Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones is being sued for allegedly SABATOGING a Super Bowl afterparty in New Orleans last year by running late ... problem is, he was all tied up because he was PLAYING IN THE SUPER BOWL!!!

Jones is being sued by After Party Entertainment, which claims JJ agreed to attend a party at the House of Blues in New Orleans on the night of the SB from 11pm to 1am.

In the suit, APE says it paid Jones handsomely -- PLUS sprung for flights, hotel rooms and gifts for Jones and 20 of his closest friends.

But APE says Jones had the nerve to arrive to the party an hour and 15 minutes LATE that night ... and arrived with 40 people in tow, instead of 20. He also demanded that his entire party get in for free.

Plus, APE also says Jones only hung out with his friends that night instead of mingling ... and never promoted the party on Instagram or Twitter, as he promised.

Here's the problem ... Jones was playing in the frickin' Super Bowl earlier that evening -- a Super Bowl that was DELAYED 34 minutes because of a freak power outage. The game didn't end 'til 10:45 pm.

Plus, Jones was also probably tied up by the media ... who were hammering the guy about his record-setting 108-yard touchdown run which played a crucial role in the Ravens victory.

Still, APE is demanding $192k in damages -- plus attorney's fees.

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley says last night's Royal Rumble was so badly mishandled, it was a slap in the face to wrestling fans ... all because the WWE refused to allow a HUGE superstar to participate.

Foley -- aka Mankind -- went off on social media right after the Pay-Per-View event ... blasting the org. for not including bearded fan-favorite Daniel Bryan in the main 30-man event.

"I've never felt so disgusted at the conclusion of a WWE (or any) PPV," Foley said ... "Like many of you out there, I just don't get it."

The fans at the event were just as pissed off as Foley -- 'cause when it became clear Bryan was participating in the RR, the stadium erupted in "boos" that continued for the rest of the event.

Foley -- who's still under contract with WWE (for another month) -- also tweeted, "Does @WWE actually hate their own audience?"

After the Rumble, Bryan also tweeted ... saying, "Sorry guys, the machine wanted me nowhere near the Royal Rumble match. But I thank everyone for their support."

He added, "They try to keep US down and away from the top spots, but they can’t ignore the reactions forever. Keep voicing your opinions."

As for Mick, he claims he's so upset with the WWE, he's going to throw a brick through his TV to protest.

Pittsburgh Pirates superstar Andrew McCutchen tells TMZ Sports ... just because he makes a fortune doesn't mean he pays for team dinners -- in fact, it often comes down to CREDIT CARD ROULETTE.

The reigning National League MVP (who signed a $51.5 mil contract in 2012) was in NY and told our photog he's happy to cover family 100% of the time -- and even rookies get a free meal every now and then -- but when it comes to his highly paid teammates, luck often dictates who gets stuck with the bill.

For the record, credit card roulette is super popular with athletes -- everyone gives their card to the server, who then picks one at random ... and that unlucky S.O.B. pays for the entire check, tip included.

Cutch, who recently proposed to his GF on the "Ellen" show, also admits the one downside of being engaged ... he often gets "stuck" watching his fiancee's favorite show -- the Kardashians.

With his ex-GF out of the picture (she's all yours Bieber), TMZ Sports has learned Philadelphia Eagles superstar DeSean Jackson has been hangin' out with a new chick in Hawaii ... a bigtime porn star.

We've learned ... DJ's been getting close with Michelle Maylene (34B-24-32) ... star of such films as "Da Vinci Load," "Fine Ass Bitches 4" and "Slant Eye for the Straight Guy 2."

Sources tell TMZ Sports ... the two are not "official" or anything -- just enjoying each other's time. They're currently in Hawaii where DJ is playing in the Pro Bowl.

We broke the story ... DeSean's ex-GF Chantel Jeffries was the passenger in Justin Bieber's Lambo when he was arrested last week.

The biggest threat to morale for Team USA at Sochi this year is ... a SWEATER -- this according to several American athletes who tell TMZ Sports their Olympics outfits are straight up ugly.

Ralph Lauren just revealed the U.S. opening ceremony outfits the other day ... and the jocks we spoke to tell us there's a buzz in the Olympic community about how unattractive they are.

"Initially, the reaction was 'Are we REALLY wearing that?" ... one Team USA athlete told us.

Another reaction -- "HAHAHAHAHA, oh man ..."

Another Olympian was more optimistic -- saying, "Maybe people will see us wearing the sweaters and they'll become a trend. Or maybe they'll be worn at ugly sweater parties."

One thing's for sure -- the design isn't turning off fans. The online team store is SOLD OUT of the sweaters … which cost a cool $595-a-pop.

The Seattle Seahawks have one HUGE advantage over the Broncos in the Super Bowl ... their cheerleaders' asses are wayyy bigger -- this according to bona fide booty-expert Sir Mix-A-Lot.

The "Baby Got Back" singer tells TMZ Sports ... there is no competition between the teams when it comes to butt-size, saying simply "Seattle cheerleaders got the best asses."

Mix -- who's from Seattle -- is a diehard Seahawks fan ... but his views on the cheerleaders aren't totally biased ... 'cause the rapper admits the "Denver cheerleaders have the best t**ties."

Justin Verlander and Kate Upton are back together, and no one's happier than a boat load of teenage boys in Tampa.

Sure, sources tell us the boys in this video shot today were definitely cheering more for getting a peek of Kate in-person (primo material for any hormone-filled boy) -- and probably never noticed the Cy Young winner.

But still ... the Detroit Tigers ace and the supermodel were spotted all over each other -- partying on a boat for Tampa's annual pirate-themed Gasparilla festival.

Justin sported the traditional buccaneer eye patch as a costume. Kate's costume -- just looking hot.

Justin Bieber is getting support from one of his famous friends -- and it's someone who knows a thing or two about being locked up.

Floyd Mayweather offered Bieber some thoughts of encouragement Saturday afternoon via Twitter ... saying, "Keep your head up and know that you can overcome anything you are faced with in life. TMT supports you."

Of course, "Money's" bromance with Bieber is nothing new ... Justin walked Floyd into the ring at the Alvarez fight last year, and Jr. was a guest of honor at JB's famous Gatsby Party.

Seattle Seahawks star Golden Tate wouldn't be the Super Bowl caliber player he is today if not for attempted maple bar theft gone bad ... so says the owner of the donut shop Golden tried to jack.

We broke the story back in 2010 ... Tate was confronted by cops after a baker at the Top Pot donut shop in Washington caught the wide receiver trying to steal maple bars after business hours.

The 911 call was LEGENDARY -- with the baker telling the 911 operator that a "drunk" and "retarded" Tate stole her keys and some tasty donuts and wouldn't give 'em back.

Cops met up with Tate -- and the receiver was given an official warning. He later apologized and went on to form a business relationship with Top Pot.

Now, 4 years later ... we spoke with Top Pot co-founder Mark Klebeck who tells us Golden used the incident as a learning experience and matured into a better player and a better person as a result.

"I think he’s a great guy," Klebeck says ... "He was straight out of college in a big city and made some mistakes, but didn’t hurt any body."

Giants punter Steve Weatherford tells TMZ Sports ... he's obsessed with "Teen Mom" ... but despite his super-fandom, the NFL star says he draws the line at Farrah Abraham's sex tape.

Weatherford admits he's stumbled upon a free preview of Farrah's venture into porn, but says he can't justify shelling out money to watch the entire cinematic experience.

"I'm not paying $5 to watch Farrah."

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins got real pissy during a wrestling event last week -- and by pissy, we mean he went pee in the middle of a match.

Rollins dropped the urinary news during an interview with the Wonder Years lead singer Dan Campbell ... after Seth was asked what his all-time worst mistake in the ring was.

The ex-tag champ says he badly had to go during the match ... but the best part is how he solved the problem.

Believe in the not breaking the seal.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles went HAM on a turntable at a Hawaiian nightclub ... DJ'ing on stage in front of a crowd PACKED with NFL superstars ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The rager went down Thursday night at M Nightclub in Honolulu ... and we're told Jamaal sent the place into a frenzy when he hopped on stage and spun "Ocho Cinco" by French Montana with DJ Jami.

The party was hosted by former Houston Oilers QB Warren Moon ... and sources tell us, Pro Bowlers like Terrell Suggs, Tony Gonzalez, and DeSean Jackson each had their own tables complete with three bottles of Ciroc.

We know you're having problems coping with your football withdrawals as you wait for the colossal clash of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.

So to fill that empty void you may be feeling we've matched up some of each team's hottest cheerleaders against each other in one epic battle of the babes.

Keyshawn Johnson has just shed 140 unwanted pounds ... because he's officially moving far away from Justin Bieber ... and sadly for her, Kourtney Kardashian is gaining 140 lbs.

Our real estate spies tell us ... Kourtney paid just over $8.4 million for Keyshawn's 6-bedroom 9-bathroom 11,746 sq. ft. home in The Oaks -- located just blocks away from Bieber's Calabasas compound. The deal will close in less than 2 weeks.

We're told Keyshawn's move has nothing to do with Bieber, but we know Keyshawn despises the kid and has had numerous run-ins, the latest of which was a nuclear fight with Justin's bodyguards outside the singer's house the night of the egging incident.

Darren Sharper's camp has finally broken its silence on the sexual assault investigation in New Orleans ... telling TMZ Sports the former NFL star DID NOT rape anyone and there's video that backs him up.

Sharper is being investigated in N.O. after a woman filed a police report back in September claiming Darren picked her up at a bar (after she consumed a "large amount" of alcohol) and had sex with her against her will.

Now, Sharper's legal team tells TMZ Sports ... "There were numerous witnesses who observed the [accuser] on her own and also observed her after encountering Sharper."

Team Sharper says ... the witnesses say the accuser was "following him willingly throughout the evening" and claims surveillance footage syncs up with the witness accounts.

Sharper's lawyers say the video has been turned over to investigators.

"No evidence suggests or implies that a sexual assault occurred," Sharper's lawyer says.

So far, New Orleans officials have not charged Sharper with a crime -- and his lawyers say it's because they've evaluated the evidence and have decided there's not a strong case against him.
