Published | Updated

Beware NBA owners ... Knicks headman James Dolan might just dominate the whole lot of you ... if you ever meet him on the bowling lanes, 'cause it turns out Dolan is one hell of a roller.

Dolan was out at the Gardens of Dream bowling event in NYC when we asked him what his skills are like in the realm of strikes and gutterballs.

Check out the clip -- Dolan says he's got more skills than you might think ... and was actually on his college bowling team where he had an average of about 160 ... not bad at all.

Roy Munson would be proud.

Conor McGregor Hints at Rematch with Nate Diaz 'I'll See You Again'

Published | Updated

Conor McGregor is summing up his loss to Nate Diaz in two words -- "Sh*t happens."

The Notorious CM took to social media after his bruising defeat at UFC 196 -- and hinted that he wants a rematch with the man who beat him up.

"Nate I will see you again."

He also took the opportunity to compare UFC fighters Jose Aldo and Rafael Dos Anjos to female genitalia:

"Aldo you are a p*ssy. Dos anjos you are a p*ssy. When the history books are written, I showed up. You showed up on Twitter."

Good news for fight fans ... the loss didn't seem to affect his confidence one bit.

Here's the statement in full:

"I stormed in and put it all on the line. I took a shot and missed. I will never apologize for taking a shot. Sh*t happens."

"I'll take this loss like a man. I will not shy away from it. I will not change who I am. If another champion goes up 2 weights let me know. If your tired of me talking money, take a nap. I'll still be here when you wake up with the highest PPV and the gate. Still talking multi 7's."

"Thank you to the true support and f*ck the hate that came out of the woodwork. I love it all. Its still steak for breakfast. I've been here many times in my life in some form or another. I'll eat it all and come back stronger."

"Aldo you are a p*ssy. Dos anjos you are a p*ssy. When the history books are written, I showed up. You showed up on Twitter.To the fans! Never ever shy away from challenges. Never run from adversity. Face yourself head on. Nate I will see you again."

Joseph Randle ARRESTED AGAIN 6th Time in 17 Months

Published | Updated

Ex-Cowboys running back Joseph Randle was arrested in Kansas early Sunday morning ... his 6th arrest in 17 months.

The 24-year-old was taken into custody for failing to appear in court stemming from a previous legal matter. His bail has been set at $150,000.

Randle's life has been in a sad downward spiral over the past year-and-a-half -- he's been arrested for stealing underwear, fighting in a casino and allegedly hitting people with his car.

Randle had serious potential as an NFL player -- but barring some spectacular turnaround, seems his football days are over.

O.J. Simpson Fear DNA Tests Will Come Up Dry

Published | Updated

The knife buried on O.J. Simpson's former Rockingham estate may hold lots of secrets, but unlocking them may be next to impossible ... with one glimmer of hope.

We spoke with a number of forensic experts who say a knife secreted underground for 4 years is likely to become contaminated by bacteria, chemicals and various microorganisms in the dirt, making it extremely difficult to get meaningful results in DNA tests.

The experts add the natural elements pose an additional, significant obstacle to DNA tests.

Here's the glimmer of hope. We're told if the 5" buck knife was folded when it was buried, the blade might be sufficiently protected to net a DNA match.

As we reported, LAPD cops privately say they always believe O.J. used a folding buck knife to kill Ron and Nicole, even though testimony in the trial suggested a fixed blade did the job.

The buck knife found by the construction worker in 2002 and kept for years by a cop is currently being tested.

Ronda Rousey At Pro Wrestling Match ... During Holly Holm Loss

Published | Updated

Ronda Rousey was ringside as Holly Holm lost Saturday night .. but not in Vegas -- she was at a pro wrestling match in L.A. ... and was HAPPY after her rival tapped out.

The guys at ProWrestlingSheet.com snapped this pic of Ronda at PWG All Star Weekend 12 in Reseda, CA -- intensely focusing on her cell phone at the same time Holly was fighting Miesha Tate at UFC 196.

(Ronda is wearing the black shirt and sitting down)

Unclear exactly what Ronda was looking at ... but c'mon.

After the Holm fight was over we're told she turned her attention back to wrestling -- and was "happy, smiling and enjoying herself."

... maybe because she's beaten the person who now holds her belt both times they've fought.

Johnny Manziel Trust In The Lord ... Disick

Published | Updated

Johnny Manziel and Scott Disick make an odd couple ... and that they were Friday night.

Manziel and Disick were spotted together at 1 OAK Las Vegas, and to say they're dressed eerily similar would be an understatement.

We're told the two showed up together just after midnight with a big group and sat in the VIP section. Neither is a stranger to the party scene, so we're guessing they got a long just fine.

Only one question remains ... after a few drinks ... who throws the better spiral?

O.J. Simpson Murder Case Buck Knife Could Produce Fatal Wounds

Published | Updated

The knife found buried on O.J. Simpson's former estate was more than capable of inflicting the mortal wounds on Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman ... so says the man who examined the wounds of the victims.

Dr. Irwin Golden, who served as the Deputy Medical Examiner, testified in the O.J. Simpson case and performed both autopsies, tells TMZ the folding buck knife could have severely cut both victims. Nicole was brutally attacked with a deep neck wound -- 2 1/2 inches deep and 5 1/2 inches across -- and Golden says a 4" blade could have done the deed. We broke the story ... the knife in question has a 5" blade.

Sources connected with the 1994 investigation and others involved in the evaluation of the knife tell us there was always a wide belief among LAPD cops that Simpson used a buck knife.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker found the knife buried on the perimeter of the property in 2002, gave it to a retired LAPD cop who never turned it in, instead taking it home and putting it in his tool box. The cop claims he alerted LAPD when he got it, but they expressed no interest.

Dr. Golden cautioned if the murder weapon was a buck knife it had to be "heavy." A knife expert tells us back in '94 buck knives were made with heavy American-made steel.

The knife is being tested for fingerprints and hair. Next week it goes to the serology unit for DNA testing.

O.J. Simpson Cop with the Knife Straight Shooter, Clean Record

Published | Updated

The LAPD cop at the center of the O.J. Simpson knife mystery is a retired, 25-year veteran of the LAPD.

George Maycott was a motor cop for the LAPD, who retired with a clean record in 1998. Two months after Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered in 1994, Maycott shot and wounded a man who rammed his police car during a chase. Maycott was injured and taken to the hospital.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker at O.J. Simpson's former estate approached him with the 5" buck knife in 2002. Maycott insists he called the West L.A. Division of LAPD and informed them of the knife, but they said the case was closed and expressed no interest, so he took it home.

Maycott is now 70 years old and fully retired. He insists his sudden interest in putting the knife in an engraved frame had nothing to do with the renewed interest in the case because of the series, 'The People v. O.J. Simpson.' He swears he was not trying to profit by selling the weapon.

As for the knife ... Maycott has no opinion on whether it's the murder weapon.
