Johnny Manziel just lashed out at a reporter -- calling the guy a "p***y" for allegedly posting a photo of the QB at an Ohio bar.

But the reporter says Johnny is misdirecting his anger ... and THREATENED to catch him in the streets.

Manziel went after sports radio reporter Will Burge -- who had tweeted a pic of Manziel along with the caption, "2 yrs ago he was a 1st rd pick...now hes unemployed watching it at a bar in Columbus b4 the Bieber concert #Manziel."

Manziel -- clearly under the impression Burge took the photo -- responded, "Should have just said it to my face instead of sitting across from us tweeting away. P***y."

Burge fired back with a promise -- "I wasn't there tough guy. But we'll see each other DT Cle soon enough."

Manziel also addressed his other critics -- essentially saying he knows he's made mistakes ... but he is who he is and it doesn't seem like he cares about changing.

"You guys act like what I'm doing is something new. I've been the same person, doing the same things since it all started."

He asked for Cam Newton, he GOT Cam Newton!!

10-year-old Noah had the best weekend EVER -- when his favorite NFL player took him and 3 other kids on a dream come true weekend in Charlotte earlier this month ... complete with bowling, basketball and of course, DABBING!

The end is near for Charles "Peanut" Tillman and he knows it -- but the longtime NFL star says he's already got plans after his football career is over ... UBER DRIVER!!

The former Panthers and Bears cornerback is currently a free agent ... though he's said he wants to come back and play another year.

So, when we saw him out in Chicago Thursday, we had to ask what his 2nd life plans were -- and that's when he started raving about Uber!

"You can work your own hours!"

Hey, it's not a bad career choice ... just ask Richard Sherman.

Nebraska has a new return man ... or, at least they did for 5 minutes ... when "Workaholics" star Adam DeVine suited up and got on the field at Memorial Stadium and TOOK ONE TO THE HOUSE!!

DeVine -- who grew up in Nebraska -- was at the university promoting his new movie, "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" when he got to spend some time with Cornhuskers football coach Mike Riley.

DeVine not only got a tour of the football facility -- and met some players in the gym -- but got an actual Nebraska uniform ... and got to catch some balls from the punt machine.

Props to DeVine for actually CATCHING the ball ... but your celebration needs work.

Sometimes, 21-year-olds aren't as stupid when it comes to money as you'd think ...

Here's the newest Tennessee Titan, Jack Conklin -- the 8th overall pick in the draft -- telling us how he plans to STAY wealthy now that he got wealthy.

Aroldis Chapman now bleeds red, white and blue ... even though he kinda already did (see: Cuba's flag) ... because the Cuban-born pitcher is now a full-fledged U.S. citizen.

The NY Yankees fireballer -- nicknamed the "Cuban Missle" -- defected from Cuba (by way of the Netherlands) back in 2009 ... and has made it his mission to get full citizenship.

Well, Friday it finally happened ... and the 28-year-old proudly announced it on social media.

"Today is a very important day for me and I want to share it with all of you," Chapman wrote.

The Running Man challenge has been Gronk'd -- with all 5 Gronkowski brothers coming together in a gym (where else?) ... to bust out the dance moves.

FYI -- the Running Man Challenge has taken over social media ... with stars like Kyrie Irving, Justise Winslow and scores of college hoops players dancing along to "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's.

Now, the Gronks have entered the mix.

The best part ... when one of the bros slips and falls during a box jump. Nice recovery though.

Another NFL star says his social media account has been HACKED -- with Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. saying someone infiltrated his Instagram to post a potentially damaging photo.

Harris -- a 2-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ -- went to Twitter and wrote, "Someone hacking IGs someone just tried me smh."

We didn't see the photo ourselves -- but we're told the pic appeared to show Harris smoking a rolled cigarette.

Unclear if there's a connection between the Harris hack and the Laremy Tunsil incident.

Fred Taylor says he can save Laremy Tunsil ... with the ex-Jacksonville Jaguars running back telling TMZ Sports he wants to mentor the embattled NFL rookie so he doesn't become the next Manziel.

Taylor spent 10 years with the Jags -- and was inducted into the team's ring of honor ... and after the Tunsil drama at the draft Thursday night, he told us he wants to help the kid.

"I just reached out to some of my people to see if they knew him," Taylor told us ... "I'd like to mentor him. I'm 10 minutes from the Dolphins facility."

Taylor said playing South Beach can be tough for young players -- but he thinks with the right guidance, Tunsil can be an All-Pro in 2 years.

Right after he was taken FIRST in the NFL draft, all Jared Goff wanted to do was go back to his hotel and chill ... but he couldn't ... 'cause he was locked out.

Don't worry, Goff .... you're rich and famous now.

Hours after he was drafted by the Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott had a serious off-the-field issue to address in Ohio ... sending his lawyer to plead NOT GUILTY in his court case stemming from a 2015 car crash.

As we previously reported, Elliott says he hydroplaned and lost control of his car around 1:30 PM on Dec. 27th ... slamming into another vehicle which was carrying 2 people. One of the passengers suffered a minor injury.

When cops arrived to the scene, officials say they discovered Elliott had been driving on a suspended license.

He was ultimately cited for driving under suspension, driving without a license and failure to control his vehicle.

Elliott was arraigned Friday morning -- but did not appear in court. He sent a lawyer in his place to plead not guilty to all of the charges.

Johnny Manziel drowned his NFL draft night sorrows in Fireball Thursday night ... ordering up 300 SHOTS at an Ohio bar for a few hundred of his not so closest friends ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

Two years after he was selected in the 1st round ... the unemployed QB hit up Dahlia Bar and Lounge in Columbus right after the 1st round of the '16 draft wrapped up.

You can see in the video Johnny was in a generous mood ... buying 300 shots of whiskey and some Miller Lites for the crowd.

We're told Johnny spent the night hanging out in the DJ booth with Justin Bieber's tour DJ ... JB had a concert in Columbus on Thursday, but was a no-show at the bar.

Earlier in the day, Manziel was reportedly hangin' at ANOTHER Columbus bar ... watching the draft while sporting a white headband -- the same headband he was rocking later that night.

FYI, the Browns drafted a WR last night ... if only they had a QB to throw him the ball.

The person who hacked Laremy Tunsil right before the NFL Draft -- and posted video of the football player hitting a gas mask bong -- is pure evil ... so says Laremy's ex-teammate Robert Nkemdiche.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez is ferociously disputing a lawsuit -- in which the 24-year-old is accused of giving a woman non-life threatening STDs ... after swearing he was clean.

The woman behind the suit, filed in district court in Miami, claims she began a romantic relationship with Martinez in 2012 -- and the two had an on-and-off relationship for years.

According to the suit, the two reconnected last year -- and began having sex again on Dec. 16th. Two days later, the woman claims she began to feel ill and later tested positive for multiple STDs.

The woman claims she had grilled Martinez about his sexual health before they hooked up and he "swore to God that he was not infected with any sexually transmitted disease."

Soon after the woman informed Martinez about her condition, he allegedly bolted for the Dominican Republic and never called her back.

Now, she's suing him for battery, negligent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, fraud and more ... and she's demanding more than $1.5 million in damages.

We spoke with Martinez's attorney Ruben Scolavino who tells us Carlos adamantly denies the allegations.

Porn legend Jenna Jameson is a serious 'Mean Girl' ... according to Tito Ortiz's current gf, who says Jenna's cyberbullying her so hard she needs a restraining order.

Ex-UFC octagon girl Amber Miller says Jenna stirred up her social media minions to attack her during a "self-proclaimed roast" of Amber. In docs, Amber says Jenna told her thousands of followers to "go after" Amber and they responded.

Amber says she's been flooded with death wishes and taunts from team Jenna, and claims Jenna threatened to throw acid on her face -- which is why she filed a request for a restraining order.

Amber says the harassment's been going on ever since she started dating ex-UFC star Tito ... who, of course, has 2 kids with Jenna.

Jenna now has to stay 100 yards away from Amber -- and stop all forms of harassment.

Laremy Tunsil's stepfather tells TMZ Sports ... he is NOT the person who hacked the football star's Twitter account and published a video of Laremy hitting a bong.

FYI -- the video, showing Laremy hitting a gas mask bong, was released on Laremy's own page just as the NFL Draft started. Laremy was expected to be a top 10 pick. Tunsil's agent has said he was hacked.

Since Laremy is currently locked in a nasty legal war with his stepfather Lindsey Miller -- with the two sides filing domestic violence charges against each other last year -- most people began pointing the finger at him.

But Miller tells us he absolutely denies having ANY involvement in the video leak.

"I don't know nothing about no video. I'm not even watching the draft."

Miller says he's upset about being accused -- and adds, "I was a Red Cross volunteer of the year. I would never do anything like this."
