After a family brawl left former WWE legend Ric Flair with a black eye and his daughter tased by police, wrestling blogs have been laying the Smackdown on TMZ.

Wrestling fans are buzzing that our stories put the kibosh on an endorsement The Nature Boy had with Coke. Whoa Nelly! Flair never had an endorsement with Coke -- at least that's what Flair's peeps say.

But think about Flair doing a concealer ad for Revlon. Now you're talkin ...

Testicularly challenged biking god Lance Armstrong could be facing a tough road back to competition.

Strict anti-doping rules dictate that riders coming out of retirement must wait a mandatory six-month dope-free period, which could thwart Lance's plans to compete in Australia in January.

Have no fear, he still has plenty of time to get ready for an unprecedented eighth ass-kicking win of the Tour de France next June.

Gettin' in a dig for his former team wasn't enough, he put TMZ's eating habits on blast too.

Vick pulled the ol' "Paris Hilton" by leaving a bunch of his stuff in a storage locker that hadn't been paid for. The contents of the locker, stocked with all sorts of Vick's personal goodies, eventually went on the auction block. Since only five people showed up to the sale, a dude named Edward Howard says he was able to obtain the treasure trove of obscurities for a whopping ten bucks.

Now, Howard says he's already made a few hundred bucks selling off some of Vick's bedroom furniture and clothes on a street corner just a few days ago.

What Howard won't sell are pictures of Vick with his first-born son Mitez, a signed football Mike gave the kid, and other baby memorabilia. Howard says he'd like to meet Vick some day to hand over the stuff personally.

He also doesn't know anything about women, clutch hitting or winning the World Series ... but we're not bitter or anything.

Andy Baldwin -- the consistently half-naked famewhore from "The Bacholor" -- has challenged the other shirtless wonder, Matthew McConaughey, to a tops-off rematch of the Malibu Triathlon.

Even though Baldwin smeared Matty during the race at the 'Bu, he still wants to go another round -- this time in Andy's home turf of DC. And it's totally not to draw attention to himself ...

Joe Montana and his four Super Bowl rings watched his son Nick (#5) toss the pigskin around at his high school football game on Friday night.

Oft-troubled WWE star Jeff Hardy was kicked off an airplane flight earlier this week, but now the WWE says it won't be his third strike.

Hardy was pegged by Southwest Airlines officials Tuesday at the Nashville International Airport as too intoxicated to board the plane. We're told he found a different way out of town.

The once-fired and two-time suspended WWE star has had his share of drug problems and can't afford a third strike -- which would win him a pink slip.

But the whole thing Tuesday was precautionary -- there was no incident and the WWE will turn a blind eye. And there's this -- Hardy is starring in the next WWE pay-per-view event next month, and that will line the org's pockets nicely.

But Lou Ann Pieper is doing just that. She alleges in a lawsuit she was watching a game at the RCA Dome last January when she got torched by a hot firework that didn't explode but landed on the back of her neck. Pieper says she suffered first- and second-degree burns, and missed work too.

TMZ has confirmed Oakland Raiders superstar Tommy Kelly -- one of the NFL's highest paid defensive players -- was busted Sunday night in Oakland on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The arrest came after the Raiders beat the Chiefs in Kansas City earlier in the day.

To celebrate Mexican Independence Day, ESPN replayed one of the game's highlights with audio from the Spanish-language broadcast. After the clip, "MNF" announcer Tony Kornheiser commented, "I took high school Spanish and that either means that nobody is going to touch him or 'Could you pick up my dry cleaning in the morning?'"

Two hours later, Kornheiser vehemently apologized for the comment, saying, "It wasn't my first mistake, it undoubtedly won't be my last ... but a 100% apology."
