Kirk Cousins is turning his biggest NFL moment into a profitable moment ... selling, "You Like That?!" shirts ... but it's all for a good cause.

After the pumped up Washington Redskins QB shouted those 3 words at the media following his comeback victory over the Bucs this weekend, the video went crazy viral.

Now, as our friends at BSO pointed out ... Cousins is getting in on the action -- with $23 shirts to memorialize the moment.

Cousins says proceeds will benefit the International Justice Mission to support ending violence and oppression of the poor worldwide.

More good news for the kid who got his souvenir ball jacked at the Cards vs. Ravens game ... he already got a new ball and a tour of the field ... and now he's got the chance to meet Chris Johnson!!

This all started when Chris gave 12-year-old Easton Wiggins the ball from his 1st quarter TD Monday night ... some jerk snatched the rock away, turning a dope moment into a total bummer.

Enter Montel Williams (the famous talk show host) who heard about the whole thing via Twitter and used his social media klout to bring the issue to the Cardinals organization ... which got Easton a new ball, and a post game field pass.

But they ain't stopping there ... we spoke with Cards VP of Media Relations Mark Dalton and he says they want to do EVEN MORE for Easton ... including allowing him to come to a practice and meet CJ2k in the flesh!!

“We would be happy to find a way to connect the two parties, Montel and Easton as well as Chris Johnson. Whether it’s coming to a game or practice, whatever is possible."

"Here he was, trying to do something really nice for the young fan and then all this unfortunately happened. When it’s all said and done, Easton ended up better off than if he would’ve just gotten the original touchdown ball."

Stay tuned ...

It's official ... boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. is now a full Russian citizen -- with a passport to prove it.

Roy had personally asked Vladimir Putin to get him citizenship back in August so he could do more business in Russia ... business that includes boxing and promoting other fights.

Putin obliged ... and on Tuesday, Jones Jr. got his passport -- which he flaunted around Moscow while draped in a Russian flag. He thanks Putin for making it happen.

But Jones says he still bleeds red, white and blue and hopes the move will unite his two favorite countries -- "I'm happy to bring the U.S. and Russia together in the ring."

Here's Sports Illustrated model Samantha Hoopes ordering some juice at Earth Bar in West Hollywood ... with her entire perfectly sculpted ass hanging out of her shorts.

Hoopes is adamant she was properly clothed -- "No I'm not in my underwear it's call motivation to work out & I just came from working out #donthatemyassismallenoughtoweartheseshorts."

Kobe Bryant says he's blown away by Lamar Odom's recovery -- calling his progress "remarkable" ... and says it reminds him there's more to life than basketball.

The NFL has contacted the Avon Police Department as part of its investigation into the Johnny Manziel domestic violence investigation ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with Chief Bosley of the Avon Police Department who tells us ... "We have been in contact with the NFL." Bosley says the NFL initiated the contact.

As for what investigators asked for ... Bosley says, "I wouldn't want to give details about the communication because although it is not a criminal investigation, I wouldn't want to compromise what they are doing."

As we previously reported, Manziel's girlfriend Colleen Crowley told cops Johnny hit her a "couple times" during an October 12th incident near Cleveland.

Despite an injury to her arm, cops did not arrest Manziel claiming there was "not enough to pursue prosecution."

Alek Skarlatos -- one of the heroes who took down a gunman on a Paris-bound train this summer -- has been invited to Game 3 of the World Series to be honored by Major League Baseball.

TMZ Sports has learned ... MLB reached out to Skarlatos earlier this month and he's all about it! One source close to the hero says he considers it a "once in a lifetime opportunity."

We're told MLB plans to cover the cost of the fight to NYC for the game. No word if he'll be honored before or during Game 3 -- we're told both sides are still finalizing the plans.

Pretty awesome.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bernard Pierce pled GUILTY to DUI stemming from a March arrest ... and was hit with 1 year probation ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 25-year-old was pulled over on March 18th in Baltimore County, Maryland for speeding and during the stop, cops say the noticed he was wasted ... and arrested him for DUI, DWI and 2 speeding charges.

According to the police report, Pierce admitted to having 3 shots of Jack Daniels before he got behind the wheel.

But today, Pierce struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pled guilty to 1 count of DUI -- and in exchange, everything else was dropped.

Pierce was facing up to 1 year behind bars -- but instead got 1 year probation with mandatory monthly drug testing.

Ex-MLB star Lenny Dykstra says he spent $500,000 to hire private investigators to spy on MLB umpires and used their secrets -- including affairs and gay sex -- as leverage to get calls during games.

Dykstra just spilled his guts on "The Herd" with Colin Cowherd on FS1 ... saying he would essentially threaten the umpires to go public with the information unless he got favorable calls.

"Their blood's just as red as ours," Dykstra said ... "Some of them like women, some of them like men, some of them gamble ... some of them do whatever."

Dykstra says the strategy was effective -- with umpires often shrinking the strike zone for him when he was at bat in the early '90s.

"Its wasn't a coincidence that I led the league in walks the next few years, was it?"

Dykstra did in fact lead the league in walks in 1993.

Lamar Odom could be staring down criminal charges soon -- his case is about to be turned over to the D.A., and the Sheriff suggests he should be prosecuted for felony drug use.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Nye County Sheriff's Department will send Lamar's blood test to the District Attorney on Tuesday. The felony charge would be for using cocaine while at the Love Ranch South.

Even Barack Obama is distancing himself from Hope Solo ... with the President of the United States refusing to acknowledge the goalie at a ceremony Tuesday honoring the U.S. Women's team.

Lamar Odom had a visitor Monday night ... a guy who claimed to be Lamar's assistant, insisting Lamar had summoned him ... but hospital officials smelled a rat.

Our sources tell us the guy arrived around 11 PM and got on Lamar's floor when security stopped him. He said Lamar had called him and he came down from Vegas because Odom was insistent on seeing him.

Our sources say the guy has a history with Lamar and Odom's people believe he facilitated Lamar's drug use. The 2 men lived together in Vegas at some point. We're told Lamar's management fired the guy the day Lamar went into the hospital.

Security was unbending and refused to let the man in. There was yelling and "a big scene" before he was escorted out.

Khloe was not at the hospital when it went down.

Vin Diesel's daughter Hania already has the kick ass look nailed down ... and she's only 7.

Vin's got Hania training with champ UFC fighter Ronda Rousey, and had her refuel with some fancy Chinese food Monday night on a father/daughter date at Mr Chow in Bev Hills.

Another day, another ridiculously expensive purchase ... this time, Floyd Mayweather dropped $3.5 mil on a lightning fast Bugatti ... putting his car collection over $19 million.

First Tom Brady (kinda) ... now another sports legend is backing Donald Trump -- Mike Tyson ... who says he's sick and tired of the way the country has been run ... "so now let's try something new."

Tyson appeared on HuffPost Live Monday and when asked if he was serious about backing Trump replied, "Yeah, hell yeah. Big time."

Iron Mike says he's tired of the media treating the Trump campaign as a joke -- and says he's part of the majority that passionately wants a change in the White House.

"We tried Obama, right? Time for a change so we got change. So now let's try something new. Let's run America like a business, where no colors matter. Whoever can do the job, gets the job."

"He's the man right now."

When asked what he thought about his comments about Mexicans being rapists and criminals, Tyson responded, "It was really crude, and he needs somebody to work with him on how to deliver his messages and stuff ... but as far as what he did, he's an average guy like everybody else. He needs time to grow too. I don't think he thinks of Latinos in that way."

The hot tub fun is over for UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen ... school officials tell TMZ Sports it's been REMOVED from his dorm room after photos of the party pool went viral.

We spoke with UCLA Associate Media Director, Ricardo Vazquez, who tells us, "We have been told that the hot tub has been removed from his room. It’s gone."

Vazquez says the tub violated the UCLA residential housing policy which states, "Furnishings which are not officially designated as part of a residential room’s accessories may not be moved into any resident’s room at any time."

Sucks for Rosen ... dude seemed to be putting the tub to good use.
