Sources with direct knowledge tell us O.J. was, in fact, diagnosed with prostate cancer -- something he first alluded to in May 2023 in a video he posted to X. He never offered much detail, and seemed to suggest he had beaten it.

YouTuber Deestroying I Deestroyed My Neck ... In UFL Game

Popular YouTuber Deestroying's football comeback has hit a serious roadblock -- the internet personality just revealed he fractured his neck during a UFL game over the weekend ... and now, his focus is on getting back to 100 percent.

The moment went down during the San Antonio Brahmas' Week 2 matchup against the Memphis Showboats ... when Donald De La Hoye attempted a tackle while defending a kickoff return.

Dee appeared a bit shaken up by the play ... but managed to get up on his own power and trot back to the sidelines.

The Brahmas announced he was placed on Injured Reserve ... but on Tuesday, Dee revealed the extent of his ailment -- as well as a selfie that showed him in a brace.

"Thank y'all for all the good wishes," Dee said minutes ago. "Turns out on that tackle, due to bad form, I fractured my neck in a couple places."

"Although this sucks, I'm grateful cause it could have been all bad," he added.

Cody Rhodes My Tour Bus Caught On Fire ... 'It Was Up In A Big Fireball'

FIRE??? NO PROBLEM!!!
ESPN

Scary moment for Cody Rhodes in the leadup to this weekend's WrestleMania in Philadelphia -- he says his tour bus caught on fire ... but, thankfully, he made it out unscathed.

The American Nightmare told Pat McAfee on Friday morning the blaze started just hours earlier -- at around 1 AM -- just as he had settled into his bed to get a little bit of shuteye.

Rhodes says his driver noticed the flames -- and urged him to get out quickly. The 38-year-old WWE Superstar says he then grabbed a few pictures and his 'Mania boots -- before jetting off the ride.

Rhodes said the vehicle didn't burn down completely -- but, "it was up in a big fireball for a moment."

Fortunately, he said there were no injuries ... and he gave a big shoutout to the Philadelphia Fire Department for assisting in putting out the blaze.

Rhodes is slated to wrestle twice in the WWE's Super Bowl ... taking on The Rock and Roman Reigns with Seth Rollins on Saturday night -- and then wrestling against Reigns on Sunday night.

Rhodes says he didn't take the blaze as a bad omen -- especially considering The Rock beat him down in front of that bus just a few days ago -- in fact, he told McAfee he was viewing it as just the opposite.

"I think the universe was saying, 'Hey, we're going to set your bus on fire and you're still going to go in and wipe the floor with The Bloodline on Saturday,'" he said.

"'You're still going to do it.'"

Guess we'll all know in a little over 24 hours!

Justin Zanik Jazz's GM Reveals Kidney Failure ... In First Physical In 8 Years

Utah Jazz general manager Justin Zanik revealed he's been dealing with a serious health condition .... admitting he was in kidney failure after he was diagnosed with a disease that left only 14% of the organ's function.

The 49-year-old went into detail about the discovery on Monday ... explaining his wife, Gina, was concerned that he looked thinner and tired -- so she begged him to get a physical after missing the last eight annual exams.

Zanik -- who became the NBA team's GM in 2019 -- set up an appointment with the Jazz physician David Petron in September 2023 ... and was told he was in kidney failure.

The diagnosis is Polycystic Kidney Disease -- an inherited disorder where cysts develop on the kidneys causing them to work less -- and Dr. Petron said Zanik only had 14% of the kidney's use left.

Zanik will have to get a transplant -- something his father did 21 years ago ... and he found a match with his wife's best friend's husband. The procedure will happen on Tuesday.

"I'm a fixer by nature. My job with the Jazz, my role with my family -- I mean, I was a [player] agent for 15 years. I fixed a lot of s***. I'm the one who's supposed to help," Zanik said.

"I'm the one who's supposed to take care of everything. I really didn't know how to ask for help, but I had to get over it. I knew I had to get over it."

Zanik's children were also diagnosed with advanced forms of PKD ... and were told that Ava, Oskar, and Lucy would need transplants before they were 30 years old.

"We're going to do this together," Zanik said. "We're stronger together."

Zanik will stay at the University of Utah's hospital after the surgery to monitor the kidney and recover at home for the rest of the month.
