Cordell Broadus Screw Football ... I'm Designing Men's Underwear
Cordell Broadus is trading football jerseys for underwear, but Snoop Dogg's son isn't just wearing the fancy drawers ... he's designing them.
Cordell shocked UCLA (and his dad) when he quit the football program to focus on his film production company -- but TMZ Sports has learned he has another side hustle with underwear co. PSD.
Founder Curt Flaitz tells us teaming up with Cordell was a no-brainer ... "He's a creative guy who's young and hungry. And he's been wearing our stuff forever." Cordell and the PSD team met this week to start mocking up designs that target younger buyers. Or as Flaitz put it ... "You know how there's a cool kids table at lunch. We make our products for those people."
Kyrie Irving, Chandler Parsons, and Marshawn Lynch officially rock PSD as celeb endorsers. Snoop's also a big fan of the brand.
Cordell's Christmas shopping just got a little easier.

James Harden Awesome Drunken Pledge To Make Adidas Amazing
James Harden is officially the greatest boozed up spokesman in sports history after making an amazing pitch for Adidas and disavowing Nike ... while spilling out of a club at 2 AM.
James Harden Adidas Drops the Hammer ... NO MORE JORDANS!!
James Harden went and bit the hand that's feeding him $200 million -- and now Adidas is pissed.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Harden was spotted wearing Nike Air Jordans as he left a movie theater with GF Khloe Kardashian -- even though he just signed that sweet deal to endorse Adidas.
Make no mistake ... Adidas expects a change. The company's North American pres told ESPN, Harden wearing their brand off the court as well is "part of the deal."
The Beard's deal kicks in on Oct. 1 ... so he's got 15 more days to enjoy his Jordans. After that, he better hide those suckers away for 13 years.
This sounds like Harden's warning. The next time might cost him dearly.

Kim Kardashian My Website Is Totally Worth Every Penny
Kim Kardashian is shrugging off criticism over the $2.99 monthly fee she charges for access to her website ... she says it's actually a great deal.
Kim's taking heat from blogs and users who think she's already made enough money on consumers. But our sources close to Kim say she's cutting her fans a break for her makeup tutorials.
There's big business with makeup lectures ... people paying upwards of $500 to see Kim and her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic live, so Kim thinks a $3 monthly fee is a steal.
And Kim says she's offering a lot more ... a style section where you can copy her everyday looks.
If that's not your thing ... there's always Khloe's new app where $2.99 buys you unlimited access to her workout videos.
Capitalism rules.
