Dallas Cowboys stud Orlando Scandrick is back on the market ... 'cause his relationship with "Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele is officially OVER!!!!

Draya broke the news on social media ... saying, "After more than two years together Orlando and I have mutually decided to end our relationship."

"Unfortunately, we both live very hectic lives making it difficult to spend the deserved time together. He is a great father and athlete and I will cherish the memories that we created."

Pretty shocking ... considering the two were talking about marriage just a few short months ago.

Story developing ...

When you're an MLB catcher ... there are serious hazards of the job.

Being farted on by the home plate umpire is apparently one of those hazards ... so says former Yankees superstar Jorge Posada.

Don't worry, Jorge tells us if an ump hit him with a stink bomb -- he always got even ... "I returned the favor."

Yeah, he's got issues ... but the Pac-12 Network says it's not ready to sever its relationship with Braylon Edwards in the wake of his most recent DUI arrest.

The ex-NFL star had been covering track & field for the network this past season and was reportedly in AZ to cover the "Duel In The Desert" between ASU and U of A when he was busted last week.

TMZ Sports spoke with officials at the Pac-12 Network who admit Braylon's arrest is "greatly disappointing" -- but he's not blackballed from working with the network in the future.

Good news for the concession stand employees at Camden Yards ... the Baltimore Orioles are PAYING EVERYONE for the games that were canceled due to the Baltimore riots.

As we previously reported ... SIX GAMES were either rescheduled or moved do the civil unrest surrounding the stadium in the wake of the death of Freddy Grey, who fell into a coma while in police custody and later died.

It was a big deal for concession stand employees -- many of whom were counting on the paychecks.

Now, the Orioles have posted signs around the stadium saying, "Due to the extraordinary circumstances that led to several cancelled or reschedule games, the Orioles organization will compensate all hourly employees for hours that would have been ordinarily worked the week of April 27."

Solid move.

The company behind the Ironman wasn't just running triathlons ... they were also running a giant scam that screwed athletes out of millions of dollars ... so says the U.S. Government.

Here's the deal ... officials say the World Triathlon Corporation was breaking the law when it charged wannabe triathletes a $50 fee for an entry into a lottery to be selected to participate in an Ironman World Championship race.

Between 2013 and 2015, THOUSANDS of people paid the fee ... in hopes of landing one of the 100 open spots. BTW, if you were selected, you still had to pay an additional $850 entry fee!!

Well, the Department of Justice in Florida believed the scheme violated the state's anti-lottery laws -- which forbids companies from profiting off "illegal gambling businesses."

Now, the government says it has ordered WTC to forfeit all of the proceeds it has earned from the scheme since 2012 to the U.S. government ... totaling $2,761,910.

More heartbreaking news for the Philippines ... Manny Pacquiao is OUT of "Expendables 4."

In fact, Sylvester Stallone tells TMZ Sports he was never really IN in the first place.

Rumors have been circulating for months that Pacman would make an appearance in the flick -- which isn't really a stretch considering Sly put other fighters like Victor Ortiz, Randy Couture and Ronda Rousey in "Expendables 3."

Plus, Manny and Sylvester are pals ... and Sly didn't really deny it when we asked him about the movie last month.

But Stallone finally put the rumors to bed Tuesday in Beverly Hills ... explaining why Manny's a no-go ... but guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger will probably get the nod instead.

Sorry Manny.

No more sugarcoating it ... Tom Brady is a cheater ... period ... so says Seattle Seahawks badass Michael Bennett.

Bennett -- one of the best defensive ends in the NFL -- played against Brady in the game AFTER the Deflategate ... and though he admits Seattle got beat fair and square in the Super Bowl, MB says there's no question Tom broke the rules in the AFC Championship.

But after that, this clip gets HILARIOUS -- here are the CliffsNotes:

-- Advice for QB Russell Wilson now that he's dating Ciara?
("Watch out for Future")

-- Favorite Leonardo DiCaprio movie of all time?
("'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' ... the one where he played like he's retarded")

-- Which celeb he thinks he looks like?
("Denzel or Will Smith")

Ex-NFL star Bart Scott says his former NY Jets teammate Braylon Edwards needs to get help after his most recent DUI arrest -- before someone ends up hurt ... or worse.

"I care about him a whole lot. He's really a great guy," Scott says ... "but he has to get a handle on it. He's putting himself and other people's lives in danger."

Of course, Scott's referring to Braylon's DUI arrest in Arizona last week ... his second DUI arrest in 5 years.

"A lot of players think they're okay and they don't understand that having one or two drinks can lead to this."

Scott says he plans to reach out to Braylon -- who he's known since high school in Detroit -- and wants him to know he's got a TON of support from the guys he grew up with.

The New England Patriots are confident in their backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo ... but they think Tom Brady's suspension is "absolute bulls**t" ... so says one respected Pats player.

The player -- who wished to remain anonymous so he could be "completely honest" -- tells us bluntly, "Ted Wells is full of sh*t. Brady wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize our franchise."

He continued, "I am upset. The whole team is upset. Brady has held himself together ... but we know he's upset. This is some bulls**t."

"Every time we win, we're accused of doing something wrong. It's like the NFL wants to discredit us for winning. If we lost, this wouldn't be a discussion. Goodell has again failed in his decision making."

Braylon Edwards took down a handful of Long Island Iced Teas before he was popped for DUI in Arizona ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... the former NFL star was arrested in Scottsdale around 2:40 AM on May 4th. Cops say Edwards was initially pulled over because his headlights were off.

During the stop, cops say Braylon reeked of booze ... so they asked him to perform a breath test -- but he REFUSED ... even after they told him a refusal would result in his driver's license being suspended for 1 year.

Eventually, he changed his tune -- and according to the police report, Braylon blew a .21 -- more than twice the legal limit.

Later that night, cops say he admitted having 3 Long Island Iced Teas at Oasis nightclub earlier in the evening ... but left because "I thought I was fine."

Edwards was ultimately charged with extreme DUI. For his part, cops say Braylon was very polite and cooperative throughout the process.

Jameis Winston ain't gonna like this ... Legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden just went on the radio and said there's a consensus among FSU fans and boosters that Winston was "an embarrassment" to the University.

85-year-old Bowden made the statement on the Paul Finebaum radio show on Tuesday ... after the ESPN reporter brought up Winston's history of "off-the-field issues."

Bobby's response: "Well, I think it's a consensus among Florida State fans and boosters that he was an embarrassment in a lot of ways to the University."

Winston got into his fair share of drama in college ... the crab leg conviction ... the "F**k her right in the P**sy" incident ... the alleged soda theft ... the BB gun incident ... and, of course, the alleged sexual assault case.

Also, after he left the school, Winston threw FSU under the bus when he went on TV and said he received free groceries from Publix ... a major NCAA violation that could lead to sanctions against the school.

Olympic swimmer Amy Van Dyken just reached another milestone on her miraculous road to recovery -- she's now able to stand and support her own weight.

Van Dyken posted a video of her latest accomplishment and said, "I'm starting to get this standing thing down! #amysarmy #werk #IllBeWalkingSoon #GettingFittedForBracesNextWeek"

Van Dyken -- who won four Olympic gold medals in 1996 and two more in 2000 -- severed her spine in an ATV crash in June 2014. Since then she has posted video of her progress ... taking her first steps with the help of an exoskeleton ... and a few months later, pedaling a bike on her own.

Kobe Bryant continues to haunt Dwight Howard ... at least judging by video of a heckler who used The Mamba to taunt D12 after he was ejected from a playoff game ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Moments after Howard was (mercifully?) booted from Sunday night's beatdown at the hands of the Clippers ... Dwight got to hear a familiar Staples Center yell as he exited through the tunnel.

"Kobe!"

You can see Howard look back at the heckler ... he doesn't seem happy.

Now for some backstory ... Dwight and Kobe have HATED each other ever since their disaster season together back in 2013 ... with Kobe publicly chiding him as "soft."

Charles Barkley says Tom Brady's 4 game suspension will DEFINITELY lower his fantasy football value ... but he doesn't care because "only losers play fantasy sports" anyway.

Sir Chuck was "living the dream" in NYC Tuesday when he sounded off on the whole Deflategate scandal -- saying he still loves Tom ... and explains why he'll still be considered one of the greatest QBs ever.

With Josh Hamilton out of the picture, 'Real Housewives' just picked up ANOTHER former Angels star ... World Series champion Jim Edmonds ... who just signed on to the show with his wife.

Jim -- a 4-time All Star and 8-time Gold Glove winner -- will appear on the upcoming season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" with his wife, Meghan.

We're told Jim and Meghan will be "full time" cast members.

And get this ... we're told Hamilton, who was just recently shipped back to Texas, will appear on the show with his estranged wife ... but in a "friend of the cast" capacity.

Hide your dignity, hide your pride ... cause we're about to show you Antoine Dodson getting knocked out in a celebrity boxing match ... by one of the worst KO shots ever recorded.

Dodson -- infamous for his combat against a bedroom intruder back in 2010 -- is stretching his 15 minutes to the brink ... this time combating some dude named Joe Rubbo in a celebrity boxing match in Florida.

Check out the clip -- Dodson goes down from a SUPER SOFT body shot early on in the fight, and can't muster up the champion spirit to continue on.
