Three Dallas Cowboys legends are back on the same sideline ... rooting on their daughters who all play in the same elite youth soccer league ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett and Charles Haley -- together they have 9 Super Bowls, 17 Pro Bowls and 2 Hall of Fame busts -- and they get together every weekend as soccer dads.

"[Our daughters] are out there ballin', Dorsett tells us ... "The apples don't fall far from the tree."

Tony -- who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in '94 -- says his daughter plays on the same team with Haley's kid ... and even though Emmit's daughter plays on another squad, "They go head to head sometimes."

"When we're together, we talk about football. It's not usually about the old days. We talk about what's going on in the league now," Dorsett says.

Tony says the guys are all very supportive of each other's kids -- "All of the girls are very talented" -- but says Charles' daughter is a star among stars.

Michael Jordan might just be the Magic Johnson of the holiday season 'cause His Airness was assisting hunger left and right earlier Tuesday ... passing out Thanksgiving meals to needy families.

Jordan and his Charlotte Hornets team -- including big man Al Jefferson partnered with Food Lion and soldiers from Ft. Bragg to hand out 1,000 turkey day meals at their annual "Cornocopia" feast in Charlotte Tuesday.

What's on the menu when Jordan is serving? Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, mac & cheese, cranberry sauce with a two-liter bottle of Sprite for every meal.

No Gatorade, Ball Park Hot Dogs or McDonalds? Mike must really be feeling the holiday spirit.

10:45 AM PT -- TMZ Sports obtained the police report which shows cops were called to Smoot's residence around 11 AM.

Smoot's GF told police Smoot pushed her against the wall in their bathroom when she tried to grab the keys to his truck so she could drive it to work.

The GF says, "He scratched her on the knuckle and the stomach."

She also claims Smoot "grabbed her shorts and ripped them."

The responding officer noted that the GF has "minor marks to the knuckle and stomach. Her shorts were ripped in the crouch [sic] area."

We spoke to the GF who tells us, "He came through the door after me and ripped my boxer shorts."

The GF says she ran outside the home and tried knocking on neighbor's doors -- but no one answered. Eventually she claims she got back in her house and called cops and hid in a closet until police arrived.

After the cops arrived, the GF says she went to Smoot's truck and found a half-empty box of condoms ... and believes that's why he was trying to keep her out of the car.

We spoke with a rep for Smoot who told us the ex-NFL has no comment and wants the legal process to run its course.

Former NFL star Fred Smoot was arrested in Washington D.C. Sunday for domestic violence after allegedly beating up his girlfriend ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 35-year-old cornerback -- who finished his career with the Washington Redskins -- was arrested for misdemeanor simple assault.

The alleged victim has posted photos on social media showing cuts to her upper lip and bruises to her arm she says she sustained from multiple incidents. She also claims to have requested a restraining order against Smoot.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... Smoot was arraigned this morning and was released on $2,500 bond.

Story developing ...

There will be no MEGA-FIGHT between Charles Barkley and DeMarcus Cousins ... so says Kenny "The Jet" Smith ... who tells TMZ Sports the guys were "just playing" when they threatened to destroy each other.

Here's the thing ... it didn't seem very playful when DeMarcus blasted Charles earlier this month -- when he said he has "no respect for Sir Charles because of the way Barkley criticized him when he was a high schooler.

And it didn't seem like Charles was playin' when he said he'd beat the crap out of DeMarcus if push ever comes to shove.

But Kenny -- Barkley's "Inside the NBA" co-star -- insists it's all just fun and games.

Torrey Smith is on a mission to make his son the next Gerber Baby ... entering the 7-month-old into the official Gerber competition -- and he's already got celebrity support.

The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver and his wife Chanel entered little Torrey Jeremiah (aka TJ) into the Gerber "Be Our Baby" photo search ... where TJ will battle it out with tykes from across the country.

The competition closes on December 14 ... and the winner gets $5,000!

Chanel says it's not about the money for them -- "I just want TJ in a Gerber commercial 😂😂 that little face belongs somewhere!"

She adds, "If TJ wins we plan to give half of the money to a children's charity and the other half would go to TJs college fund."

First Beckham, then Ronaldo ... now ANOTHER soccer star is getting into the men's underwear game - James Rodriguez.

The Colombian superstar who plays for Real Madrid stripped down to his man panties to model his new line of undies, J10 ... made by a Colombian underwear company Bronzini.

Seems to be a total ripoff of Cristiano Ronaldo's undie-brand CR7 ... which started as an underwear line and was so successful, it's already expanded into socks and shirts.

BTW, James and Ronaldo both play for the same team -- so, it's kinda like the Oklahoma City Thunder situation ... where teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook also have competing underwear lines.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. says he's been BOMBARDED with praise since that one-handed miracle grab ... but the best moment involved a tweet from LeBron James.

OBJ was at Steiner Sports in NYC last night when revealed that LeBron is his all-time favorite athlete ... and when King James tweeted about the catch on Sunday, it blew his mind.

FYI -- here's the tweet LeBron posted after Beckham's catch: "Man I just witnessed the greatest catch ever possibly by Odell Beckham Jr! WOW!!!!"

Imagine your hero writing that about you. Pretty cool, right?!

Still, Odell is modest about the 3-fingered catch, saying the greatest snag ever made still belongs to ANOTHER NY Giants wide receiver.

Reggie Bush just compared Ferguson to Israel -- suggesting Israelis are shooting unarmed Palestinians ... the same way Officer Darren Wilson shot Mike Brown.

The Detroit Lions star went to Instagram and posted a photo of a man holding a sign that reads, "The Palestinian people know what mean to be shot while unarmed because of your ethnicity #ferguson #justice."

Bush also included a caption -- "No matter who you are, what color skin you have, where you live, we are all in this together! This isn't a Ferguson problem it's a Global Problem! We need change NOW! What happened to humanity? #JusticeForMikeBrown."

Question is ...

The man who claims he was attacked by Johnny Manziel and his "entourage" last week says he's still in pain from the alleged hotel beatdown ... and says he's got pics to prove it.

TMZ Sports spoke with Chris Gonos ... who claims his left elbow was jacked up by Johnny's crew during a fight at The 9 hotel in Cleveland late Friday night.

Gonos says the picture shows severe swelling and a nasty bruise -- but claims he also suffered a swollen lip and and injuries to his eye.

Gonos says he's not sure who hit him -- but he's confident the assailant was part of Johnny's crew.

Police are investigating the incident ... but so far, no arrests have been made.

As for Johnny, he tells a very different story ... saying he was "accosted by a very aggressive man and his associates" at the hotel that night.

Adrian Peterson believes there's a slight chance the grand jury in Ferguson will change its mind and indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Mike Brown ... problem is, he's flat-out wrong.

In the wake of the decision in Ferguson, AP went to Twitter to express his dismay over situation ... writing, "The GRAND JURY DECIDED NOT TO INDICT ME TOO! But that changed a week LATER! MAYBE, BUT NOT LIKELY N THIS CASE #PUTyourTrustNGODnotINtheWORLD!"

AP is obviously referring to his child abuse case ... insisting he was under the impression the grand jury was leaning toward NOT pursuing charges against him for beating his son with a switch ... only to change its mind and indict at the last minute.

There were reports that AP's case was "no-billed" by a grand jury and then taken to another grand jury, which decided to indict the NFL star ... but the Montgomery County D.A. eventually shot those reports down.

"The same grand jury was the one that reviewed all the evidence and the law in this particular case, and the one that issued the indictment,” the D.A. stated.

Check this out ... we just spoke with Odell Beckham Jr.'s high school coach Nelson Stewart about the insane 1-handed catch -- his quotes are fantastic.

-- "We tried to stop him from catching the ball with one hand in high school ... but then we said, 'This is stupid, he never drops the ball. Let's just let him.'"

-- "Now we have a problem with our players trying to catch the ball with one hand. They say, 'But you let him do it.' I say, 'You are not Odell Beckham!'"

-- "He said he wants to have his high school jersey hanging at the high school one day. We haven't given his number away since -- so I think he's on his way."

-- "His hands were bigger than anyone on our team. He literally never dropped a ball. He redefined everything you could do."

Fun Fact -- OBJ went to Isidore Newman High School in New Orleans ... where Eli and Peyton Manning played their prep ball.

As if losing to the crosstown rival wasn't bad enough, now Snoop Dogg is taking aim at the USC football team ... after UCLA beat their ass this weekend.

"Well SC fans ... we f**king suck," Snoop said.

"Weak ass plays ... soft ass quarterback ... it's gonna be hard getting kids to go there now."

Snoop's words carry extra meaning since his son Cordell Broadus is a top-ranked high school wide receiver who's been recruited by some of the best college programs in the country ... including USC.

Question is ... is Snoop not-so-subtly hinting that SC played itself out of the Cordell sweepstakes??

Kansas City Chiefs star safety Eric Berry has been placed on the non-football injury list after doctors discovered a mass on the right side of his chest ... which they believe to be lymphoma.

Berry is expected to go to Emory University hospital for further evaluation.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said of the situation, "Right now, he needs to be a beast. He'll attack this."

Berry released a statement, saying, "I am truly thankful for all of the support from family, friends, coaches, teammates and the entire Chiefs kingdom. At first I was in shock with the diagnosis on Saturday and did not even want to miss a game, but I understand that right now I have to concentrate on a new opponent."

Johnny Manziel is painting a completely different picture of the alleged fight that he was involved in over the weekend ... instead claiming he was the victim of an aggressive fan.

Manziel who is being accused of taking part in the beatdown of a fan who claims he was just trying to shake his hand -- said through his agent on Monday that there was no "entourage" with Manziel on the night in question.

Instead, Manziel -- through his agent, Erik Burkhardt -- claims he and his roommate were returning from dinner with Johnny's mom when they were "accosted by a very aggressive man and his associates."

Manziel claims he let Browns management know about the incident "immediately."

The accuser, Chris Gonos, previously told TMZ Sports he was simply trying to shake Manziel's hand when Johnny Football's entourage jumped him.

Former 2 -time welterweight champs have all the fun ... just ask Andre Berto -- who spent his weekend turning up with Chris Brown and Trey Songz at Trey's ultra exclusive 30th birthday party.

The carnival themed party took place in Calabasas over the weekend and had a celeb guest list including Terrence J, Draya Michele, and Songz' rumored new chick ... R&B singer Mila J.

Sources close to Berto tell us he thought the theme -- with rides and prizes -- was "one of the dopest party concepts" ever. You can see in this video ... Chris and Trey rode bumper cars, and also did an impromptu concert.

The party was a tough ticket ... we're told there were only 75 guests. Hollywood-speak for intimate.

It's been a year in the making, but Shaquille O'Neal finally got his massive custom bike from the guys at Orange County Choppers ... and judging by the pics, it was definitely worth the wait.

Shaq first placed his order with Paul Teutul Sr.'s shop back in January -- asking for his ride to be taller and longer than normal to accommodate his arthritic hips.

Now, we've learned the shop came through in a huge way -- delivering the 14-footer (most bikes are 10-feet long) to Shaq earlier this month -- and The Diesel LOOOVED IT.

The bike is insane -- chromed out ... with a Superman logo right on the handlebars
