Edgerrin James Takes On Strip Club Biz I'm an Owner!
There's a brand new boss in the Miami strip club scene ... ex-NFL star Edgerrin James.
TMZ Sports has learned the 4-time Pro Bowler is launching "One" -- a brand new upscale booty club. Our sources say James is the sole owner.
James has been running "soft openings" to prepare for the official launch -- and has had a bunch of his famous friends (including Clinton Portis and Luther Campbell) inside the joint to check it out.
The strip club biz is super competitive in Miami -- but Edge is a god in the city and happens to be extremely well-connected. If anyone has a shot to break through, it's him.

There's at least one person who thinks Johnny Manziel has a legit shot at an NFL comeback -- Hall of Famer Warren Moon.
"I think Johnny has proven he can play in the National Football League," Moon says ... and if he can stay clean, there's a REAL chance he could be one of the great comeback stories in pro sports.

Jared Goff Runs NFL Combine Crash Course ... With NFL Hopefuls
Here's Rams QB Jared Goff giving back to the community, helping some NFL hopefuls (who will probably be millionaires one day) get ready for the NFL combine.
Goff headed to Oaks Christian School -- a high school in the L.A. area -- and tossed the pigskin around with some aspiring pros earlier this month including Florida State's Jesus "Bobo" Wilson and Quincy Adeboyejo from Ole Miss.
The guys were training as part of a program from Sports Academy L.A. and we're told when Goff heard about it, he decided to chip in and give them specific notes on the NFL combine process.
Also getting some #1 pick tutelage was Matt Corral ... a high school junior who's nationally ranked as one of the top 5 QB's in the 2018 class.
Pretty cool of Goff to do ... but judging by last season the whole Rams team should be out there with him.

Johnny Manziel CFL Investigating Alleged Workout (Update: Johnny Denies Workout)
1:05 PM PT -- We spoke with Johnny who says the report is straight-up WRONG -- "I have had no workouts with any team from the CFL."
The Canadian Football League tells TMZ Sports it has launched an investigation into reports Johnny Manziel had an illegal workout with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The issue is simple ... the Hamilton Tiger-Cats currently hold the negotiating rights to Manziel if he wanted to play in the CFL -- so any possible workout would have to go through them first.
But, according to a report out of Canada, Manziel worked out with the Roughriders in Florida in late January.
The Roughriders have called B.S. on the report claiming NO workout took place -- but the CFL says it's investigating nonetheless.
"We are investigating," CFL Communications Director Paulo Senra tells us.
"The Riders tell us that they did not work out Manziel. So at this point, it appears the report is false. Should other evidence come to light, we will deal with it accordingly."
