He JUST got rich -- but Bengals rookie wide receiver Tyler Boyd says he's already got big plans for the millions of dollars he's about to bring in ... starting with a HUGE expensive dinner for his teammates.

Boyd reportedly signed a $4 million contract after being selected in the 2nd round of the NFL Draft -- so, we had to ask ... what's the first big purchase gonna be?

Check out his answer -- his mother is gonna be STOKED!

But then we asked about the most expensive ritual in pro sports -- the rookie hazing dinner.

Shockingly, Boyd says he's already got a plan in place -- and is EXCITED to treat his teammates to one of the finest restaurants in town.

Careful what you wish for ... just ask Jevon Kearse (see video below).

Well, that was quick ...

Jerramy Stevens is no longer a wanted man -- a judge has recalled the arrest warrant for the ex-NFL star after his attorney proved to the court that he HAS been attending an alcohol program.

We broke the story ... court docs show a judge revoked Stevens' probation stemming from a 2015 DUI arrest because he failed to appear at the clerk's office for a progress report hearing to show he's been attending the program.

But Stevens' attorney, Craig Renetzky, tells TMZ Sports ... Stevens was never blowing off the class -- explaining there was a "communication glitch" that has now been resolved.

Before he was trying to bang chicks on a tropical island, one of the bachelors on the new FOX dating show "Coupled" was a college football WR ... who played with DeSean Jackson and Marvin Jones.

Alex Lageman even bragged about days on the Cal Berkeley football team -- where he played mostly as a backup from 2007 to 2010.

When one of the ladies on the island asked about Alex's hand size, he busted out this gem -- "I played receiver in college, so they're big enough to catch balls."

Nice.

He's out of the NFL, but ex-NY Jets safety Kerry Rhodes is still in game day shape -- and flexed his physique this week during some beach football with his actress fiancee.

BTW, Rhodes is engaged to actress Nicky Whelan -- the hot chick Owen Wilson almost banged in "Hall Pass."

Barry Bonds is outraged over a video of several white kids who attend his daughter's fancy Brentwood private school using the n-word while rapping along with a popular song.

The 26-second clip -- posted by Brentwood Students Against Racism -- shows several young white teens singing along to A$AP Ferg's, "Dump Dump" ... which features the lyric, "I f***** your bitch, n****."

The video got to Barry, whose daughter, Aisha, attends Brentwood School ($37,000 a year) -- and he tweeted, "I am sad that i had to see this at my daughters school. #Racism #Fixit #Suspension."

He's not the only one calling for action ... a Change.org petition was launched and already has more than 400 signatures.

Not everyone is on the warpath -- a student who wished to remain anonymous spoke with NBC4 and condemned using the n-word, but said the kids should NOT be punished.

"It's a small segment of the school that is making a big fuss over nothing ... Some of the extreme activists on campus are calling singing along to a rap song a 'hate crime' or 'hate speech' but that is a load of hogwash."

The school has called the lyrics “offensive and inconsistent with our core values."

What would be the best part of your house if it was totally taken over and pimped out by Prince?

That's a question NBA star Carlos Boozer has the answer to ... 'cause he famously rented a house to the purple one back in the day ... a house Prince famously -- or infamously -- did a once over on.

Carlos ended up paying out the wazoo to restore the crib to a dwelling suited for normal human beings (rich ones) but we ask him ... what was the best part of the Prince cave?

He answered ... and we gotta say, it makes sense.

Von Miller continued his baller diamond binge ... this time, dropping $25k on an iced out custom Super Bowl MVP ring, complete with 15 carats in diamonds!

It was all part of a $120k shopping spree at the exclusive Avianne & Co. in NYC -- where the Denver Broncos superstar also scooped up a diamond tennis chain and a fancy cross pendant.

But the ring ... damn.

We're told it's comprised of 14 karat rose gold and covered with VS quality diamonds.

The top has the letters MBG -- which we're told stands for Money Bag Gang (Von's crew of close friends).

The side has an image of Texas -- Von's home state.

Von's reportedly expecting to sign a $100 million contract this offseason -- so, why not treat yo'self, right??

Another huge star is calling for Ronda Rousey to fight 'Cyborg' Justino -- this time, it's UFC superstar Paige VanZant who says it's a fight she would LOVE to see.

Cyborg has been calling out Ronda for months -- and even came on the "TMZ Sports" TV show this week and challenged Rousey to "stop hiding behind your pillow" and fight!

VanZant was careful not to take sides -- especially after Ronda confronted her over "crossing her" -- but made it clear the two need to throw down already.

"HELLO AND WELCOME TO LEVI'S STADIUM ... WHERE YOUR SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS .... are being sued by the former stadium announcer guy!"

Yeah, this is happening.

The guy who was the 49ers stadium announcer for 30 YEARS is suing the team -- claiming they fired his ass because he was too old ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The man behind the lawsuit is Bob Sarlatte -- who was hired for the gig back in 1984.

Sarlatte claims he was axed in 2014 -- 2 years after 49ers CEO Jed York began a "campaign to terminate the older senior employees within the 49ers organization."

In his suit, Sarlatte says York had admitted that he wanted to swap out the old fogies with cool young people because "they made a lot of money, they did a lot of cool things before they turned 40 years old, and they don't want to play golf six days a week."

He also claims management openly made disparaging remarks about old people in the office in an attempt to drive them out.

Sarlatte says he was 66 years old at the time he was fired -- and says to make matters worse, he was terminated over the phone.

Even John Cena was hypnotized by his GF Nikki Bella's cleavage during an event in NYC.

The WWE Diva -- with a huge hand from her low cut gown -- managed to make a boring TV industry event worth attending. In a sea of grey and navy blue suits ... Nikki dazzled.

Hope Solo's husband is in a world of trouble -- his probation has been revoked and a warrant has been issued for his arrest stemming from his '15 DUI arrest ... according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... ex-Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens was arrested in Manhattan Beach, CA last year when cops say he was drunkenly driving the Team USA soccer van with Hope on board.

At the time, sources told us both Hope and Jerramy were extremely difficult during the arrest -- and tried to play the "don't you know who we are?" card. It didn't work.

Stevens -- who had a prior DUI conviction -- was sentenced to 4 years probation and was ordered into an alcohol treatment program.

But according to court records, obtained by TMZ Sports, Stevens failed to appear at the clerk's office for a progress report hearing to show he's been attending the program ... so the judge revoked his probation and issued a warrant in the amount of $30k.

Now, Stevens' fate is in the hands of the judge -- who could order the ex-NFL player to serve jail time, unless Stevens has a real good excuse.

We reached out to Stevens' camp for comment -- so far, no word back.

6:43 AM PT -- We spoke with Steven's attorney Craig Renetzky who insists the whole thing is a "communication glitch" between the court and the alcohol program.

"[Stevens] is doing everything he’s supposed to be doing but the alcohol program didn’t get the court [the official progress report]."

Secret Service ain't gonna like this ... NBA player Drew Gooden says he's been to the White House to play basketball ... but not with Obama ... claiming to TMZ Sports HE SNUCK on B.O.'s home court and hooped out.

Drew plays for the Washington Wizards ... so when we got him out in L.A. we wanted to know if he's ever gotten to ball with the Prez ... who's of course a rabid hoops fan.

That's when Drew laid it on us ... saying he's never run with Obama ... but insisting he somehow made his way onto the first residence to play a little pick-up.

Joking? Maybe. Perfectly good explanation? Probably. Major cojones to say it publicly?

Here's Conor McGregor BOXING -- trading shots with a former IBO champion at a prestigious L.A. boxing gym ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

It all went down at Box 'N Burn gym in Brentwood -- when the UFC superstar stepped in the ring with former IBO welterweight champ Chris van Heerden to see if he could hang.

Here's UFC heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic belting a home run out of Progressive Field in Cleveland earlier today ... well, because he's a freak athlete.

Miocic was taking batting practice with the Cleveland Indians when he connected -- and blast the ball over the left field wall.

FYI, Miocic played college baseball at Cleveland State University ... but that was like 10 years ago.

#StillGotIt

You read that headline correctly ...

"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Dave Bautista says he got a WHOLE NEW respect for pole dancing -- when he actually tried to do some of the moves himself ... yes, Bautista got on the pole!

Both Dave and his pole dancing champion wife, Sarah Jade, joined the guys on "TMZ Sports" (airs tonight on FS1) and told us all about the serious strength and athleticism it takes to master the craft.

FYI, Sarah just took 1st place at Miss Pole Dance America 2016 -- one of the most prestigious competitions in the world.

You gotta watch the FULL INTERVIEW tonight on FS1 -- we even talked with Dave about the highly anticipated 'Guardians' sequel ... it's good stuff!

Mr. T was pure gold bullying tightrope walker Nik Wallenda, but the tables quickly turned on T himself when he was challenged to take the wire.

The pair was in NYC on Tuesday for Fairfield Inn & Suites National Amazing Month as the pop culture icons went head to head, so to speak.

Check out the vid, the world's best balancer attempts crossing a high-wire while Mr. T barks relentlessly.
