An autopsy has been conducted on Jose Fernandez and the other 2 men killed in this weekend's boating accident ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A rep for the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's Office confirms all 3 autopsies were completed on Sunday.

Officials have previously said they do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the Sunday morning crash that killed the Miami Marlins pitcher ... but toxicology testing will be able to shed more light on that situation.

NBA legend Paul Pierce says he's ready to hang 'em up ... after ONE MORE run at an NBA title.

The Truth just released a video statement on The Players' Tribune -- and says he's realized that it's time to move on from the game of basketball ... "It's my final season."

Pierce says he's at peace with the decision -- and says he believes the Clippers are legitimate title contenders.

He also admits, "It's a young man's game" ... but says he thinks he has one more opportunity "with a great team."

Pierce was drafted by the Celtics with the 10th pick in the 1998 Draft -- and led the team to an NBA title in 2008.

Hours after the Dodgers clinched the NL West in dramatic fashion, Yasiel Puig celebrated by hitting the Hollywood club scene and partying until 2 in the morning.

Rampage Jackson would kick the ever-living crap outta Brock Lesnar ... at least according to Rampage ... who says, huge weight difference or not, he'd win the fight.

TMZ Sports saw Jackson outside of 1 OAK in L.A. this week ... when a potential Brock Lesnar vs. Rampage Jackson super fight came up.

FYI -- Rampage is a legendary MMA fighter ... with a 37-11 record. Brock has a lot less experience (he's 6-3) ... but outweighs R.J. by 60+ pounds.

So, who'd win? Rampage has zero doubt he'd be victorious.

Question is, how would he take out Lesnar?

Kiefer Sutherland is a HUGE hockey fan ... and although he doesn't hit the ice as much as he used to ... he still remembers which celebrity opponent delivered the hardest check.

TMZ Sports ran into the "Designated Survivor" star ... who tells us Tim Robbins is no joke on skates.

Since Robbins, who's 6'5'', has a clear height advantage over Sutherland (5'9'') ... we had to ask his strategy against the 'Shawshank Redemption' star.

Legendary golfer Arnold Palmer has died, his family confirms.

Palmer died Sunday at his home in Pennsylvania ... but details are unclear.

Golfweek first reported the death.

Arnold Palmer was a 7-time major championship winner ... and became the most beloved figure associated with golf.

His battles over the years with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player are considered some of the greatest matches the game has ever seen.

R.I.P.

Jose Fernandez was a man of the sea in the weeks before his tragic death.

The Marlins pitcher and some buddies fished and partied it up in the waters around Miami. One of the shots appears to be the same type of boat that crashed into a jetty Sunday morning ... killing Jose and 2 others on board.

The guys on the boat are called "J's Crew."

Authorities now say drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the fatal crash.

12:00 PM -- Authorities are saying there's no indication drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash.

The boat crash in which Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez died triggered a frantic rescue effort.

As we reported, Fernandez and 2 others were killed when the 32-foot vessel in which they were riding crashed into a jetty in Miami Beach.

Investigators now say the boat was roaring along the water at full speed.

You see the helicopters searching for bodies with the aid of spotlights.

None of the victims were wearing life jackets.

Miami Marlins pitcher, Jose Fernandez, was killed after the boat he was riding slammed into a jetty.

Coast Guards found Fernandez' body along with two others early Sunday morning near Miami Beach near the 32-foot vessel, which was overturned.

Two of the bodies were found floating on top of the water, and one was submerged.

The Marlins released a statement saying, "The Miami Marlins organization is devastated by the tragic loss of Jose Fernandez. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at a very difficult time."

Their Sunday afternoon game against the Atlanta Braves has been canceled out of respect.

Fernandez was born in Cuba and tried 3 times to defect to the U.S. ... he was caught twice and served prison time. He also saved his mother's life after she fell out of the boat during one attempt.

Fernandez successfully defected in 2008. He was named the NL's Rookie of the Year in 2013.

He was 24.

R.I.P.

Carson Wentz is lightin' it up in the league ... but if he was on the L.A. Rams, he'd be sittin' on the bench, just like Jared Goff ... NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson tells TMZ Sports.

Dickerson -- one of the greatest Rams of all time -- joined "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) to discuss the 2 QBs ... and whether the Rams screwed up selecting the one they did.

FYI -- Wentz, the #2 pick, has led his Eagles to a 2-0 start (3 TDs, 0 INTs). On the other hand, Goff, the #1 pick, was inactive for the Rams 1st game ... and served as the backup for the 2nd.

So, does Eric think the Rams screwed up not drafting Wentz? And if they drafted him, would he be killin' it with the Rams like he has with the Eagles?

Watch the throne, Kanye ... there's a new name in football cleats ... and he goes by King James.

Two weeks after 'Ye debuted the first ever Yeezy Boost football cleats with NFL stars like Von Miller and DeAndre Hopkins, Baltimore Ravens stud Terrell Suggs is bringing LeBron James' signature shoes to the gridiron.

TMZ Sports spoke with Marcus Rivero, owner of Soles By Sir, who converted a pair of Nike LeBron Soldier IX basketball shoes into football cleats.

The process? It was basically taking the sole of a pair of cleats, and fusing it with the sole of the 'Bron shoe.

Rivero says the final product -- painted with purple and gold Ravens colors -- costs about $1,000 to complete.

We're told Terrell plans to wear the cleats on Sunday against the Jaguars.

Note to LeBron ... get on this ASAP. There's money to be made!!

The mother of NFL star Antonio Cromartie has moved out of the house he bought her back in 2007 and then tried to evict her from ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, Cromartie attempted to kick his mom, Cassandra Wilkerson, out in August after she refused to start paying the $700/month mortgage payments, 'cause she thought the house was a gift.

We spoke to Wilkerson, who tells us she and her husband weren't successfully evicted, but decided to get the hell out of Dodge -- and bought their own house on September 16th.

She says she hasn't spoken to Antonio in two months because of the house disagreement and "doesn't understand why he's so vindictive" toward her.

We reached out to Cromartie, but he had no comment.

The ex-NFL player who starved his dog to death has been released from a Baltimore jail 3 months early ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to a rep for the jail, Cody was released on September 21st. He was given 88 days credit for working and good behavior.

The judge also gave him 18 months probation. During that time, he's not allowed to own any animals.

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch -- aka Sunny -- was busted for violating her parole ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement in Carbon County, PA tells us Sytch was arrested Friday ... but it's unclear exactly what the violation was for.

TMZ broke the story -- Sytch caught a HUGE break during sentencing for her triple DUI case -- getting no time in jail thanks to a lengthy stint in rehab and a generous judge. She was ordered to submit to biweekly alcohol testing so it's possible she didn't show up or failed the test.

Tammy told us after sentencing last month that just one slip-up could lead to some serious consequences.

Pro Wrestling Sheet first reported the arrest ... Sytch remains in custody.
