Hope Solo was being recorded at the moment she found out Team USA soccer was suspending her and terminating her contract for trashing Team Sweden ... and she was PISSED.

"Six month suspension, no pay, terminated contract effective immediately," Solo said while hugging her husband, Jerramy Stevens (ex-NFL player).

"17 f***ing years and it's over!"

Solo was being recorded for the Fullscreen documentary, "Keeping Score" -- which will air even more footage from the moment during the full episode.

Brock Lesnar is DONE in the UFC -- and will never fight in the Octagon ever again, despite his hopes for a comeback ... so says Alistair Overeem.

Overeem is one of the few guys who actually beat Lesnar during his MMA career -- so when we saw him at LAX, we asked if there was a chance we'd ever see a rematch.

Problem is ... according to Alistair, we'll never see another Brock match, period -- following the drug allegations surrounding UFC 200.

You can see in the video Alistair has A LOT more he wants to say ... but bites his tongue.

It's interesting considering we just got Brock out earlier this month and he told us a UFC return was still a possibility.

We'll see ...

Ex-MLB star Curt Schilling says Colin Kaepernick is dead wrong for his National Anthem protest -- and says if they were teammates, they'd have A LOT MORE than a conversation about it.

Curt joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs tonight on FS1) -- and told us a stern conversation might not be enough to get his point across to the 49ers QB.

You gotta watch the whole interview Monday night -- especially when it comes to Schilling's thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Donald Trump is channeling his inner-Richard Nixon when it comes to Colin Kaepernick -- when it comes to America, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

Trump called in KIRO in Seattle and was asked how he felt about the 49ers QB's National Anthem protest -- and in classic Trump fashion, he didn't hold back.

"I think it’s personally not a good thing," Trump said ... "I think it’s a terrible thing."

Paige VanZant knows not the ways of the evil Cobra Kai ... or how to properly wax a car ... because SHE'S NEVER SEEN 'KARATE KID!'

So, we were talking with Paige about her insane K.O. crane kick to Bec Rawlings' face at "UFC Fight Night" in Vancouver this weekend ... when she dropped the revelation.

"To be competely honest, and I'm gonna be judged as a martial artist, I've never seen 'The Karate Kid,'" Paige said.

"I need to go watch that."

Check out the clip ... Paige also shows off her black eye ... THE SAME BLACK EYE DANIEL LARUSSO HAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE!

"You're the best ... around!"

NASCAR legend Tony Stewart just fired a huge shot at Colin Kaepernick -- calling him a "dumbass" and an "idiot" over his National Anthem protest.

"I'm sorry but @Kaepernick7 needs to learn the fact about police before running his dumbass mouth," Stewart said on Twitter.

"He has no clue what they go thru! #idiot."

Stewart is essentially echoing the sentiments of the San Francisco Police Officers Association -- which claimed the QB showed an "incredible lack of knowledge."

So far, Kaepernick has yet to respond to Stewart or the SFPOA.

3:04 PM PT -- Dolphins running back Arian Foster saw Tony's tweet and has responded -- saying, "How about attempting to educate him via your views instead of fueling hatred."

The San Francisco Police Officers Association is demanding an apology from the 49ers and the NFL -- claiming "your employee," Colin Kaepernick, has disrespected cops ... and they won't stand for it.

The SFPOA -- the largest union representing the S.F.P.D -- has fired off a letter to 49ers owner Jed York and NFL commish Roger Goodell to address the "recent ill-advised statements" made by the quarterback.

"We will not stand by while he attacks police officers killed in this country with statements such as 'People are on paid leave while people of color are killed.'"

"Not only does he show an incredible lack of knowledge regarding our profession and 'officer involved' shootings, but also shows a naivety and total lack of sensitivity towards police officers."

The SFPOA says Kaepernick has "embarrassed himself, the 49ers organization, and the NFL based on a false narrative and misinformation that lacks any factual basis."

The organization says it has invited Colin -- and any other NFL employee -- to visit the SFPD Academy to help educate them about police training and what officers go through on a daily basis.

"Until then we hope your organizations choose to do the right thing and at least apologize to the many police officers Mr. Kaepernick has disrespected for no apparent reason."

Anthony Anderson should have a major advantage over Stevie Wonder when it comes to shooting hoops ... but throw in a blindfold and all bets are off.

They were both at a charity basketball tourney Sunday in L.A. ... when Anthony challenged Stevie to an impromptu free throw contest. AA put a blindfold on to level the playing field, and yeah -- it went about as well as you'd expect.

Check out the crowd of more than 500 people showing love for Stevie. We can't really say either guy won, but one of them did get closer to the hoop.

Finally.

The San Diego Chargers just announced #3 overall draft pick Joey Bosa has SIGNED HIS CONTRACT!

Bosa's deal -- 4 years, $25.8 million (ALL GUARANTEED) with a $17 million signing bonus ... so says NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Skip Bayless just left ESPN -- but he still lives on in Bristol -- courtesy of his new employer, FS1, which just put up a handful of billboards trolling the mothership right in the center of ESPN country.

Of course, Skip recently ended his 23 year run on ESPN and is about to launch his new show, "Undisputed," on FS1 ... which debuts next week.

Which is why it's probably no coincidence that a couple of billboards just went up on a main road near ESPN headquarters -- where ESPN staffers will undoubtedly notice them.

By the way, the ads happen to show an image of Skip freeing a bird from its cage.

Iggy Azalea seems to be over Nick Young -- 'cause she's found herself a new guy in French Montana ... maybe.

Sources close to both rappers tell TMZ ... French dropped $60k for a private jet and flew Iggy and some friends to Cabo over the weekend. We're also told Iggy and French shared a room in the oceanfront home they rented.

French and Iggy have been kickin' it nonstop since hanging out in Vegas last month, where they reportedly cut a new track together. Sources say they've also been going on a few dates in L.A.

We're told they're not officially a couple yet, but Iggy's got a track record with dudes on boats.

Ezekiel Elliott says he didn't think he was doing anything wrong by visiting a recreational weed shop in Seattle before the Seahawks game last week ... but says it was ultimately a "bad decision."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the 21-year-old rookie running back hit up Herban Legends -- which LEGALLY sells weed for recreational purposes to people 21 and older.

"It was a bad decision," Elliott said (via Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram) ... "Just seen it walking around. Was curious."

"I didn't really think about it before I went in, what the repercussions could have been. It wasn't like I was trying to hide it or anything."

"I took pictures with people. It wasn't like I was up to no good."

As we reported, Elliott did not purchase anything or smoke anything while inside the shop.

Still, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was pissed -- calling the visit "not good."

Elliott says he apologized to Cowboys management -- and claims he's learned a valuable lesson.

"You definitely got to think of the perception of things before you actually do certain things ... It may not seem like it's a big deal to you yourself but there is a bigger picture."

Ryan Lochte says he'd love to go back to Rio one day ... but it sure as hell won't be to face charges in the whole gas station incident ... so says Lochte himself.

Lochte was charged with filing a false police report in Rio and officials have summoned the swimmer to Brazil for a hearing ... but Monday morning at LAX, Lochte said prosecutors shouldn't hold their breath.

There's more ... Lochte says he's heard rumblings that the U.S. Olympic Committee will either ban him from swimming or strip him of his '16 Olympic medals over the incident ... but says, "I don't think it's gonna happen."

As for Jimmy Fallon spoofing him at the VMAs Sunday night, Lochte says he didn't see it -- but ain't mad either ... insisting he thinks the mockery is actually funny.

Peyton Manning dragged Tom Brady into his comedy act at the Rob Lowe roast -- firing a zinger at the Patriots QB over the whole Deflategate scandal.

Manning was talking about Rob Lowe's famous 2012 blunder -- where Lowe erroneously tweeted out that Peyton would be announcing his retirement. Obviously, he did not.

Enter Peyton at the Roast ... when he turned to Lowe and said, "You tried to take the air out of my retirement announcement so fast, you can probably get a job as Tom Brady's ball boy."

Funny ... even Tom's gotta laugh at that ... right?

Steve-O came out on the losing end of a run-in with a wooden porta potty ... and by losing we mean his ankle is shattered in THREE places, and the video is brutal.

We got this video of Steve-O trying to pull the insane stunt Sunday in San Diego -- he perched himself, with a skateboard, on top of the porta potty ... then pro skating legend Danny Way drove a car underneath him, shattering the poop shed.

He even got Tony Hawk to record the whole thing ... and you gotta see how it went down.

In a word -- BAD. Steve dislocated and broke his right ankle. He says doctors set it in a temporary cast, and once the swelling goes down ... he'll need surgery to put some hardware in there. For good measure, he broke his heel in his left foot too.

BTW ... no pain pills for Steve since he's a recovering addict.

Safe to say Colin Kaepernick has a supporter in Charlie Sheen.

The Warlock was leaving dinner (and maybe a few drinks???) at Yamashiro in Hollywood this weekend -- when he told us he sees both sides of the Kaepernick debate ... but made it clear where he stands.
