An LAPD police horse was attacked by a pit bull outside Dodgers Stadium today ... when the dog jumped out of a car that was in line to enter the stadium for today's game ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement tells us the horse (named Duck) was on patrol to help keep the peace for the Dodgers vs. Giants game -- when the dog escaped from a Dodger fan's car and bit the horse in its hind leg.

We're told the horse kicked the dog in the head ... and the animals were separated. Neither the horse nor the dog suffered any serious injury.

Law enforcement tells us no charges will be filed ... and hope this incident will be the worst of their problems today.

With all of the trade rumors floating around this off-season, we expected ONE of the Harbaugh brothers to be moving ... but we didn't expect it would be the one in Baltimore.

We've learned ... Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has just listed his sprawling 2-acre castle-esque property in Baltimore ... and he's asking for a cool $2.1 million.

Problem is ... John paid $2.34 mil when he bought the place back in 2008, according to our friends at Realtor.com ... so there's a damn good chance he could take a hit in the pocket -- unless a bidding war breaks out.

The house is huge -- 8,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms with a wishing well and a fire pit in the backyard. Plus, the estate is only 25 minutes from the stadium.

Michael Jordan is an absolute CHEAPSKATE ... so says his BFF Charles Barkley who claims MJ is so chintzy, he actually SLAPS Barkley when he tries to give money to homeless people.

Thursday April 3rd ... a day Dana White says he will remember FOREVER ... because it was the day he got a tweet from the GREATEST FIGHTER OF ALL TIME ... Muhammad Ali!!

This video is GREAT -- White was leaving Mr. Chow in Bev Hills and couldn't hold back his excitement about the tweet he got from Ali: a pic of Ali fighting a Japanese wrestler back in 1976 along with the caption, "What you think @DanaWhite? Muhammad Ali - the original #MMA fighter?"

"It was the greatest day ever," White said ... "The greatest tweet I've ever received in my life."

White happened to be leaving the restaurant at the same time as a bunch of rich oil and gas guys from Texas -- and totally bros out with the gang ... calling 'em a bunch of "rich motherf**kers."

As he walks back into his car, White shouted out to the group -- "Be rich, prosper and have fun!"

Boomer Esiason's priorities are totally SCREWED UP ... so says Gloria Allred who's blasting the ex-NFL star for suggesting athletes should NEVER take paternity leave if it clashes with playing in a game.

With his contract with the Redskins locked up, DeSean Jackson was back in L.A. last night where he celebrated at one of the fanciest restaurants in town ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

D-Jax hit up Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills ... and ordered so much food, he had to take some home.

We tried to ask the guy about his new team, his new QB and the drama in Philadelphia -- but all Jackson wanted to talk about was his food!

Boomer Esiason says he's "truly sorry" for any pain he's caused Mets player Daniel Murphy ... for suggesting his wife should have had a C-section before the season so he wouldn't have missed any games for the birth of his child.

Esiason has been under fire for the comments he made on his radio show yesterday -- in which he acknowledges Murphy had the legal right to take paternity leave, but says it's more important for the child for athletes to WORK than miss games.

Now, Boomer is apologizing to Murphy -- saying he's sorry for making comments that put Murphy's life "under a spotlight."

"That is my fault for uttering the word ‘C-section’ on this radio station," Boomer said.

Esiason continued, "No man should have to go through that. And certainly Daniel Murphy, who we both admire much as a baseball player as anybody else -- and all I can say is that I truly, truly, feel terrible about what I put them through. So for that I certainly apologize."

Dennis Rodman was back to "North Korea mode" this week -- clutching a beer bottle and acting like a wild man at a hotel in Florida ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The Worm was at the Hard Rock Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday -- when he grabbed a bottle and hopped up on a stage with a live band that was playing the Pearl Jam classic "Better Man."

At one point, Rodman took over the mic and belted out a verse while jumping around the stage in his sequined tank top and feathered hat combo.

After the song, Dennis grabbed his bottle and went back into the crowd.

Of course, Rodman checked into rehab in January after his disastrous trip to N. Korea -- where he admitted he had been drinking like a fish right before his infamous screaming interview with CNN.

Game wasn't the only rapper impressed with LeBron James' rap skills -- ex--Big Tymers star Mannie Fresh tells TMZ Sports he thinks the guy is so talented, he wants to TEAM UP.

Fresh tells us he heard 'Bron's verse on the new rap song we published on TMZSports.com this week -- and says, "LeBron is a lot nicer than a lot of the rappers out right now."

"He got a nice little flow. He was a little cocky with it ... I always like that in rappers. He was like 'S**t, I'm not backing down!'"

He adds, "2 rings ... that was a dope line."

As far as a collaboration goes, Fresh says he's all about it -- "Who knows, maybe we do this and LeBron's my partna -- and I'll be sitting courtside at the NBA Finals!"

Stone Cold Steve Austin just touched down in New Orleans to make an appearance Sunday at WrestleMania XXX ... but when it comes to what he'll be doing, the legendary wrestler remains tight-lipped.

Stone Cold hightailed it to N.O.L.A. this morning for the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania -- which airs live on the WWE Network -- but refused to tell a photog at the airport what role he'll play at the event.

Austin hasn't been to Mania in 3 years ... and we're guessing he didn't fly all the way across the country to NOT Stone Cold stun some jabroni.

Donald Trump could put the Buffalo Bills BACK ON THE MAP -- so says Bills legend Andre Reed who tells TMZ Sports he FULLY SUPPORTS Donald becoming an owner of the team.

Earlier this week, Trump claimed he'd been approached about buying a stake in the squad -- and said he would "take a look at it."

Now, Reed says his fingers are crossed that Trump actually pulls the trigger because, "I think he would uplift the whole city."

"I like the idea of Trump taking over," Reed says ... "He'd bring change."

"The Bills are in such disarray, that bringing in The Donald would give fans hope that the team would stay in Buffalo."

Reed says he understands owning an NFL team is incredibly challenging, but says "I think he'd be able to deal with it. His track record speaks for itself."

Andre -- who's set to be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame later this year -- says he'd rally other Bills greats like Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas to get behind Trump and help in any way they can.

WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan is STOKED his "Yes" chant is creeping it's way into mainstream sporting events ... like NCAA basketball games ... telling TMZ Sports there's one moment that stands above the rest.

Minnesota Timberwolves player Dante Cunningham was arrested for domestic violence Thursday ... after cops say he attacked a female around 4AM ... law enforcement tells TMZ Sports.

Cops tell us ... the woman claims the 26-year-old NBA player attacked her at her home and then left the scene.

After officers arrived at the woman's house, Cunningham returned to the scene where he was arrested.

Cops say the accuser did not require medical treatment for her injuries.

Cunningham was transported to a nearby jail where he was booked -- and is currently being held without bail.

Terrell Owens is officially CALLING OUT Jalen Rose ... challenging the former NBA star to settle their beef on the court ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!

TMZ Sports spoke with T.O. in NYC -- who tells us he was just joking when he said he'd ball up Michael Jordan during a video rant last month.

But Owens says he's DEAD SERIOUS about taking it to Rose -- telling us he saw the clip of Rose talking smack about him on TMZSports.com and feels they've done enough talking ... it's time to put up or shut up.

"Jalen Rose, I'm calling you out. I will cross you up," Owens said.

When we shot Jalen the other day, he seemed too afraid of a showdown with Owens -- saying, "I'm old and washed up, I can bust j's and post up T.O. ... and I'm no Michael Jordan."

Stay tuned ...

Boomer Esiason doesn't believe pro athletes should take paternity leave -- suggesting they should do whatever it takes to PLAY because that's in the best interest of the kid.
