3:15 PM PT -- In court docs, Harvard-Westlake officials say Martin checked into a mental health facility following his arrest ... but he might be out already and the school doesn't want to take any chances.

School officials say the fact Martin was arrested with a gun in his possession coupled with the fact he lives less than 45 minutes from campus is very concerning to faculty, parents and students.

The restraining order request was granted -- and Martin has been ordered to stay 150 yards away from the school.

Ex-NFL player Jonathan Martin's alma mater wants to make sure he comes nowhere near the famous high school after his arrest with a shotgun.

Harvard-Westlake High School filed docs Thursday to get a restraining order against Martin. As we reported, police detained him last week after he posted a photo of a shotgun and ammo, and tagged the names of 2 former Harvard-Westlake classmates -- as well as 2 of his Dolphins teammates, including Richie Incognito.

Out of precaution, the private school campus was shut down when Martin posted the photo. Police eventually located him and detained him. He was carrying a gun with him at the time the police caught up to him.

University of Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller just came out swinging against allegations he tried to pay a top recruit $100,000 to play for him ... saying, "I have done nothing wrong."

Miller appeared at a news conference Thursday to address reports that FBI wiretaps show he discussed making a $100,000 payment to lock up high school phenom Deandre Ayton.

"I have never paid a recruit to come to Arizona," Miller said ... who adds he also never DISCUSSED paying a recruit.

In short, Miller says the allegations are inaccurate, false and defamatory.

"I have never knowingly violated NCAA rules while serving as head coach at this great program."

Miller says he was approached with the suggestion of paying a recruit at one point during his career at U of A ... but he did NOT agree to pay the recruit and that player did not end up at the school.

Donald Trump Jr. wasn't the only target of the man who allegedly mailed him a letter with suspicious white powder ... according to cops who busted the suspect in Massachusetts.

Daniel Frisiello was arrested and charged with mailing 5 threatening letters to high-profile individuals around the country ... including the federal prosecutor in Mark Salling's child porn case.

Frisiello's letter addressed to Nicola T. Hanna contained the white substance and included the following message -- "That’s for murdering Mark Salling! I Hope you end up the same place as Salling."

Similar letters were sent to Stanford Professor Michele Dauber, Michigan Senator Deborah Stabenow ... and Antonio Sabato Jr., who's running for a congressional seat in California.

As we reported ... Don Jr.'s wife Vanessa opened Frisiello's alleged letter intended for DTJ, exposing her to an unidentified white powder. It was later determined to be cornstarch.

Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Lee crashed the Warriors vs. Wizards game Wednesday in D.C. -- and if ya couldn't tell, they LOVE their hometown Dubs ... unlike Donald Trump.

Pelosi and Lee hit up Steph Curry and the gang outside the Warriors' locker room after they got the W ... thanking the NBA champs for their trip to the nation's capitol, where they snubbed Trump in favor of hangin' with local youth.

But before the meet-and-greet, the SF and Oakland democratic reps got their fangirl on in the stands!! (Dope scarf, Nancy ... but Barb wins with her custom "The Town" jersey.)

“They make us proud ... they are civic leaders. We are huge fans,” Lee told the Washington Post.

FYI, Pelosi invited the Dubs to hang with her in D.C. after POTUS pulled their White House invite ... but the fact that she sought THEM out says a lot.

Guessing they'll hook her up with better seats at Oracle ...

Sad news for Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly ... who just announced his oral cancer has returned.

Kelly was initially diagnosed with oral cancer back in 2013. He beat it once -- and then it resurfaced. He beat it again. Now, Kelly says he's facing round 3.

"The oral cancer we hoped would be gone forever has returned," Jim said in a statement.

"As our family has faced many trials and triumphs throughout the years, you have blessed us with your prayers. We are asking for those prayers once again."

"Although I was shocked and deeply saddened to receive this news, I know that God is with me."

He added, "With all of you by my side, we will fight and win this battle together. Staying 'Kelly Tough' and trusting God, will carry us through this difficult time."

Jim's wife, Jill, also commented ... saying, "The cancer is back. We are shocked, heartbroken, sad, angry, confused, and just darn tired."

"Yet, despite how we feel, we KNOW that God is a promise maker and keeper."

Wow, talk about a twist!

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has just confirmed reports that his 38-year-old girlfriend gave birth to a secret baby -- but he insists he's NOT the daddy!

Ricki Noel Lander gave birth to the kid back in 2017 but nobody knew about it until Page Six broke the story Wednesday evening. It seemed 76-year-old Kraft was the father since they've been dating for about 5 years.

But, Kraft's reps just issued a "Billy Jean"-style statement saying -- the kid is not my son.

"Last fall, Ricki Noel Lander became the proud mother of a beautiful, healthy baby," the rep tells TMZ Sports.

"While Robert Kraft is not the biological father, he is thrilled with Ricki’s blessing of having a healthy child. With respect to her family’s privacy, we will not be commenting any further."

6:43 AM PT -- Kraft's reps just issued a statement saying he is actually NOT the father of his GF's baby.

"While Robert Kraft is not the biological father, he is thrilled with Ricki’s blessing of having a healthy child."

Age ain't nothin' but a number for Robert Kraft ... the 76-year-old Patriots owner's 38-year-old girlfriend has reportedly given birth to a secret baby -- and signs point to Kraft being the daddy.

Kraft's GF, Ricki Noel Lander, gave birth to the baby in 2017, according to Page Six ... but kept everything from the pregnancy to the delivery out of the public eye.

When reached for comment, the Patriots told Page Six, "This is a private matter."

Kraft -- who already has 4 adult sons -- reportedly bought Lander a home in Los Angeles and is taking care of both Ricki and the baby.

We've seen them out and about for years -- most recently back in December when they were strolling around Beverly Hills together and Kraft bragged that he was with a "lovely lady."

Sooooo ... congrats!?

Ain't nuthin' but a g-string baby ... and Johnny Manziel loves it!!

The QB hit the beach in Miami for a little fun in the sun with his fiancee, Bre Tiesi -- who turned heads in a tiny electric green bikini ... and it was gooood.

Manziel has been training his face off for his football comeback -- recently doing sand drills with his former Cleveland Browns teammate, Joe Haden.

Of course, Bre looks amazing ... but Johnny looks great, too -- putting back some of the muscle he had lost when he was partying his way out of the NFL.

Harvey Weinstein's insurance company wants no part of his multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits ... and is marching into court to make sure it doesn't get burned.

Chubb Indemnity Insurance Company just filed docs asking a judge to declare it's not responsible for defending Weinstein in 11 lawsuits. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, the cases all relate to his "pattern of intentional, egregious sexual predatory behavior" over 30 years.

The company says its policies issued to Weinstein specifically do NOT cover sexual misconduct or harassment. Chubb says it's already informed Weinstein he's on his own in his legal battles.

According to Chubb, Weinstein's lawyers are challenging that in at least one of his lawsuits.

LeBron better start knucklin' up ... 'cause the baller he's been beefin' with is getting boxing lessons from a UFC superstar!!

That superstar is former middleweight champ Chris Weidman -- who came through Knicks practice on Wednesday to chill with his hometown hoops squad ... including Bron's trash-talkin' rival, Enes Kanter.

Weidman shot around with Enes -- but it looks like they had more fun strappin' on the gloves to get the Turkish big man ready for a potential throwdown with the King.

"Hey @kingjames, I've been training my guy @eneskanter11. Best think twice before messing with the Orange and Blue again," Chris tweeted at LeBron.

FYI, Kanter called LBJ a "queen" and a "princess" after they got in each other's faces in November ... and trolled him after a game last month, too.

Stipe Miocic is from Cleveland, Bron -- might be time to reach out.

Donald Trump Jr. is facing a Manhattan judge ... he showed up for jury duty Wednesday, and there's a chance -- slim, we think -- he could be selected to serve as a juror.

President Trump's oldest reported to the New York County Criminal Court building -- and it was pretty obvious someone in the First Family was there. Secret Service is swarming around the building, and there's a huge line to enter the courthouse ... most likely due to increased security with a Trump in the house.

We called his office, and we were told he's "happy to be there."

According to the NY Post ... Junior was selected for a jury panel, along with about 80 other potential jurors, in an attempted robbery case.

More money woes for The Weinstein Company -- one of its credit card companies is coming after it for a huge unpaid bill.

American Express filed legal docs Wednesday claiming TWC's corporate account has an outstanding balance of more than $1.38 million, and the money's due immediately ... plus court costs.

It's unclear where TWC spent all that dough, but as we reported ... it plans to file bankruptcy in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, because it's been hemorrhaging assets and dealing with multiple lawsuits.

Rich Rodriguez is firing back at his ex-assistant accusing him of sexual harassment -- saying her claim he grabbed his wiener in front of her is such complete bullcrap, he took a lie detector test to prove it.

It's all outlined in RichRod's attorneys' response to Melissa Wilhelmsen's notice of claim filed with the AZ Attorney General's office ... where they denounce the allegations that the ex-University of Arizona football coach terrorized her for years.

In the 290-page document, Rodriguez's lawyers poke holes in Melissa's most serious accusations -- including the "shameless, outrageous lie" that RichRod began "grasping his penis beneath his basketball shorts" in a closed-door meeting.

His lawyers say Rodriguez took a "rigorous polygraph examination" administered by a member of the American Polygraph Association to fight this claim -- and the results prove their client's innocence.

"The relevant questions put to him were, 'Did you ever expose your genitals to Melissa?' and 'Did you ever show your genitals to Melissa?' Coach Rodriguez answered 'no' to both questions."

"The testing confirmed 'no deception indicated' ... this event simply did not happen."

Of course, the accuracy of polygraph tests are controversial to say the least. Most courts won't allow polygraph results to be submitted as evidence in a case.

In the new filing, Rich's attorneys also slam Melissa for claiming RichRod ignored a warning from a team staffer about his former player, Zach Hemmila, the day before he committed suicide.

"Of all the Wilhemsens' false claims, there is none more cruel and despicable than this one -- attempting to use the tragic accidental death of a young student-athlete to extort $7.5 million from the Rodriguezes."

They claim Rodriguez actually spoke at length with Zach in the days prior to his death ... and had also been in contact with his family.

Charles Barkley says college basketball is still GREAT because it helps black kids get a free college education -- and he dismisses the NCAA recruiting scandals as a few bad apples.

"The NCAA has some issues," Barkley told Adam Glyn in NYC ... "but what about all those kids who got to go to college for free?!"

"There's a few guys who are corrupt, I understand that. But, I always look at the big picture."

"I want all them young black kids getting their free education!"

The NCAA has been under fire recently after several high-profile players and programs were allegedly involved in schemes to pay players ... sometimes the payments reached 6 figures.

As for how Barkley would fix the system -- he says it's not as simple as just saying, "Pay the athletes."

"I don't know how to pay 'em. Who do you pay? Do you pay the basketball team? You pay the football team? You pay the girls teams? It's not that simple."

Shaquille O'Neal and his family were so excited for Shareef to commit to UCLA last night -- they made a victory family dance video!!!

We told you first ... Shareeef was leaning toward signing with the Bruins after decommitting from the University of Arizona following a recruiting scandal involving the head coach.

Well, Tuesday night, Reef -- one of the best high school hoops players in the country -- made it official ... and his mother Shaunie couldn't be happier (he'll be close to home!).

Then ... the family dance party broke out.

Shaq also posted a message about his son's decision -- "My baby @shareefoneal decided he’s gonna be a Bruin."

"Me and your mom @shaunieoneal5 are proud of you dude. This is the first of many steps to fulfill your dreams. #prouddad."
