Despite being demonized in the Wells Report, Richie Incognito hit the L.A. club scene last night -- to party like he didn't have a care in the world ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

Incognito hit up Warwick bar and lounge on Sunset Blvd. Saturday night -- sporting a big 'ol smile and a hat that read, "SWAG."

It was clear, incognito didn't want to talk about Jonathan Martin -- or the Wells Report -- or anything else related to the allegations that he bullied people on the Miami Dolphins ... but DID want to talk about Johnny Manziel.

In fact, Richie stopped and explained why he thinks Johnny's a "hell of a football player" and why he'll go in the first round in the NFL Draft.

Several women who attended Darren Sharper's female football camp are blown away by allegations he raped multiple women -- telling TMZ Sports he could've had any woman he wanted!

The New Orleans Saints superstar hosted the "Football Camp for Her" in N.O. back in 2011 and 2012 ... teaching women about the sport. The event raised money for a breast cancer charity.

Now, after he was charged with drugging 4 women and raping two of them over a 3-month period, some of the women from camp tell us they couldn't be more shocked.

"I saw the way the women were looking at him," one camper says ... "He could've had anyone of those girls. He's a triple threat -- pretty, rich and talented."

All of the women we spoke with described Darren as a "nice guy" ... "He was friendly.. he was a gentleman."

One women told us, "Darren is the type of person that anyone in this town would want as their neighbor."

Officials believe they have a smoking gun in the Darren Sharper rape investigatin ... a shot glass that tested positive for a drug used to knock people out ... this according to court documents.

The L.A. County D.A. filed documents in which the former New Orleans Saints star is accused of drugging 11 people in multiple states (CA, LA, AZ, NV) and raping 7 WOMEN.

But the hardest proof may come from AZ -- where Sharper is accused of going home with 3 women he met in a Scottsdale nightclub on Nov. 20.

According to the docs, Sharper went to their place and poured 2 of them shots. Sharper allegedly raped both of the women.

But ... the next day, the women went to the cops -- and one of the shot glasses Sharper allegedly used to drug his victims was collected from the apartment.

The glass was tested ... and cops say the results show it tested positive for Ambien -- the drug Sharper allegedly used to drug all of his victims.

Darren Sharper has been REMOVED from an upcoming celebrity cruise to Mexico in the wake of horrific rape allegations ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We know ... the former New Orleans Saints superstar had been booked to appear on the 1st Annual "Saints Ahoy Charity Celebrity Fan Cruise" to Cozumel, Mexico on March 13th.

Sharper was supposed to join fellow Saints studs Lance Moore, Roman Harper and Kenny Stills.

But after Sharper was arrested in L.A. last month for allegedly raping multiple women -- the cruise decided to cut Sharper from the event immediately.

A rep for the cruise tells us, "The minute the allegation became public, Darren was removed from the cruise."

"The people in charge of the charities didn't want it to hurt the sales. It was the best thing for the cruise."

Congrats to retired NFL star Jamal Lewis for passing the most important test of his life -- an online financial management course -- in an effort to convince a U.S. Bankruptcy court he's a changed man.

We broke the story ... the former Baltimore Ravens running back -- who once racked up more than 2,000 yards in a single season -- filed for bankruptcy back in 2012 after racking up more than $10 MILLION in debts!!

But now, TMZ Sports has learned ... Lewis enrolled in the illustrious "Dave Ramsey Education Course" and completed an online class on February 12th ... bringing hm one step closer to financial recovery.

Richie Incognito posed for a photo with his penis thiiiis close to the ear of a sleeping Miami Dolphins teammate ... this according to NFL investigators.

In the report, spearheaded by Ted Wells, investigators say the offensive linemen "routinely communicated and behaved in a profane manner" and sometimes sent each other shocking photos on the group text message chain.

One of the pics, according to investigators, shows Incognito "holding his penis near the ear of a sleeping or unconscious teammate."

At the time the photo was taken, Richie was surrounded by other laughing teammates, including Jonathan Martin.

Another pic features "Incognito's own excrement."

Former NFL superstar Darren Sharper just appeared in an L.A. courtroom to face charges for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women.

Sharper appeared stoic inside the courtroom -- wearing a grey pinstriped suit as he stood next to his attorney Blair Berk.

The case was continued to a later date.

We broke the story ... Sharper has been hit with 7 felony counts -- after officials say he drugged 4 women and raped two of them in his L.A. hotel room.

Officials say Sharper met all of the women at the same West Hollywood nightclub ... and gave them shots containing a drug that allegedly knocked them unconscious.

If convicted, Sharper faces more than 30 years behind bars.

Richie Incognito says the report released by NFL investigators is "replete with errors" ... and he still maintains he NEVER bullied Jonathan Martin.

Incognito’s attorney Mark Schamel tells TMZ Sports ... "Mr. Wells' NFL report is replete with errors. The facts do not support a conclusion that Jonathan Martin's mental health, drug use, or on field performance issues were related to the treatment by his teammates."

As we previously reported ... the NFL investigation, led by Ted Wells, stated Martin WAS INDEED harassed and bullied by Incognito and two other members of the Miami Dolphins.

Schamel continues, "It is disappointing that Mr. Wells would have gotten it so wrong, but not surprising. The truth, as reported by the Dolphins players and as shown by the evidence, is that Jonathan Martin was never bullied by Richie Incognito or any member of the Dolphins Offensive line."

Darren Sharper has just been charged with 2 counts of rape in L.A. ... after the former New Orleans Saints superstar allegedly drugged multiple women and raped them in his hotel room ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Among the charges ... two counts of rape by use of drugs, four counts of furnishing a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance, all felonies.

Sharper -- who had a Hall of Fame-caliber NFL career as a safety -- is accused of drugging the women with zolpidem (Ambien).

Officials say Sharper met the two women in a West Hollywood nightclub on October 30th and invited them to another party.

On the way, officials say they stopped at Darren's hotel room and he gave them each a shot.

The women then passed out and hours later one of the women claims she woke up with Sharper sexually assaulting her. The second woman says she woke up and "interrupted his actions."

Officials say Sharper STRUCK AGAIN on January 14th ... when he returned to the same West Hollywood nightclub and found two more women.

Sharper allegedly pulled the same scheme -- inviting them back to hs room, gave them a shot, they passed out, he raped them.

Officials say both women left his hotel and sought medical treatment.

Sharper was arrested on January 17th. He was released on $200k bail. In addition to the rape, officials also say he was illegally in possession of morphine.

If convicted, Sharper faces more than 30 YEARS in prison. Officials are recommending the judge set his bail at $100 MILLION.

(Update: We're told the $100 million bail was a typo ... officials meant to request a $10 MILLION bail).

Officials say Sharper is also accused of raping women in 3 other states -- including Arizona, Nevada and Louisiana.

The NFL investigation into Richie Incognito has been released ... and it says the Miami Dolphins player DID bully Jonathan Martin ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE in the Dolphins organization.

The report, led by investigator Ted Wells, says ... "After a thorough examination of the facts, we conclude that three starters on the Dolphins offensive line, Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey, engaged in a pattern of harassment directed at not only Martin, but also another young Dolphins offensive lineman ... and a member of the training staff."

The report continues, "We find that the Assistant Trainer repeatedly was targeted with racial slurs and other racially derogatory language. Player A frequently was subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching."

"Martin was taunted on a persistent basis with sexually explicit remarks about his sister and his mother and at times ridiculed with racial insults and other offensive comments."

Among the insults geared toward his sister, the report find Incognito, Pouncey and Jerry would fire out things like:

-- "Hear your sister has a wolf-puss. A fat, hairy p**sy."
-- "Hey, Jmart's sister is in town. Get the plastic sheets ready, she's a squirter."
-- "We are going to run a train on your sister."
-- "I'm going to bang the sh*t out of her and spit on her and treat her like sh*t."

We know Incognito and Pouncey are tight ... in fact, the two went berserk together in a bar in Florida, with a shirtless Incognito screaming the N-word and stomping around the place.

Investigators say ... Jonathan Martin had a fragile mindset going into the team -- partly because he had been bullied in middle school and high school. Martin's depression led to suicidal thoughts in 2013 ... after the bullying by his Dolphins teammates.

In the report, investigators say ...one of the offensive lineman was "often was called a 'f*g' or 'f*ggot' and was 'accused of sucking d*ck and pissing while sitting down, asked where's your boyfriend?"

Investigators also say one of the linemen was once physically restrained by Pouncey -- who told Jerry to "come get some pussy."

"Jerry responded by touching [the player's] buttocks in a way that simulated anal penetration."

The report says Dolphins offensive line coach Jim Turner was aware of the running joke that [one of the linemen] was gay ... and on at least one occasion participated in the taunting.

The report also mentions that Incognito -- and other members of the offensive line -- would use a notebook to track fines issued by their "kangaroo court."

According to the report, Incognito recorded a $200 fine against himself for "Breaking Jmart" ... which meant he caused Martin to have an emotional reaction to the bullying.

Investigators say Incognito then tried to destroy the book to cover his tracks.

The report includes a "Pros and Cons list" about continuing to play football ... which he wrote in the midst of the bullying.

On the "pros" list -- it's fun, he can make a lot of money, he'll have a legacy.

The "cons" list paints a sad picture:

-- "I hate going in everyday."
-- "Maybe I'll start to like myself."
-- "I am unable to socialize with my teammates in their crude manner."

As for Incognito's claims that Martin made up the allegations -- investigators are clear ... "We reject the assertion by Incognito that Martin has fabricated claims of harassment after the fact."

Just like women and their purses ... men are becoming addicted to expensive designer backpacks -- just ask Colin Kaepernick, who rocked a $200 bag through LAX yesterday.

Colin's bag was designed by Pink Dolphin ... but he's not the only top male athlete with a couture back bag.

Just the other day we saw DeMarcus Cousins flashing his MCM Six Stud Stark Backpack, which runs anywhere from $600 to $1,000.

There's more ... NBA superstar Anthony Davis has a $1,500 Gucci ... Floyd Mayweather has an MCM where he keeps his cash ... and there's many, many more.

Somewhere, Carrie Bradshaw is smiling.

Erin Andrews took a break from being yelled at by NFL superstars to remind you ... she's actually in pretty good shape.

Andrews and L.A. Kings star Jarret Stoll are on a little couples retreat at the moment -- and decided to spice things up with a stand-up paddle board session.

Not as exciting as getting screamed at by Richard Sherman ... but still, impressive.

Before the Super Bowl, Jeremy Piven said Peyton Manning was the GOLD STANDARD for a celebrity pitchman -- but after his pathetic performance, is Peyton's star falling in Hollywood?

Piven was leaving Freewheel Sports in Larchmont today and made a strong case for why Peyton's still the man ... but not everyone's convinced.

Some people in the office think Peyton's marketing power took a serious hit on Feb. 2nd -- and it could open the door for other players like Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman to swoop in on those coveted sports-oriented endorsements.

Then again, no one rocks a pair of stunner shades like #18.

A New Jersey police chief is stepping up for Richie Incognito ... telling investigators he was there during an allegedly explosive night between R.I. and Jonathan Martin ... but the cop says Richie did NOTHING wrong.

TMZ Sports has a letter written by the police chief and sent to investigators connected to the Ted Wells investigation which was launched in the wake of the bullying allegations.

The letter describes an April 26 dinner involving Martin, Incognito, Will Yeatman and Anthony Fasano ... where Martin allegedly stormed out after Richie dropped the N-bomb.

In his letter to investigators, the police chief says he was also there that night ... and based on his years of experience as an officer and a detective, says he witnessed NO inappropriate behavior on Richie's part.

In fact, the chief says the Dolphins players all participated in a "fun" Vine video that night, in which they were all smiling and laughing.

"At no time did I ever hear Ritchie speak condescendingly to or attempt to intimidate Jonathan or anyone else at this restaurant."

The chief says Martin never stormed out -- or mentioned that he was uncomfortable in any capacity.

The chief also says he has spent a lot of time with both Martin and Incognito over the years and says, "They have always appeared to me to have a close and amiable relationship -- very much like best friends."

NFL superstar Ed Reed was jacked to the tune of $50,000 ... when burglars allegedly followed him out of a Houston bank and stole a big bag of cash from his car.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the former Houston Texans star says he pulled the money out of a Bank of America ... and went to ANOTHER bank.

While Reed was in the second bank, he claims someone smashed the side window of his grey 2006 Audi and jacked the loot, which was in a bag.

It all went down around 2:00 PM -- in broad daylight.

Cops say they believe Reed was followed from the first bank to the second bank. Officials are now on the hunt for the suspects.

We're told cops are hoping bank surveillance video captured an image of the cash thief.

Terrell Owens' estranged wife was hospitalized this weekend after an apparent suicide attempt ... sources connected to the situation tell TMZ Sports.

Just days after Rachel Snider left T.O. and moved back to Texas, she was hospitalized for what she described on Twitter as "suffering from a broken heart."

Now, we're told ... Snider's condition was actually very serious and she's been in the hospital ever since. So far, no specifics on her condition or the nature of her injuries.

We broke the story ... Snider left Owens just two weeks after they tied the knot, claiming Owens was only using her for money. T.O. denied the financial allegations but says he wants out of the marriage just as bad as she does.
