Haven't seen a German get steamrolled like this since Stalingrad ...

Moments after Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins blew a game-winning field goal during an NFL game in London, a German reporter went live on the field for a post-game interview.

Well, he tried ...

A Redskins team official shut the whole thing down HARD -- while the dude was ON ZEE AIR!!

It's pretty hilarious ... and also, not the first time the Redskins guy has done that (it also happened in 2014!)

Remember, NO MEANS NO!

A scofflaw tried inserting himself in the Patriots / Bills game Sunday by firing a dildo on to the field.

A ref was tasked with the duty to remove the errant projectile from the 5-yard line.

Unclear what happened to the fan but we're guessing he was rooting for the Bills, and if so, he's a sore loser.

Jacksonville Jaguars star Marcedes Lewis says Gus Bradley ain't why the team is losing -- praising the guy as a great coach -- and putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of the players.

With rumors swirling that Bradley could be fired any moment after their 2-5 start, TMZ Sports spoke with Lewis to find out how the team is handling the situation.

"Gus is one of the best coaches I've ever been around," Lewis said. He says the players still have Bradley's back.

When asked about criticism of the coaching staff, Lewis says -- "It's not really about the coaches. They're not playing between those lines every Sunday."

Moving forward, Lewis says the team is still gunning for the playoffs.

ATTENTION, SPORTS GAMBLERS!!!!

Wanna (possibly) win some money this weekend??? Pay attention ...

The guy who's handicapping prowess inspired the movie "Two For The Money" is about to give you free cash (maybe) ... by revealing the biggest LOCKS of the NFL gambling weekend.

TMZ Sports spoke with Brandon Lang ... Matthew McConaughey played him in 'TFTM' ... and asked him -- for you guys of course, not for us -- to reveal the safest bets for this NFL weekend.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION -- Brandon breaks it down good ... and even though we really don't know what the hell he's talking about ... we're gonna go ahead and go with his picks anyway.

NFL great Tony Gonzalez says players bellyaching about Roger Goodell having too much power are RIGHT ... but if they're looking for someone to blame for it, they ought to look squarely in the mirror.

We got Tony getting his munch on in Beverly Hills and asked him if he agrees with Richard Sherman's statements that Roger Goodell has too much power over the NFL.

It's common refrain amongst players ... with some saying Goodell's role as judge, jury and executioner of the rules of the league is just too much for one guy.

Don't stick a fork in Jacksonville yet -- they've still got a real shot at the playoffs ... so says Jaguars great Marcus Stroud.

The 3-time Pro Bowler -- who retired in 2012 -- says he'll always be a Jag at heart and is pulling for his guys to get their act together before it's too late.

Stroud points out that his team could still put together a winning streak and take the AFC South -- especially with all the talent they have "on paper."

Turns out J.J. Watt is getting some action this season after all ... 'cause he's officially dating pro soccer star Kealia Ohai!!!

FYI, Ohai is a 24-year-old forward on the Houston Dash. She was a stud in college -- leading North Carolina to a national championship in 2012.

She was also the #2 overall pick in the 2014 National Women's Soccer League college draft.

Kealia also happens to be Brian Cushing's sister-in-law.

The rumors about their secret relationship has been floating around for months -- but now Ohai has finally confirmed it on the 2 Up Front podcast.

"The rumors are true. We are dating," Ohai said.

"I've known J.J. for a really long time, and we've always been really great friends, and yeah, I'm really proud of him for everything he's been going through, but it's been pretty crazy with all the rumors."

Congrats!

3:10 PM PT -- Sources close to Ware tell TMZ Sports DeMarcus believes the burglary was an "inside job" ... committed by suspects who "work in the apartment building."

Great news for DeMarcus Ware -- cops say they have captured the two men suspected of burglarizing the NFL star's home on Monday ... and even got his Super Bowl ring back!

As we previously reported, two men broke into Ware's Denver home while the Broncos were playing the Texans on "Monday Night Football" -- and the burglary was caught on surveillance tape.

Now, the Denver PD says 40-year-old Billy McCaslin and 31-year-old Sergio Irreza have been apprehended -- along with the stolen property!

The cops also sent out a tweet thanking the City of Denver for help in the investigation.

It's obvious Antonio Gates supports the NY Giants decision to fire Josh Brown -- telling TMZ Sports any player who becomes a distraction has gotta go ... period.

The Chargers superstar's real message here is that players are ALWAYS replaceable and on thin ice -- and if you blow your shot (whether it's domestic violence or anything else) ... too bad, so sad ... see ya.

Good news for Brown ... Gates doesn't think the kicker's career is necessarily over.

With Jay Cutler FINALLY medically cleared to play this week -- his wife, Kristin Cavallari, is suggesting that he's returning WAYYY too soon.

The Chicago Bears star missed the past 4 games due to an injury to his right thumb -- and with the Bears struggling at the QB position, Cavallari clearly thinks her husband is rushing back too quickly.

"He's baaaaack! Maybe a couple weeks before he's supposed to be," Cavallari said ... "but good luck this week, babe. Kick some Vikings-ass!"

Question is ... how bad was the injury if Cavallari is suggesting he needed even MORE time to recover?

And that being said ... can we really expect solid QB play from a guy who still may be hurt and facing a killer defense???

Josh Brown doesn't have a job ... 'cause the NY Giants just announced they've cut the kicker.

In a statement, Giants co-owner John Mara said, “We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

Last week, police in Washington state released documents connected to Brown's '15 domestic violence arrest -- including his journal -- where he acknowledged having abused his ex-wife.

The Giants quickly moved Brown from the active roster to the Commissioner's exempt list ... before completely cutting ties Tuesday.

Josh Brown is sorry revelations of past domestic abuse have hurt the NY Giants ... but also wants to clarify he NEVER struck his wife.

Brown -- who currently is NOT on the NYG active roster -- released a statement through ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"I am sorry that my past has called into question the character or integrity of The New York Giants, Mr. Mara or any of those who have supported me along the way. I have taken measures to get help so that I may be the voice of change, not a statistic."

"It is important to share that I never struck my wife, and never would. Abuse takes many forms, and is not a gray area. Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors. The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life."

"My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man."

Here's proof not everyone is down for the Raiders move to Sin City ... Rich Gannon --the last guy to quarterback the Silver & Black to the Super Bowl -- says the team needs to STAY PUT.

We got Gannon out in NYC and asked the former NFL MVP his thoughts about his old squad potentially moving out of Oakland and into the deserts of Nevada.

Gannon ain't a fan ... saying the team is just starting to come into its own, and the fans up in NorCal deserve the chance to watch a winner for a change.

He's not the only Ex-Raider balking at the move .... Ronnie Lott is putting together a group to try to keep the team in Oakland as well ... but owner Mark Davis seems super determined to relocate.

Ex-NFL running back Montee Ball has plead guilty to charges stemming from an April incident in which he got boozed up at a Wisconsin bar and then resisted arrest when cops tried to take him into custody.

Remember, Ball was out on bail back in April from his domestic violence case (he attacked an ex-GF in 2014) and one of the terms was to NOT booze or be in a place where they serve booze.

When cops found him at the 841 Brewhouse bar on April 9th -- they tried to take him into custody and he resisted.

Now, we've learned Ball struck a deal with prosecutors in which he plead guilty to 2 counts of "bail jumping" and one count of resisting arrest ... all misdemeanors.

So, what does it mean for Ball? He could face up to 9 months in jail for each count -- sentencing is scheduled for December.

Good news for Terrell Suggs ... prosecutors have dropped the criminal charges against the Baltimore Ravens star stemming from his March car crash -- and all he has to do is go back to school.

We broke the story ... Suggs was arrested in Scottsdale on March 4th after crashing his BMW into a wall and allegedly leaving the scene (which Suggs denied). He was later charged with driving on a suspended license and failure to control speed to avoid a collision.

Now, court officials confirm the suspended license & failure to notify when striking a fixture charges have been dropped.

As for the speeding charge, that will be dismissed if he completes a defensive driving class by February 27th.

Tom Brady was asked straight-up if he thought it was unfair that the NFL only suspended Josh Brown for 1 game for domestic violence ... when he was suspended FOUR for Deflategate.

His answer ... flaccid.

"I think it is the league’s issue,” Brady said while calling in to the Kirk and Callahan radio show Monday morning.

"Obviously, there is a lot of controversy with that. I’m trying to stay out of all that. I will let them handle it. I think that is their responsibility. I certainly don’t condone any part of domestic violence. I think it is a terrible, terrible thing. I think the league, they have to handle those types of things."

He added, "I’m just going to stay in my lane. Like I said, it’s up to them to decide whatever they want to do. I’m just going to try try and stay out of any kind of my opinion. I certainly have opinions, I just don’t really care to share them."

Brady did lash out on the general topic of domestic violence -- saying, of course, he does not condone it.

"Any type of abuse or bullying of people who can’t defend or fight for themselves, I have no respect for that."
