Terrell Owens is a suspect in the most ridiculous battery case in 2015 ... and TMZ Sports has learned the alleged weapon was a Starbucks coffee cup.

T.O. was in a Brentwood, CA Starbucks Tuesday when a 28-year-old guy started screaming his name. An annoyed Terrell implored the guy to pipe down. The guy claims T.O. intentionally tripped him as he walked past the former football great.

Fast forward to T.O. getting into a Mercedes to leave, and then the loud talker screamed something. One witness heard, "F*** you, Terrell Owens." Another witness claims the guy said, "Bitch ass n*****."

According to cops, Terrell allegedly got out of the car and threw a paper coffee cup at the guy.

The 28-year-old called the cops and the paramedics, claiming he was injured. When cops arrived they noticed there was no evidence of coffee on the man's clothes ... and no evidence of injury.

Police are investigating. Seriously.

7:30 AM PT -- We spoke to T.O. and he says the situation was even more bizarre and menacing. He tells us the guy was following him and a female friend around the store, then followed them to their car ... and threw a cup of liquid INTO the car.

Terrell says that's when he got out and threw his empty cup at the guy. He confirms he absolutely heard him use the n-word.

James Harden is officially the greatest boozed up spokesman in sports history after making an amazing pitch for Adidas and disavowing Nike ... while spilling out of a club at 2 AM.

Here's Shaq showing that no matter how bad he does something ... it's still pretty flippin' awesome.

The big fella teamed up with Randall Park -- star of ABC's "Fresh Off The Boat" -- and busted out a rendition of Katy Perry's "Firework." Shaq was shooting a cameo on the sitcom, and couldn't resist doing a reenactment of Randall's scene from "The Interview."

We'll refresh your memory, since almost no one saw the movie ... Randall played Kim Jong-un and sang the hit song with James Franco.

Check it out ... Shaq's vocal tour de force is at least as good as Franco's.

James Harden went and bit the hand that's feeding him $200 million -- and now Adidas is pissed.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Harden was spotted wearing Nike Air Jordans as he left a movie theater with GF Khloe Kardashian -- even though he just signed that sweet deal to endorse Adidas.

Make no mistake ... Adidas expects a change. The company's North American pres told ESPN, Harden wearing their brand off the court as well is "part of the deal."

The Beard's deal kicks in on Oct. 1 ... so he's got 15 more days to enjoy his Jordans. After that, he better hide those suckers away for 13 years.

Giants fans looking for a boost, look no further than this video of Jason Pierre-Paul -- ON HIS GRIND, in the gym, and apparently ... ready to bounce back from his horrific hand injury.

Rev. Run's daughter Angela Simmons is about to really make it BIG -- her new Harlem Globetrotters anniversary uniforms are debuting at Fashion Week, and TMZ Sports got a first look.

Our spies backstage in NYC spotted Angela's hard work on the backs of a few players -- Thunder Law, Smooth Staples, and Cheese Chisholm -- as they prepped for the catwalk Tuesday evening.

Angela's design will make its debut on the hardwood during the Globetrotters' upcoming season -- the 90th for the legends.

Angela tells us her goal with the new look was to honor the team's history. Translation: lots of red, white, blue ... and stars.

Fashion Week bonus for the 'trotters? 2 words -- SUPERMODEL ACCESS.

One little U.S. Open loss isn't gonna break Serena Williams and Drake -- they went extremely public with their relationship at her fashion show in NYC.

The PDA went down right after Serena's Fashion Week event ... and not only did they share a kiss on camera -- his lips to her hand -- but she also used a bunch of his songs during the show.

Here's the thing though, you really gotta see how these 2 are staring into each other's eyes backstage.

Justin Hunter's off the hook for a MASSIVE bar brawl back in July ... 'cause a Virginia judge found the Tennessee Titans wide receiver not guilty ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Hunter was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery after allegedly breaking a man's jaw at a Virginia Beach bar over July 4th weekend ... hospitalizing the victim for two days.

The case went before a judge Tuesday ... and after only 4 hours, Hunter was found not guilty.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office told us they disagree with the finding, but respect the ruling.

"It is our belief we had sufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt."

A pack of vicious and cowardly 49ers fans bashed in a Vikings fan's face during a chaotic melee outside the Monday night game, and if not for one brave security guard ... the Vikes fan might be dead.

Andre Berto's throwing a fresh jab at Floyd Mayweather Jr., and also getting a little too candid (and insensitive, arguably) about his pal Chris Brown's lethal hands.

Russell Wilson needs a new game plan when it comes to Ciara and abstinence -- at least that's how future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez sees it.

We asked Tony about Seahawks fans blaming their opening weekend loss on Russell's relationship with Ciara. TG's not so fast to buy into that whole Drake-Serena Williams theory, but he thinks there might be something to the lack-of-sex theory.

Check out Tony's take on laying off getting laid. He cops to trying abstinence during his playing days -- but says, like most things ... it's best in small doses.

Justin Bieber had to square off with a ringside security guard just so he could get to his pal Floyd Mayweather Jr. to celebrate his victory.

The video is kinda bizarre ... since everyone knows Justin and Floyd are as tight as can be -- but one security guard apparently missed Bieber walking ... INTO THE RING with the champ.

Witnesses tell us Justin was actually in the ring until police politely asked him to step out during post-fight ceremonies. The video begins as Bieber tries to get back in, only to have the guard stand his ground and bark ..."You wanna be escorted out in handcuffs, young man?"

The NFL season is officially in full swing ... and although half of the league is already considered losers -- 100% of you will feel like winners after flipping through these sexy cheerleader photos!

Warren Sapp is not going to jail for a probation violation in his prostitution case -- as prosecutors had requested ... and instead, the charges have been dropped ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It's a battle for the birds!

In anticipation of tonight's big Monday night game we're pinning the Atlanta Falcons' mascot Freddie photographed here ruffling some feathers (left) against the Philadelphia Eagles' mascot Swoop seen here flying under the radar before a big game (right).

We gotta ask...

Nick Diaz might never step in the Octagon again -- the UFC fighter just got slapped with a 5 year suspension for failing a drug test.

The Nevada Athletic Commission handed down the suspension, and also a $150k fine. He failed the test -- reportedly for marijuana -- earlier this year after his fight Anderson Silva in UFC 183.

Diaz will be 36 when the suspension ends, which would certainly make it difficult for him to make a comeback.
