Draya Michele says you might not see the second coming of her fiance, Orlando Scandrick, in the NFL ... 'cause unless the league addresses its concussion issue their son WON'T be playing.

Draya -- who welcomed a baby boy with the Cowboys CB back in April -- was out with the girls at Ysabel in L.A. when we asked about how things are going with the brand new baby.

She told us Orlando is in full daddy day care mode -- diapers and all -- but when we brought up a potential future in football for the tyke ... Draya went all mommy on us saying she's not sure it's safe.

Anyone who thinks Canelo Alvarez is gonna stroll into AT&T Stadium this weekend and walk all over Liam Smith can "go f*** themselves" ... this according to Smith.

The undefeated WBO light middleweight champ is squaring off with Canelo on Saturday night in Texas -- and says he's more than confident he'll destroy Oscar De La Hoya's best fighter in front of the world.

Alvarez is a HEAVY favorite in the fight -- and some people are saying Smith is more like a warm-up act for Canelo's superfight with Gennady Golovkin next year.

UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz fights like a bitch ... so says Cody "No Love" Garbrandt.

Cody was out in NYC and explained why he hates Cruz's guts so much -- and says a lot of the disdain stems from DC's fighting style.

"I'm a real fighter," Garbrandt said ... "I go out and get the finishes. He goes out and skates by on decisions."

Joe Jonas looks like he's shaping up to be a fine fighter ... emphasis on fine.

We got Jonas Bro #2 out in Bev Hills where he was practicing his hook and uppercut against women's boxing champ Ava Knight, showing off his sculpted bod in the process.

He's been training hard lately, and so has Nick. So we gotta ask ...

Y'know those Denzel Washington memes about his moustache that you've been laughing about -- well, Denzel ain't laughing. At all. In fact, he's got some strong words for the Internet.

For the first time, Denzel talked about all those images that popped up after he went to the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight sporting a Yosemite Sam handlebar moustache. The Internet had a field day (seriously, Google it) ... but when entertainment host Xilla brought it up, Denzel got gangsta.

Check out the clip -- Xilla simply asked what he thought about the memes, and DW said, "If I had my wallet I'd show you." It gets worse after that.

Btw, the real reason for the facial hair -- Denzel was filming 'Magnificent Seven' at the time with director Antoine Fuqua ... who's sitting next to him in this clip.

"King Kong ain't got nuthin' on me" ... definitely comes to mind here.

Norm Macdonald says the security guard who violently took out the Ryan Lochte protester at "Dancing with the Stars" is just like Ray Lewis ... except he didn't kill anyone.

Norm was at LAX with Fred Stoller when we showed them the crazy video of the Lochte incident ... and that's when Norm did what Norm does, he cracked a hilarious joke.

For the record ... Ray was charged with murder back in 2000 following an incident after a Super Bowl party in Atlanta. But the charge was dismissed and he later pled guilty to obstruction of justice.

The Dallas Cowboys could be the next Cinderella team in the NFL thanks to Dak Prescott ... so says Barry Switzer.

The ex-Cowboys coach was in D.C. Wednesday where he raved about Jerry Jones -- and then gave a pretty optimistic outlook on the season to Dallas fans.

Yes, Allen Iverson's brand new Hall of Fame trophy is still at his hotel in Springfield, MA ... but it's not because he forgot to bring it home -- he left it on purpose, so says a rep for the H.O.F.

The pic of Iverson's trophy -- posted by The Toucher and Rich Show -- blew up on Reddit this morning ... with people clowning A.I. for being so absent-minded, he couldn't even remember to pack up the hardware he JUST got this weekend.

But a rep for the Basketball Hall of Famer says it's not how it appears -- Iverson intentionally left the trophy at the Sheraton Hotel so it could be safely shipped to his home.

"About half of the players in the past 12 years have done this," says Fran Judkins, Senior Director of Professional Relations.

"[Inductees] leave their trophies at the hotel so they don’t have to worry about taking them on a plane or traveling with the extra luggage."

"The hotel staff knows about this, they call me and let me know when I can pick up the trophies to ship to their houses."

"This is a very common thing to do. I also have another trophy that was left at the hotel."

Don't believe this crap about Jeff Fisher benching Jared Goff for Week 1 so he could "sense and absorb the pressures" of the NFL ... he DOESN'T TRUST THE ROOKIE ... so says Tony Gonzalez.

"Coach Fisher's been around for a long time," Gonzalez says ... "Obviously he doesn't trust him enough to even dress him ... so that says a lot right there."

Goff -- the #1 overall pick in the draft -- was listed as the 3rd string QB for Week 1 ... and was in street clothes as the Rams got blown out by the 49ers.

Fisher told the media he doesn't want to rush Goff -- even though the team traded SIX DRAFT PICKS to get him. Fisher had said he was pleased with Goff's progress.

Yeah, right.

Kevin Durant got a huge ovation at his new home stadium Tuesday night -- when Drake brought out the Warriors star at his concert at Oracle Arena ... and praised him as his "brother."

Drake is a huge Toronto Raptors fan -- and even works for the team -- but he's clearly got love for the Golden State Warriors superstar.

In fact, he recently shouted KD out on "Weston Road Flows" -- a track on his album "Views."

Don't EVER question Antonio Gates in your fantasy football lineup -- START HIM ... so says the tight end himself.

We got the Chargers legend out in L.A. Tuesday and he scoffed at the idea that anyone would consider sitting him vs. the Jaguars this weekend ... even after a not-so-great Week 1.

There's more ... we also asked how the team is doing after the loss of stud WR Keenan Allen and how the team's responding to the addition of Joey Bosa.

Mr. Las Vegas LOVES the idea of the Raiders moving to Sin City -- with Wayne Newton telling TMZ Sports if it actually does happen, he wants to buy a piece of the team!

Of course, there's been A LOT of talk about the Silver and Black heading to Vegas in the near future -- with owner Mark Davis even snatching up the domain LasVegasRaiders.com.

Ray Rice hit the gym HARD Tuesday -- continuing to train to play in the NFL this season ... and sources tell TMZ Sports multiple teams are inquiring about him.

LeBron James' world could collide with the Kardashian family ... soon ... because his mother's fiance is putting the full-court press on Kris Jenner to manage his rap career.

Actress Lyssa Roberts -- the Wimbledon streaker from "7 Days in Hell" -- has at least part of a backside grab mastered.

Not hard to figure out which part, once you take a look at her coasting along the Playa del Rey beach boardwalk.
