Terry Bradshaw says Gisele hung Tom Brady out to dry by talking about his alleged concussions on national TV ... telling TMZ Sports, "My wife would never say that."

In fact, Terry suspects Tom is really upset over the situation -- "I would imagine someone's having a talk with somebody."

"I don't know why she would say that," Bradshaw added ... while explaining that when it comes to private health matters, it's not up to the spouse to share that information with the world.

"That's my wife right there and she'd never say a word," Terry said pointing to Tammy.

Terry's wife says it's not a black and white issue ... it's complicated.

The good news ... Terry's confident Tom and Gisele will ultimately work things out.

The NFL is disputing Gisele's claims that Tom Brady secretly suffered a concussion during the 2016 season ... saying there's no evidence the Patriots QB suffered any sort of head injury.

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy just issued a statement saying, "We have reviewed all reports relating to Tom Brady from the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants and certified athletic trainer spotters who worked at Patriots' home and away 2016 season games as well as club injury reports that were sent to the league office."

"There are no records that indicate that Mr. Brady suffered a head injury or concussion, or exhibited or complained of concussion symptoms."

"Today we have been in contact with the NFLPA and will work together to gather more information from the club's medical staff and Mr. Brady."

"The health and safety of our players is our foremost priority and we want to ensure that all our players have and continue to receive the best care possible."

UFC superstar Demetrious Johnson has some tough love for Ronda Rousey -- "You got your ass beat, grow the f*ck up."

Johnson has won 12 straight fights -- but says if he does get defeated, he does NOT want to handle the loss the way Ronda did after getting her face kicked in by Holly Holm.

"You look at Ronda Rousey. You got your ass beat, grow the f*ck up," DJ told Sports Illustrated ... "It happens. It's mixed martial arts. I don't want to be like that. If I lose, I'll be like, I lost."

Ronda essentially went into hiding for months before taking a fight more than a year later.

"Everybody f*cking loses. It's part of the sport. Grow up. Look, Ronda, you lost two f*cking fights in a row, and you made more f*cking money than the women's roster."

Johnson's referring to the $3 mil (plus PPV revenue) Ronda banked for UFC 207 -- the fight where she got crushed by Amanda Nunes and then blew off the post-fight news conference.

Shaq says the Lakers shouldn't let LaVar Ball scare them off from taking Lonzo Ball with their #2 pic ... 'cause despite the media circus that follows the Big Baller, his kid's game is "fabulous."

The Big Diesel hasn't always been the biggest fan of the Ball clan -- he publicly dissed the price of Lonzo's new shoe ... saying $495 was way too much for kids to pay.

That was then ... because O'Neal had nothing but kind words to say about Zo when we got him out in NYC, telling our guy he's not sure what the Lake Show will do with the pick, but Ball isn't a bad idea.

Gisele is a heroic whistle-blower who did an "angelic" thing by going public with Tom Brady's secret concussion history ... so says the doctor who discovered CTE, Bennet Omalu.

Omalu is the real life person that inspired the movie "Concussion" -- he was famously played by Will Smith. He also wrote the book, 'Truth Doesn't Have a Side' about the dangers of contact sports.

So, how did he react when he saw Gisele finally reveal Tom's concussion history on television? He praised her.

"I believe it is something angelic to speak up," Omalu says ... "She's an angel. An angel of truth and an angel of love."

He added, "The truth will always prevail. We should not be afraid of the truth because of the inconvenience of the truth. But when we embrace the truth, just like Gisele has done, the truth is empowering, is enlightening and is vindicating."

"So, [Gisele] is my hero."

The NFL Players Association is "looking into" the statements made by Gisele about Tom Brady suffering a concussion last year that was not reported in NFL injury reports.

After Gisele appeared on "CBS This Morning" and told Charlie Rose about Tom's secret history of concussions ... we reached out to the NFLPA for comment.

We were told, "Right now, we have no official statement, but we are looking into."

Gisele's comments have sparked all sorts of questions -- with people wondering if Tom or the Patriots intentionally hid the information from the NFL so Tom wouldn't have to miss game time.

We've also reached out to Tom and the Patriots for comment -- so far, no official comments from either camp.

More vile allegations involving the Baylor football team ... this time a former Baylor women's volleyball player claims she was gang raped by a group of football players in 2012.

The woman, who identifies herself as Jane Doe,

-- claiming she was "brutally gang raped by at least four and, according to some reports, as many as eight, Baylor football players." The woman notes Art Briles was the head coach at the time.

In her suit, the woman claims she was at a party when she was "drugged" by football players -- picked up and carried into one of the football players' truck.

She remembers being taken to a bedroom where she was "lying on her back, unable to move and staring at glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling as the football players took turns raping her."

The woman claims she remembers hearing the players yell, "Grab her phone! Delete my numbers and texts" ... in an apparent effort to get rid of damning evidence.

In her suit, she claims at least one of the players took nude photos of her during the gang rape.

There's more ... after she reported the incident to the Baylor counseling center, she claims the Baylor football team sought retribution. She claims several players broke into her apartment and ransacked her room, stealing money and other belongings.

The woman claims she reported the burglary to the Waco PD but no charges were pressed.

She claims the football players continued to threaten and harass her until she left the school in 2013.

The woman is seeking unspecified damages.

Baylor has issued a statement saying, "The alleged incident outlined in the court filing occurred more than 5 years ago, and Baylor University has been in conversations with the victim’s legal counsel for many months in an attempt to reach an amicable resolution."

"As this case proceeds, Baylor maintains its ability to present facts -- as available to the University -- in response to the allegations contained in the legal filing."'

"The University’s response in no way changes Baylor’s position that any assault involving members of our campus community is reprehensible and inexcusable."

"Baylor remains committed to eliminating all forms of sexual and gender-based harassment and discrimination within our campus community."

Tom Brady suffered a football-related concussion last year that nobody knew about -- and he secretly gets concussions all the time -- so says his wife, Gisele.

The supermodel appeared on "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday and expressed frustration with Tom's health ... particularly the brain injuries he suffers on the field.

"Football ... like he had a concussion last year," Gisele said.

"I mean he has concussions pretty much every [year] ... I mean, we don't talk about. But he does have concussions."

This could be a big deal ... considering Brady was not listed on the NFL injury list for a concussion once in 2016. It begs the question ... was the injury covered up to keep him on the field?

In the NFL, if a player is diagnosed with a concussion during a game, he is NOT allowed to return to the field for the remainder of that game. He may return the following week at the discretion of his doctor.

"I don’t really think it’s a healthy thing for your body to go through like, through that kind of aggression like, all the time–that cannot be healthy for you, right?"

"I mean I’m planning on having him be healthy and do a lot of fun things when we’re like 100, I hope."

Floyd Mayweather rolls deep in Vegas -- as in, dude keeps SIX insanely expensive white RR whips worth an estimated $3 MILLION.

Here's the lineup:

Phantom Limited Edition: $580k
Ghost Extended Wheelbase: $330k
Wraith: $300k
Drophead Coupes: $500k each ($1m)
Phantom limousine: Price unknown (we're guessing high 6 figures)

By the way, this is just part of his Vegas collection -- don't forget, he's got even more crazy expensive cars at his other places. Plus a jet. And he's currently shopping for a $20 million yacht.

Think about all the new toys he'll buy if he ever signs the Conor McGregor contract ...

Could Lonzo Ball be a Boston Celtic??

It's possible ... because Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck tells TMZ Sports the team is definitely considering drafting the former UCLA stud with the #1 overall pick.

Grousbeck was leaving the NBA Draft lottery in NYC Thursday night when he told us he's fired up about securing the top spot -- "It seems like Celtic pride is going crazy right now!"

Wyc says the team hasn't made its mind up on who will be #1 -- but says they're looking about the 6 "really good guys" in the draft ... and bad news, LaVar -- that list includes Lonzo.

Of couse, LaVar has made it crystal clear he wants his son in the Purple and Gold ... but Wyc says Boston ain't exactly a bad place to end up either!

"We're a place that people would wanna come and play," Grousbeck says ... "We're doing well and room for improvement."

Magic Johnson tells TMZ Sports he's "very happy" with the L.A. Lakers locking up the #2 pick in the NBA Draft at Tuesday night's draft lottery ... but he's making it clear Lonzo Ball is NOT a lock.

The Sacramento Kings made a tremendous mistake getting rid of DeMarcus Cousins and it's gonna take 'em a long time to recover ... so says the team's former owner Gavin Maloof.

Maloof -- who co-owned the Kings with his brothers until 2013 -- was in L.A. with his GF, Katherine, when we asked if he would have pulled the trigger to ship Boogie to New Orleans if he was still in charge.

"No. No way ... No way ... No way."

Maloof said time will tell if the team made the right call -- but points out they "didn't get much in return" for Cousins and predicts, "It's gonna take 'em a long time to rebuild."

There's more ... Maloof has moved on to owning another pro sports team -- the Las Vegas Golden Knights, the new NHL expansion team.

He's pumped about sharing the town with the Raiders but explains why moving an NBA team to Sin City would be a mistake.

Marlon Wayans believes he's gotten to the root of why ex-WWE star Cameron doesn't date black men -- and let's just say size matters.

As we previously reported, Cameron -- real name Ariane Andrew -- says she's not racist, she's just more attracted to white men. She says it's simply a personal preference.

But Marlon says it's deeper than that ... pointing out that Cameron experiences a lot of physical pain as a wrestler -- "she don't want it in her vagina, too!"

Stereotypes -- they're great when they're about big penises.

Dear Patriots fans,

Here's Oakland Raiders legend Charles Woodson explaining why Tom Brady is completely immune to the Madden Curse.

Listen to Charles, he knows all about bad luck.

Get up, stand up ... and salute Bob Marley's grandson -- who just signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins.

The team announced Nico Marley -- an undrafted free agent LB out of Tulane -- has officially inked a deal with them after he impressed coaches at the team's rookie mini-camp.

What's REALLY impressive ... Nico is pretty undersized as far as NFL linebackers go ... he's only 5'8". (For the record, Bob was only 5'7")

Of course, this doesn't mean Nico will be with the team on opening day -- he still has to earn a roster spot ... but still, it's a great start.

Athletes seem to run in the family ... Nico's dad, Rohan Marley, played college football for Miami back in the day (with The Rock and Ray Lewis!) before a stint in the Canadian Football League.

Nico tweeted about the signing -- "My family and I are extremely grateful to the Washington Redskins organization ... for giving me this opportunity to prove myself in mini-camp."

"All I've ever needed was a chance to prove myself. Been hearing I'm 'too small' my whole life and that won't ever stop me."

Kevin Lee punches like a straight-up bitch ... so says Michael Chiesa, the fighter who got socked in the face by Lee at last week's big UFC media event in Dallas.

The punch punctuated ANOTHER crazy UFC media event that also included Jon Jones admitting he blew a ton of coke before fighting Daniel Cormier back in 2015.

We spoke with Chiesa about the brawl and the 7th ranked UFC lightweight said he's more confident than ever he'll crush Lee in June because the guy ... well ... "He hits like a bitch."

"That dude ran up on me and landed a flush right hand, and I ate that thing like it was breakfast."

Of course, Lee feels differently and vows to "beat the f*ck" out of Chiesa when they face off on June 25th.

This should be fun.
