    UPDATE: 11:32 AM PT -- We spoke to Isabelle Tate's agent, who tells us Tate passed away peacefully in her sleep.

    We're told Isabelle suffered from Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a rare progressive neuromuscular disease which confined her to a wheelchair. Her agent says the disease affects the legs but can also affect internal organs such as the lungs and heart. Because of the disease, Tate had basically given up on her dream of acting ... until she got the 9-1-1 role -- her first big booking which was just perfect for her.

    Tate's funeral will take place Friday.

    ---------------

    Tragedy has rocked the "9-1-1: Nashville" ... one of the show's young actresses, Isabelle Tate, died shortly after filming an episode.

    According to her obituary, the rising star died Sunday at age 23. Her agency, McCray Agency, confirmed the heartbreaking news ... though her cause of death has not been disclosed.

    Isabelle played Julie in the pilot of ABC’s newest "9-1-1" spinoff, starring LeAnn Rimes, Chris O’Donnell, and more. Before breaking into acting, she graduated from Middle Tennessee State University.

    Friends and family are remembering her online as "full of fire," "a fighter," and "the most caring, loving person."

    She was 23.

    RIP

    NEW YORK -- The NFL is moving its Pro Bowl festivities to Super Bowl week beginning this February, the latest adjustment for the all-star event that became a flag football game a few years ago.

    Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the change Wednesday at the league's annual fall owners meeting.

    "We've spent a lot of time evolving our Pro Bowl, talking about how to make our Pro Bowl more attractive, both for our players participating but also our fans," Goodell said. "We spent a great deal of time talking about the objectives, and the objectives really are to celebrate and honor our incredible players, and second is to use our game as a global platform."

    The plan is to hold the Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday night, Feb. 3, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, the venue that is hosting the Super Bowl experience fan fest. The largest ballroom holds 4,000 people, making it a more intimate event than in previous years, with a focus on television.

    It remains a flag football game between the AFC and NFC, though executive VP of international events Peter O'Reilly did acknowledge the format could become more internationally focused in the leadup to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

    "Flag has become a global game," Goodell said. "Our players have embraced playing that in the all-star format, and we think it's really important to continue that initiative."

    NFL owners unanimously approved players participating in the '28 Games, though work is still being done to finalize the agreement with the union.

    The 49ers are hosting the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8, in Santa Clara, California. It returns to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood outside LA in 2027 and is set to take place at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2028.

    Beginning in '26, there will be two new coaches, replacing Peyton and Eli Manning, though O'Reilly said the brothers would remain involved in the event in some capacity. The league is not committing to Tuesday night beyond next year, according to O'Reilly, who said it's a process of continuing to learn about what's best for the Pro Bowl.

    Goodell said the league met with 15-20 players for an hour over the summer to get their thoughts on the event that was branded as the Pro Bowl in 1951 and was played in LA before becoming a staple in Honolulu annually until 2012 and moving around since.

    I thought about this but didn't do, both great and different.  Evil Dead, when I saw it as a kid, truly scared me, lots of great gore, just watched it today, but Evil Dead 2 is hilarious.

    Yeah I was debating as well...  I love gory movies and the first one was great, but I think Bruce Campbell and his comedy just made the second one better...

    Doug Martin -- a former running back who last played in the NFL in 2018 -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

    A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ Martin passed away Saturday morning ... though they did not share any further details.

    Martin was a standout RB at Boise State for four years before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted him in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

    He played six seasons in Tampa Bay during which time he was twice named to the Pro Bowl and once received All-Pro honors. He finished his career in the 2018-2019 season with the then Oakland Raiders.

    In his seven NFL seasons, Martin rushed for 5,356 yards and ran in 30 touchdowns. He racked up more than 1,200 receiving yards and a pair of receiving TDs as well.

    We caught up with Martin once ... congratulating him shortly after he was drafted by the Bucs.

    Martin was 36.

    RIP

    Jesús Montero, a one-time top prospect for the Yankees who played five seasons in the Majors, died this weekend at age 35, the Yankees announced on Sunday. Montero was reportedly involved in a motorbike crash earlier this month in which he sustained major internal injuries.

    Montero was ranked the No. 1 Yankees prospect and No. 9 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline in 2011. After posting an .814 OPS and starting 87 games at catcher that season for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Montero was promoted to the Yankees in September.

    Initially, the 21-year-old Montero lived up to the hype, batting .328/.406/.590 in the final month of the 2011 season and looking like a potential middle-of-the-order fixture for the Yankees for years to come.

    The Yankees, however pulled off a stunning trade with the Mariners prior to the 2012 season, sending Montero and pitcher Héctor Noesí to Seattle for pitchers Jose Campos and Michael Pineda.

    Montero hit 15 home runs in 2012 but appeared in just 73 big league games after that because of injuries and a suspension for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy, finishing his big league career in 2015. He had stints in the Blue Jays and Orioles organizations but did not appear in the Majors for those clubs. He most recently played winter ball in Venezuela in 2020-21.

    Montero was signed by the Yankees as an international free agent for $1.6 million and eventually became what many believed was a can't-miss prospect. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Montero "may well be the best player I've ever traded" following the deal with Seattle.

    Montero finished his career with a .253 average and 28 home runs in 226 games.
