Ex-NFL defensive stud Shaun Phillips says the NFL is giving out the wrong drugs -- saying the league should be handing out marijuana to players ... and just saying NO to prescription pills.

Phillips played 11 seasons in the league -- killing QBs for the Chargers and Broncos -- and says he got free Rx pills during his career to manage pain ... while being threatened with a suspension if he touched pot.

"It should be the other way around," Phillips says ... "You should get suspended for using opiates and be able to smoke marijuana."

Phillips says he respects the league and its decision -- but clearly wants change.

Reggie Bush is living in a world of uncertainty, because a woman claims he's the father of her unborn baby ... sources tell TMZ Sports.

The woman -- Monique -- is a nightclub waitress who lives in Miami. Our sources say early on in her pregnancy, she contacted Reggie and there were discussions about terminating the pregnancy in return for a large payment. We're told ultimately the discussions went nowhere.

Our sources say Monique, who is now 6 months pregnant, hired Florida attorney Marwan Porter, but this time around it's about child support.

We're told there has NOT been a DNA test, but Reggie will own up to his obligations if the tests show he's the father.

As for Reggie, there appeared to be issues back in August, around the time Monique first contacted him, because he left Buffalo Bills training camp to fly to California to work things out with his wife, Lilit, with whom he has 2 kids.

A rep for Reggie tells TMZ, "He's aware of the rumors and remains happily married."

Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron found a pretty cool way to honor his grandfather -- custom cleats saluting his incredible military service.

Ebron's grandfather was U.S. Marine Corps SSGT Oling R. Jackson -- who served in 3 major wars ... WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Jackson passed away in 2003.

But Ebron wants to make sure his memory lives on -- so he hit up DeJesus Custom Footwear who whipped up a special pair of cleats for Eric to wear this weekend.

Josh Huff says he's sorry for bringing negative attention to the Eagles with his drug, gun and DUI arrest -- and says he promises to correct the mistakes he's made.

After being cut by the team Thursday morning, Huff has issued a full statement (via ESPN) apologizing to the Eagles staff, owners, teammates and fans.

"I'm sorry that any action by me brought negative light to this organization."

The Philadelphia Eagles have released wide receiver Josh Huff -- just 2 days after he was arrested for DUI with a gun, ammunition and weed in his car.

Huff was the special teams player of the week on October 26th after returning a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown on the 23rd.

Huff was arrested on Tuesday near Philadelphia -- he was originally pulled over for speeding and illegal window tinting. During the stops, cops say they found a handgun (that allegedly wasn't licensed) and hollow point bullets.

Here's video of Cowboys player Terrance Williams getting into a heated altercation with stadium security after Sunday night's Cowboys-Eagles game in Dallas.

Williams was trying to return to his car after the Cowboys' big win ... when stadium security tried to stop him ... apparently not realizing he was on the squad.

What followed were a couple tense moments when security tries to prevent Williams from getting by ... before he weaves his way through, while being supported by fans who recognized him.

Ex-49ers RB Bruce Miller has plead not guilty to 7 felonies after allegedly beating the crap outta a 70-year-old man and his son.

As we previously reported, the former 49er is accused of severely beating an elderly man and his son back in September ... after cops say he tried to force his way into the man's hotel room.

Miller, 29, appeared before a judge in San Francisco ... and entered a not guilty plea for 7 felonies and 1 misdemeanor ... including assault with a deadly weapon and inflicting injury on an elderly person.

If convicted, Miller -- currently a free agent -- faces a lengthy prison stint.

Sorry, Tony Romo, ya ain't Terrell Owens' quarterback anymore ... at least not starting QB ... 'cause the ex-Cowboys star says the team would be CRAZY to bench Dak Prescott.

Shocking ... if ya remember the viral video from '08. T.O. -- rockin' shades, cried talking about Romo -- dropping the infamous "that's my quarterback" line after Dallas lost a playoff game.

So, when we saw T.O. in Venice Beach Tuesday ... we asked him to weigh in on the hottest debate in the NFL ... who should start as signal caller for the Boys.

T.O.'s obviously in Romo's corner, right? Nope ... he actually says keeping Romo planted on the bench is a "no-brainer" ... and he doesn't stop there.

Check out the clip!

Philadelphia Eagles' Josh Huff was arrested for gun and weed possession after he was pulled over for speeding ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to the Delaware River Port Authority criminal complaint, the 25-year-old wide receiver was stopped on the Walt Whitman Bridge in Jersey around 11 AM after cops saw him going 25 mph over the speed limit.

Police say his car reeked of weed -- and when a cop asked him about the smell, Huff handed him a "tight vac" container of "suspected marijuana."

Cops say Huff also told them he had a handgun in the car -- which was found in the driver's side door, next to a magazine that contained "six hollow point bullets."

Huff was booked for gun possession without a permit and marijuana possession (less than 50 grams). His bail was set at $25k.

He was also charged with DUI and illegal window tinting.

Ain't nuthin' but a Broncos paaarty ...

Tupac, Dr. Evil, the dude from "Coming to America" ... the Denver Broncos busted out some pretty awesome costumes at the team Halloween party Monday night -- and we've got the video.

Von Miller was Austin Powers' nemesis, DeMarcus Ware was The Mad Hatter, T.J. Ward was Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP) and Aqib Talib was either Willy Wonka or a pimp.

But the best costume ... Kayvon Webster and his date who went as Tupac and Jada Pinkett from that famous photo.

Are we sure Tupac isn't alive and playing cornerback???

NY Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall has NEVER made a playoff appearance in his entire 11 year NFL career -- but he says that's finally going to change.

We saw Brandon out Monday night on Halloween and asked about his costume -- here's what he said:

"I am myself ... I'm Brandon Marshall, the wide receiver that made the playoffs!"

The Jets are 3-5 and way behind the Patriots in the AFC East -- but there are rumors the Jets could move Marshall ... and the trade deadline is 4 PM ET TODAY!!!

So, does he know something we don't ... or is he saying Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets are still going to get to the postseason?

Remember earlier this season when EVERYONE was saying the Bears should fire Jay Cutler and find a QB who isn't a giant black hole of suck???

Yeah, well his wife Kristin Cavallari sure does -- and Monday night she had a message for all the haters ... WHERE YOU AT NOW??

Raiders star Donald Penn's wife is calling quits on their marriage ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported ... Donald's wife, Dominique Penn, BLASTED the star lineman over social media earlier this month after he allegedly knocked up a reality TV star.

At the time, Dominique vowed to stick by Donald's side ... but something clearly changed ... 'cause only days after calling out her husband and his alleged baby mama, Dominique filed for divorce in L.A.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Dominique -- married to Donald since June 2012 -- lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

In the docs -- filed on October 20th -- she asks for spousal support and joint custody of their 3 kids.

We reached out to Donald's rep ... who had no comment.

As the NFL's trade deadline approaches ... there's one move former Cowboys great Jay Novacek doesn't want to see -- Dallas trading star QB Tony Romo ... despite playing second fiddle to rookie sensation Dak Prescott.

TMZ Sports spoke with Novacek about the QB controversy ... and the 3x Super Bowl champ says it's best to stick with DP despite a shaky performance against the Eagles Sunday night.

"He hung in there and had the opportunity at the end of the game to make plays and he made plays," Novacek says.

As for the rumors circulating about possibly trading Romo ... Novacek scoffs at the idea.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham has pled not guilty to a concealed weapons charge -- after allegedly taking a loaded gun through the airport earlier this month.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bradham was popped at Miami International Airport on Oct. 2nd after officials say he put a loaded firearm through the TSA screening machine.

We're told Bradham had a concealed weapons permit -- but the bigger issue is that he was out on bond from an unrelated assault case where one of the terms was he wasn't allowed to carry a gun.

The concealed weapons charge is a 2nd degree misdemeanor and if he's convicted, he could face up to 6 months in jail.

Here's something you don't get to hear everyday ... Patriots superstar Tom Brady talkin' sex toys.

In case you missed it, a dildo was thrown on the field during the Pats vs. Bills game Sunday ... and Brady discussed the bizarre scenario during his weekly call-in with Kirk & Callahan on WEEI.

You gotta hear the whole thing ... kinda reminds us of the time Brady ranted about "balls."
