Scottie & Larsa Pippen Divorce Stalled ... Trying To Work Things Out

Published | Updated

Scottie and Larsa Pippen aren't in any rush to finalize their divorce -- in fact, they're trying to get back on the road to love ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Scottie and Larsa tell us the couple aren't calling it quits quite yet, and are currently focused on getting back to a good place in their marriage.

We're told they've maintained contact ever since Scottie filed for divorce -- but just to handle business with their kids ... nothing more. Since then, they've gotten a lot friendlier.

The bottom line ... there's still work to be done to fully mend the relationship ... but both Larsa and Scottie would rather stay together, considering their long history.

The proof's also in the courts. Scottie and Larsa each missed deadlines last month for the divorce process, and by the looks of their last outing, this whole thing might get dropped.

Warren Sapp Randy Moss Was No Angel Hall of Fame Gonna Snub Him Too?

Published | Updated

Warren Sapp is FURIOUS with Hall of Fame voters for snubbing Terrell Owens -- and says Randy Moss could be in serious trouble if candidates are being judged by off-the-field behavior.

Sapp -- a Hall of Famer himself -- says he's "up in arms" about the Owens situation because the guy is clearly one of the best WRs of all time ... along with Moss.

But with Owens not getting enough H.O.F. votes for the 2nd year in a row, Sapp clearly believes he's being wrongly punished for his off-the-field antics.

Sapp warns, "What do we do next year when Randy Moss is standing there?"

Of course, Moss also had major off-the-field issues during his NFL career -- including a 2002 arrest for allegedly striking a cop with his car (he later pled guilty to misdemeanor traffic violations).

He also failed an NFL drug test and was fined multiple times for abusing the refs -- including the infamous water bottle incident in 2000, when he squirted water at an official and was fined $40,000.

He also allegedly went on the radio in 2010 and blasted his head coach, Jeff Fisher, while using a fake name.

But Sapp says it shouldn't matter, they BOTH belong in Canton.

"Hey, wake up voters! I don't know what the hell football ya'll been watching for the last 2 years but there's two receivers other than Jerry Rice that must be in the Hall of Fame and that's Randy Moss and T.O."

"Get it right!"

GOTTA USE YOUR HEAD

Who's got the balls to talk trash to LeBron James???? (besides Charles Barkley) ... how about the GREATEST competitor in the history of "The Challenge!!!"

TMZ Sports spoke with 'Challenge' legend Johnny Bananas ... who's DOMINATED on the MTV show for years ... and he strongly believes LeBron wouldn't stand a chance in his world.

FYI, "The Challenge" is a bunch of hot dudes and chicks who party their faces off and sometimes bang each other at night ... and then go to war in grueling physical competitions during the day. New season premieres tonight.

It's crazy ... these people are legit athletes.

So, we asked Johnny how a world-class physical specimen like LeBron would hold up. He ain't too confident in the King.

Published | Updated

It's clear T.O. isn't letting his Hall of Fame snub keep him down ... getting way, way, way up to snatch an alley-oop out of midair in a charity basketball game, and TMZ Sports has the jam on video.

Terrell Owens balled in the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops game in Texas over the Super Bowl weekend, and while guys like Daniel Gibson, Steve Francis and Trinidad James were there, Owens had the highlight.

NOW, PUT HIM IN THE DAMN HALL OF FAME.

Houston Police NO IDEA Who Took Tom Brady's Jersey ... 'We're Looking at Everybody'

Published | Updated

Bill Belichick. Julian Edelman. The ball boys. Reporters. Robert Kraft.

The Houston Police Dept. says they're looking at EVERYONE who had access to the Patriots locker room to find out who stole Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey ... 'cause right now they have no idea.

The Houston PD just addressed the media -- saying they're combing through lists of people who were in the locker room when the jersey went missing.

They're also asking for reporters and camera people to check video in the hopes someone caught the thief in the act.

Bottom line ... the jersey is still missing and cops don't seem to have any real leads.

Officials say they've read reports that the jersey could be worth around $500,000 ... so it's become a high priority case. Top investigators are on the case!!!

Michael Vick Sorry, Bo Jackson Madden '04 Vick Is Video Game GOAT

DIGITAL GOAT

Michael Vick just started a barber shop debate for the ages ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks his Madden '04 character ... NOT Bo Jackson's Tecmo Bowl BEAST ... is the GOAT of video game football.

Vick came on the "TMZ Sports" TV Show (weeknights on FS1) and was asked who he thinks is the more ridiculous, unfair player to play between himself and Bo.

There's no easy answer ... Bo legendarily couldn't be tackled on Tecmo Bowl, while Vick had a FREAKIN' 94 SPEED RATING at QB, meaning the only way to stop him was to assault your opponent.

Mike puts all his faith in a familiar guy ... himself ... and gives some pretty good reasons why '04 Vick knows dominance better than Bo.

BTW -- If you use either player you're a hack.
