Darrelle Revis Friend Tells Judge I KO'd Guys In TMZ Knockout Video
11:49 AM PT -- The judge in the case just DISMISSED all charges against Revis.
Darrelle Revis' childhood friend just testified in court that it was HIS voice on video admitting to knocking out two men in a Pittsburgh street fight back in February.
Revis is in court to face 4 felony charges connected to the incident in which he's accused of beating up 2 men outside a bar.
In footage shot immediately after the fight (and posted by TMZ Sports) you hear a man say, "I knocked both of these motherf**kers out!"
Revis' friend says he not only made the comments in the footage but fessed up to KO'ing the men as well. The friend was in court along with his own attorney.
The friend says he only got involved because the other men had jumped Revis -- and he pulled them off and fought back to protect himself.
Story developing ...

Anheuser-Busch Sued You Can't Have Spuds MacKenzie He's Our Party Dog Now!
Anheuser-Busch has no business using the ghost of Spuds MacKenzie to sell Bud Light because that doggy don't bark for the beer giant anymore ... according to a new lawsuit.
Spuds Ventures says it currently owns the rights to the beer-drinking party dog from the late '80s, and Anheuser-Busch completely screwed them by bringing Spuds back for a Super Bowl 51 ad without getting permission.
According to the docs ... A-B abandoned its Spuds MacKenzie campaign more than 20 years ago amid controversy the dog made beer kid-friendly. In 2013 Spuds Ventures swooped in to take ownership of Spuds.
Spuds Ventures says Anheuser only objected last year to its purchase of the dog's rights ... as the brewery was gearing up for its Super Bowl commercial.
SV is suing for damages and any profits Anheuser made off its Spuds reboot commercial.

LaVar Ball Family Home Burglarized During High School Game (Update)
9:45 AM PT -- LaVar Ball just spoke about the incident ... saying it appears only a window was broken at the home.
He then told ESPN, "I wish I was there! It ain't hard to get in my home ... it's hard to get out."
The family home of LaVar Ball -- and his 3 superstar sons -- was hit by burglars in Chino Hills Tuesday night while LiAngelo and LaMelo were playing in a televised high school playoff game.
TMZ Sports has learned ... neighbors heard a suspicious crash sound at the Ball home around 8 PM and immediately called police.
We're told cops raced to the scene and when they got there, they saw a pile of Ball family belongings in the center of the home ... as if they'd been rounded up.
Our law enforcement sources tell us the operating theory is that due to the quick response of neighbors and cops, the bad guys didn't get the chance to make off with the goods before police arrived ... so they left the loot and bolted.
We're told cops are on the case ... taking fingerprints and looking for surveillance video. At one point, cops even used a helicopter to search for the suspects.
As for the Ball family, we're told it's typical for cops to instruct victims to go through their house and check for missing items.
A rep for the family tells us, "Everybody is safe."

Rob Gronkowski Blasted By Movie Co-Star ... You Sucked! (Update)
9:58 AM PT -- Sources close to Gronk tell TMZ Sports his absence isn't personal, he's focusing on rehabbing his back after surgery.
We're told Gronk never did the movie as a serious stepping stone for his acting career, but rather as a favor for a friend involved in the production.
As one Gronk source put it, "Movie promotion is NOT a priority, his health and career are."
There is no lovefest behind the scenes of Rob Gronkowski's new movie -- with one of his co-stars RIPPING the NFL star for botching his lines on set ... and bailing on promoting the flick.
Joanna Krupa says she flew in from Poland for the premiere of "You Can't Have It" -- in which Rob plays a cop investigating a violent situation at a bar -- but Gronk's gone M.I.A. and she's pissed.
JK claims Gronk's done virtually no publicity and says, "To me, he's not a big team player."
We reached out to Gronk's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.
