Manny Pacquiao is fighting his way out of an extremely tough spot -- dude's been named as a witness in a nasty legal war between his legendary boxing trainer and two members of his famously tight entourage.

It's all over an alleged incident in 2008 at the L.A. gym where Manny trains. A male member of Manny's entourage claims he was threatened and viciously attacked by trainer Freddie Roach after he dropped Manny off at the gym. The alleged victim and his wife filed suit against Roach.

The trial is set to begin today and Manny is smack in the middle of the official "joint witness list" -- meaning he could be called to testify in the case.

Stay tuned ...

Jayson Williams was driving the SUV that crashed early this AM, and there's video to prove it ... this according to law enforcement sources.

We're told in addition to video, there are independent witnesses who can place Williams behind the wheel.

We're told Williams insists he was not the driver.

Our law enforcement sources say Williams was the only one in the SUV and no one was seen fleeing the scene.

The couple arrived at the San Diego airport last night -- where the St. Louis Rams back-up quarterback talked about one particular talent he can do from his knees ...

... don't worry, it's a football thing.

NBA star Gilbert Arenas didn't have a license to possess the guns he stored in his locker in D.C.... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told there were four guns in Arenas' locker that were turned over to police, including a gold-plated Desert Eagle -- a gigantic handgun.

Arenas could be charged for "CPWL"-- carrying a pistol without a license.

As we previously reported, Arenas could also face assault charges stemming from the alleged gun-toting standoff with a teammate on Xmas Eve.

D.C. cops plan to bring in Washington Wizards coach Flip Saunders today for questioning. GM Ernie Grunfeld will be brought in later this week.

Jayson Williams fractured his neck in a car accident this morning ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told Williams is in the prison ward in the emergency room at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City.

A source connected with Williams tells TMZ prosecutors in his manslaughter retrial have been in touch with Williams' lawyers and they will move to revoke his bail.

Williams hit a tree while driving his SUV early this morning. He was arrested on suspicion of DWI.

UPDATE -- Williams was officially charged with drunken driving by cops ... at his hospital bed.

In the vid, Iron Mike is stoic as he walks through the airport with his wife and their child.

Six minutes into the video ... as the pap follows him toward the bathroom, Mike snaps, "You can't come through here. Put that away brother, I will kill you!" After that, Tyson charges at the camera ... and the tape stops.

But here's the mystery. The video -- which TMZ obtained from an outside agency -- was shot by a photographer who made at least 7 edits before handing it over. Did he incite Tyson? Did he touch the baby's stroller, as Tyson claims? We don't know.

The L.A. City Attorney rejected the case against both Tyson and the photog last week -- citing "insufficient evidence."

Loleini Tonga finally opened up to ESPN's "Outside the Lines," saying "I think he thought maybe he was gonna land ... he was gonna land right?" She added, "He wouldn't want to be gone away from his kids."

When asked why she didn't just stop the car, Tonga explained, "I was gonna stop, but there was nowhere to stop on that road."

As TMZ first reported, Henry died on December 17 as a result of his injuries.

Fun Fact: Matt won a Gold Glove award in 2009 for his good hands....

Former NBA star Jayson Williams was arrested on suspicion of DWI early this morning -- after his SUV struck a tree in Manhattan around 3:15 AM.

Williams, whose vehicle careened into a tree just off the 20th Street exit of FDR Drive, was in the passenger seat of his black Mercedes when cops arrived on scene -- but witnesses say he was driving and officers said no one else was in the car.

Jayson was taken to Bellevue Hospital with minor injuries.

You might remember Williams as the guy who accidentally killed his driver back in 2002 with a shotgun. The jury was deadlocked in 2004 on a reckless manslaughter charge and he is scheduled to be retried.

Our sources say Tiger was very clear on his plan -- go to a friend's estate in Africa and completely disappear from public view. One source believes Tiger left almost immediately.

Almost no one knows for sure, but wherever Tiger is, he's left nary a paw print.

Tiger Fun Fact: He proposed to Elin in South Africa in 2003.

A plan is in place to convene a grand jury to determine if NBA star Gilbert Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton will be charged with crimes for their alleged Xmas eve locker room gun-toting showdown ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Arenas -- aka Agent Zero -- and Crittenton are being interviewed by D.C. detectives right now. Law enforcement tells TMZ after the interviews, the plan is to take the case before the D.C. grand jury. We're told the U.S. Attorney (which presents local cases to the grand jury in D.C.) will call the head coach for the Washington Wizards and someone on the security team at the Verizon Center as witnesses.

We're told, in addition to weapons charges, Arenas and Crittenton could be charged with criminal assault.

As for their interview with cops, a rep for the U.S. Attorney's office is present and the case could go to the grand jury as early as today.

Both players have said the incident was nothing more than a prank.

Buffalo Bills star running back Marshawn Lynch is in for another long off-season -- dude's being sued by the woman he ran over during an alleged drunken hit-and-run incident back in 2008.

In the lawsuit, filed in Erie County Court, the 27-year-old victim, Kimberley Shpeley, claims Lynch was drunk when he got behind the wheel of his Porsche Cayenne in Buffalo at 3:30 AM on May 31, 2008 and struck her as she was attempting to cross the street.

Lynch was investigated for the incident, and ultimately reached a deal with prosecutors that kept him out of jail -- though he did plead guilty to something called "failure to exercise due care toward a pedestrian" and had to pay a $100 fine.

Question is ...

He only gets it once a year.
