Arian Foster LOST BET, REFUSES TO PAY UP … Says ‘Fun Run’ Savant

Published | Updated

Arian Foster pulled an Aaron Rodgers – and not in a good way – allegedly LOSING a bet he made over the game “Fun Run” and refusing to pay up … TMZ Sports has learned.

The person behind the allegations is “Martyn” – the 3rd ranked “Fun Run” player in the world (“Fun Run” is a hugely popular multi-player cell phone game).

The drama began on April 25th … when Arian challenged the whole internet by tweeting “Fun run king. Come get washed.” Apparently Martyn was feeling dirty because he tweeted back to Arian “I bet you your jersey you can't beat me,” along with a screen shot showing he was the third ranked ‘Fun Run’ player in the world.

Arian’s response “Get On” and oh baby it was on.

Martyn tells TMZ Sports the two played three times with Arian losing ALL THREE (embarrassing) … but Arian NEVER sent the jersey and refuses to address the issue.

However, Martyn says Foster has continued to challenge him in the game – “He obviously wants to beat me."

Martyn --who’s from England-- says he isn’t too peeved about the whole thing because he doesn’t really follow American Football – but notes, “Arian was on my fantasy team this season.”

Foster’s fantasy numbers from last year? 542 yards and ONE touchdown… Martyn should get a jersey just for that.

Attempts to reach Foster were unsuccessful.

We spoke with someone at the center who tells us Jameis "put in work" -- cleaning gym equipment, mopping floors, sweeping and other janitorial work.

Now that his comm. service is complete, Winston will NOT face criminal prosecution -- and he's already been reinstated to the Florida State baseball team.

And people at the race track tell us ... he was in such a great mood, he handed out several $100 bills to complete strangers to celebrate his big victory. We're told he handed out at least $600.

Eventually, race track security advised Welker to move toward the exit before things got chaotic ... but dude, STRONG MOVE, WELKER.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... Sterling's people were in touch with several law firms last week, including the powerhouse firm Glaser Weil. Patty Glaser is one of the top litigators in the country and has repped scores of celebs, including Conan O'Brien and Keith Olbermann.

We've also learned Sterling's people have been in touch with the mega-law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan, a 650-member law firm specializing in business litigation.

Our sources made it clear ... Sterling will not go down without a fight.

Published | Updated

10:07 AM PT -- A rep for the bowling alley tells TMZ Sports ... Russell was the big winner, bowling 148 ... and Justin placed 3rd.

The rep says Bieber only drank water ... alcohol was NOT served.

As for food, we're told "Justin only likes potato skins, and had the chef prepare 3 plates for the group."

Jesus saves ... but Bieber bowls ... which is why Russell Wilson made time for BOTH superstars in Seattle this weekend.

Dodgers Star Carl Crawford YOU'RE RICH, PAY ME ... Says Baby Mama

Published | Updated

Carl Crawford's baby mama is demanding $15k-per-month in child support, TMZ Sports has learned ... which seems high until you factor in his $142 MILLION contract with the Dodgers.

The outfielder is still in the middle of a child support war with his ex Amy Freeman -- who claims in new legal docs that she can't take care of their two young kids on the measly $5k-per-month she's getting from Carl right now.

So, she's asking a judge to temporarily raise his payment to a "reasonable" $15k per-month -- or $189k-per-year.

The judge has yet to rule ... but Crawford doesn't seem to have a problem with cash -- he recently took his new baby mama Evelyn Lozada out to dinner in L.A. in a brand new $300k Rolls-Royce.

Must be nice ...

Donald Sterling Super Racist Comments About Celebs Alleged In Super Ridiculous Court Filing

Published | Updated

Donald Sterling made racist comments about everyone from Beyonce to Charles Barkley ... if you believe an ex-Clippers "janitor" who filed for a restraining order against Sterling -- except no one in their right mind would believe this guy.

TMZ obtained a copy of the court doc filed Friday by a Cliff Paul (yes, like the State Farm commercial) who claims he is ... related to Chris Paul, a former janitor for Sterling, and was technically savvy enough to bug Sterling's office for years. You get the picture ... this sounds like a crazy person.

In the doc, he claims to have heard Sterling have hyper-racist convos about Beyonce, Chris Paul, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kim Kardashian -- and most of the language alleged in the document is far too racist to even repeat.

Some tame examples -- Sterling allegedly said Charles Barkley's head looks like a "retread tire" ... and when George Zimmerman was acquitted, he allegedly said ... "Buy that guy a beer." According to the docs Sterling even went to an IHOP with Paula Deen just to laugh at Black dishwashers.

Not shockingly ... the absurd request for a restraining order was quickly denied in a Florida District Court.

No word if this will affect Cliff's contract with State Farm.
