Johnny Manziel has officially been invited to join an independent pro football league in April -- a league that already has commitments from ex-NFL stars like Greg Hardy and Kellen Winslow Jr.

Props to tennis star Genie Bouchard ... who's paying off the Super Bowl bet she made with a fan by GOING ON A DATE WITH THE GUY!

Back when the Falcons were up big on the Patriots, Bouchard bet a Pats fan that she would go on a date with him if the Pats came back and won.

They did.

Moments ago, Bouchard met up with the guy in Brooklyn -- where they're going to the Nets game together!

Earlier Wednesday, Bouchard said she's a woman of her word -- and hoped the whole thing wouldn't be too awkward.

Good luck!

The whole world is wondering when/if Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather will step in a boxing ring, but Jay Glazer is about to tell us how long Floyd would last with Conor in a UFC Octagon.

We got Jay out at Catch in L.A. and instead of talking about a fight that MIGHT never happen, we talked to him about another fight that will NEVER happen ... Floyd vs. Conor in MMA.

Hannah Jeter is insanely attractive ... now that we've gotten that out of the way we can get to something equally as sexy, her telling TMZ Sports which female athlete she has the girl hots for.

Question -- if your wife was pregnant with twins and due next month, would you still go on a couples trip to Mexico without her?

Matthew Stafford just did and his wife couldn't be more supportive.

The Detroit Lions QB is currently in Cabo with Matt Ryan and his wife, Sarah Ryan. The two families are super tight and usually take couples trips together.

Matt's wife, Kelly, didn't make the vacation (we're guessing an international trip so far into the pregnancy isn't the best idea in the world) ... so Matt made the trip without her.

Sarah posted a photo of the gang at dinner. Kelly commented, saying, "Loving everything about this picture except for the fact that I'm not in it and stuck in Michigan."

She added, "Missing all these beautiful people! #jealous."

Atlanta Falcons legend Roddy White says he's spoken with players on the team who are still frustrated with the play calling at the end of the Super Bowl ... and says, "The City of Atlanta needed [that win]."

Roddy obviously loves the organization but says facts are facts ... several players were just as confused at the play calling in the 4th quarter as the fans at home.

White says "you don't have to be a football genius" to realize the team should've run the ball 3 times and kicked a field goal instead of trying to pass when they were up by 8. Dumb.

Jeffrey Sandusky was an E-5 Sergeant in the U.S. Marines -- who was awarded several medals in the years before he allegedly sexually assaulted a young girl ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We've been digging around Jeffrey's past and learned the 41-year-old joined the Marine Corps in 1995 and served until 2003.

During his time in the service, Sandusky was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Good Conduct Medal and the Armed Forces Reserve Medal (with "M" device).

After the Marines, Jeffrey lived a pretty quiet life ... until now.

He's currently facing several serious criminal charges after two sisters claimed he pushed for a sexual relationship with them while they were underage. One sister claims she was physically assaulted.

Conor McGregor says he's fascinated with Khloe Kardashian's "big fat ass" ... and says he really wants to see it in person.

The UFC superstar sat down with GQ during a recent trip to L.A. and was asked what he was going to be doing while in town.

"Maybe I’ll search for Khloé's [Kardashian] big fat ass," Conor said.

"She’s been floating around Malibu. I don’t give a f*ck about them [the Kardashians]. I just like to see them in the flesh ... just see what the big fat asses on them look like."

When asked if he admired the Kardashian sisters, Conor said, "Admire? Never. What’s the saying? Never put the p*ssy on a pedestal, my friend. I just want to see it. I want to see them."

Don't worry, Conor also took some shots at Floyd Mayweather -- saying he will destroy the boxing legend if they ever actually fight.

"Honestly, my fist is bigger than his head. I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts. If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers. You understand that?"

"If I crack that little head of his, it’s gonna go clean off his shoulder and up into the bleachers."

Former NHL star Mike Comrie -- once married to Hilary Duff -- is under investigation by the LAPD for allegedly raping a woman at his L.A. home, but he claims it was consensual ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the woman claims she met up with Comrie at a bar Saturday night and went back to his West L.A. condo. She claims he raped her multiple times.

The woman says she almost immediately went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center nearby, and a rape kit was administered.

Sources connected with Comrie say he's known the woman for a long time and acknowledges he had sex with her, but insists she gave full consent. The sources also say the encounter was a 3-way and the other woman has not filed any complaint.

We're told so far Comrie has not spoken to cops.

Vince McMahon took Donald Trump all the way back to 2007 Tuesday ... when the WWE honcho's family posed with the prez -- and busted out a pic of their famous "Hair Vs. Hair" match!

Cris Carter says he ain't holding a grudge against Terrell Owens over a pretty disrespectful comment the WR made last year ... telling TMZ Sports it's all water under the bridge.

T.O. made headlines back in 2016 when he was quoted saying Cris Carter "begged" his way into the Hall of Fame and suggested he'd never stoop to that level.

So, when we saw Cris out at Catch in L.A. Tuesday night we asked about the diss.

Cris not only takes the high road ... but also reminds us that whatever the tactic, HE'S IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!

The woman behind the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is turning the tables on herself -- posing in her bikini to spread her message, "There is not a singular definition of beauty."

Of course, the magazine has gotten criticism over the years for showcasing women with insane physiques that could cause body image issues for people unable to look like the traditional model.

But MJ Day says the S.I. Swimsuit issue has evolved under her leadership and now features more diverse body types than ever ... body types everyone should be proud of.

So, she put her money where her mouth is ... and by the way, good for her -- she looks great!

Floyd Mayweather says he's not the reason for the hold-up on a superfight with Conor McGregor -- and is pointing the finger at the UFC.

"Listen, Conor McGregor, if you really want to get this fight done ... take care of your business with the UFC and then have your people get in touch with my people," Mayweather wrote.

For the record, Dana White has already offered terms -- $25 mil per fight plus a Pay-Per-View split. Floyd laughed it off and never countered.

As for Conor, he's in Vegas -- which he now calls "My City" -- despite the fact Floyd lives there.

Comparing Steph Curry to UCLA star Lonzo Ball is insulting ... to Lonzo anyway ... that's according to Ball's dad, LaVar, who says his son is going to be BETTER THAN CURRY ... the 2 time NBA MVP.

A lot of NBA analysts say Lonzo's ability to shoot from deep, pass and finish make him a 6'6" version of Curry, but when TMZ Sports talked to the eldest Ball he shot the comparisons down.

"You can't compare my boy to anyone," ... adding, "He's gonna be better than Steph Curry in the NBA!"

Just as a reminder ... Curry has won the last two NBA MVP's and is currently averaging nearly 25 points and 6 assists in the toughest basketball league on the face of the planet.

Listen, we'd doubt Mr. Ball, but he's got one son who's scored 72 points in a high school game, another who's scored 92, and one who just might be the best player in college basketball.

So, it's obvious he knows something we don't.

President Trump has a starring role in a Mexican wrestling league. Yeah, you read that right.

Sam Adonis, an American who's wrestling in the CMLL (think WWE with more flavor), stepped into the ring in Mexico City the other night ... waving an American flag with Donald Trump's face. For good measure, he also plastered POTUS all over his tights.

We're not sure ... but we think Sam might be playing the villain.

Far as we know, he made it out of the arena alive that night.

Finally, Floyd Mayweather is on the same page as Dana White -- and says there is NO DEAL in place for him to fight Conor McGregor.

Floyd -- like Dana -- is shooting down reports out of Ireland that Floyd and Conor had agreed on terms for a megafight ... and were working things out with an unnamed 3rd party before signing the contract.

"Although there has been several rumors circulating through media suggesting that I will have an upcoming fight, I'd like to set the record straight and state that there has been no deals made on my behalf in regards to a bout with any fighter at this time," Floyd said.
