Mike Vick wants to be the next King of Comedy -- at least, behind the scenes -- and that's why he's throwing his first major stand-up event, the Michael Vick Comedy Explosion ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The New York Jets QB announced he's producing the July 12th event in Shreveport, LA -- which will be hosted by Tony Rock ... and feature stand-up from 5 "nationally recognized" comics.

"Sometimes, you just have to laugh. We have put together a hilarious group of comedians and we are going to have a blast on the bayou," Vick said.

Tickets range from $47 all the way up to $202 for the VIP package -- which includes an autographed Vick photo, a meet-and-greet with Vick and his "celebrity friends" and a mystery "schwag bag."

10-year-old skateboard phenom Asher Bradshaw was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a mild concussion after a frightening collision during a competition this weekend ... this according to Asher's manager.

Johnny Manziel doesn't order champagne by the glass ... he orders it by the bottle ... and yesterday, the Browns QB pounded a bottle of Moet during the USA World Cup match.

Johnny Futbol was hangin' at Galway Hooker Irish Pub in Houston, TX -- standing in the crowded bar with a bunch of other people as the U.S. gave away a victory to Team Portugal.

Sources at the bar tell us ... Manziel arrived to the bar with a pretty mystery blonde -- unclear if the woman was Chantel Jeffries ... who he had been seen with around town earlier in the weekend.

FYI -- Chantel has been connected to a whole bunch of big stars ... including DeSean Jackson and Justin Bieber.

There musta been storm clouds following Floyd Mayweather this weekend ... 'cause dude made it rain HARD in a Miami strip club ... throwing around $100k in cash ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Mayweather rolled into E11even to celebrate DJ Irie's birthday -- with a backpack that we're told contained $100k in greenbacks (Floyd was showing off some of the cash on his Instagram page earlier that day).

Our strip club sources tell us ... Jamie Foxx and Diddy were also in the building -- and at one point Diddy called every stripper down to the floor while the guys threw around fist-fulls of cash.

It's not like it's a big deal to them -- according to Forbes, Diddy is worth around $700 mil ... and Floyd made $105 mil over the past 12 months alone.

It's good to be rich.

A Virginia politician is standing strong behind the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's decision to cancel the trademark on the term "Redskins" ... telling TMZ Sports the move was simply the "right thing to do."

We spoke to Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) ... who was very strong about his belief the name of the of NFL team is disrespectful ... and needs to be changed, ASAP.

In fact, Moran's got advice for team officials -- saying, "They should give the football team a name that's respectful of all Americans ... particularly Native Americans."

Moran has previously explained ... that the name "Redskins" applied to scalps -- "There were posters that would provide a certain amount of money for each Redskin, for each native American scalp."

Alexi Lalas wants everyone to STOP PICKING ON MICHAEL BRADLEY ... claiming it wasn't his fault Team USA blew it against Portugal yesterday -- instead, he's pointing the finger at 2 other players.

Let's face it ... Bradley has been under fire for the way he nonchalantly gave up the ball in the final seconds of the match ... leading to a Cristiano Ronaldo-assisted goal with time winding down.

But Lalas is adamant ... the blame doesn't belong with Bradley -- tweeting out to the critics, "Stop it. The goal was not because Michael Bradley lost the ball. It wasn't a complicated play. Defenders needed to defend."

Boom -- calling out the defenders ... Alejandro Bedoya and DaMarcus Beasley.

Adrien Broner got DROPPED in the middle of a Miami street the other day ... after embarrassingly crashing his motor-scooter into a parked car ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

You gotta see this ... the boxing stud was just beginning a South Beach scooter street session with friends when things went horribly wrong.

Even when he got back on the ride, the 24-year-old had problems starting it up again ... just a total disaster.

The good news? Broner and the car were unharmed.

NFL Star Michael Bennett is officially out of the dog house ... settling a 5-figure debt with a doggy hotel where he abandoned a puppy last year ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... the former Tampa Bay Bucs player star ditched his 4-month-old boxer puppy Koa at the Lucky Dog Boarding Facility in Tampa Bay in 2013 when he signed with the Seattle Seahawks.

Lucky Dog claimed they tried like hell to get ahold of Bennett -- but he kept blowing them off and never paid the bill.

But after months of chasing the guy ... and 3 months after M.B signed his new $28 million contract with Seattle ... the attorney for Lucky Dog tells us they FINALLY got a check from Bennett for $10k ... thus, ending the legal war for good.

As for Koa, he doesn't just have a new home -- thanks to the Florida Boxer Rescue -- he also has a new name ... Quigley!

We're told the pup is "doing great" ... and has grown into a healthy, beautiful, smart and friendly dog who's loved by his new family.

Frightening moment for 10-year-old skateboard phenom Asher Bradshaw this weekend -- when the prodigy collided with another boarder at a competition in Venice -- and smacked his head into a wall, HARD.

TMZ Sports was rollin' when Bradshaw -- who became famous for being the youngest skater to pull off a 900 earlier this year -- entered the bowl, smashed into another competitor and went wildly spinning into the air.

In a terrifying moment, Bradshaw was whipped into one of the side ramps -- head first -- with his helmet smacking the wall so hard, you could hear the crack over the crowd noise.

After the collision, Bradshaw came up holding his wrist in pain -- and complained about pain in his fingers and around his spine -- but CONTINUED TO RIDE in the competition.

Some people were SHOCKED by Team England's choke job at the World Cup -- but the guys from Def Leppard tell TMZ Sports they saw it coming from a mile away.

Rick Allen (drummer) and Phil Collen (guitar) -- both born and raised in England -- were at LAX this weekend when they told us losing the W.C. is just part of the Brit's DNA these days.

"They're just not very ... they haven't quite got it," Collen says ... "I think they just haven't got the get-up and go. That's been the British thing."

So, what's the solution? It doesn't sound like these guys think there is one.

Cryme Tyme IS BACK -- only now, the former WWE tag team is going by a different name ... sorta.

JTG and Shad Gaspard met up for a gym session Saturday in Venice ... and told our photog they're excited to hit the road again following JTG's recent release from the company.

Check out the video to hear the name change and why it went down, how JTG feels about being fired ... and of course, their famous catchphrase.

DeSean Jackson is a cry-baby and a loser ... who can't accept the fact he lost a legal war with his ex-agent ... so says that ex-agent Drew Rosenhaus who's blasting the WR in new legal docs.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... DeSean filed court docs against Rosenhaus earlier this month hoping to overturn an arbitration ruling in which D.S. was ordered to pay D.R. more than $500k in unpaid loans, fees and penalties.

In the docs, Jackson argued the arbitrator's ruling should be rendered invalid because the arbitrator had a bias in favor of Rosenhaus ... and therefore, he shouldn't have to fork over a single cent.

Now, Rosenhaus is firing back in legal docs of his own ... saying Jackson is wasting everyone's time, since Jackson and Rosenhaus had AGREED to abide by the arbitrator's ruling before the arbitration hearing ever began.

Drew claims DeSean filed his "scandalous" lawsuit to smear Drew's name in the media -- and wants a judge to hit the Redskins star with a $50,000 fine to "discourage such baseless litigation" in the future.

Good news L.A. Sparks fan ... Candace Parker will NOT be prosecuted for allegedly threatening to kick some dude's ass after a car crash last week ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Let's get serious ... if Candace wanted to kick the guy's ass, she would've done it -- she's kind of a badass.

But the L.A. County District Attorney decided the guy who claims he was in fear of a C-Parker smackdown after the two got into it on the campus of L.A. Southwest college didn't have enough evidence to prove the 6'4" baller committed a crime.

So the case against Parker was dropped ... and now she can focus 100% of her attention on beating the crap out of the San Antonio Stars this afternoon.

He may be a racist ... and an ahole ... but when it comes to dollars and cents, disgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling is a LEGEND in the investment community ... so says "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary.

Mr. Wonderful was out in L.A. last night when we asked about the risks of investing in pro sports franchises ... and that's when the financial genius brought up Sterling.

"I think sports teams are based on losing money while you own them and hoping somebody else pays a lot more later. That has certainly been the truth. I mean the Sterling situation really accentuates that."

He continued, "[Sterling] put $12 million in play and now [the Clippers are] worth $2 billion? Very. Smart. Man."

9:00 AM PT -- Cops say Solo appeared "intoxicated and upset" when police arrived to the house.

Cops also say one of the victims -- Hope's nephew -- is 17-years-old.

Officials also say the person who initially called 911 told the operator a female was "hitting people."

Solo is due in court on Monday.

Team USA soccer goalie Hope Solo was arrested in Seattle early Saturday morning after allegedly beating up her sister and her nephew ... this according to police.

He's a 4-time Mr. Olympia ... he's got 21-inch biceps -- so you'd have to be an IDIOT to challenge Jay Cutler to an arm-wrestling match on the street ... right?

Well, good news ... we've got that idiot!!!

All 275-pounds of Jay Cutler were out in NYC the other day ... when our TMZ Sports photog (who's been working out btw) decided to challenge the guy to an "Over the Top" style showdown.
