Shawn Michaels, Triple H ... and now Jon "Bones" Jones is OFFICIALLY a member of the baddest wrestling group of all time D-Generation X -- so says ex-WWE star X-Pac.

If you saw Jones fight at UFC 182 this weekend, then you saw him flash the famous DX "SUCK IT" crotch chop to Daniel Cormier after beating his ass for 5 rounds.

Well, the move struck a chord with X-Pac -- one of the first soldiers in the DX  army -- who told us Jones "did the crotch chop with perfect form, like he does with everything in the octagon."

That's why he's all about bringing Jones onboard as an honorary member of DX ... just like they did with Mike Tyson back in '98.

"We've got Tyson, so why not Jones? The more the merrier," Pac says.

And if you're not down with that, he's got two words for ya ...

The police department that was skewered by OJ Simpson's defense team during his murder trial has gone to court to solve another crime involving the famous convict ... but this one involves his 1968 Heisman Trophy.

TMZ has learned the LAPD has obtained a search warrant, allowing detectives to secure phone records of a man they believe stole the statue from Heritage Hall at USC back in 1994.

The trophy and OJ's famous #32 jersey went missing after someone dismantled the display case and made off with the goods.

The cold case became hot in November when a man called USC, saying he had purchased the trophy from a friend years ago and wanted to authenticate it. The USC folks determined the guy did indeed have the Heisman, but cops didn't believe his story ... they think he's the crook.

So LAPD detectives went to court last month and got a warrant to track the guy down and nab the items.

He can't be prosecuted ... the statute of limitations has long since run.

As for OJ ... he also had a Heisman -- they come in pairs ... one for the player and one for the school. OJ's was sold for $255,500 to partially satisfy the $33 million judgment for killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

"Modern Family" star Ty Burrell has proof that a $170k-a-week job can have drawbacks ... with the Oregon Ducks superfan saying he might have to miss the National Championship -- if work calls.

As we previously reported, Burrell is a hardcore Ducks supporter and personal friends with the head coach -- and publicly declared he'd be at the game in Texas to cheer on UO against Ohio St.

There's just one thing that can stand in his way ... "Modern Family" ... and when we got Burrell in L.A. on Monday, he admitted if push comes to shove ... it's a fight he knows he can't win.

It's time for a little "Good News/Bad News" for Terrell Owens ... starring Donald Trump.

First, the good news ... Trump says he was super impressed with the former NFL star during the taping of "Celebrity Apprentice" ... saying he's got real potential to make it in the business world.

Now for the bad news ... Trump says T.O. has a pet peeve that causes Owens to LOSE HIS MIND -- and it's when people mispronounce his name.

Trump called in to "TMZ Live" and told us he's personally seen Owens "go crazy at people" who pronounce his name "Tah-Rell" instead of "Tear-ruhl" ... and said he had to explain to T.O. why he shouldn't take it so personally.

And get this, Trump says despite T.O.'s reputation -- he was a model citizen on the show ... and was well-liked by his cast-mates.

Here's video of Los Angeles Lakers rookie Julius Randle walking around The Grove in L.A. today -- two months after breaking his leg during minute 14 of his NBA debut.

Randle -- who's undergoing an unrelated foot surgery tomorrow -- seemed to be in good spirits about his recovery and we might know why ... being bedridden may have had it's perks.

We also asked Randle if he's worried about playing with Kobe Bryant next season after watching The Mamba ream his teammates at practice and during games.

Anyone hoping for a "Space Jam" sequel (all four of you) is about to be seriously bummed ... 'cause one of the movie's stars is telling TMZ Sports why it should NEVER HAPPEN, and it's all about LeBron James.

Thom Barry -- who played MJ's dad in the movie -- was out in Beverly Hills recently when we asked about rumors that LeBron might pick up where His Airness left off in a new Jam.

If you're a fan of King James, prepare to be pissed at this vid -- Barry throws a couple shots at LeBron (and Kobe too) for even thinking they could slide into Jordan's Jordans on the big screen.

** WARNING -- ADULT CONTENT (SERIOUSLY, IT'S PRETTY SEXUAL) **

He's the only person who can truly bring one woman's deep sexual obsession with Rob Gronkowski to life ... which is why we asked Gilbert Gottfried to recite a few of the erotic passages from "A Gronking to Remember."

Gilbert joined the gang on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" on Reelz (which airs Mon-Fri 6PM ET, 3PM PT) ... and took us through his favorite parts from the new 38-page romantic novel.

Johnny Manziel was attacked with drinks at a Houston nightclub this weekend ... after the Cleveland Browns QB got into it with a group of hecklers ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It all went down at Dekan nightclub in Houston late Sunday night -- Manziel arrived with some friends looking to have a good time when things got chippy.

We spoke with J.R. from Sticky Promotions -- who was with Johnny that night -- and he tells us people were shouting at Manziel and aggressively trying to take pics.

At one point, a frustrated Manziel flipped off one of the hecklers -- and that's when J.R. says the drinks started to fly.

"I ducked and I looked at Johnny and we grabbed security and they ran us out of there," J.R. says.

We're told Johnny and some members of his crew were splashed with drinks -- so they went back to their hotel room to change.

J.R. says he spoke with club security -- who told him the drink-throwers were booted from the joint -- so Johnny and his posse decided to return to the club.

Once they got back inside -- with Manziel wearing a new shirt -- we're told Johnny partied without incident for the rest of the night and had a great time.

We spoke to Houston PD -- and we're told cops were never contacted about the incident.

The Mayor of Bergenfield, New Jersey is calling out Chris Christie -- telling TMZ Sports the Governor is "wrong" for jumping on the Dallas Cowboys bandwagon.

Of course, Christie has been under fire from all sorts of Jerseyans for bear-hugging Jerry Jones in the owner's box at Cowboys Stadium yesterday when when Dallas solidified their lead over the Detroit Lions.

Mayor Norman Schmelz says he loves Christie and thinks he's a great governor ... "but when it comes to football, he's wrong."

We also spoke with ex-NFL star Jon Runyan -- a former U.S. Congressman from NJ -- who says Christie's allegiance to Dallas is "unfortunate" ... especially with so many people from Jersey being fans of the Eagles, Giants and Jets.

"Truly, I get why people are upset. But I love his passion for the game. It's unfortunate he's rooting for [the Eagles'] arch rival."

Though Runyan says he does respect the fact that Christie "doesn't let anyone tell him what he can or can't do."

Sources with direct knowledge about the arrest of New Orleans Saints linebacker Junior Galette tell TMZ Sports ... a female was hospitalized Monday morning following an incident at Junior's Louisiana home.

We're told ... police in Kenner, LA were called to the scene around 9AM -- and when officials arrived, they noticed a woman who appeared injured with scrapes and a ripped earlobe.

One source tells us it appeared as if the woman had an earring ripped out of her ear.

Our sources tell us ... the woman was transported to a nearby hospital to be treated.

26-year-old Galette was arrested at the home -- though officials have not revealed the specific charges for which he was arrested.

The Kenner Police Department tells TMZ Sports ... cops are investigating the incident.

We reached out to Galette's rep -- so far, no word back.

12:25 PM PT -- According to police in Kenner, Galette was charged with simple battery involving domestic violence and his cousin was also booked on a misdemeanor simple battery charge after the incident.

At some point during the alleged altercation, the victim told police she armed herself with a knife for self-defense, if needed.

GET IT SIR CHUCK!!!

We just got amazing video of Charles Barkley gettin' down -- droppin' it low -- at a bar in Vegas this weekend. Did we mention it's amazing?

Barkley was at the Mandalay Bay around 1AM Sunday morning -- busting out the moves to the beat of Kendrick Lamar's new jam, "i."

Clearly, Sir Chuck was feelin' it ... until the DJ decided to put on CeeLo's "F**k You" ... and that's when Barkley decided the dance party was over.

Gronk scores touchdown. Gronk spikes football. Gronk makes married woman wanna cheat on her husband.

That's basically the plot for a brand new erotica novel called "A Gronking to Remember" ... an X-rated book (available on Amazon) penned by a woman with a serious obsession with the Patriots tight end.

The book is a 38-page fantasy by Lacey Noonan -- who drones on and on about how watching Rob Gronkowski play football sends "jiggling ribbons of electric jelly" through her body.

To complicate things, the main character says her husband isn't getting the job done in the bedroom -- leaving her "aching for a love pummeling" from #87.

Stuart Scott was so passionate about continuing his MMA training during his fight with cancer, he REFUSED to quit ... even after doctors implanted a chemotherapy port into his chest.

"He was such an impressive person," says Sensei Darin Reisler ... who trained Scott in Connecticut.

"During his last round of chemotherapy, when he would train, he was training with the chemotherapy port surgically implanted in his chest. He did mixed martial arts... with a chemo port in his chest!"

Scott had said MMA training helped to get his energy up after grueling chemo sessions -- but Sensei Darin says Stuart wasn't just training to help himself.

"He really looked out for the needs of others. He was the first person to volunteer to work with a new student, and he always had a smile on his face."

Most people can't afford one Bugatti supercar, worth around $2 million -- Floyd Mayweather has THREE.

Here's the checklist with approximate market values ...

Bugatti Veyron -- $2 millionBugatti Veyron -- $2 million Bugatti Grand Sport -- $2 million Ferrari 458 Spider -- $250kFerrari 458 Spider -- $250k Lamborghini Aventador -- $400k Porsche 911 Turbo S $180k Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano -- $300k

Grand total ... $7.3 MILLION.

And unlike Justin Bieber, Mayweather has his own private jet ... and they don't exactly come cheap.

FYI -- Mayweather has reportedly made more than $400 MILLION in his career ... and clearly, he ain't afraid to spend it.

Warren Sapp ain't out of his ex-wife's doghouse yet ... at least according to court docs which show the NFL legend has still not paid more than $3 million in back support ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's the deal ... Sapp filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2012 ... and all of his many, many debts were made public.

One of those debts is owed to Jamiko Sapp ... the mother of two of his children ... who claimed Warren owed $3,104,207.20 in "domestic support obligations."

Well, according to new docs filed Monday in Florida bankruptcy court, Warren has only repaid $8,236.85 ... less than 1% of the debt.

Meanwhile, Sapp is still living pretty high on the hog ... making $100k bets with rappers and test-driving fancy cars.

Terrell Suggs ain't gonna like this video.

New England Patriots superfan Matt Damon just told us he fully expects his squad to dominate the Ravens next week (and everyone else in Tom Brady's path) ... on their way to ANOTHER Super Bowl title this year.

"I think there's a lot of good competition there," Damon said at LAX this weekend ... "but I'm a big believer in the Patriots."

"Patriots are going all the way."

Damon said the same thing when the Ravens took on the Pats in the NFL Playoffs back in 2013 ... only to come up with some thin excuses after Baltimore pulled off the upset.

We will say this though ... check out the clip from 2013 and check out the clip from yesterday -- Matt always signs autographs, takes pics with fans and couldn't be a nicer guy.
