Ex-USC Football Star: I Want Nothing to do With Them

Published | Updated

It's no secret that NFL rookie Taylor Mays harbors some bitterness toward his former USC coach Pete Carroll -- but during last night's Sunday Night Football game, dude took a shot at the whole school.

During player intros -- where players typically name the school where they played college ball -- Mays didn't say USC ... and instead mentioned O'Dea High School.

As you may know, Mays blamed Pete Carroll when he fell to the second round in the NFL draft -- claiming Carroll misled him about his draft-ability.

Now, with all the other drama surrounding the school -- seems Mays would rather not have anything to do with it.

Tara Lipinski Skates in Fender Bender Lawsuit

Published | Updated

Tara Lipinski just scored a perfect 10 in her legal battle against a dude who claims the former Olympic gold-medalist wrecked his car and caused him "serious injuries" -- in fact, girl got off the hook scot-free.

The guy in question -- named Bryan Fuller -- sued Lipinski for $7,500 in July, claiming she backed into him with her SUV while he was exiting an L.A. parking lot last year ... and as a result, he suffered "serious injuries to his neck, back, left shoulder, left arm" ... and the list goes on.

Dude claimed his medical bills totaled $2,279 after the incident -- not to mention "at least" $1,223.02 in damages to his vehicle -- but clearly the judge wasn't buying his case ... because when the gavel came down earlier this week, Mr. Fuller was awarded jack squat.

Lipinski has a history of sliding by.

Published | Updated

Undefeated MMA badass Daniel Puder is laying the blueprints for a nationwide gay-bullying crackdown -- here's how it works: 1) send the dude an email, 2) dude flies to your school, 3) no more bully.

The issue of bullying has clearly made an impact on the former WWE star ... who recently blogged, "There is an issue with our society when gay young kids are getting bullied to the point they are killing themselves."

But after scarfing down a burger at Stout in L.A. last night -- protein-style, obviously -- Puder hatched a new plan ... telling us, "Anybody that's getting bullied in the whole U.S. can shoot me an email at dp@knockoutsgym.com."

He adds,"You email me, I'll go fly to your school ... and we'll go talk to the bullies for you."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make 500,000 bullies crap their pants at once.

Ex-NFL Star -- Busted with 'Cocked' Automatic Pistol

Published | Updated

Glen Coffee -- the former San Francisco 49ers star who recently retired after one season to pursue a religious calling -- was arrested for illegally carrying a "cocked" automatic pistol in his car ... and TMZ has obtained his mug shot.

According to police in Fort Walton Beach, Florida ... 23-year-old Coffee was pulled over for speeding ... but cops quickly discovered that Glen's vehicle -- a 2008 Cadillac -- had no registration or insurance.

Because the vehicle was deemed "unlawful to be on the roadway," cops called for the Cadillac to be towed ... but first, they ran a quick search -- and found a "black 380 SIG Sauer automatic pistol."

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ ... "The pistol was recovered with the hammer 'cocked' to the rear. It was located in the center console ... readily accessible to Coffee."

Coffee was arrested and taken to a nearby station -- where he was booked for carrying a concealed firearm ... a 3rd degree felony.

Coffee had a pretty decent rookie season with the 49ers ... but suddenly "retired" during training camp this year claiming "[God] told me a long time ago to walk away from the game.”

LeBron & Dwyane -- Bullets Fly at Training Camp

Published | Updated

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade watched helplessly as several gunmen opened fire at Miami Heat training camp recently -- but thankfully, it was all part of an awesome (and safe) gun demonstration.

The Heat squeezed in some practice time at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida last week -- and for some reason, the team spent a portion of their free time watching military personnel flaunt their firepower.

And if that's not enough -- LeBron even demonstrates proper bullet-dodging technique. Check it out.

For the record -- Gilbert Arenas was not present.

Lamar Odom Odd Man Out in Spain

Published | Updated

Right after the Los Angeles Lakers landed in Spain on Tuesday -- Pau Gasol took his teammates for a night out in his home country ... everyone except Lamar Odom.

TMZ has learned ... Odom didn't make it out with the boys because he didn't have a thing to wear -- because when the Lakers' private jet touched down in Barcelona, his luggage was nowhere to be found.

Apparently, it's not exactly easy for a 6'10", 230-pounder to roll into a store and pick up an outfit at the last minute.

Odom has since been reunited with his baggage ... and all is right with the world.
