Ex-Team USA soccer player Ella Masar says she was NEVER serious about boycotting the U.S. now that Donald Trump has been elected president ... claiming she made a joke in a Swedish interview that was taken out of context.

Masar -- who currently plays for FC Rosengard in Sweden -- reportedly said she asked team honchos for a 4 year extension with the club "so I do not have to go back to the U.S. with Donald Trump as president."

But TMZ Sports just spoke with Masar ... who says the report is just plain wrong.

Masar does acknowledge she was talking about the election in the interview -- and made a joke about staying in Sweden for another 4 years ... but NOT because of Trump.

"No, I'm not staying out of America for 4 years ... I can't wait to go back in a week."

Randy Gregory has a problem with marijuana -- that's what the Dallas Cowboys defensive end tested positive for during his last drug test ... league sources tell TMZ Sports.

We're told Gregory -- who's currently serving a suspension for failing previous drug tests -- was tested again at the end of last week ... and it came up showing weed.

Our sources say Gregory was notified of the result on Tuesday -- and has been concerned that the Cowboys could get rid of him. So far, we're told no decision has been made.

Before this, Gregory had reportedly failed 5 NFL drug tests. This is number 6.

One source close to Gregory tells us, "He has a problem quitting."

We've reached out to Gregory's rep multiple times.

Rams wide receiver Kenny Britt STRONGLY believes he belongs in the Pro Bowl this year ... and threw himself a rally in L.A. on Thursday to fire up the voters to get his ass to Orlando!

Kenny says he's having the best season of his 8 year NFL career -- and wants the league to take notice.

37 catches for 584 yards and 3 TDs ... not bad. In fact, he's ranked #19 in total receiving yards this year.

Tyron Woodley just threatened to "Go Ferguson" on Conor McGregor's ass -- after the Irish superstar called him a "bitch" on social media.

It all started at the UFC 205 weigh-ins earlier Friday when Tyron tried to say hello to Conor and McGregor blew him off.

Woodley explained in a tweet ... "I said what's up then he tried to flex. Quickly he realized it was a NO FLEX ZONE 🚫Pretty much made him say what's up!"

"Some of us are really about that life! The quiet ones are the ones really from the slums. Don't make me go back."

That's when Conor chimed in ... "Twitter bitch you'll do nothing."

Tyron (who's from Ferguson) fired back -- "Dude Im not them guys u deal w Homie! I'll forget the fight 💩 & go Ferguson! Focus on Eddie & never call me a Bitch again."

Conor's reply -- "Bitch."

Stay tuned ...

Dana White says he hasn't spoken with Jon Jones since his suspension -- and WON'T talk to the former champ -- until he clears up all of the issues in his personal life.

Jones was stripped of his interim light heavyweight title this week after USADA imposed a 1 year ban on him for testing positive for PEDs before UFC 200.

Jones claimed he wasn't trying to get a competitive edge -- but had innocently taken a "d**k pill" that he didn't know contained a banned substance.

So, we asked White if Jones was finally out of his dog house -- and long story short ... no.

"Jon's got a lot of things he's gotta handle and clear up before Jon and I talk," White says.

"It's all self-inflicted so he needs to figure some stuff out and get his personal life in order before he even thinks about what's going on over here [in the UFC]."

But not all of the fighters are writing Jones off ... Michael Bisping says Jon's still young enough and talented enough to dominate the UFC gain ... "Don't worry about him."

Eddie Alvarez isn't the only one taking shots at Conor McGregor ... 'cause PETA is calling out the MMA superstar over the flashy mink coat he wore during the UFC 205 presser Thursday, TMZ Sports has learned.

Aside from McGregor's usual news conference antics, all eyes were on his outfit ... which featured what he claims to be an all white Gucci mink.

PETA's Senior Vice President, Lisa Lange, took notice ... and called out the Notorious for his fashion choice.

"There are few things more out of touch than draping yourself in the skins of animals who were beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their fur," Lange says.

"Real men leave the beatings in the ring -- and fight, not support, animal abuse."

Tracy McGrady is 100% sure he'd Nolan Ryan Tim Tebow ... as in STRIKE HIM THE HELL OUT if the two men ever faced off on the baseball diamond.

McGrady had a short stint as a pitcher with the Sugar Land Skeeters a couple years back ... so when we got him out in L.A. we asked if he thought he could get 3 strikes by that other new baseball star.

He didn't even hesitate ... the guy is confident.

BTW ... McGrady had a 6.75 ERA in 4 appearances for the Skeeters, and Tebow is currently batting .156 in Arizona fall league. So, not exactly Clemens vs. Bonds here ... but still fun to think about.

Ray Rice. Adrian Peterson. DeflateGate. CTE. TV ratings ... Roger Goodell has a tough job -- and Adam Silver knows it.

The NBA commish was leaving a charity event for the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation in NYC Thursday night when we asked who has the harder job ... him or Goodell?

Silver's job hasn't exactly been a cakewalk ... Donald Sterling, the Rajon Rondo homophobia scandal, ATL Hawks racism scandal, Blake Griffin fight.

Okay, maybe Goodell does have the most challenging gig ... and even Silver acknowledged it.

That being said, Goodell reportedly made $32 MILLION last season ... so, worth it?

Despite having a pretty rough week, Michelle Obama found some time to smile and goof around with LeBron and the rest of the Cavs on Thursday ... pulling off a Mannequin Challenge at the White House!

The Cavs were at 1600 Penn. to be honored by Obama for winning the NBA championship -- and decided to get in on the social media craze while there.

Scottie and Larsa Pippen ripped a page straight out of Crazy Eddie's handbook -- majorly SLASHING the price on their Florida mansion ... and now it's PRICED TO SELL AT $10.9 MIL!

Donald Trump and Conor McGregor in the same building??

It could happen on Saturday ... because the President-elect had told Dana White he'd be at UFC 205 if he won the election.

We spoke with Dana -- who famously gave a speech for Donald at the Republican National Convention back in July -- and the UFC honcho told us about Trump's tentative plans to attend the fight in NYC.

"Donald originally told me he that would come to the fight if he won," White said.

"I don't think Donald really realized what his duties were gonna be had he won. I think he's meeting with Obama today and then I don't know. We'll see, man."

"Listen, no pressure to come ... but it wouldn't suck if he came."

More troubling behavior from ex-Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle -- who was charged with a crime after allegedly ripping a TV off the wall in jail ... because he wanted to watch a certain show.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs which show Randle was charged with criminal damage to property for the July 28 incident at the Sedgwick County Jail.

Officials say witnesses snitched on Randle -- most likely because he broke the whole TV which was damaged beyond repair. Everyone knows you don't mess with inmates' TV privileges!

Randle was (and is) behind bars stemming from an incident in which officials say he allegedly ran over multiple people with his car after losing a beer pong game.

What does it look like to have Conor McGregor threaten to bash you with a chair??? See for yourself!

When Conor and Eddie Alvarez got into it at the UFC 205 news conference, UFC star Tyron Woodley pulled out his phone and shot the whole thing ... while standing RIGHT BEHIND Eddie!!!

Conor McGregor just UNLOADED on Eddie Alvarez at the UFC 205 press conference at Madison Square Garden ... telling Alvarez to "suck these big Irish balls."

It was insane ... Conor walked onstage 15 minutes late rockin' a mink coat ... and proceeded to verbally attack Alvarez.

At one point, McGregor snatched Alvarez's belt off the table ... almost coming to blows before Dana stepped in.

Teyana Taylor just let the entire world know who she supported in the election ... using the Cavs' trip to the White House to make a statement about Hillary Clinton.

Taylor is with her husband, Iman Shumpert, in D.C. Thursday to meet Obama ... and decided to make a statement by posing next to a picture of Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Teyana posted the pic to her Instagram along with another shot featuring a quote from Civil Rights leader Angela Davis ... who seemed to be Teyana's fashion inspiration for the night.

Worth noting ... Davis was a close associate of the Black Panther Party back in the '60s and '70s ... a movement that has heavily influenced the Black Lives Matter movement of today.

When in Washington ... get a little political.

President Obama just got to flex his comedy skills one last time ... welcoming the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers to the White House.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the rest of the squad were honored by POTUS on the lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave ... and the prez was funny!!

Topics Obama didn't touch? Donald Trump. Khloe Kardashian. Everything else was fair game ... including busting on J.R. Smith for not wearing a shirt after the Cavs won the title.

B.O. also discusses "MacGyver" Iman Shumpert for delivering his baby with the help of a pair of headphones.

Check out the clip, and congrats champs!
