Pacman Jones Suspended Without Pay Over Insane Hotel Incident

Published | Updated

Pacman Jones has finally received his NFL punishment over that hotel incident in which he allegedly assaulted a security officer and told a cop to "suck my d*ck" ... and he'll only miss 1 game.

The incident went down back in January and the aftermath was recorded on police cameras. Jones not only cussed out the arresting officer, he also wished death upon him.

PACMAN GOES OFF

Jones was initially arrested for disorderly conduct, assault and obstructing official business -- but the first two charges were dropped and he ultimately pled guilty to the 3rd.

The NFL says Jones will be suspended without pay for the first 2017 regular season game for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.

The NFL says it considered the crazy video of Jones going off on the cops when the league decided his punishment.

The league issued a letter to Jones saying, "As you acknowledged, your post-arrest words and actions reflected poorly on you and your family, the Cincinnati Bengals football club, and the NFL. While it is our understanding that appropriate apologies have been publicly extended, they do not completely negate your behavior and admission of culpability for the underlying conduct."

Jones has 3 days to appeal the punishment, if he chooses to do so.

FOCUS ON THE BALL, LONZO!

Lonzo Ball will have plenty of time to crush all the celebrity ass he wants -- AFTER he starts to kill it in the NBA ... so, don't go chasing the Kardashians just yet.

This is the wise message from ex-Laker Shannon Brown ... who knows all about dating famous women.

Of course, Brown famously married R&B star Monica back in 2010 -- after Brown had already won 2 NBA titles with the Lake Show.

Brown isn't saying to stay away from Kylie, Kendall or any other K-family member who might be interested (Kris?) ... he's just sayin' wait a minute.

BTW, Lonzo already has a hot girlfriend ... so, in theory, it shouldn't be a problem.

VICK LOSING RESPECT

Geno Smith. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Matt Barkley.

They have jobs. Colin Kaepernick doesn't. And it's not sitting right with Brandon Marshall.

The Denver Broncos linebacker has been a staunch ally and friend of Colin's for years -- since they played together at Nevada back in college, where they were also fraternity brothers.

Marshall -- who famously joined Kap's national anthem protest last season -- says Colin is still immensely talented and driven and BELONGS in the league.

He also tells us Colin's smart, talented, hard-working -- he's not a menace and won't do anything to cause an NFL organization any issues if he's signed this year.

Marshall also has strong feelings about Mike Vick's haircut comments -- saying, "Those words should never have come out of his mouth from a black man to another black man."

L.A. Dodgers Organist Honors Chester Bennington ... Linkin Park Tribute

Published | Updated

Even the guy who plays "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Dodgers Stadium was affected by the death of Chester Bennington ... and honored the Linkin Park singer with a musical tribute on the stadium organ.

Just before the Dodgers took the field against the Braves, team organist Dieter Ruehle played his own version of "Numb" over the loudspeakers.

That's not all ... during the game Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy used LP's "Figure.09" as his walkout music when he took the field.

While Chester was from Arizona, the band was especially big in L.A. -- where the founding members are from.

IF I COULDN'T, NEITHER COULD HE

Oscar De La Hoya says the only way Conor McGregor can beat Floyd Mayweather is with a flying kick to the head ... 'cause there's absolutely ZERO chance he'll out-box the Money Man.

ODLH says he "wishes" McGregor was on Mayweather's level, but he's simply not -- and tells TMZ Sports if he couldn't beat Floyd during his own boxing heyday, McGregor has no real shot.

That said, Oscar does dish out some advice for Conor on how to fight Floyd ... but he doubts it's gonna help.

FYI, Floyd and Oscar fought back in 2007 -- Mayweather won by split decision.

O.J. Simpson Paroled Owner of The Bronco Could Be Big Winner

Published | Updated

The white Ford Bronco from O.J. Simpson's car chase stands to make its current owner a ton of dough ... if a buyer steps up to the plate.

O.J.'s former sports agent, Mike Gilbert, owns the Bronco -- he bought it from A.C. Cowlings -- and sources close to him tell us he's never really been interested in selling, but only because the offers weren't good enough. We're told he's always considered it an investment, and this might be the perfect time to -- as they say -- sell high.

Our sources tell us Mike's been offered $250k for the white Bronco in the past but turned it down right away. His target price is more in the $750k to $1 million range, and now that Juice's parole's been granted ... Gilbert can probably get it.

We're told Mike has no emotional attachment to the Bronco, but he'll hold onto it unless he gets what he wants. If not, he'll pass it down to his kids.

One more thing -- we're told there's one person he will NOT sell to ... and that's O.J.

The white Bronco's currently sitting in the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN.

O.J. Simpson Gets Job Offer From Nevada Brothel ... Prostitutes Threaten To Quit

Published | Updated

O.J. Simpson officially has his first post-prison job offer ... from a Nevada brothel who says they're willing to let the juice run loose all over their establishment.

There's just one problem ... some of the working girls at the place have thrown a penalty flag, threatening to quit if O.J. is hired at their place of business.

TMZ Sports talked with Dennis Hof, owner of the Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada, and he told us he's got a position all ready for O.J. when he's released, which could be as early as October 1.

Hof says O.J. would work as a greeter in the establishment, and be able to live on the premises of the ranch as long as he's employed.

"One of the conditions of a prisoner being granted parole is always having an established place to live and a job to go to, and I can offer O.J. both of those in a unique situation."

It's not all good for O.J. though, Brooklyn Moore, a pro at the ranch says that she and some of her fellow bedroom beauties will cross their legs FOR GOOD if O.J. ever shows up for work.

"The last thing we need is another link to the Kardashian clan coming around to ruin our business, and jeopardize our safety."

Despite the insurrection, Hof says his job offer to Simpson stands, telling us he thinks giving Simpson a second chance is the right thing to do.

FUTURE REUNION?

Justin Simpson didn't seem as transfixed about his father's parole news as the rest of America ... and had very little reaction to the fact he'll be getting out of prison soon.

O.J.'s 28-year-old son was leaving Walmart in St. Petersburg, Florida when a photog asked him about the parole board's decision ... which happened about 90 minutes before this was shot. He smiled for a moment, but mostly hid his emotions as he got into his Tesla.

Justin and his sister, Sydney, are reportedly realtors now. It's unclear what their relationship is with O.J. now. Interestingly, Simpson said during the hearing he'd most likely be moving to Florida once he gets out of prison.

You'll recall ... Sydney and Justin were asleep in their mother Nicole's condo when she and Ron Goldman were murdered.

Alberto Del Rio Tapping Out on MMA Day Job Amid Dom. Violence Probe

Published | Updated

Alberto Del Rio is tappin' out on his day job as president of the MMA org. Combate Americas after an alleged domestic incident last week involving his WWE superstar fiancee Paige.

A rep for Combate -- a promotion featuring Latin fighters -- confirms to TMZ Sports that ADR is "stepping down" from the helm of the company.

We broke the story ... Alberto and Paige got into an altercation at an Orlando airport last Sunday. Police investigated, and have recommended that Paige face charges. Del Rio is still under investigation.

Alberto was appointed C.A. prez in October 2016 -- and once described himself as the Dana White of the company.

Now he's out of a job ... but won't have to hit the unemployment line. He's still employed by Global Force wrestling -- though he's currently suspended.

Christopher Darden The Juice Will Be Loose?! Hide the Women and Children!!!

Published | Updated

O.J. Simpson will be a menace to society when he's released from prison ... a danger to women and children ... so says (possibly jokes) former O.J. prosecutor Christopher Darden.

We got Darden leaving NBC studios Thursday in NYC when we asked how he feels now that O.J. will walk a free man after being granted parole.

Darden says O.J. was playing with fire by lying to the parole board when he claimed to never have drawn a weapon on anybody and was always a good guy ... to which Darden says is BS.

O.J. Simpson's former sister-in-law had to laugh when he declared he's led a conflict-free life ... because she's seen and heard all the proof to prove otherwise.

Tanya Brown, younger sister to Nicole Brown Simpson, watched his parole board hearing as it played out Thursday morning. She told us she was concerned about the flash of anger he displayed at one of the board members -- but she was truly floored by his conflict comment.

Tanya reminded him about his history of domestic violence with Nicole.

Khloe & Tristan Eyeing Baller $9 Million Crib With Hoop & Putting Green

Published | Updated

The crib Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson checked out Wednesday is a basketballer's dream where the Cavs player can still get in some serious hoopin' in the off-season, as well as work on his putting game.

As we reported, Tristan's looking for a rental in L.A. where he can crash when he's in town. He's got a budget ... $60k a month and Khloe tagged along as they did a walk-through on a $9 million crib in Studio City.

The 9,733 square foot pad has 6 bedrooms and 8.5 baths. There's a private gym, sauna and indoor hot tub. There's also a movie theater, giant wine cellar and a putting green in the backyard.

Only downside? Kidding. There isn't a single one.

O.J. Simpson Free to Booze and Smoke Pot, But ...

Published | Updated

O.J. Simpson's on his way to being released from prison, and once he's a free man he'll also be free to imbibe and smoke weed ... as long as he's responsible about it.

The conditions of Juice's parole allow him to "consume alcoholic beverages but not to excess." O.J. will occasionally be tested for it, but if his BAC is under .08 ... he's in the clear.

Simpson's not allowed to use any controlled substances without a prescription from a doctor, and the same goes for marijuana. BUT, if he's prescribed medicinal marijuana ... he's got a green light to the ganja.

Here's the wild card ... he must obey all laws. One member of the parole board made it clear ... even a small lapse could land him back in prison.

The rest of his conditions are pretty standard -- don't associate with convicted felons, no weapons and make regular check-ins with his parole officer.

Not bad for a guy who was looking at 24 more years of hard time just hours ago.

O.J. Simpson Granted Parole

THE JUICE IS LOOSE

O.J. Simpson was just granted parole and he'll be released from prison as early as October.

The NFL Hall of Famer learned his fate Thursday after Nevada's Board of Parole Commissioners deliberated for a half hour and made the determination. The earliest O.J. can be released from Lovelock Correctional Center is October 1.

The panel included the chairman and 3 commissioners. The board brought up O.J.'s 1995 acquittal, but only to say it did NOT factor into their decision.

No one testified against O.J. at the hearing ... and Bruce Fromong, one of the victims in the armed robbery, testified supporting O.J.'s release. O.J. said Bruce has already accepted his apology.

O.J. has served 9 years of a maximum 33-year prison sentence after he was convicted of armed robbery in 2008. You'll recall he was attempting to retrieve some of his memorabilia in Las Vegas but said he had no clue the crew he was rolling with was armed.

The 70-year-old apologized for the role he played in the robbery. He said he offered no excuses during his 9-year stay behind bars and would have no problem with any parole conditions imposed on him.

In 1995, O.J. was acquitted of murder charges in the killing of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in the so-called "Trial of the Century."

EMOTIONAL O.J.

O.J. Simpson had no problem getting tough while addressing Nevada's Parole Board Commissioners ... but he was also overcome with emotion.

The NFL Hall of Famer was granted parole by unanimous decision Thursday but not before an intense hearing that also included some chuckles from the board.

The 70-year-old NFL Hall of Famer addressed Nevada's Board of Parole Commissioners via video conference. The earliest he can be released from Lovelock Correctional Center is October 1.

He's served 9 years of his 33 year prison sentence.

He was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman -- and many legal experts feel his 33 year sentence was payback for the controversial murder trial verdict. That event, the board said, did not factor in its decision to grant parole.

PULLING THEIR WEIGHT

James Harrison is the KING of crazy strength training videos ... but an NFL rookie might be comin' for the throne.

In the blue corner ... 39-year-old Steelers LB pushing a sled weighing OVER 1,800 POUNDS -- that's one plate for each year of his life.

In the red corner ... 22-year-old Falcons LB Duke Riley pulling an SUV weighing AT LEAST 5,500 POUNDS -- a 2017 Yukon Denali plus his buddy in the driver's seat.

James takes a few tries. Duke did his easy.

Keep in mind, though ... pushing is harder than pulling -- and Duke has wheels workin' for him too.

So, what's more impressive?
