Ex-NBA Player Arrested for 3rd Time Allegedly Pushed Cops
More trouble for ex-college basketball star Jeff Adrien -- he was arrested for the 3rd time in 2 months after cops say he tried to kick a police officer ... TMZ Sports has learned.
30-year-old Adrien -- who was a stud at UConn and played 5 seasons in the NBA -- was busted in Brooklyn on January 13th after cops say they tried to stop him for a routine traffic violation but he refused to comply.
What ensued was madness ... according to cops, Adrien lost his cool and pushed the arresting officers and "repeatedly kicked" at them.
Eventually, cops took him into custody -- and he was charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and operating a vehicle without safety belts.
It's just the latest problem for Adrien -- who was arrested for allegedly attacking a security guard at the Trump Soho on January 10th, and back in December he was popped in L.A. for allegedly stealing a car at a valet stand.
He's due in court for the new case in July.

Titus Young Ex-NFL Star Sued for Battery ... 'Deep Wounds to Head'
Ex-NFL wide receiver Titus Young ducked out of a court-ordered treatment center and beat a guy so badly, the dude was hospitalized with brutal injuries ... this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.
We broke the story, the former Detroit Lions star was arrested for allegedly attacking a guy in L.A. on January 30th. Now, the alleged victim has fired back with a suit, blaming Young's parents for not turning their son into cops before the incident.
FYI, Young was ordered to spend 12 months in a treatment facility after pleading no contest to felony battery back in May for a separate incident.
But according to the suit, Young left and went to his parents home -- a violation of the terms of his deal.
"The Youngs knew both that Titus Young was in violation of the terms of his probation and that he had extremely violent tendencies fueled by a history of illegal drug use," the accuser states in the suit.
The man claims while staying at the home, Young "ambushed" his neighbor with a "hard object" and busted the guy wide open -- causing "deep wounds to his head and eyes."
He also says he may suffer blindness as a result of the attack.
He's suing Titus and Young's parents for unspecified damages.

Joseph Randle Not Giving Up On NFL Career ... I'm Too Talented to Ignore
Joseph Randle seems intent on making an NFL comeback -- despite all of his legal issues -- claiming he's just too damn talented for teams to ignore.
The former Dallas Cowboys starting running back has been arrested twice since he was cut by Dallas back in November ... and during his last arrest, predicted that his NFL career was over.
But now Randle appears to be reversing course.
When a fan tweeted to Randle that he hopes his career wasn't over -- the RB replied, "I would hope not with an average like mine. And hands like these with burst like this."
He then added, "I just want to be the man you can count on over and over and over again to do his job."
When people started tweeting about his arrests and pending legal issues (underwear theft, fighting cops and speeding warrant) -- Randle replied, "People love bringing up old stuff."
Randle is only 24 years old and extremely talented ... but he's going to have to prove he's a changed man before any NFL team gives him a second chance in the league.

Ferrer says she custom ordered a special French fabric called "French Metallic Opalescent Cloque" from NYC and had it rushed over Thursday night.
We're told there are NO sequins or bedazzling -- the shimmer is from the special fabric.
Ferrer says she added a special Super Bowl MVP patch inside as a special touch.
In the end, the jacket was a hit -- and cost more than $1,300 to make -- but you can't put a price on swag (especially when you're expected to sign a HUGE contract in the very near future)!
