us it was hard to sue Home Depot because he’s a longtime customer and the store is like his Disneyland … but Home Depot says they don’t know how long he’s shopped there and aren’t sure how much he’s spent over the years — Tyrese claims it’s close to $10 million over 2 decades.
We reached out to Tyrese’s legal team … so far no word back.

Taylor Swift and Ice Spice became fast friends ahead of their “Karma” collab … and it turns out TS is a big admirer of the “Munch” rapper’s budding career!!!
Ice graced the cover for the latest issue of Variety, which dropped Thursday, and it includes some commentary from Taylor, who gushed about the breakout star … “I relate to Ice in many ways. She’s extremely professional without being cold.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
TS continued, “She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”
A cosign from Taylor can be as beneficial as winning an award, and Ice has been racking up plenty of accolades this year — most notably getting 3 of her songs into the top 5 of Billboard’s Hot 100, one of them being her Swift duet. Taylor’s fans in NJ got a live taste of “Karma” during the Eras Tour.
Ice previously stated she was floored by Taylor casually waiting for her at the studio when they recorded “Karma” … but Taylor says Ice was on her j-o-b as well, arriving at the studio with her verse ready to go, and sending her vocals beforehand to ensure they were on the same page!!!
Ice says she officially feels like “that girl,” being able to text Taylor and Nicki Minaj on the whim. Hell, maybe she got the tea on Travis Kelce before the rest of us!!!

Infowars’ Alex Jones Choked Unconscious By Jiu-Jitsu Champ, Snores On Mic

Strange time for a nap … Alex Jones literally went to sleep while appearing as a guest on Craig Jones’ (no relation!) show on Thursday after the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champ sent the controversial host to La La Land with a super tight rear-naked choke! 😴
49-year-old Jones’ was appearing on Craig’s “El Segundo Podcast” when the IBJJF world champ got to live out the real-life fantasy of many of Alex’s opponents, literally putting the Infowars host to sleep square in his chair on set.
It’s unclear what led up to the submission (Alex was clearly down with it) … and given Craig’s one of the best in the world when it comes to strangling people (he coaches Alex Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya), it didn’t take him long.
Craig posted video of the incident … and had some fun with the caption, writing, “The CIA sent me but I couldn’t do my dad like that”
Again, no father-son relation here.
The clip starts with the choke already in deep. After about 8 seconds of pressure, Jones’ eyes rolled back, and he was out cold.
Almost 10 seconds later, Alex finally wakes up … but clearly had no idea what the hell just happened — common among people who have been choked out.
“What? What’d I just do?” Alex asked, looking around.
Presumably, Craig will drop more videos with Alex when the pod episode debuts.
Of course, if you’re a fight fan, you’ve undoubtedly seen a ton of them done during MMA fights. The choke, which restricts blood to the carotid artery, is one of the very first moves taught in Jiu-Jitsu.
