For those about to rock Dodger Stadium -- know that the team's not about to let AC/DC headbangers screw up their run at the World Series by tearing up the field during Monday's show.

The Aussie rockers already left their mark on the Cubs' Wrigley Field. Manager Joe Maddon complained his infield got trashed after AC/DC's concert. So, with the band coming to L.A. ... a Dodger rep tells TMZ Sports they're taking no chances.

Instead of copying the Cubs -- who actually removed their turf and laid it down again -- the Blue Crew will leave the field as is. Their solution will be a special tarp placed over the entire playing surface.

We're told it worked like a charm when Sir Paul McCartney played the stadium last year ... so, team officials aren't too worried about AC/DC's fans.

The only thing exciting to come out of the Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies baseball game on Sunday afternoon was when Jonathan Papelbon attacked his teammate Bryce Harper in the dugout.

Lindsay Kay Hayward says a guy with a gun has made her life miserable and she needs a judge to protect her from harassment and harm.

Lindsay -- the nearly 7 footer on TLC's "My Giant Life" -- claims her manager has guns, practices shooting them and has "joked that the only way to 'put an Amazon down' is to shoot them."

The former WWE professional wrestler says it's not just about her safety ... she says former manager Brad Konia is on a campaign to destroy her personally and professionally. She says Konia has contacted her employers and potential employers and slandered her. She says he's done the same on her website.

She humble brags a bit, telling the judge she's especially worried Konia will sully her upcoming guest spot on "Grey's Anatomy."

For his part ... Brad tells TMZ he's never threatened to harm Lindsay ... not even jokingly. He believes Lindsay's gripes stem from an ongoing lawsuit he filed against her over money.

The judge didn't buy the emergency and rejected Lindsay's petition for a temporary restraining order.

Not like Odell Beckham Jr. needs more ways to prove he's swag, but he went and got one anyway ... in the form of a $10,000 custom rug!

TMZ Sports has learned OBJ was looking to score a centerpiece for the game room in his crib ... y'know, something to tie it together -- and hit up Keith Collins, rug maker extraordinaire. Keith tells us OBJ only had a few requirements ... it had to be red and black with his name and number.

Collins says the piece took more than 3 months to complete, but OBJ was so impressed with the end result ... he's already talking about an epic sequel: a tapestry of "the catch" from last season.

Collins is used to dealing with baller clients -- he's made rugs and tapestries for the likes of Lebron James, Floyd Mayweather, and even Michael Jackson.

The 'Real Housewives' shows have a big problem ... they build their seasons around romances that blow up before the shows air.

Porsha Williams is the latest R.H. star who happily filmed burgeoning love that flamed out. She hooked up with Buffalo Bills star Duke Williams and they cavorted for season 6 shows, but when the cameras stopped rolling they stopped too, only after a few months of dating.

The problem ... viewers know the relationship is history, so the storyline doesn't ring true.

Porsha doesn't have a problem scoring a touchdown on the playing field ... she just can't hold out for the win.

It also happened on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," when Brandi Glanville dated a real estate agent but they were dunzo before the shows aired.

It might be illegal to use J.A.R.V.I.S. in the NFL, but Bengals star Mohamed Sanu is still reppin' the Avengers leader (sorry, Cap) by rocking a pair of Iron Man inspired cleats to take on the Ravens Sunday.

Sanu is a HUGE comic book fan (probably figured that out by now) and his new kicks took over eight hours to create. They have special S.H.I.E.L.D. issued repulsor beams and missile detection technology. Kidding. They're just painted red-orange and gold ... but it works for him.

So much for Caitlyn Jenner automatically having an unfair advantage at golf ... she got her ass whipped by another chick.

Caitlyn and 22-year-old professional golfer Danielle Kang were brutalizing balls at Sherwood Country Club, when they engaged in a Closest-to-the-Pin Challenge, and guess who won?

And guess who expressed her extreme displeasure?

Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder wants to be the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- and already has a great a record, a title belt, and now he also has a baller exotic car to rival some of Floyd's.

Wilder's defending his PBC Heavyweight title Saturday night in Vegas, and sources close to the champ tell TMZ Sports he'll have a great prize waiting for him at home -- a brand new Lambo Aventador.

We're told Wilder dropped a grip of cash -- $560,000 to be precise -- on the 2015 whip, which retails for a paltry $398k. Wilder jacked up his price with some Alabama custom touches, like wrapping it in gator skin! Relax, it's not real gator ... just a print.

Wilder, known as the Bronze Bomber, also got Michael Koss at Exotic Euro Cars to slap on a coat of bronze. We're told Deontay bragged to Koss, he would knock out his Saturday night opponent, Johann Duhaupas.

Braves slugger Hector Olivera just came to America a year ago, but he's clearly exercising his freedom of swag ... dropping $50k to pimp out his 2016 Maybach.

Hector signed a 6 year, $62 million deal earlier this year, and dropped a chunk on the ride. But standard features weren't enough. He went to the Auto Firm in Miami to make it truly special.

Auto Firm boss, Alex Vega, says he added red and black Avorza "Honeycomb" leather, AV9 custom 23 inch wheels, plus state-of-the-art navigation and rear entertainment systems.

FYI -- the Maybach set Hector back $200k, so there's only one thing we can say about spending an extra $50k just to make it your own ...

Michael Sam is making the right moves to get another shot at making it in the NFL, but it'll take divine intervention for him to beat Tim Tebow back to the league ... according to ex-player Shawne Merriman.

Merriman says he's talked to Sam about his effort to get on an NFL roster -- and thinks firing his publicist is a good FIRST move. Still, he says Sam has one major hurdle before he can convince a team to call ... something Tebow is making a habit of doing.

Ray McDonald was back in court Friday, pleading not guilty in his rape case.

The former 49ers lineman entered his plea in a Santa Clara County courtroom. McDonald and ex-teammate Ahmad Brooks were charged earlier this month for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman back in 2014.

As we reported ... the woman claims she fell unconscious in McDonald's home before he raped her. She's accusing Brooks of groping, and says there's surveillance video of the incidents.

Steven Tyler loves him some New England Patriots and Tom Brady, but he also loves butt ass naked Gisele Bundchen -- soooo ... something's gotta give.

The D.A. for the Patrick Kane rape investigation says the alleged victim's lawyer was flat out lying and creating a "circus" when he claimed the rape kit was stolen from police custody.

As TMZ Sports reported ... the lawyer for the alleged victim held a huge news conference to accuse someone of tampering with his client's rape kit, and thereby compromising the case.

Well, D.A. Frank Sedita III is now unloading on the attorney ... who said the rape kit was in a bag left at the victim's mother's house. Sedita blasted the whole story as false, and brought visuals as back up. You gotta see how he went off on a reporter who insinuated his office was somehow to blame.

Kyrie Irving's beauty queen baby mama says her relationship with the NBA star is ICE COLD -- claiming he left her in the dust after he knocked her up ... though Kyrie says that's BS.

We broke the story ... the Cleveland Cavaliers star filed legal docs in Texas requesting a paternity test to prove he's the dad to Andrea Wilson's unborn child so he can step up when it comes to child support. He says he wants to be an involved dad.

But we spoke with Wilson -- 2010 Miss Texas United States -- who says Kyrie's off to a bad start.

"Kyrie has had no participation. He is only seeking custody to look good for the press."

"I’ve paid for and handled everything on my own without ANY support from him. I have no connection with him nor do I seek any connection to him."

Sources close to Kyrie tell us he doesn't want a war -- and hopes to work out an amicable solution so he can focus on being a parent.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter could lose way more than his job -- Swiss authorities are picking up where the FBI left off ... literally digging into Blatter's office to investigate rampant corruption.

Blatter has been accused of criminal mismanagement, misappropriation and making "disloyal payments." Translation: Sepp was allegedly shelling out bribes to other soccer officials, partly to secure TV deals.

Swiss officials said they searched Sepp's office in Zurich on Friday and seized data.

The new criminal investigation comes after the FBI's sting operation in May, which lead to the arrests of 7 FIFA officials. Blatter was untouched in that probe, but no such luck this time around.
