The Game is a HUGE San Francisco 49ers fan ... and he's calling for the team to SIGN JAY CUTLER ... telling TMZ Sports the Bears QB could turn the whole team around.

He's serious ... Game LOVES Jay Cutler.

"[Jay could] bring us back to playoff contention," Game explained ... "We need somebody stable and Jay Cutler has been stable his whole career."

Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston completely blew it at an elementary school speech to kids ... telling the crowd men are supposed to be strong and loud -- and women should be silent.

Usain Bolt just threw the sickest party ever at 10,000 feet -- getting all sorts of crunk with his party pals on a private jet bound for Carvinal in Trinidad!!!

The Jamaican track legend boarded the plane with Jamaican soccer star Ricardo "Bibi" Gardner, singer Christopher Martin and others ... and immediately broke out the booze!

There were shots, dancing, strobe lights, cool handshakes, dirty chants about all the sex they're gonna have in Trinidad ... seriously!

They were also singing along to Machel Montano's hit, "Like Ah Boss" -- Montano is like the Michael Jackson of Caribbean music.

Carnival runs through Tuesday ... but the parties are already underway!!!

This should be goooood!

Bad news for Kevin Durant ... he's NOT banging Amber Rose, that's according to Amber ... who says the hookup the whole internet is talking about never happened.

There were reports Amber and Kevin had hit up The Nice Guy together on Tuesday night, and a potential romance -- and maybe even a brand new power couple -- was brewing.

But, when we got Amber (who's really, really attractive) out in L.A. Wednesday night, she smashed rumors that she's smashing the NBA All-Star, saying they just happened to be at the same restaurant.

Hear that? It's the rest of the NBA breathing a sigh of relief.

Floyd Mayweather wants everyone to know he's here in L.A. -- which is interesting ... since Conor McGregor is, too.

The boxing legend hit up Catch in West Hollywood Wednesday night -- the hottest restaurant in town where Floyd KNOWS the paparazzi would go crazy for him. He was right ... it was madness.

What's interesting is Conor is also in town -- we saw him in Bev Hills the other day and he's been posting photos all over town ever since.

Last time they were in the same city (Vegas), Conor declared it his own and mocked Floyd for refusing to sit down with him.

Will things change in L.A.? Stay tuned ...

Darius McCrary is firing back at his wife over her abuse claims ... insisting he's a loving father, and she's nothing more than a gold digging, failed ex Harlem Globetrotter.

The former "Family Matters" star says Tammy Brawner lied when she stated in legal docs he was repeatedly abusing her and their infant daughter. McCrary's attorney Glen T. Jonas tells TMZ, Brawner "is no victim ... she is a predator motivated by a desperate desire to extort money out of Mr. McCrary while trying to create an advantage in an impending divorce and custody battle."

TMZ broke the story -- Brawner, a former Globetrotter, got a restraining order against McCrary, and in the docs she accused him of striking her and getting violent in front of their child earlier this month.

McCrary's attorney says Darius "is a loving, devoted and dedicated father. [Tammy's] allegations are such obvious and outlandish lies ... we are all dumber for having read them."

The scorching response to Brawner's allegations included a deep dig at her career -- "Having floundered after being fired by the Globetrotters she apparently will say anything for a bit of media attention and a glimpse of the spotlight."

McCrary must stay 100 yards away from Brawner and their daughter, at least until a hearing next month.

Joe Mixon wants everyone to know he's focused on the NFL ... Combine or not.

The ex-Oklahoma running back is in Norman, OK, where he's been training full-time for the NFL Draft and TMZ Sports has video of his workouts. It's impressive.

The footage speaks for itself ... he can run, catch, cut on a dime and looked strong putting up 275 on the bench press.

Mixon was not invited to the NFL Combine due to the violent 2014 incident involving a female student -- but he still has his sights set on the league and will have a Pro Day on the Oklahoma campus on March 8.

The violent thug who beat up a NY Mets fan outside of Dodgers Stadium following a 2015 Playoff game has copped a plea that will land him in jail for 14 days ... officials say.

28-year-old Michael Papayans struck a plea deal with prosecutors for the incident -- in which officials say he punched a 50-year-old in the head and knocked him out cold.

Officials say Papayans' mother initially confronted the group of Mets fans and a verbal dispute ensued. Michael ultimately threw the punch that knocked the man out.

When the man hit the ground, he slammed his head on the pavement, causing serious head injuries.

As part of the plea deal, Papayans must also complete 80 days of community service and enroll in an anger management course. He must also pay more than $100,000 in restitution.

His official sentencing won't take place until 2018 -- and there's always a chance the judge could reject the deal -- but that's unlikely at this point.

Stone Cold's bloody face? Ultimate Warrior BEATING Hulk Hogan? Virgil finally getting revenge on the Million Dollar Man??

So many great WrestleMania moments ... but Brooke Hogan says NOTHING holds a candle to her father's greatest 'Mania feat -- the slam that shocked the world in 1987.

You know the one ... Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant.

Brooke wanted to send a little reminder to The New Day (the guys hosting WrestleMania 33) -- aim high ... but good luck topping this.

Ole Miss University just hit its own football team with a 1-year Bowl game ban -- after admitting it broke several NCAA recruiting rules.

School officials -- including head football coach Hugh Freeze -- just copped to 3 definite violations.

1) A football recruit went hunting on land owned by a booster during his visit in 2013.

2) Recruits got illegal lodging, transportation and $235 in free meals between 2014 and 2015

3) The former Ole Miss staff member involved in incident 2 lied to the school about the incident

There's a 4th allegation -- that an Ole Miss staffer paid a recruit between $13k and $15k in cash between 2014 and 2015 ... but the school says it's still investigating the cash payments.

By the way, the alleged recruit did NOT end up attending Ole Miss.

There are more allegations including improper visits and free food to recruits but the school says it is contesting essentially every other claim but the top 4.

Bottom line ... no bowl game for Ole Miss in 2017.

"Family Matters" star Darius McCrary is terrorizing his wife and infant -- allegedly holding the little girl over boiling water once ... this according to the wife who just got a restraining order against him.

Tammy Brawner says McCrary went nuts on Feb. 10 ... hurling picture frames and other objects around the house, and hitting her in the head with his forearm. She says the objects he threw came dangerously close to their 16-month-old daughter, Zoey.

Where Zoey's concerned ... Tammy says McCrary has abused her on several instances, including one particularly horrifying time when he held the baby over a boiling pot of water and said he wished he never had her. In docs obtained by TMZ, she also accuses him of frequent spankings and strapping down Zoey's arms during meals.

Tammy, a former Harlem Globetrotter, says the actor regularly drinks, does drugs and comes home wasted and violent.

A judge has ordered Darius to move out of their home, and he must stay 100 yards away from Tammy and Zoey. He's also barred from visitation until after a court hearing next month. Tammy says she plans to file for divorce.

McCrary's rep hasn't gotten back to us yet.

Greg Hardy is taking his MMA training up a notch -- working on his fighting style with Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva ... and we've finally got video of the ex-NFL star in action.

Hardy has been working out with American Top Team in Florida -- hoping to take a pro MMA fight sometime in the future.

We're told he's been taking his training VERY seriously ... and our sources say he's winning over people at the gym. The fighters and the coaches really like him.

Still no word on what his pro fighting timetable is ... but hopefully we'll see him in action before the end of the year.

If we told you Kevin Durant got straight balled up by "Chappelle's Show" star Donnell Rawlings there's no way you'd believe us right? We didn't think so ...

Turns out it TOTALLY happened ... and Donnell not only told the tale to TMZ Sports when we got him out at the Hollywood Improv Tuesday night -- he also provided VIDEO EVIDENCE!

It went down at a charity game in DC a few years back when Rawlings stole the ball from KD, then pushed the rock hard up the court to drain a smooth three.

Almost as dope as the moment itself? Donnell says he ran into Durant during All-Star Weekend in New Orleans and brought it up to him, and KD totally remembered.

Check it out below ... sorry we ever doubted you, Donnell.

Prosecutors believe Aaron Hernandez's 2015 prison phone conversations with NFL star Mike Pouncey could help prove Aaron murdered two people in 2012.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs in which prosecutors are asking the judge in the case to admit transcripts of the phone calls as evidence in Aaron's double murder trial.

Essentially, prosecutors believe the calls show Hernandez uses the word "try" as a way to describe being disrespected ... and talks to Pouncey about how he responds when someone "tries" him.

Officials say Hernandez felt the victims in the homicide case were "trying" him before he shot them to death later that night.

The first phone call with Pouncey went down on April 3, 2015:

"During this call, the defendant talks about how he has changed and now he would not want to even go in a club if there were 'black people there' because if they (referring to he and the Pounceys) go in 'imagine if I go in the club with y’all n*ggas and n*ggas try you, you already know what time it is, feel me?'"

"This statement is relevant as an example of the defendant’s use of the word 'try,' referring to being disrespected. Bradley will testify (and likely be subject to vigorous cross-examination) that the defendant repeatedly told him that he felt that people -- and, ultimately the homicide victims in this case -- were 'trying' him."

The second Pouncey phone call took place on April 28, 2015:

"During this call, [Hernandez] stated words to the effect of, 'I’m going to get another tattoo that looks like a stop sign that will say, ‘Beware, no hesitation.’ [Hernandez] said, 'You feel me? Like try me and there’s no hesitation.'"

"Again, as set forth above, this statement is relevant to the defendant’s use of the word 'try' and ongoing perception that others were 'trying him' -- and suggest how the defendant responds when tried."

Hernandez is accused of killing Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Furtado as retaliation for someone in their group accidentally bumping into him at a nightclub.

Hernandez and Pouncey played college football together at the University of Florida and stayed friends for years.

Tom Brady is going all Carrie Mathison in his search for his missing Super Bowl jersey -- issuing a "Suspect Board" with all the possible suspects ... including Lady Gaga, Julian Edelman and the kid from "Billy Madison."

It's pretty funny ... Tom even pokes fun at the $500,000 value he gave the Houston Police Dept.

Also listed ... The "Crab People" from "South Park," Jaws (because of his violent history) ... and the creepy courtroom sketch of himself from the Deflategate hearings.

Good luck ...

CBS honcho Les Moonves reportedly makes $60 MILLION per year!!!!

And even HE thinks $500,000 for Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey is an INSANE number.

Interesting thing is Les would probably be a real contender to buy the jersey if it's ever recovered and put up for sale ... he's a huge Patriots fan who loves Tom Brady.
