Keyshawn Johnson Arrested For Domestic Violence [Update with Video]
1:34 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has learned ... the woman involved in the incident is Keyshawn's girlfriend of 7 years. Sources tell us ... Keyshawn is adamant he never physically struck the woman -- but acknowledges grabbing her phone and smashing it on the ground.
But it seems the two are working things out -- because moments ago, TMZ Sports shot footage of the two out TOGETHER at an AT&T store in L.A., presumably buying a new cell phone. FYI -- sources connected to the situation tell us Key's GF was not the person who called police -- but rather another person who was there at the time and became concerned during the argument.
Keyshawn Johnson has been arrested for domestic violence ... TMZ Sports has learned.
DeSean Jackson Hollers At Rihanna Outside L.A. Nightclub
DeSean Jackson's confidence level is THROUGH THE ROOF these days ... 'cause it appears the guy was hollerin' at Rihanna outside an L.A. nightclub this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.
The Washington Redskins wide receiver -- who just signed a brand new $24 million contract -- was hangin' out with The Game at Lure nightclub in Hollywood ... when RiRi's car pulled up.
Jackson, sportin' a black and blue bandana, went right up to the window and started chattin' up the singer ... with Game actin' as a wingman.
Rihanna eventually rolled up her window and left -- without Jackson -- but D-Jax seemed pretty happy about the encounter ... at least, judging by the HUUUGE smile on his face!
Jamal Anderson BLOG OF THRONES 'Can't Sam Get Some Love?!'
**WARNING -- THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS SERIOUS "GAME OF THRONES" SPOILERS ... GOOD ONES, TOO ... PROCEED WITH CAUTION**
Atlanta Falcons great Jamal Anderson -- the creator of the Dirty Bird -- is a HARDCORE "Game of Thrones" fan ... like, borderline obsessed.
So, when we asked him to put together a Monday morning "GoT" recap, dude was ALL ABOUT IT.
Soooo ... without further ado, here's Jamal'S breakdown of last night's ep "Breaker of Chains."
-------------------
"Breaker of Chains" starts frantically enough with Sansa Stark fleeing Westeros, finally. At least that's what we think, until we see that her rescuer is none other than Lord Baelish.
Yeah, just have to hope this ends well. Of course, one of the most shady characters on the show is posted on a boat surrounded by fog. Good luck, Sansa ...
Next we cut to the Tyrell's lounging at their favorite coastal meeting point in Westeros. You gotta love these folks. Joffrey's body isn't even cold and they are already plotting to put Margaery in another king'as bed. It's queen or bust for them, clearly.
The Tyrell's ambition has nothing on the Lannister's deadly desire to continue to rule. Time is of the essence, as Tywin couldn't wait to start educating the new king about who's really in power. He won't have another Joffrey on his hands, if he can help it.
Poor Joffrey. Poisoned dead, yet his parents see fit to have a wild romp at the feet of his dead body. Jaime & Cersei Lannister, their tangled web is just getting stickier.
I don't know about you, but I've been Team Arya from day one. We catch up with the little one as her adventures with the Hound (Sandor Clegane) continue. For a second, it appeared that our wayward two were going to be settling down. For a second. Who would have thought that the Hound, a person on Arya's kill list, would be a valuable teacher? Stay tuned.
There aren't a ton of characters on GoT that you openly root for. Sir Davos is likely one. As the Hand of Stannis Baratheon, you just want things to work out for him. Appears he may have a plan. This should be good ...
My vote for saddest scene of the week goes to Sam & Gilly. Heavens, will they ever happen? I get the Knights Watch vow, but can't Sam get some love? Sheesh. I know Sam believes he's doing the right thing, but homie, you didn't leave Gilly at the safest spot.
Back to the aforementioned Tywin Lannister as he visits Prince Oberyn of House Martell to basically make him an offer that he can't refuse. Prince Oberyn knows they need him, but he also knows to watch his back. Tywin, he's got his hands in everyone pockets.
Man, they love to knock a little guy down. Tyrion is already sitting in a dungeon being charged with poisoning the king. Now, he loses one of his closest confidantes in Podrick. It will be interesting to see how, or if, he gets out of this.
HERE COME THE WILDLINGS! Clearly on a mission of destruction, the boys at Castle Black better get a plan together quick.
We close the show with Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Tagaryen (or Khaleesi) as she looks to liberate another city of populated with slaves. First, how bad ass is Daario Naharis? Dude handles business, with deadly accuracy. Khaleesi has a plan, it's called political warfare. Firing cannons full of shackles at the slaves, clever. Looks like another city will fall to her.
However, I'm still a bit salty that we didn't get to see any dragons.
As usual, a lot packed into one episode.
Boston Marathon American Wins! First Time In 31 Years
Not just Boston strong ... but AMERICAN strong ... a San Diego native just destroyed the competition at the Boston Marathon -- becoming the first man from the U.S. of A. to win the race since 1983.

Dr. Oz Tee Shot Takes Out Old Man By Accident
Dr. Oz hit a once-in-a-lifetime golf shot last week -- but it didn't hit the pin ... it hit an old guy in the arm!
According to our sources, Oz was golfing in Florida with his son, his father-in-law and another man. We're told Dr. Oz teed off at the third hole when a man in a golf cart came driving through from the fourth hole.
Wouldn't ya know it ... we're told Oz's shot hit the guy square on his right forearm. Our sources say Oz and his father-in-law, Dr. Gerald Lemole, went running over to the guy (who, we're told, was in his mid-seventies) to check on him.
According to our sources, Oz and Lemore tended to the guy until paramedics could arrive. We're told the guy was in a lot of pain, and his arm was badly bruised, but he ultimately did not go to the hospital.
If the guy sues, do you think Dr. Oz's malpractice insurance would cover it? Probably not ...
A source close to Dr. Oz tells TMZ it was not his tee shot that hit the man, but rather someone else in the group ... though the source would not say who.

Jase added the caption, "Working out with @TimTebow. #OperationBiceps."
Turns out Jase and Tebow are pretty tight -- in fact, they're both speaking at the 2014 Wildfire "Men's Impact Weekend" religious conference at the University of South Florida in June.

Boxer Hurricane Carter Dies at Age 76
Boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter -- whose wrongful murder conviction in the '60s became an international symbol for racial injustice -- has died.
Carter died in his sleep Sunday at his home in Toronto where he had been getting treatments for prostate cancer ... according to reports.
Carter spent 20 years in jail for a wrongful murder conviction -- but he maintained his innocence the entire time.
Police arrested Carter in '66 for a triple homicide ... however, none of the eyewitnesses identified Carter as the shooter. Carter was tried and convicted twice -- but after the second conviction was overturned in 1985, prosecutors gave up.
Bob Dylan even wrote a song about the trial called, "Hurricane."
The boxer's life story was made into a movie in 1999 called "The Hurricane" and he was played by Denzel Washington. The actor was nominated for an Oscar for the role.
He was 76.
