Richie Incognito Bailed Out of Jail After Allegedly Threatening to Shoot Up Mortuary
1:00 PM PT -- Richie is out of jail. A source close to Richie tells us he was bonded out by family members who love and support him.
Ex-NFL star Richie Incognito was arrested in Arizona on Monday after allegedly going berserk in a funeral home following the death of his father ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We're told ... the 35-year-old offensive lineman was talking with staffers at the funeral home when he suddenly exploded and began yelling at various people.
Sources say Incognito allegedly told people he had guns in his Ford Raptor and would shoot people. We're told he also threatened to damage property at the funeral home.
TMZ Sports obtained the emergency dispatch audio in which you can hear the operator say Richie was "mad at employees and wants to kill someone."
Cops were called to the scene to respond to an "out of control" Incognito. He was ultimately arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to a nearby station where he was booked and posed for a mug shot.
We're told cops got a search warrant on the Ford -- and did find guns inside the vehicle. The vehicle and the weapons were impounded.
We're told he's still in custody at the time of this post.
Incognito had tweeted that his father passed away over the weekend. Richie had been in Arizona to move out of his longtime home.

As we previously reported, Incognito was taken into custody at a gym in Florida back in May after he allegedly attacked another patron while cussing the guy out.
5/23/18
Cops said Incognito appeared to be in an "altered paranoid state" during the incident. He was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold. He was released a few days later.
Incognito had announced he had retired from pro football after the 2017 season -- but told TMZ Sports he was open to signing with a team in 2018 if the money was right.
We've reached out to Richie and his attorney for comment -- so far, no word back.
Incognito was a helluva player during his 13 seasons in the NFL -- making the Pro Bowl 4 times and reportedly earning more than $25 million dollars in contract money.
Incognito was infamously linked to the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal back in 2013 -- when he was suspended for misconduct for hazing teammate Jonathan Martin.
Years later, Martin threatened Incognito on social media -- and was apprehended by police a short time later. Cops found guns and knives on Martin at the time of his arrest.
Incognito told TMZ Sports he had no hard feelings for Martin and was praying for him.

Lamar Odom Had 12 Strokes, 6 Heart Attacks ... During Coma
Lamar Odom says it's a miracle he's alive -- revealing he had 12 strokes and 6 heart attacks while he was in a coma from his 2015 drug overdose.
Th ex-NBA star spilled his guts about the incident to Kevin Hart while sitting in an ice bath for KH's YouTube show, "Cold as Balls."
"All my doctors that see me say I'm a walking miracle," Odom said while shivering in the ice tub next to Hart.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Odom was rushed to a hospital on October 13, 2015 after he was found unconscious at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada.
Blood tests showed Odom had cocaine in his system at the time of his overdose. There were times doctors didn't think Odom would survive -- but somehow, he managed to pull through.
Since recovering, Odom has been to rehab and says he's now fully sober and over his addiction.
In fact, Odom told Kevin Hart he feels grateful to be alive -- joking about how it beats the alternative.
During the "Cold as Balls" segment, Odom also joked about the brothel and opened up about how much he appreciated Khloe Kardashian stepping up and handling his care while he was unconscious.
"It was big," Odom said about Khloe.
Odom -- who was legally married to Khloe (but separated) at the time of the overdose -- had tried to get back with her after he got better ... but she had moved on.
Now, Odom seems to have moved on with his life as well ... he's been spotted out with different women since getting healthy, although he hasn't said if he's in a serious relationship with any of them.

'Mighty Ducks' Goalie Checks Into Rehab Thanks for the Prayers & Food!!
Give Shaun Weiss this -- he's got a helluva sense of humor. Check out how the guy who played Goldberg in "The Mighty Ducks" announced checking into rehab.
Shaun posted an emotional but also hilarious message Tuesday on Facebook announcing he's checked into a long-term rehab center. TMZ broke the story ... Shaun was busted earlier this month for public intoxication. Shaun spent a few hours in the drunk tank and, though he wasn't cited, his arrest did produce this incredibly sad mug shot that had his fans feeling bummed for him.
Shaun wrote, "At this time, in an effort to break free from the self destructive patterns of behavior and drug abuse that have landed me at rock bottom, (to be real... BELOW rock bottom. Even rock bottom is like 'holy sh!t, how'd you get all the way down there?') I have checked in to a well reguarded, long term rehabilitation center. I have surrendered to the reality that without immediate treatment my life is in eminant danger. My spirit was until recently depleted, weak and shrouded by darkness has been renewedby the overwhelming out-pouring of love and support from fans of my early work as an actor."
Tom Brady Does Ice Cube a Solid Helps BIG3 Take Down 'Fraud' Hoops League
Tom Brady and Jimmy Kimmel got Ice Cube's back in a big way -- helping the BIG3 co-founder smash another basketball league in a nasty legal war ... TMZ Sports has learned.
The BIG3 had been sued by Champions League -- which promoted itself as a 5-on-5 league comprised mainly of former NBA players and coaches, despite the fact they never played a single game.
CL claimed BIG3 broke agreement which would allow BIG3 players to compete in the other league. They sued BIG3 for $250 MILLION.
But, BIG3 called BS on Champions League from the start -- claiming in legal docs that the whole thing was a "fraud" led by a scam artist who was wrongfully touting celebrity backing from stars like Tom Brady and Jimmy Kimmel.
Well, BIG3 went to Tom -- who filed a declaration saying he NEVER was associated with or even heard of the Champions League. Jimmy Kimmel's lawyers went on the record echoing TB12.
Byron Scott was also pissed off at false claims he was the CEO of Champions League -- and sent a cease and desist to CL ordering them to stop spreading lies, according to legal docs.
As we previously reported, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe and Henry Bibby had also sued Champions League saying they were promised lucrative coaching contracts but never got paid what they were promised.
In the end, BIG3 -- repped by high-powered attorneys Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas -- proved too much for Champions League ... and CL waved the white flag, dropping their suit entirely.
Game over.

Beer Mile Runner Disqualified Didn't Drink Enough Beer!
12:00 PM PT -- TMZ Sports spoke with Corey, who says he's determined to clear his name with the Beer Mile community and work on his chugging to make sure he never gets disqualified again.
The dude who crushed a Beer Mile run in less than four and a half minutes had his time officially disqualified ... 'cause he left too much foam in his bottles.
For real.
The poor guy's name is Corey Bellemore ... and after recording a new world-record time of 4:24 in this month's Beer Mile World Classic -- he was DQ'd 'cause he didn't chug his beers all the way.
FYI ... the Beer Mile is a race where competitors slam a 12-ounce beer at the beginning of every quarter mile.
Officials ruled Bellemore left roughly 4.5 ounces in his bottles after chugging ... which is about a sip over the 4-ounce limit.
Corey took the L in stride ... tweeting after the ruling, "Never rush through life better luck next time!"
Don't feel too bad for the guy ... his 2017 Beer Mile World Classic time of 4:33 still stands as the world record.
Plus, there's always next year!

Ronda Rousey Being WWE Champ Is 'Huge Responsibility'
With great power comes great responsibility -- and for Ronda Rousey that power is being the new WWE Women's Raw champion!
Ronda was getting on a plane after dominating at both SummerSlam and Raw this week -- and, you can tell, she's ready for a nap.
So, when Ronda was asked how she felt -- she told Adam Glyn, "Feels like a huge responsibility and it also feels like Tuesday."
Her point? She's through the weekend grind and now she needs to recharge her batteries for a possible appearance on next week's Raw in Toronto.
It's been a wild couple of days for Rousey -- who beat Alexa Bliss for the belt at SummerSlam on Sunday before putting her boss, Stephanie McMahon, in an armbar during Raw on Monday.
How did it feel to beat up Steph for the 3rd time? Ronda loved it.
"Third time is the best I think," Ronda says. "It's getting better every time. I think we should do it more often."
Ronda and Vince's daughter have had some serious beef since the ex-UFC star joined the WWE ... and things continued to escalate Monday night in New York.
Stephanie took the mic in the ring ... and tried to take credit for Ronda winning the Raw Women’s Championship belt at SummerSlam over the weekend.
When Ronda wasn't ready to hear any of that ... an attack ensued.
If that looked familiar ... it's 'cause it was -- Ronda's done this TWO OTHER TIMES to Steph's arm over the years ... and tells us she's loving it every single time!!
There's more ... Ronda and her husband, Travis Browne, have hinted they could eventually team up in the WWE -- but, Tuesday morning, he said it doesn't look to be "in the cards" at the moment.
As for Ronda ... no date has been set for her first title defense. There are rumblings she could take on Nikki Bella at WWE Evolution in October -- which would be HUGE.
Nikki recently split with longtime boyfriend (turned fiance) John Cena and we're guessing she's got some aggression she's ready to take out.

Andrew Luck 'Fun' To Be Pummeled ... By Terrell Suggs!!
Ever seen a person giddy to be smashed to the ground by a 6-foot-3, 265-pound man??
Well, now you have ... 'cause Andrew Luck says he was downright HAPPY to have been destroyed by Terrell Suggs during the Ravens-Colts tilt Monday night.
"I told Anthony [Castonzo] on the sideline, I said, 'Man, it was sort of fun to get hit by Suggs right there!'" Luck said.

@DuaneLively
The Indianapolis QB hasn't gone crazy ... he's just been out for the past year nursing a shoulder injury -- and when he came up from the hard tackle and felt no pain, it was a happy moment.
"I was like, 'Oh, I landed on my right elbow.' It was sort of reminiscent of how I injured my shoulder a couple years ago. And, I didn't feel anything."
"I didn't give it a second thought. So, I think that's actually a big deal for me."
It was just about the only happy moment for Luck against Baltimore ... he ended the night just 6-for-13 with a brutal interception.
But ... for a guy who's taken just a handful of legit game snaps since January 2017 -- he'll happily take it.

Kenneth Faried Arrested for Weed ... Mug Shot
Brooklyn Nets star Kenneth Faried was arrested and charged for possessing more than 2 ounces of weed on Sunday ... and TMZ Sports has the mug shot.
The 28-year-old was arrested on the Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton, New York at 1:30 AM ... after the vehicle he was riding in was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint.
A rep for the Southampton Town Police Dept. tells us the officer at the scene noticed a "strong odor of marjuana was emanating from the inside of the vehicle."
Faried was booked for 4th degree unlawful possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. He was transported to a nearby station for processing.
The other 2 people got tickets and were released at the scene.
Cops say Faried got the harsher charge because he was in possession of more than 2 ounces.
If convicted, Faried faces up to a year in jail ... for WEED.
The Nets released a statement to TMZ Sports, saying, “We are aware of the situation involving Kenneth Faried and are in the process of gathering more information at this time.”
Faried spent 7 seasons with the Denver Nuggets before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets in July. He earned the nickname "The Manimal" from his physical style of play.

Kevin Hart Rips Trump, NFL ... At MTV VMAs
Kevin Hart came out strong against Donald Trump at the MTV VMAs on Monday -- telling the President straight-up, "Suck it."
Hart was presenting the first award of the night with Tiffany Haddish -- and set the tone early, saying, "You never know what's gonna happen at the VMAs. Beefs pop off, bad language, people run to the bathroom and send out crazy tweets. It’s basically like a typical day in the White House."
Then he dropped the hammer -- "In your face Trump, suck it!"
It didn't stop there -- he then put the NFL in the crosshairs.
"We are live coast to coast right now," Hart said ... "I'm looking at this like it's game day people. But do not worry, cause at this game you guys are allowed to kneel! You can do whatever the hell you want, 'cause there's no old white man that can stop you. Do it!"
Jimmy Butler I'm Cool with Dwyane Wade ... 'That's My Bro'
8/20/18
Jimmy Butler had himself one helluva Monday -- squashing beef with Dwyane Wade and going on a lunch date with a smokin' hot Instagram model ... and TMZ Sports has the video.
First, D-Wade ...
Everyone saw Dwyane clap back at Jimmy last week when the Minnesota Timberwolves star commented "WELL DAMN" on a hot photo of Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union.
Wade wrote to Butler, "Put well damn in caps on my wife photo again and you’re gonna see what the good, the bad and the ugly is like."
So, when we saw Butler at The Ivy in L.A. we had to ask if there was real smoke between the two. Butler answered and seemed to put the whole thing to bed.
Speaking of bed ... Butler's lunch date was an absolute dime -- and while he tried to play coy when leaving the restaurant, we ID'd her as famous Instagram model India Love.
Love is an aspiring rapper who's been romantically linked to stars like The Game, Rick Ross and Drake. She's basically a she-pimp (get it, gurl!) with 3.7 million IG followers.
No word if she and Butler are an item -- but we wouldn't hate if they were!

Trevor Bauer Apologizes To ESPN ... You Didn't Make Me Look Crazy
Trevor Bauer is much less pissed off at ESPN today ... 'cause it turns out the company DIDN'T actually air a tweet that he says made him look like a "lunatic" after all.
ICYMI ... the Indians superstar is famous for being a baseball brainiac -- and when he broke his leg last week, a reporter had some fun at Trevor's expense with the diagnosis news.
"Trevor Bauer says that the doctors' timeline for his return is based on outdated mainstream medicine and he's begun a course of blood transfusions and colloidal silver to rid his body of CIA nanites," Ringer staff writer Michael Baumann tweeted.
"He anticipates missing two starts, three tops."
Bauer initially found the tweet hilarious ... but when he believed MLB Network and ESPN ran with the tweet as fact -- he was not happy.
"Presenting it as fact on tv, thus painting me as some lunatic that’s off his rocker, is not ok at all," Bauer tweeted.
He continued in another tweet: "Hey @MLBNetwork and @espn I would like public statements on social media and on your networks clarifying that the information you wrongly reported as fact earlier regarding my recovery timetable and process is false and not a quote from me. The report is damaging and absurd."
Turns out ... ESPN didn't actually run the tweet -- which caused Trevor to issue a 35-second apology video Monday evening.
"It appears the information I was given and what I believed to have seen was wrong, and ESPN never aired the fake tweet."
"As spreading misinformation that damages people's reputations is what I was originally angry about, I wanted to set the record straight and apologize to ESPN for wrongly accusing them of broadcasting this misinformation."

Eric Karros Guarantees Dodgers Make Playoffs
It's a tight race in the NL West ... but Eric Karros says he's 100% convinced the Dodgers will scrap together a late season push and make the playoffs.
Also, he's super biased.
Karros -- the L.A. Dodgers' all-time home run leader -- has been involved with the Dodgers organization since 1991. So, he bleeds Dodger Blue, but he also knows when a team is doomed.
So, with the Dodgers currently 1.5 games out of the NL Wild Card spot with only 37 games left in the season ... and only winning 4 out of the last 10 games ... we asked if it's time to stick a fork in 'em.
EK is adamant the Dodgers will pull it together -- they haven't missed the playoffs since 2012 -- and tells us he's putting his faith in one man.
