Tekashi69 Soccer Showdown with Hot IG Model ... Takes 'L'

Published | Updated

Remember when Tekashi69 said Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't score on him??

Well, he didn't say anything about ridiculously hot Instagram models.

The "FEFE" rapper got into a shootout with Brittany Renner -- aka bundleofbrittany -- a former college soccer star who has racked up more than 4 MILLION followers on IG.

The two made a soccer bet -- if he could stop all of her shots, Brit would have to move to NYC. And, if she scored on him ... he's gotta pack up and move to L.A.

Tekashi made a valiant effort -- but the former Jackson State striker just killed him ... even hitting a sick upper 90.

Call the movers?

6ix9ine has boasted A LOT about his soccer skills -- and even hit the pitch with international soccer superstar Mario Balotelli. He is definitely not the worst goalie we have ever seen, but he ain't exactly David de Gea either.

We'll give Tekashi the benefit of the doubt -- maybe he was a bit distracted.

Published | Updated

Les Moonves won't face criminal charges for a woman's claims he sexually abused her in the late '80s ... according to the L.A. County D.A.'s office.

The CBS honcho's accused of 2 separate incidents of sexual assault -- one in 1986 and one in 1988 -- by an unidentified woman who went to cops in February.

The woman -- listed as an acquaintance who knew Moonves through her job in the TV industry -- claims the 1986 incident included forced oral sex, and the 1988 allegations include indecent exposure and assault.

But, according to the D.A. ... the statute of limitations has expired for all of the alleged incidents, so prosecutors are declining to pursue charges.

As we reported ... CBS is investigating various accusations of sexual misconduct from 6 women against Moonves that were revealed in a New Yorker article last week.

NFL's Jordan Mailata Voice Of An Angel ... At 6'8", 346 lbs!

Published | Updated

NFL rookie Jordan Mailata might look like the Hulk ... but he can SANG like Jack Johnson -- 'cause the seventh round draft pick just SLAYED it on the guitar at Eagles camp!!

If you're unfamiliar ... Jordan is one of the baddest dudes on the planet, having consistently run over guys with his 6-foot-8, 346-pound frame on the rugby pitch in Australia the last few years.

But Philadelphia media members caught the new Eagles OL in a weak moment with his guitar Tuesday ... and the world is now a better place for it.

Jordan belted out 53 seconds of Mark Lowndes' "Hold" ... and it's guaranteed to make you swoon.

FYI ... Mailata is considered a longshot to make the reigning Super Bowl champions' roster this season -- but at least we know his fallback career is promising.

Floyd Mayweather On 50 Beef He Tried to Screw Al Haymon

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather says the core of his feud with 50 Cent is that the rapper tried to push out the guy who runs his business ... Al Haymon.

FYI, Al is Floyd's longtime manager -- and Floyd has credited him with having a crucial role in building his near-billion-dollar empire.

So, when Floyd appeared on Complex News and was asked about his beef with 50 -- Mayweather suggested it all began years ago when 50 Cent tried to cut Haymon out of Floyd's business and start his own thing with Mayweather.

Floyd also says 50 publicly claimed Mayweather owed him money -- and clearly that stuck in Floyd's craw.

"I don't owe anyone money."

Mayweather has also taken offense to 50's claim that he's a poser who didn't REALLY buy that famous $18 million diamond watch. He busted it out during the interview to prove 50 wrong.

And, while Floyd had SOME nice things to say about the rapper -- he ripped 50's show, "Power" ... saying this season is "sh*t."

50 Cent recently sent out a semi olive branch ... saying Floyd's his "brother" -- but then ripped him by saying he's illiterate and can't read any of his IG posts anyway.

LeBron James Trump's Using Sports to Divide America

Published | Updated

LeBron James says Donald Trump is using sports to create a racial divide in America ... and he won't sit back quietly anymore.

"What I've noticed over the last few months that he's kinda used sport to kinda divide us, and that's something that I can't relate to," James told CNN's Don Lemon at the opening of his I Promise school in Akron, Ohio.

It seems James is referencing Trump's stance on the national anthem demonstrations in the NFL -- the President has suggested firing any player who takes a knee during "The Star-Spangled Banner."

But, James says sports shouldn't divide people -- it should bring people of all races and backgrounds together.

"Sports was the first time I was ever around someone white. I got an opportunity to see them and learn about them, and they got the opportunity to learn about me and we became very good friends and I was like, ‘Oh wow, this is all because of sports.'”

Of course, LeBron has been very critical of Trump in the past -- even calling him a clown.

No tweet from Trump yet ... but guessing that's just a matter of time.

NFL's Christian Ponder Newborn Baby Undergoes Emergency Surgery

Ex-NFL quarterback Christian Ponder and his wife, ESPN host Samantha Ponder, say their newborn is home and recovering after undergoing emergency surgery just days after she was born.

Sam -- who hosts ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" -- said their daughter, Price, "ended up in emergency surgery in the middle of the night" after a series of "terrifying and sudden events."

"We were short on time and frankly, in shock," Ponder wrote on social media.

Ponder didn't specify the details surrounding the medical emergency -- but says the surgery was a success and now Price is at home and recovering.

"Her recovery in the #NICU was nothing short of miraculous for a tiny body that had just undergone such trauma."

She added, "Now, back to holding and singing (terribly) to this special girl. Thanks for loving and supporting our family in the good times and bad."

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Cast Backs James Gunn ... He's the Victim of 'Mob Mentality'

Published | Updated

'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn was done dirty by America's politically charged court of public opinion ... according to Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana and the rest of the 'GotG' stars.

The cast posted an open letter in support of Gunn, who Disney fired from the franchise in response to old tweets where he made several highly inappropriate jokes. In the letter they vouch for his character, accept his apology and hint Disney only canned him because it feared public backlash.

They wrote, "There is little due process in the court of public opinion. Given the growing political divide in this country, it's safe to say instances like this will continue." They went on to urge Americans to "ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality."

In the letter -- also signed by Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista and Michael Rooker -- they don't exactly demand Disney rehire Gunn ... but on social media, Pratt said he'd "love to see him reinstated as director of Volume 3." The cast insists Gunn's not done in Hollywood, and they look forward to working with "our friend James again in the future."

Baker Mayfield Rips Kliff Kingsbury You Treated Me Like Trash

Published | Updated
Baker Mayfield
HE WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON

Baker Mayfield opened up about why he hates his former Texas Tech coach, Kliff Kingsbury, so much -- essentially saying the guy kicked him to the curb when he got injured during a game.

The QB pulled no punches in his new FOX Sports docu-series, 'All The Way Up' -- saying Kliff treated him like a god when he stepped in and won 5 games as a freshman walk-on back in 2013.

But, when Baker sprained his MCL against Kansas -- Mayfield says everything changed.

"It went from being 'the guy' for Coach Kingsbury ... and then when I got hurt, it just changed a little bit ... not a little bit, a lot."

"All the sudden it was as if I hadn't played for him, hadn't done anything for him. It was just different after I got hurt."

Baker's father says the coach "completely withdrew his contact" with the QB after the injury -- "He didn't talk to Baker. He didn't include Baker in the meetings."

But, Mayfield says what REALLY pissed him off was when Texas Tech officials told him they didn't have a scholarship for him after that season ... despite the fact he was 5-0 as a starter.

"I've invested a lot into this and now you're telling me you don't have a scholarship for a guy who won 5 games after choosing to come here? That was the final straw for me."

Baker transferred to Oklahoma the next season -- and the rest is history.

Dennis Rodman Drops Kim Jong-un Bomb Joke ... at Bruce Willis Roast

Published | Updated

Dennis Rodman went nuclear on Bruce Willis at the Comedy Central roast -- and he used his friend, Kim Jong-un, as a punchline.

Everyone knows how seriously Rodman has taken his relationship with the North Korean dictator over the years -- but, when Dennis took the stage, he targeted Bruce with a bomb joke.

"Bruce, you keep making these f*cking bombs. Well, guess what ... so does Kim Jong-un. But at least Kim is smart enough not to release his."

It wasn't the only time Rodman referenced his dealings with North Korea -- he also told Martha Stewart the next time she gets locked up, he can help secure her release.

Dennis also dropped some penis, vagina and stripper jokes ... and praised Ed Norton for banging Salma Hayek.

Good times.

Lionel Messi Soccer Keep-Away With Dog Twice His Size

Published | Updated

Who's a good boy?!? Lionel Messi's dog, apparently.

The 31-year-old soccer superstar played a little keep-away from his furry friend in his yard Monday ... and it's all fun and cute -- until you realize the dog could end him at any time.

Hulk (appropriately named) is a Dogue de Bordeaux ... and weighs well over 100 pounds. If you're unfamiliar, Messi is pocket-sized, standing at 5'7" and weighing just 159 lbs.

So, neat tricks, Lionel ... but all of Argentina would probably be happier with a nice game of fetch.

As for Hulk ... belly rubs and treats all around for not killing one of futbol's biggest stars!

DAK'S STAND ON THE ANTHEM

Jerry Jones' biggest star is going to bat for the Dallas Cowboys owner and his new hardline stance on the national anthem kneeling ... with Dak Prescott saying the anthem ain't the time or place to protest.

The QB addressed reporters at Cowboys camp Friday and said he's fine with Jerry's new rule that forces players to stand ... 'cause it's something he's always believed in himself.

"I never protest during the anthem and I don’t think that’s the time or venue to do so," Dak said.

"The game of football has always brought me such at peace and I think it does the same for a lot of people playing the game, watching the game and a lot of people that have any impact of the game."

"So, when you bring such a controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game … it takes away. It takes away from the joy and to the love that football brings a lot of people."

Don't get it twisted ... Dak says he's all for fighting the battle against social injustices in America -- he's just ready to take a different step than kneeling during the anthem.

BTW ... the NFL is still working on a league-wide policy -- releasing a joint statement with the players association that said they're continuing discussions on a new rule after a "constructive meeting" Friday.

Brewers pitcher Josh Hader got BOOED for several minutes in his first road game since his racist and homophobic tweets from seven years ago surfaced.

Hader took the long walk from the bullpen to the mound Thursday night in San Francisco ... and Giants fans greeted him with a loud round of jeers.

Remember ... Josh had to apologize after his old tweets that included "I hate gay people," "White power" and "KKK" were dug up last week.

Donald Trump Applauds Cowboys' Anthem Policy ... Way To Go Jerry Jones!

Published | Updated

Jerry Jones officially laid the hammer down on the Cowboys' national anthem stance Thursday ... telling reporters, "Our policy is that you stand at the anthem, toe on the line."

Guess who was thrilled to hear that??

"Way to go Jerry," Donald Trump tweeted early Friday morning ... "This is what the league should do!"

The Cowboys owner wasn't the only one going bold on the issue this week ... with Jerry's son and Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones implying the Cowboys could CUT players if they don't follow the orders.

"When you're wearing the Dallas Cowboy uniform and a Dallas Cowboy helmet and you're working for the Dallas Cowboys, you check the 'I' and the 'me' at the door, and you're a part of a team," Stephen says.

The NFL has still yet to put pen to paper on a league-wide anthem policy after uproar over their initial one caused severe backlash ... but, one thing's for sure -- we know POTUS likes what he's hearing out of Dallas.
