Dennis Rodman tells TMZ Sports ... his role of unofficial ambassador to North Korea is still going strong -- and now plans to bring WWE-style wrestling to Kim Jong Un country.

Rodman was out in L.A. last night when he opened up about his plans -- telling us KJU expressed interest in having some Royal Rumble style action in his part of the world -- and Dennis says he's more than happy to help bring it over.

Of course, Rodman knows a little something about the wrestlin' world -- he fought alongside Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage as a member of the NWO back in the '90s.

As for Kim Jong Un, who's reportedly been M.I.A. for the past couple of weeks -- we asked Rodman if he knows where he is ... to which he cryptically replied, "We know."

Uhhh ... CIA, line 1?

But now, after finally getting his finances in order -- Walker says he's "more confident" about sharing his story ... so that other pro athletes don't make the same mistakes he did.

"I got robbed twice (at gunpoint) and my home was burglarized in 1999 ... as a result of having lots of money and some bad people around me," Walker says.

The 38-year-old says he's written a book about his financial debacle -- and also signed off on a documentary about his life called, "Gone In An Instant" -- because he believes that telling his story is something he "needed to do."

"If I can help bring down the number of athletes and entertainers who go broke ... then I feel I'm doing something to help the cause."

Snoop Dogg was a "proud papa" last night ... as his high school football superstar son helped his squad beat the #1 team in the county -- with Cordell making a few nice catches along the way.

Snoop hung out in the stands -- and in the broadcast booth -- as Bishop Gorman upset #1 ranked St. John Bosco 34-31.

As we've previously reported, Cordell is one of the best receivers in the country -- though he hasn't decided where he's gonna play college ball yet.

After the game, Snoop said he hopes C.B. picks USC ... but will ultimately support him wherever he goes.

Meantime, check out the highlights below ... and then listen to Snoop try to explain why he thinks he was BETTER than his superstar kid back when he was a pup.

This one's gotta hurt ... 50 Cent's estranged son Marquise has a new father figure in his life -- and it happens to be his biological dad's worst enemy.

Marquise posted a photo to his Facebook page .... hangin' with FLOYD MAYWEATHER!!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know 50 and Floyd hate each other's guts ... so for Marquise to post this pic -- clearly, he's trying to get under his father's skin.

50 and Marquise have a complicated relationship -- 50 hates Marquise's mother ... and hasn't really been a part of Marquise's life ... something Marquise admits he's very upset about.

Now, it seems like things have gone to "Hook" levels -- with a public war for Marquise's affection.

So far, 50 has yet to post anything about it on his Instagram ... but we're guessing it's only a matter of time.

People bring some weird stuff to college football tailgates -- livestock, hot tubs ... and now COFFINS.

There's a company that's trickin' out caskets for tailgate parties ... but instead of a corpse, the box comes loaded with high-end speakers, a flat-screen TV and a cooler ... because, beer.

The people at "Party Coffins" tell us they've already sold a couple of their pimped out caskets (which can run up to $5,500) to fans from the University of Illinois ... and they also made a sale to somone from Nebraska.

The people at Budweiser tell TMZ Sports ... the company has launched an investigation to get to the bottom of why SKUNKED beer was allegedly being sold at the stadium where the Redskins play.

The pics went viral earlier today -- showing fans at FedEx Field in Maryland holding Bud Lights with the World Cup logo on the bottle that had CLEARLY passed their freshness dates.

And how do we know? Because we typed the bottle code into the "Track Your Bud" feature on Bud's website ... and it told us the beer had gone bad.

But Bud is taking action -- at least according to Pete Kraemer, Anheuser-Busch's Vice President of Brewing and Supply.

"We work closely with our 600-plus wholesaler network to ensure beer is handled and distributed to our product quality standards ... We are working closely with the wholesaler and retailer regarding this instance."

The good news -- when we entered the old beer's code on the Bud website, it told us the company wanted to buy us a free beer.

Good thing we're over 21.

NFL star Adrian Peterson was the target of a criminal sexual assault investigation, but authorities ultimately cleared him ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the alleged incident occurred in 2011 at a party in Eden Prairie, a suburb of Minneapolis. We're told ... the woman complained to authorities and Adrian denied anything occurred without the woman's consent.

A criminal investigation was opened, and numerous witnesses were interviewed. Peterson's lawyer, Peter Wold, tells TMZ ... "all witnesses who we interviewed concurred with Adrian's story." Further, Wold tells us ... authorities tested 3 DNA samples ... 2 excluded Peterson and one was inconclusive.

Wold also says Peterson submitted to a polygraph test and the results showed he was truthful and the authorities closed the case and no charges were ever filed.

The attorney calls the allegation "a bogus story that has nothing to do with reality."

Now that Keyshia Cole's moved on ... her ex-NBA star ex-husband Boobie Gibson is also on the rebound -- and last night went on the prowl for some top shelf chicks at an erotic Hollywood club.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the former Cleveland Cavaliers player hit up Penthouse Nightclub in West Hollywood -- along with some huge Hollywood stars like Meagan Good, Vivica A. Fox, "LHHH" star Sincere Show and Too Short.

But all eyes were on the in-club GLASS SHOWER -- where half naked women would soap themselves up and wash themselves down in front of everyone.

It was insane.

We're told there was also an "erotic pool table room" -- where very, very barely dressed women would grind on each other (and on the pool equipment) while people watched, danced and played pool.

It was insane.

Also at the club, NBA star Brandon Jennings and his GF Tae Heckard. We're guessing it was no coincidence that they found the cameras since Brandon's ex Teyana Taylor just went public with her new relationship with NY Knicks player Iman Shumpert.

With Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson wondering if they'll ever play pro football again, one owner is taking a stand ... Gene Simmons ... who says he'd NEVER hire either one of 'em on his arena team.

Of course, Simmons is one of the owners of the L.A. Kiss -- which competes in the Arena Football League -- and even though signing those guys would mean huge publicity, Gene says they're simply not welcome in his locker room.

New information in the arrest of Charlotte Hornets player Jeffrey Taylor -- TMZ Sports has learned he's accused of attacking a man AND a woman before he was arrested for assault yesterday.

As we previously reported, 25-year-old Taylor was arrested in East Lansing, Michigan on Thursday ... after cops say he attacked his girlfriend at a hotel around 1AM.

We've learned the female is a college athlete who plays soccer at Michigan State University.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, Taylor is also accused of attacking a man during the incident.

Drew Brees is finally calling off the dogs on a former Saints teammate who allegedly screwed him out of $160k ... more than a year after battling the guy in court ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Brees had sued former Saints longsnapper Kevin Houser -- claiming the guy (who became a licensed security broker) duped him into buying $160k worth of tax credits from a defunct movie studio that turned out to be bogus and worthless.

Houser had fired back -- saying he NEVER had a deal to represent Brees in the transaction and says Drew simply made a stupid investment and should just take his loss like a man.

Now, we've learned ... the two sides have struck a settlement -- and though the terms are confidential, it's pretty safe to assume Houser probably had to kick over some cash.

We reached out to both sides for comment -- so far, no word back.

It's that time of the season ... the point where your Fantasy Football team is either going to rise to the top -- or plummet into the losers bracket. But worry not, Harvey Levin is here to help.

Our tiny fearless leader has teamed up with Draftkings to dish out his Fantasy Football picks of the week -- so you can save your squad!! So without further ado ... take it away Haaaaarv!

Fantasy Musts:

Tom Brady -- "I've thought pretty long and hard about this. And I gotta say ... Tom Brady is my guy. I gotta feeling he's gonna be strong after uniting with Bob Kraft over the high-five fail. People haven't high-fived me my entire life and I turned out OK."

Darren Sproles -- "He's short. I'm short. United we stand."

Fantasy Bust:

Aaron Rodgers -- "I'm worried about Aaron Rodgers because I think he gets psyched out by the media. And I think all those stories about Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson are probably messing with his mind. And the more he thinks about it, the more it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"He should be focusing on the Bears ... not Olivia Munn."

Remember, head to Draftkings to get a shot to win $10k by participating in this week's $100k Play-Action Pool. Draftkings offers 1-week fantasy football contests where you can pick a new team every week.

If you want to go to Hulk Hogan’s Tampa restaurant you better follow the strict dress code -- NO baggy pants, NO excessive jewelry and NO do-rags.

Hmm … could there be an easier -- yet slightly more racist -- way to say this?

Charlotte Hornets player Jeffery Taylor was arrested in East Lansing, Michigan early Thursday on domestic violence charges.

The 25 year old forward was busted at Marriott hotel near Michigan State University, and was booked for domestic violence, assault, and malicious destruction of property. WCNC first reported the arrest.

Taylor was released on a $5,000 bond. The alleged victim in the incident has not been identified.

Hulk Hogan says he's not racist ... and neither is his restaurant ... so he's putting the HURT on a controversial dress code at his Tampa eatery ... that appears to target black people.

We talked to Hulk about the sign posted at Hogan's Beach ... barring anyone who wears excessively baggy attire, low-hanging pants, do-rags, bandanas, oversized or excessive jewelry -- all stuff popular with the urban crowd.

Hulk -- who doesn't own the eatery but licenses his name to it -- tells us he called the restaurant's managers personally ... and demanded the sign be taken down -- permanently ... and they agreed.
