THEY'RE GOING DOWNHILL

Bad news for LA Galaxy fans, it's all over for your soccer franchise ... that's according to departing superstar Robbie Keane who says the Galaxy are SCREWED now that he's leaving.

Keane's been an absolute badass for the squad since he came over in 2011 ... becoming the fastest MLS player to score 100 goals ... and winning 3 titles with the team.

But when we got him out at Delilah in L.A. he made it clear ... THE JOYFULNESS IS OVER ... saying the team can't possibly replace everything he's done.

We'd say he was joking ... but we kinda don't think he is.

IT'LL BE A BATTLE

Remember, John Elway has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know ... and he thinks the game will be good to RGIII on Sunday -- saying the Browns QB will "do well" in his first start back.

Elway -- who won two Super Bowls as a player and built a SB winning team as a GM in Denver -- was out in L.A. when we asked how he thought RG3 would fare in his first game action since September.

Griffin threw for just 190 yards and an interception in his last start against Philly ... but John says things will be different this time.

STOP SCOFFING. He's John Elway and YOU'RE NOT (he's probably wrong, though).

DeAndre Jordan One Last Blowout at L.A. Mansion ... Cops Called

Published | Updated

Everyone knows ... when you're selling your insanely awesome L.A. party mansion -- you HAVE to throw one last rager before you go.

And that's exactly what DeAndre Jordan did Thursday night ... this according to law enforcement sources.

TMZ Sports has learned cops were called to Jordan's SICK $12 MILLION mansion in the Pacific Palisades around midnight after neighbors repeatedly called and complained about the noise.

As we previously reported, Jordan listed the 7 bedroom, 10 bathroom mega-estate earlier this year -- and he finally found a buyer last month.

So, with the place about to officially change hands ... DJ blew it out one last time.

Look at the pictures of this place -- can you really blame you the guy?

We're told cops made no arrests, no one was cited -- everyone complied.

By the way, the Clippers don't have a game until Saturday ... so what's the harm in a little Thursday night turn up?

"This weather at Lambeau is really going to put a damper on my ring game @jarretstoll."

When Twitter followers hit Andrews back looking to clarify, she replied with cheeky "heart" and "kissyface" emojis that seemed to confirm everyone's suspicions.

I NEED ACTION

Usain Bolt ... the next Transporter?!??

That's what he wants ... with the Jamaican super athlete telling TMZ Sports he "lives for" being an action star in the next phase of his life -- as long as he can be in a flick with Jason Statham!

Of course, the two are friends ... and Statham even had Usain at the 'Expendables' premiere back in the day.

Art Briles Sues Baylor Officials I'm Not Your Rape Scandal Scapegoat

Published | Updated

Art Briles claims he did NOT hide knowledge of alleged rapes by Baylor football players while he was the head coach ... and now he's suing 4 Baylor officials claiming they conspired to throw him under the bus.

Briles -- who was fired back in May -- just sued 3 school regents and a vice president for libel and slander.

In his suit, Briles says he was not made aware of the numbers the regents released to the Wall Street Journal ... that 17 women reported domestic violence or sexual assaults involving 19 football players.

Briles claims the school officials intentionally went public with the numbers to expose him to "public hatred, contempt, ridicule and cause him financial injury."

He essentially claims they made him the fall guy ... unfairly.

Briles says the allegations have made him college football poison -- severely hurting his chances to coach again.

"By their actions, [the Baylor officials] are allowing the alleged rapists and assaulters to walk free, thereby confirming that they are more interested in ruining Coach Briles' name, reputation and career than they are bringing criminals to justice."

SENDING A MESSAGE

If Vince McMahon has White House ambitions, he's already got 2 supporters on board ... Alberto Del Rio and Paige ... who say the WWE honcho would make a MUCH better prez than Donald Trump.

First off, Alberto HATES Trump ... with a passion.

But when we asked the pro wrestler about the President-elect naming Linda McMahon to head his Small Business Administration ... he didn't seem too confident in his former WWE boss.

Still, Alberto and Paige say they love Vince (probably because Paige still works for him) -- and think he's got the brains to be a solid Commander in Chief one day.

Hey, don't rule it out ...

MLB's Hunter Pence My Wedding Was Pure Fantasy 'Game of Thrones Meets Harry Potter'

Published | Updated

San Francisco Giants stud Hunter Pence is officially a married man ... and the way he tied the knot would make Jon Snow proud.

Pence officially traded "I Do's" with his longtime girlfriend, Alexis Cozombolidis, at EPIC steakhouse in San Francisco on Nov. 26th. But the best part ... the theme.

A rep for the restaurant tells us the place was decked out for a "'Harry Potter' meets 'Game of Thrones'" themed reception ... capped off with dancing under a "specially designed tent."

We're not exactly sure what that means yet ... but we're working on it.

By the way, Pence was adamant about having his wedding at EPIC steak because they helped him recover a scooter that was stolen in front of the place a few years back.

That's karma for ya ...
