Pro Wrestler Bret Hart Older Bro, Smith Hart, Dead at 68
Smith Hart -- the oldest sibling of the Hart wrestling family, and brother to Bret Hart -- has died after a battle with cancer.
Former WWE wrestler David Hart Smith -- Smith's nephew -- posted a message Sunday saying his uncle had died. Smith's own Facebook page posted a message as well confirming his death.
Smith was the oldest of 12 in the Hart wrestling family, and appeared in WrestleMania 26 alongside his younger brother, Bret ... who wrestled Vince McMahon in 2010. Smith wrestled professionally through the '70s, '80s and '90s, and made appearances on WWF and WWE.
Smith was apparently foreshadowing his death for a while now. He posted a pic of himself at his younger brother Owen's grave site ... with the caption "Thought I'd visit with Owen today. I'll see you soon brother." Owen died tragically in 1999 during a WWF pay-per-view event due to an equipment malfunction.
Smith has been in the hospital fighting terminal cancer since at least June of this year.
He was 68.

JULY 2017

"I went through it myself, I got off. He'll get off."
As far as Tiger's legacy ... McDonald says arrest or no arrest Tiger's legacy is secured.
"He's been a hero of mine and a hero of America for a long time. One of the greatest golfers ever."

Blake Griffin Compared to MLK, Lincoln and More ... On Controversial T-Shirt
The L.A. Clippers apparently didn't learn from Kendall and Kylie -- using historical images on t-shirts is a dicey game to play ... and one that often ends in an L.
The Clips just convinced Blake Griffin to re-sign with the team for 5 years and $173 million, and reportedly used this "Pioneers" t-shirt to help seal the deal.
The shirt features the faces of Martin Luther King Jr., JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Einstein, Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali ... with Griffin towering above them. Team employees reportedly wore the shirt during the final meeting with Blake.
Obviously, people are ripping into it ... calling it tone-deaf, laughable and downright moronic.
Hey, at least there are no rap or rock icons on there.

Charlie Sheen Babe Ruth Memorabilia Hauls in Over $4 Million!!!
Charlie Sheen is still winning.
The actor and avid sports fan sold an iconic piece of memorabilia -- Babe Ruth's 1927 New York Yankees World Series ring -- for a whopping $2,093,927 via auction Friday night. But he wasn't done there ... he also hauled in $2,303,920 for an original copy of the sale document that sent Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yanks in 1919.
That's $4.4 mil if you're keeping track.
We actually got Sheen out in Studio City, CA Friday before the Lelands.com auction was complete and asked him why he was unloading his Babe Ruth gear. His answer was very Charlie.
So was his answer for whether or not he's trading Ruth's ring for an engagement ring.

O.J. Simpson Glove Demo Still Defended by Chris Darden
Christopher Darden thinks the O.J. Simpson glove demo was one of the greatest moves in the history of jurisprudence ... the question -- greatest for who?
Darden is featured on "The Jury Speaks," an Oxygen show that will air July 22. TMZ has obtained a clip in which Darden seems to still stand behind his decision to have O.J. try on the bloody glove that was used by the murderer.
It's stunning ... Darden blames Simpson for making it appear the glove didn't fit -- which is exactly why a chorus of critics felt it was a super bad decision to allow him to do the demo in front of the jury.
And speaking of the jury ... check out the juror who clearly bought Johnny Cochran's famous line hook, line and sinker ... "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."

Donald Trump Golf Clubs Hit Auction Block
Donald Trump is one of the most polarizing political figures in American history, but there's actually a consensus on his golf skills ... and now those skills can rub off on you if the price is right.
RR Auction is hawking TaylorMade clubs that were swung by Trump at his course in Bedminster, NJ more than 10 years ago. They were gifted to his personal caddie, Andrew Lombardo.
The irons are engraved with "D. Trump." The future Prez later changed his signature engraving to "DJT1."
The auction house is hoping the clubs will fetch around $30k.
Sounds high, right? But fact is ... Trump's an excellent golfer with a 3 handicap.
Here's the thing ... even if you buy the clubs, don't think you can drive the golf cart on the green.

Nick Diaz Smokes Fatty Joint Hours After USADA Suspension
How did Nick Diaz respond Thursday after getting provisionally suspended by the UFC's drug-testing organization???
HE SMOKED WEEEEEEEEEED, SON!
Diaz fired up a fat joint with some friends in Vegas and didn't seem to have a care in the world after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced Nick accumulated 3 whereabouts failures over the last 12 months.
In other words, when USADA comes calling, you have to check in -- and Diaz didn't. Three times.
No word yet on how long the ban's gonna last ... but it's not lookin' good for Diaz -- who was suspended 18 months after a third failed drug test in 2015 (all for weed).
Diaz has 14 days to contest the violation ... if he wants to.
The last time we spoke with Dana White, he didn't seem too confident that either Diaz brother would ever fight again.

Klay was at a shoe store in China to promote his new Anta brand kicks -- and had to bust a move for the culture. We think it was a kinda goofy routine ... but the Splash Bro liked it. A LOT.
#ChinaKlay was feelin' himself so hard ... he kept it flowing even after the track cut out.
FYI, this ain't the first time KT went HAM on his shoe tour.
