TMZ Sports has obtained the Lawrence Taylor DUI video from the night he crashed into a cop car on a Florida highway ... and it shows the NFL legend was wobbly and confused before having a medical emergency while in handcuffs.

Here's Fat Joe telling TMZ Sports about the time he almost got the HELL KICKED OUTTA HIM by Roy Jones Jr. ... and it was all over one of Joe's most favorite rap lines.

You might remember Ja Rule's 2004 hit "New York" which featured Joe and contained a line where the rapper makes reference to Roy's career struggles at the time, having been KO'd by Antonio Tarver.

"Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back," went the line.

Roy was none too pleased about the line -- which he interpreted as a diss -- and according to Joe actually threatened to beat the hell outta him, although in the end cooler heads prevailed.

Joe says they're all on good terms now.

We reached out to Roy about the whole thing ... and he confirmed to us it's 100% true, saying he was "furious" at the time ... but he's let it go.

So, all is well ... now listen to the track. It's still fire!

Robert Griffin III is a proud papa for a second time ... his fiance just announced the birth of their daughter.

Grete Sadeiko announced Tuesday she gave birth to Gloria who was born Sunday and came in at a healthy 6 pounds, 12 ounces.

Grete wrote on Instagram, "Couldn't have done it without this man by my side, my backbone. Trying to make me laugh every way possible and keeping me entertained through all the pain and doing everything to make me smile and get through this. You deserve a medal baby!"

The NFL and Florida State track star got engaged back in May ... on the same day she announced she was preggo with Robert's kid.

Joey Chestnut is a BEAST because he ate like one ... scarfing down a record 72 HOT DOGS to win his second straight Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Joey blew away the competition Tuesday in Coney Island to win his 10th title. He had set a record last year with 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Carmen Cincotti finished second with 60 hot dogs and his rival, Matt Stonie, never came close ... finishing third with 48 franks.

Not to be outdone ... Miki Sudo chowed down a personal-best 41 hot dogs to win her fourth straight women's title.

UFC fighter Sam Alvey is usually the one bringing the pain on the mat ... but he had the tables turned on him when he got choked out by a U.S. soldier in Iraq.

One of the most dominant players in high school hoops is sick of the NBA's "one & done" rule ... telling TMZ Sports the mandate isn't fair and needs to go away ... forever.

We talked to to 7'1'' high school star Moses Brown at LAX-- the 6th ranked player in the class of 2018 according to ESPN -- and asked him about the NBA's one and done rule.

If you didn't know, prep studs like Moses have to play at least one year of college basketball before heading off to the pros, and some of the kids (and their parents) think that's bogus.

Add Moses to that list, 'cause he told us he WISHES he could hit the league straight out of high school, saying the rule is holding him and his fellow super talents back.

BTW -- Moses hasn't chosen a college yet, but GUARANTEED us he'll be a one and done when he does. So don't get too used to seeing him in college.

UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar is back and ready to BRING THE PAIN -- in a pro wrestling ring!

Bonnar's been out of the fight game for a few years ... but The American Psycho told TMZ Sports he and Phil Baroni (another MMA great) are about to lay the smackdown in the squared circle.

"The Real Shooters (Bonnar and Baroni's tag-team) are gonna come put a hurting on you," Bonnar said. "I really enjoy inflicting pain on people."

Bonnar's first match is at a bowling alley ... but he's guaran-damn-teeing that fans will get their money's worth.

Or -- save your cash for The Legends Room ... Bonnar's futuristic, paperless strip club where you can make it rain digital dollars!

No athlete can match the fast feet of Marshawn Lynch -- not even Cristiano Ronaldo ... says the footwork specialist whose trained both.

Beast Mode just got in some drills with Luis Badillo Jr. (AKA the dude with the world's fastest feet) up in the Bay ... and Marshawn straight-up wrecked his course IN THE SAND.

Badillo couldn't believe what he was seeing -- telling TMZ Sports the Raiders RB had the best footwork of any sports star he's ever worked with ... including Ronaldo and Olympic sprinter Asafa Powell.

Feet Mode -- activated.

NFL defenses -- screwed.

Tiger Woods is out of the woods for his issues with prescription pills ... at least that's what he's claiming now.

Tiger posted a message Monday saying he completed an out of state "private intensive program" to deal with his medication problem that got him busted for DUI in May.

He goes on to say he'll continue to tackle his problem with the help of his doctors, family and friends.

We broke the story ... Tiger was found by cops asleep at the wheel while driving in Florida. He failed a field sobriety test that was captured on video, and later blew zeros on a breathalyzer ... meaning he was not intoxicated with alcohol.

Tiger blamed the DUI on a bad mix of prescription pills ... for which he said he'd be getting "professional help." Seems like the job's all done.

Venus Williams broke down in tears Monday at a press conference when asked about the fatal car crash she's being blamed for ... and was left utterly speechless mid-sentence.

The tennis super star was doing a presser after her opening match win at Wimbledon, and when someone asked her about her car crash last month that left an elderly man dead ... she got very emotional and could not continue speaking.

We broke the story ... Venus is being sued for wrongful death after she was found at fault in a car accident that left 78-year-old Jerome Barson dead. Cops say she impeded oncoming traffic by trying to get past a street light.

The players on UCLA's men's basketball team ran into some super stars before a summer work out this holiday weekend ... none other than Kanye West and 2 Chainz!

The team rolled into the university's Wooden Center gym for a scheduled practice Monday, only to find 'Ye, 2 Chainz and some of their friends warming up the court with a game of their own.

The team did not play with the 2 rap stars, but rather just talked and posed for some pics ... including one of 'Ye with head coach Steve Alford.

As we reported ... Kanye had 2 Chainz and his family over for dinner Sunday night.

Chauncey Billups might wanna put his consideration for the Cleveland Cavaliers front office job on hold ... 'cause he is KILLIN' it in Ice Cube's BIG3 League.

Chauncey played a game Sunday night at the Spectrum Center in North Carolina, and he looked like his old self ... draining 3's and setting up his teammates to score.

As we reported ... the ex-NBA baller was offered a front office job with the Cavs, and he's reportedly still mulling that over. He told reporters Sunday after his game that a decision should come in the next few days.

The only potential snag ... if Chauncey takes the job, he might have to ditch Cube's league mid-season. And as Cube said, he's got a contract with the guy. Problem?

9:25 AM PT -- Multiple reports Monday allege Billups has turned down the Cleveland job.

Joey Chestnut -- the greatest wiener gobbler of all time -- has some tough talk for his hot dog rival Matt Stonie ... I'M GONNA CRUSH YOU AND YOUR SKINNY JEANS!!

With just hours until Chestnut tries to defend his title at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island ... Joey's telling TMZ Sports why Stonie's gonna get chewed up and spit out.

He also takes a shot at Stonie's fashion.

But here's the problem for Joey ... Stonie's been KILLIN' IT on the competitive eating circuit and recently put down FOUR In-N-Out 4X4 burgers in 2 minutes, 59 secs!!!

For those who don't know ... a 4X4 is basically a tall ass burger with 4 patties and 4 slices of cheese. It's a lot of food.

We told Joey about the results and he laughed at Matt's slow ass.

Oh it's on now!!!

LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips is being investigated for rape -- after a female LSU student athlete filed a report with police ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Phillips has not been arrested or charged with a crime -- but we've confirmed the Baton Rouge PD is actively working on the case. We're told he strongly denies any wrongdoing.

Here's what we know ... cops were called to a Baton Rouge hospital on June 11 to respond to a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Phillips early that morning.

18-year-old Phillips was a prized recruit for LSU -- he was ranked as one of the top high school linebackers in the country.

Sources with direct knowledge of the case tell us ... the accuser claims she had a previous romantic relationship with Phillips but had cut things off before the alleged incident.

The accuser told police she very clearly turned down Phillips' sexual advancements on June 11 -- but he kept going. We're told the woman insists she repeatedly told Phillips to leave but he refused.

The woman went to the hospital a few hours later where a rape kit was administered and police took photos of bruises she claims she sustained in the alleged rape.

Cops are actively investigating. Sources connected to Phillips tell us he insists he did NOT rape the accuser.

It's time for NHL star Tyler Seguin to LISTEN UP ... your ridiculously hot Playboy Playmate ex still has the hots for you dude ... and she let TMZ Sports know when we got her out in Hollywood.

We got Miss November 2011 Ciara Price hitting the town with some of her other Playmate friends (including Miss January 2013 Karina Marie) and peppered the ladies with a couple of fun questions.

Among them was which sport has the hottest athletes, and which athlete is the hottest of all?

The ladies agreed it was hockey ... but no one named a name EXCEPT Ciara, and her #1 hottie was Tyler Seguin, who she admitted was her ex-boyfriend.

We did some digging, and it looks like the two dated back in 2012, and from what we can see, Tyler's not totally out of her system yet.

So ... remix maybe?

Tony Hawk is ready to toss his balls at White Goodman and the rest of his Globo Gym cronies ... and tells TMZ Sports he has a wish list of Average Joe's he wants with him -- starting with LEBRON JAMES.

You already know Hawk and some of the biggest stars in the world like LeBron, The Rock, and Justin Bieber were called out by Ben Stiller (White) to compete in a dodgeball death match for Stiller's charity.

Tony already said he's in ... and basically told us he's more Team LeBron than Team Joe's.

"LeBron, I want him on my team ... even if he's going to the other team," Hawk said. "I want him by my side throwing balls."

No word from the King yet, but chances seem good ... dodging balls from Stiller sounds a lot safer than dodging nut shots from Draymond Green.
