Emmanuel Sanders Here's What I'm Thankful For ... My $12,000 Grill!!
Xmas came early for Broncos star Emmanuel Sanders ... who just hooked himself up with a brand new DIAMOND STUDDED GRILL ... and TMZ Sports has the photo.
The WR -- who signed a fat ass new $33 MILLION contract this off-season -- decided to spend a little cash to bling out his smile ... and went straight to the grill king, Johnny Dang.
Of course, Dang is tight with Sanders' teammate Von Miller -- and has done several grillz for Von in the past. So, when Emmanuel wanted his own set -- he met Dang at Von's mansion in Colorado for the initial fitting.
The final product -- an 18k gold frame packed with 4.5 carats of VVS princess cut diamonds. It's sick.
Dang tells us the grill usually runs around $12k -- but Sanders got the friends and family discount.
It'll go perfect with ES' stacks of cash and gold chains.
Congrats!

Steve Francis Wearing $1 MILLION Necklace ... During DWI Arrest
Steve Francis was BALLIN' OUT during his drunk driving arrest -- claiming he was wearing a $1 MILLION chain when cops took him into custody ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.
As we previously reported, the ex-NBA star was popped for DWI in Houston on Saturday night -- and allegedly threatened revenge on the arresting officers.
He was taken to a nearby police station where he was booked -- and while there, cops noted the "property" he had on him at the time ... which included a bunch of weed.
According to the police report, Francis' chain was a "yellow metallic necklace with 'M'" ... valued at $1,000,000. We're told the value was provided to the police by Francis himself.
Cops say he also had 21.92 grams of weed with paper rolls ... which seems a lot to most people but as one stoner in our office put it, "It wouldn't get Snoop out of bed in the morning."
The police report also lists Francis as 6'3", 220 lbs ... about 25 pounds heavier than his playing weight.
BTW, Francis reportedly made more than $100 MILLION during his NBA career ... so yeah, he can afford a million dollar chain.

Tyga Kylie Makes Me Sick If You Ask How Much I Spend On Her
Tyga went into serious medical distress mode Tuesday morning when the lawyer for a jeweler started asking him questions about how much loot he shells out for GF Kylie Jenner.
Celeb jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills hauled Tyga into a hearing to determine if he has enough money to satisfy a $200k judgment for a fancy chain and timepiece.
Tyga, who flipped off our photog and aimed a pretend gun at him on the way in, was pretty accommodating, telling Jason's lawyer, Boris Treyzon, about his income and what he owns. But then Treyzon started grilling Tyga about various gifts he's given Kylie, and that triggered a 911-type emergency.
We're told Tyga said he started feeling extremely ill, lost memory and became confused, telling the lawyer he just couldn't go on.
The tricky part ... Kylie has cooed openly on social media about various gifts she's received from her BF, including a Mercedes as a birthday present. If he can afford that, he can afford to pay Jason. But, if Tyga says he didn't give Kylie all that stuff, he's effectively saying she's a social media liar.
The hearing's been rescheduled for November 1st ... the same day Kylie's set to come in for a separate interview.

Kim Kardashian to Cops Thieves Were a Bunch of Amateurs
Kim Kardashian's robbers were rank amateurs ... and it showed from start to finish.
Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she told cops the robbers were extremely hesitant and tentative ... whisking her in and out of the bathtub, pointing a gun at her head ... walking away and then pulling the gun again for no apparent reason.
We're also told it seemed to Kim that the robbers were arguing over how to pull off the heist. Remember ... the robbers only spoke French.
As for the robbers mimicking cops ... we're told not even close. The uniforms looked like they came from a Halloween store.
The thieves used a garden-variety backpack to carry the jewels out. But they were extremely careless ... a $33,000 necklace ended up on the street as they made their getaway. And they left zip ties and duct tape behind.
Still ... they got away with it -- for now.
Kim Kardashian Robbery Diamond Cross Found ... Small Change Next to Ring
Kim Kardashian's robbers did NOT make a clean getaway -- they dropped one item, and we've learned the blinged-out piece came straight from famed jeweler, Jacob and Co.
The recovered jewelry is a platinum mounted diamond cross ... according to our sources. Amazingly, a passerby found it on a sidewalk outside the apartment complex the day after the robbery. We're told it's worth $33,180.
Police are checking the pendant for any traces of DNA that could potentially help crack the case.
As we first told you, the robbers made off with a total of 13 items, worth $5.6 million ... and that includes the massive $4 million diamond ring.
Hard to tell if it has enough diamonds to be the actual pendant, but Kim was sporting this cross in Paris just 2 days before the robbery went down.

Kim Kardashian My Wealth Won't Be in Your Face Anymore
Kim Kardashian has found God -- at a discount -- because after the robbery wealth will no longer be the driver of her brand.
Sources close to Kim tell us ... she actually agrees with critics who say she put a target on her back by flaunting her wealth and jewelry on social media. A number of people have been critical of Kim for posing with her $4.5 million diamond ring in the apartment shortly before the hit.
We're told Kim is taking a month off work and when she returns she's pulling back in a big way on social media. She won't be displaying her personal wealth ... and she'll even be less ostentatious with the promotion of her fashion line.
Kim has been rocked to her core after being tied up with a gun to her head. She's saying privately ... "Material things mean nothing. It's not all about the money," adding, "It's not worth it."
