Atlanta Hawks player Mike Scott ADMITTED the marijuana and MDMA found during his arrest on Thursday belonged to him ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, Scott was a passenger in a car that cops say led officers on a high speed chase in Georgia ... and when the car was pulled over, officers say they found 35.2 grams of weed and 10.9 grams of molly.

The driver of the car was Scott's 20-year-old younger brother -- but when the two were asked about the drugs, Mike insisted that they were all his ... and his lil bro had no idea they were in the car.

"[Scott] stated that his brother was unaware of the drugs and that he takes full responsibility for the drugs."

Roddy Piper deserves a monument ... to honor his incredible life and career ... so says former WWE star JTG.

JTG says he was a huge Piper fan from the first time he met the legend at Wrestlemania ... and says the guy was ALWAYS a warm, welcoming dude that would greet people with hugs and kisses.

Meek Mill can't get a break this week ... after getting trashed for his tepid Drake diss song, he's now in the crosshairs of of The Undertaker over the wrestler's famous ring entrance song.

Meek sampled The Taker's signature bells in the diss track, and the WWE is not amused. A spokesperson tells TMZ, "WWE takes its intellectual property rights very seriously, and we're looking into the matter."

The timing is sure bad ... the WWE is in no mood for clowning, given the tragic death of Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Comedian Don Barris, who worked with Rowdy Roddy Piper in comedy and appeared on his podcast, "Piper's Pit", gave us a touching, emotional tribute.

Barris was at The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip Friday night, where the marquee paid homage to the famous wrestler who passed away Thursday night in his sleep.

Barris sung Roddy's praises, and was overcome by emotion.

It's very touching ... take a look.

Don was hosting a night at The Comedy Store back in 2010 when Roddy showed his signature body slam move to the audience.

Several members of the NY Jets tell TMZ Sports ... they want Sheldon Richardson OFF THE TEAM -- claiming his speeding arrest with a 12-year-old in the car is simply "disgusting."

We spoke with multiple starters from the Jets who tell us they're well aware of the allegations against Richardson -- that cops say he was clocked at 143 mph in his Bentley on July 14th with a 12-year-old kid and a gun in the car.

"He shouldn't be back on the team," one NY player tells us ... "It's disgusting to think he'd do something like that with a kid in the car."

Another starting player tells us, "I'm very disappointed in what he did. I have kids, I can't even imagine doing what he did."

Richardson has already been suspended for the first 4 games of the season for failing an unrelated weed test -- but the Jets say they're now looking into this incident as well to see if they need to take action.

But if he never came back, it clearly wouldn't bother some of the Jets -- one of whom told us, "I never liked him anyway."

With Hector Olivera being traded from the Dodgers to the Braves ... he's got a one helluva ride to make the long distance trip -- a SWAGGED OUT $300k pimp van ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Olivera -- who signed a $62.5 MILLION contract with the Dodgers back in May -- recently dropped $60k on a Mercedes Benz sprinter van ... so he could hit the clubs in style and comfort just like Floyd Mayweather and Tyrese.

And just like Floyd and Tyrese, Hector wanted to PIMP THE HELL out of his ride ... so he took it to Alex Vega at the AutoFirm in Miami and dropped $250k to make the inside look like a sick private jet.

Two personal black leather reclining seats ... with an L-shaped bench ... and two 50-inch flat screen TVs. Plus, it's got an Avorza sound system, bar set up and an ice maker!

It's the perfect ride for a guy who wants to party RESPONSIBLY ... it's like Gronk's party bus on steroids.

Your move, Gronk.

Hope Solo may have some competition ... in about 18 years ... 'cause Kim Kardashian's daughter is a SOCCER PLAYER now ... and she's already got her sights set on the goalie job.

Kim K posted a pic of 2-year-old North West out on the soccer pitch -- complete with cleats and shin guards ... along with the caption, "Officially a soccer mom! #MyLittleGoalie."

Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61 ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- died from cardiac arrest in his sleep at his home in Hollywood on Thursday night. He was discovered on Friday.

Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.

Roddy's rep tells us, "I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all."

Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was "cancer free" at the time of his death.

A family member tells us, "Our family is saddened by the sudden passing of our father and beloved husband, Roderick Toombs aka Rowdy Roddy Piper."

Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE.

Piper had a long relationship with WWE -- last wrestling back in 2008 ... but appeared on various WWE shows up until 2014.

Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids -- including 3 daughters and son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling.

The death is especially shocking considering we just spoke to him on Friday and asked his opinion about the Hulk Hogan scandal.

Ric Flair -- one of Roddy Piper's longest and closest friends -- has issued a statement to TMZ Sports on the death of the wrestling legend:

"We've shared the ring, traveled the world, maintained a friendship throughout the ups and downs of the wrestling world, and battled to see who was the better heel," Flair said.

Hulk Hogan tells TMZ Sports ... he's devastated over the news of his friend Roddy Piper -- saying, "I will forever miss him."

"He was my best friend. He is a legend."

Hogan adds, "God's gain is our loss. May his family in this time of need, find peace. Much love forever, HH."

Hogan and Piper were the two of the biggest stars in wrestling back in the '80s -- and famously did battle at "Wrestlemania I" in 1985.

But outside the ring, they were tight -- and remained friends for decades.

The Iron Sheik has also issued a statement ... saying, "Roddy Piper. I love you forever. God bless you bubba."

WWE legend Virgil -- "My main man. Always had my back. RIP #RoddyPiper."

Kevin Nash -- "RIP to Roddy Piper. Prayers to his family and loved ones."

Bill Goldberg -- "#RIP #RoddyPiper ........damn sure one of the good guys. Gonna miss ya buddy"

Jim Ross -- "Rest in peace, Roddy Piper. You will live in our hearts forever"

UFC's Dana White -- "Sad day. RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper."

John Cena -- "One of the true greats of all time. My heart goes out to his family and the fans he entertained over the years. RIP Rowdy."

WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon -- "Roddy Piper was one of the most entertaining, controversial and bombastic performers ever in WWE, beloved by millions of fans around the world. I extend my deepest condolences to his family."

We're constantly updating this post ....

Buffalo Bills lineman coach Aaron Kromer will not be charged in the alleged altercation he had earlier this month with two young kids.

According to the District Attorney's office in Florida, the parents of the two alleged victims requested the charges to be dismissed. The parents felt the injuries were minor and they "desired that the lives of their children not be further disrupted."

The DA also said an "amicable resolution" had been reached between all parties.

Indiana Pacers player Jordan Hill was arrested in Atlanta this week after cops say he was burning rubber at 107 miles per hour ... without a shirt.

Several people called 911 to report the vehicle on Tuesday -- and cops eventually caught up to the former Lakers player, who was driving a Range Rover.

Dash cam footage shows cops putting a shirtless Hill in cuffs and placing him in the back of a cop car.

He was booked for speeding and reckless driving.

Pacers president Larry Bird issued a statement saying, "We have been informed Jordan was arrested for allegedly reckless driving in Atlanta, Georgia.'

So... Kenny Chesney's jacked.

The country superstar hit up the Kansas City Chiefs practice this morning .... and spent some time with head coach Andy Reid.

Maybe it's time to share workout advice?

Another Canadian superstar is going in on Meek Mill -- Bret "The Hitman" Hart ... who just poured salt in the wound ... saying Meek's diss track was WEEEEAAKKKK!!!

"I’m glad to see a fellow Canadian walk away with the championship gold around his waist #drake #canadian #ovo #thebestthereiswasandeverwill," Hart posted.

And as our friends at BSO pointed out, he also posted a pic of Drake's OVO owl.

Depending on who you talk to, Bret "The Hitman" Hart is the greatest Canadian professional wrestler of all-time and is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest technical wrestler of all-time.

The fact even he is dissing Meek Mill tells you how big this battle between Drake and Meek has gotten.

If you wanted to use a wrestling analogy to describe the beef, Drake is currently John Cena and Meek is Fandango.

Marco Rubio might've lost Massachusetts ... 'cause the presidential hopeful just kept it WAY too real about Tom Brady ... telling TMZ Sports if he had his way, Brady would be gone FOREVER.

Rubio was out in DC when we asked the rabid football fan about the QB ... who's having one of the suckier weeks of his (perfect) life since the NFL upheld his 4 game suspension on Tuesday.

Check out the clip -- Rubio barely gives our guy a chance to finish the question before launching into some anti-Brady rhetoric.
