Bill Belichick says the Patriots were well aware of the disturbing Michael Floyd DUI video before they signed him -- and insinuated they would not be dropping the WR now that it's gone public.

TMZ Sports posted the video Tuesday showing the former Cardinals star passed out behind the wheel of his SUV while in traffic in Scottsdale, AZ. Cops say he was completely wasted.

When asked about the video at his Wednesday morning news conference, he replied, We were aware of the situation when we claimed him."

He added, "[Floyd is] in an ongoing legal situation that I’m not going to comment on."

Long story short ... Floyd still has his second chance. Don't blow it.

'Tis the season!

Antonio Brown was feeling extra saucy Tuesday night -- and decided to spend some of his hard earned cash ... on the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh!

The Steelers superstar cut a $100,000 check to the hospital -- and showed it off on social media ... hopefully inspiring other people to give as well.

Brown has a great relationship with the hospital -- in fact, he hosted a softball game to raise money for the place earlier this year.

Jay Glazer couldn't be more clear when it comes to Joe Mixon -- F*** THAT GUY.

The "NFL on FOX" star -- one of the most connected guys in football -- was leaving Craig's in WeHo when we asked if teams were still considering drafting the Oklahoma running back after seeing him brutalizing a woman in newly released video.

Glazer UNLOADED -- blasting the guy as a total piece of garbage who doesn't deserve the PRIVILEGE of playing in the NFL.

Glazer also says he hopes someone will "beat his ass." Full context here ... he'd just finished dinner with a friend -- a model named Anne Greene who was beaten by men. So he was especially fired up about the topic.

For the the record, Jay has come out strong against man-on-woman violence in the past -- trashing guys like Greg Hardy and Ray Rice.

Richard Sherman vowed to single-handedly ruin a reporter's career Tuesday -- seriously -- all because the guy asked a question the Seahawks star didn't like.

It all went down right after Sherman wrapped up a news conference -- in which 710 ESPN Seattle reporter Jim Moore had asked Sherman about criticism of the team's offensive coordinator.

Sherman didn't like the question ... and as he was leaving the conference, he went up to Moore and said, "I'll ruin your career."

Moore replied, "You'll ruin my career? How are you going to do that?"

Sherman: "I'll make sure you don't get your media pass anymore."

Moore: "Is that right?"

Sherman: "Yes it is."

Matt Barnes is officially a single man ... and all it cost him was HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Craig Sager's legacy just got the ultimate big up from a huge L.A. street artist ... being immortalized on some Tinseltown bricks right next to fellow Jimmy V award winner Stuart Scott.

The artist's name is Jonas Nevers ... who's done art of other sports figures like Vin Scully, Kobe Bryant, and Magic Johnson ... but made headlines for his Stuart Scott piece last year.

We're told the Sager art -- painted on the brick wall of Melody Bar & Grill -- was finished just moments ago ... and the decision to put him next to Scott was made to honor two iconic voices that cancer took too soon.

Pure awesome ... R.I.P. Craig Sager.

TMZ Sports has obtained arrest video showing NFL wide receiver Michael Floyd PASSED OUT behind the wheel of his SUV while in traffic ... and it's disturbing.

It's not exactly a Cinderella story ... but it's pretty damn cool that Bill Murray is opening a Caddyshack-themed bar in the Windy City!

Paige VanZant is no bitch -- and just because she got beat up this weekend doesn't mean she won't come back and dominate in 2017 ... so says her friend and training teammate, Urijah Faber.

VanZant got rocked by Michelle Waterson at UFC on FOX 22 this weekend -- and there's some talk that the "Dancing with The Stars" alum has been focusing too much on Hollywood ... and not enough on fighting.

But Faber says that's a bunch of crap ... saying he's blown away by how VanZant balances the UFC and other opportunities ... and says she's such a hard worker, there's no reason she can't keep it up.

The San Diego Chargers security guard who was allegedly caught masturbating on video while he stood on the field could lose more than his job ... because cops are now on the case.

Law enforcement in SD tells us they've been made aware of the incident and have opened up their own criminal investigation.

The video -- posted Monday -- shows a male guard allegedly pleasuring himself in front of a group of cheerleaders. Both the team and security company were quick to action ... investigating and firing the employee in a matter of hours.

The San Diego Chargers are investigating a video that seems to show a stadium security guard masturbating on the sidelines ... just a few feet away from the team's cheerleaders, and we've learned the guard in question has already been fired.

Willis McGahee says he'd have never skipped a bowl game to preserve his health ... telling TMZ Sports the loyalty you get from your college team is worth more than all the NFL money in the world.

McGahee -- a star -- tore his ACL and MCL in a gruesome injury during the '02 Fiesta Bowl ... his last game at the University of Miami.

Willis was expected to be a top 5 pick before the injury ... but ended up being drafted 23rd. He missed his entire rookie season.

So, if anyone understands Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey sitting out, it'd be McGahee, right?

Did you know Cedric the Entertainer is good friends with Dez Bryant?

It's true ... and Ced tells TMZ Sports he doesn't want to see Tony Romo throwing him the ball ever again.

Welcome to the league, rook.

Houston Texans rookie defensive back KJ Dillon got stuck with a $16,000 dinner bill Monday night after a big night out with some of his teammates ... a night that included $7,700 in cognac!!!

The DBs hit up Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Houston -- where they crushed everything from steak to lobster to bacon wrapped scallops.

And don't forget the 22 glasses of Hennessy Paradis Imperial -- $7,700!

Total bill $16,255 ... and that does NOT include tip!

Dillon later tweeted, "When you get left with the tab ..."

FYI, Dillon ain't exactly making Brock Osweiler money ... he only signed a 4 -year deal worth $2.798 mil ... which included a $234,936 signing bonus.

Joe Mixon told police, "It felt like a dude hit me" when he was slapped by a female student in 2014 ... and that's why he hit back.

This is awesome ...

Carmelo Anthony is giving his 9-year-old son some intense fathering ... instilling the kind of knowledge that could take him to the NBA one day ... and it was all caught on video.

Melo brought Kiyan Anthony out to the Knicks practice facility and ran some footwork drills with the kid -- teaching his son how to pivot and power a defender off of him to create space ... just like dad does.

Warning to LeBron's kids -- Kiyan looked like he was picking it up pretty fast.
