Donovan McNabb QB Masked Boozy Breath with Cough Drops
Seems Donovan McNabb tried the ol' boozy breath cover up trick before his DUI -- 'cause cops say he had TWO cough drops in his mouth when they arrived to the crash scene.
In the incident report, obtained by TMZ Sports, cops say McNabb had all of signs of a drunk person when they approached him after he smashed into another car in Arizona on June 28th -- plus one cop said, "I noticed a strong, fruity odor on his breath."
When the officer asked what the smell was, McNabb said he was fighting a cold and had taken Robitussin and was eating 2 cough drops.
Cops asked McNabb to spit out the drops -- he did -- and suddenly, the arresting officer says he could definitely detect a "strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath."
According to the report, McNabb admitted he had been at a local sports bar before the incident -- and was just trying to get home. At one point, he asked if he could just walk back to his house, but insisted he was "good to drive."
Cops didn't believe him and arrested McNabb for DUI -- and things got worse.
As McNabb was walking into the detention area at the police station, he tripped ... another sign he was drunk, cops say.
McNabb didn't take a breathalyzer -- but submitted blood. The results were not included in the report.
But the saddest part ... when the officer was asking D.M. if he understood the booking process, Donovan interrupted him and said, "I know what it means. I've been through this before."

Adrien Broner Sentenced In 'Rich & Famous' DUI Case
You won't see boxing superstar Adrien Broner flossin' around in his expensive cars anytime soon -- because his driver's license was JUST suspended as part of his sentence in his DUI case.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Broner was popped for drunk driving in Ohio back in January -- and during the arrest, bragged that he was rich, famous and made more than $100 MILLION in his boxing career.
Now, we've learned ... Broner struck a deal with prosecutors in which he pled no contest to 1 count of misdemeanor reckless driving -- and was sentenced to 6 months probation, his license has been suspended for 6 months and he has to complete a driver's safety course.
Broner was also sentenced to 30 days in jail ... but most likely won't do the time because that part of his sentence was "suspended" ... meaning it'll only be enforced if he screws up.
So, don't screw up.

Donovan McNabb Arrested for DUI In AZ ... Again
Ex-NFL QB Donovan McNabb was popped for DUI in Arizona on June 28th ... the second time he's been arrested for DUI in 2 years.
The Gilbert Police Department says McNabb rear-ended a car that was stopped at a red light around 11:35 PM -- and when cops arrived to the scene, they determined Donovan was drunk.
The 38-year-old was subsequently arrested for DUI and transported to a nearby police station where he was booked, cited and eventually released.
As we previously reported, McNabb was arrested in December 2013 after cops say he was speeding in Maricopa County around 3 AM. He served 1 day in an AZ jail.
As for what McNabb is facing ... we spoke with John Kelly, a DUI attorney in Arizona, who tells us Donovan is realistically looking at 9 to 10 days in jail if convicted of a normal DUI (the punishment could get a lot worse if his blood alcohol level was "extreme").
Kelly says it's also common for people convicted of a 2nd DUI to have a ignition interlock system put in their car, which requires a breathalyzer test before the user can turn on the vehicle.
In addition, Kelly says McNabb will also face court fines in the $3,000 to $5,000 range.

Bobbi Kristina Nick Gordon Says Drugs Did Her In ... Not Him
Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend Nick Gordon has not said a word about the bathtub incident that apparently will prove fatal, but TMZ now knows Nick's story ... that he did nothing to harm Bobbi Kristina and drugs did her in.
A member of Bobby Brown's family recorded Nick on February 21, 3 weeks after Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital. Even though Nick didn't know he was being taped, the call was legally recorded because Georgia is a 1-party state.
Nick says, "I'll tell you the honest truth, Krissy, she was under a lot of stress and we were all doing drugs and you know, all, all drinking, bro."
And then he said this: "She just did too much man. She, listen, listen bro. I will officially stay from bath tubs forever, I'll tell you that."
He then rails on those who think Bobbi Kristina's injuries prove he tried to kill her, saying, "When Krissy wakes up she'll tell the truth to everybody. Everybody will feel stupid as f***... You know Krissy got in an accident 2 days before this happened and the man is in critical condition right now."
He then warns the family, saying, "If they take her off that life support, the police are going to have to take me down bro."
Gordon is considered a person of interest in the case, and if Bobbi Kristina dies it will become a murder investigation.
