"I very much have always liked Peyton Manning," Trump said ... "He's a very good guy. I know him. So I have to go with the person who I know."

Trump says he knows the Panthers are the "hot team" -- and Cam Newton is "doing great" ... but when push comes to shove, he's siding with his pal Peyton.

Makes you wonder ... who he was rooting for last week when his friend Peyton took on his buddy Tom Brady?

University of Missouri QB Maty Mauk has been cut from the football team for his behavior in recent weeks ... but not specifically because of a video that appeared to show him snorting a line of coke.

Mizzou coach Barry Odom issued a statement saying, "I met with Maty Mauk this morning and informed him of my decision to permanently dismiss him from the football program."

"After gathering information and speaking with a number of individuals this week, it is clear Maty has failed to live up to those expectations by violating team rules in recent weeks."

"As for the video appearing on social media this week, it is concerning, but we believe it is from a long time ago. However, Maty’s failure to live up to expectations in recent weeks was the reason for this decision."

As for the final straw -- still unclear exactly what Coach Odom was referring to.

As TMZ first reported, Christy suffered bruises on the brain, according to production sources -- and there's crystal clear video of Terra's glass hitting Christy. From the clip, it's hard to tell if the container's plastic or glass ... but our sources say Christy believes it was glass.

The team issued a statement saying, "Griffin suffered a spiral fracture of the 4th metacarpal in his right hand throwing a punch on Jan. 23rd in Toronto."

"His conduct has no place in our organization and this incident does not represent who we are as a team."

"We are conducting a full investigation with assistance from the NBA. At the conclusion of the investigation, appropriate action will be taken."

The statement comes in the wake of reports Griffin punched the team's assistant equipment manager during a dispute at a restaurant.

NY Jets superstar Sheldon Richardson has pled guilty in his Bentley speeding case -- but he won't do any jail time as long as he keeps his nose clean for the next 2 years.

Richardson was pulled over near St. Louis back on July 14th after cops say he was going 143 mph in his Bentley -- and blew through a red light.

Not everything Jay Z touches turns to gold -- his cologne line is an absolute disaster and it's all his fault ... according to a lawsuit filed by the manufacturer.

Parlux Fragrances is suing Jay for failing to live up to his end of their deal. The company says it made a licensing agreement ... where it would use his name and image to launch Gold Jay Z in 2013.

But Parlux says Jay was supposed to do more -- like make social media posts and promotional appearances, but he declined. The co. says he refused to appear on 'GMA,' at Macy's and in Women's Wear Daily to pump up the scent.

Further, there was supposed to be a line of follow-up fragrances that Jay helped develop, but according to the suit ... he dodged meetings and the new colognes never got off the ground.

Parlux says it expected to haul in about $50 million over 2 years, but instead the whole deal is pepe le pew -- it's losing money, and stores are returning unsold inventory.

Jay's former perfume partners want damages of at least $18 million.

Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman admitted smoking a strain of synthetic marijuana called "spice" before crashing his truck back in October ... this according to police.

Coleman -- who is legally deaf -- was arrested for vehicular assault and hit and run in Bellevue, Washington after allegedly leaving the scene of a crash in which the other driver sustained serious injuries.

Now, cops have released the 102 page report on the investigation -- in which officials say Coleman admitted smoking spice ... and also had a lighter, a glass spoon pipe with residue and an opened bag of synthetic weed labeled "F'd Up!" and 3 unopened bags of a strain called "Mad Pitbulls."

But get this ... despite the admission, cops say Coleman's blood tested NEGATIVE for marijuana. However, officials noted blood wasn't drawn until several hours after the accident.

Another interesting thing ... cops say Coleman's agent told cops the NFL player had "issues" at practice earlier in the day and had to be helped to his vehicle.

Officials say they reached out to the Seahawks and were provided footage which showed Coleman walked to his car completely normal. Translation -- cops say the agent is a liar.

There's more ... cops say they also found 2 knives in Coleman's car -- and a thigh strap to holster one of the knives.

Investigators also say they found THC hard candy (edibles) and watermelon ribbon edibles ... and eye drops.

Florida State has reached a settlement with the woman who claimed she was raped by Jameis Winston in 2012 ... shelling out nearly $1 million to make her lawsuit go away.

The accuser's lawyers announced the terms of the settlement Monday -- saying the cash figure includes attorney's fees. FSU also agreed to make a 5 year commitment to training programs.

The accuser -- Erica Kinsman -- will reportedly receive $250k, her attorneys will get $700k.

As we previously reported, Kinsman sued FSU claiming the university ran a shoddy investigation in an effort to keep Winston on the football team. She had said the response to her accusations was "clearly unreasonable."

Kinsman issued a statement about the settlement saying, "I will always be disappointed that I had to leave the school I dreamed of attending since I was little. I am happy that FSU has committed to continue making changes in order to ensure a safer environment for all students."

Multiple people connected to Lawrence Phillips -- including his criminal attorney -- tell TMZ Sports the suicide note found with his body was NOT in the NFL star's handwriting ... adding more doubt to claims he took his own life.

As we previously reported, Phillips' family says they aren't buying the explanation from Kern Valley State Prison -- that Phillips committed suicide in his cell last week.

Now, Phillips' attorneys say the key to the case could be the handwriting in the note found in Phillips' sock on the day of his death.

Lawrence's lawyer paraphrased the letter to USA Today Sports:

"Did you hear the one about the football player who hung himself from the TV mount in his cell?" the letter read.

The lawyer explained, "And where it said football player, it looked like somebody after the fact put the letter 'X' before 'football,' so it said 'X-football player.'"

Phillips had hand penned dozens of letters during his time behind bars -- he definitely had a distinct style to his handwriting.

Lawrence's attorney says the ex-NFL star's family is now in the process of hiring an independent investigator to look into Phillips' death ... believing he may have been murdered.

The Motion Picture Academy is getting some "brothas on the wall" -- to quote Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" -- after unanimously voting to increase its minority and female membership.

Thursday night's vote -- a clear reaction to outrage over a lack of black Oscar nominees recently -- will not affect this year's ceremony, but instead aims to double the Academy's diversity by 2020.

Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs said they will immediately begin recruiting new minority members. She also announced new rules to ensure that the only members who get to vote on Oscar nominees will be those who are still actively making films.

Bottom line: If you're an Academy member who's old and out of touch with the latest movie culture ... your days might be numbered.

What the vote doesn't address is what Spike talked about -- which is more minorities at the studio level who decide which films get made.

Colts linebacker Sio Moore was arrested in Indianapolis last night ... after cops say he was burning rubber like a maniac on I-65.
