Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell told police he had no idea he could get a DUI for driving while high -- after admitting that he smoked weed before getting behind the wheel ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, Bell and teammate LeGarrette Blount were arrested on August 20th in Pennsylvania -- after a cop said he could smell weed coming from their Camaro.

According to the report, the cop initially asked Bell (the driver) if he had any weed in the car -- and he initially said NO.

But when the cop asked if he was high, Bell reportedly replied, "It was about a minute ago. We smoked within the last two hours."

The cop said he called for backup -- including a K9 unit to search the car -- and that's when Bell told the officer he had weed in the glove box.

Bell, Blount and a woman in the car told the cop they had all chipped in to buy the weed.

The cop says he told Bell he could be in trouble for driving under the influence -- to which Bell replied, "I didn't know that you could get a DUI for being high. I smoked two hours ago. I am not high anymore. I am perfectly fine."

"Why would I be getting high if I had to get on a plane to make it to my game?"

He added, "I have to be on my plane at 3 to be in Philadelphia, I play for the Steelers."

Snoop Dogg thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator SUCKS -- and last night he blasted the guy in an epic Instagram rant ... saying, "Fire that motherf**ker!"

FYI -- Snoop's a huge Steelers fan and has been for years ... and clearly he wasn't impressed with the team's pre-season loss to the Eagles last night.

But Snoop isn't one to sit on the sidelines, so he made a video -- begging head coach Mike Tomlin to fire the hell out of O.C. Todd Haley ... saying, " We ain't won a playoff game since we had this motherf**ker, man. S**t."

Pittsburgh Steelers RB's Le'Veon Bell & LaGarrette Blount were arrested in Pennsylvania this afternoon for marijuana possession ... officials tell TMZ Sports.

According to Ross Township Police ... the two were pulled over around 1:30 PM after a motorcycle cop smelled pot coming from a black Camaro on a busy highway near Pittsburgh.

Police say when they stopped to question the pair they discovered 20 grams of marijuana inside the vehicle.

Bell was busted for misdemeanor DUI and possession of marijuana. Blount was popped for misdemeanor possession.

Officials tell us both men were cited and released.

How does Jermaine Jackson feel about the NFL blacklisting his sister from performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?

Simple -- "That sucks."

Jermaine was out in L.A. when we broke the news to him that the NFL has only ruled out one person from performing at Super Bowl XLIX ... Janet Jackson.

"Who cares about Nipplegate?" Jermaine said ... calling the league "crazy" for holding a grudge ten years after the infamous wardrobe malfunction.

Jermaine cautioned that the league should be careful about pissing off Janet nowadays -- since she's married to a BILLIONAIRE and has become more powerful than ever!

Apparently, the NFL is still upset with Janet Jackson for that whole nipplegate thing back in 2004 -- because league reps tell us she's still on the blacklist when it comes to the Super Bowl Halftime show.

TMZ Sports reached out to the NFL to discuss possible acts at Super Bowl XLIX (49) in Arizona next year -- and while the league wouldn't say who's in the running, they did issue the following statement:

"As for potential acts --- we have only ruled out Janet Jackson."

No word on how Justin Timberlake escaped the ire of the NFL -- considering he played a key role in the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" that day -- but if he's NOT banned, BOOK HIS ASS!!!

ATL Falcons RB Steven Jackson is blowing up in the art world -- in fact, TMZ Sports has learned he sold more than HALF of the work he displayed at a recent L.A. show ... with one piece raking in $7k!!

Jackson's artistic side was featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks" -- where cameras rolled at his first exhibit back in July. Jackson's work is based off photographs he's taken all over the world.

We spoke with a rep for the Hamilton-Selway Fine Art gallery (where the show took place) who tells us Jackson sold 13 of the 23 pieces that were on display -- ranging from $3,500 to $7,000.

"[Steven] did great," the rep said ... "Normally, it’s a mix when you have a celebrity exhibit -- but we had high-end collectors who bought some of his pieces."

We're told the big seller was a piece called "Amazon" -- which sold to a private collector for $7k.

And get this -- Steven's former Rams teammate Chris Long didn't just come to support the guy, he bought a piece called "Game Day."

The gallery is so pumped about Steven's work -- they're planning to feature his work in a show on the East Coast ... but we're told that will probably take place next year ... after football season.

It might finally be time for the Washington Redskins to fall back in the war over the team name ... because Pocahontas herself is taking a stand, telling TMZ Sports everything about the organization sends a horrible signal, especially, to young women.

We didn't hold a seance -- the real Pocahontas died in 1617 -- but we did talk to Irene Bedard … and the voice of the Native heroine in 2 Disney movies is so pissed about the "Redskins" name, she said using it is like wanting to call yourself the n-word.

Irene, whose ancestry is Inuit, Inupiat and Metis ... told us she understands fans have pride for their team symbol -- but they don't realize the logo is also insulting 500 nations of native people.

In particular, she's really upset about some of the costumes the cheerleaders have worn through the years -- calling them over sexualized and "degrading" to proud Native American women like herself.

Irene added, "You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew."

She didn't, really ... but that would've been awesome. Who doesn't love "Colors of the Wind"?

Jim Brown's 1964 NFL Championship ring fell into the hands of an auction house because his ex-wife hocked it way back in the 1980s ... this according to the auction house Brown is suing.

The Cleveland Browns great sued Lelands Collectibles last month to block an upcoming auction of the ring. He alleged it had been stolen from him decades ago ... and therefore Lelands had no right to sell it.

Now Lelands has filed a countersuit, and in the docs it explains that Brown had left the ring with his ex-wife Sue Brown when they initially split up, and he left Ohio for Hollywood.

Sue and Jim's divorce was finalized in 1972 and she got the Ohio home where they lived together, a condo -- AND the title to the Championship Ring ... according to the docs. Sue eventually sold the ring to a sports memorabilia collector sometime in the 80s.

Warning to Arian Foster's teammates -- he's not afraid to piss all over you if you dare to get in the hot tub with him.

David Spade thinks the only place the NY Jets need help scoring is on the football field … and the boys from gang green should quit using Tinder to score chicks.

We broke the surprising news to Spade that, according to the Wall Street Journal, several Jets are swiping the Tinder banging dating app -- and he immediately invoked the name of the franchise's most legendary ladies man … Joe Namath (sorry, Sanchize).

Ray Rice won't ever have to revisit the scene of his infamous domestic violence incident ... that's because the Revel Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ is closing down.

The casino will close by September 10, making it the fourth casino in AC to shut down this year. Revel only opened in April 2012, at a cost of $2.4 billion.

Ultimately, the casino's legacy might end up being the place where Rice was caught on surveillance cameras dragging his seemingly unconscious fiancée out of an elevator ... before they were both arrested for domestic violence.

Rice struck a deal and served no jail time for the incident. He was suspended by the NFL for two games.

Jerry Jones has no problem with his baller Dallas Cowboys bus cruising the Sunset Strip, because ... off the field … his staffers are world class entertainers.

Jones walked out of Mr. Chow in Bev Hills last night and talked about the video TMZ Sports got of his son Stephen Jones, and his posse, pulling the bus up to Bootsy Bellows Tuesday night.

You gotta hear JJ explain it, but it sounds like he's saying everybody wants to hang with the 'Boys … so they have to do a ton of partying when they're not working. It's just good business.

Draya Michele gave Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick the bad news -- he's being cut from her bedroom ... and she did it with a dig on social media.

The "Basketball Wives: LA" star posted a message on Instagram, saying she wanted to focus on family and career instead of a relationship. She added, "I'm not the one who failed."

Funny ... we shot Draya about a month ago and she said her relationship with Orlando was solid. In fact, she said they were damn near marriage.

Ehh ... things change. Anyway, this is really just an excuse to show you pics of Draya in bikinis.

R.I.P. Orlando's sex life. Kidding ... he's an NFL star. He'll be fine.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Philip Wheeler's GF took her baby boy and her boobs to a Florida mall to join a massive breast-feeding protest.

Model Ashley Nicole was part of the demonstration to support a mother who'd been kicked out of a South Florida mall earlier in the week. Ashely called it an "honor" to participate with more than 100 other women.

As TMZ Sports first told you ... Ashley was in a similar controversy back in March when she was attacked on Instagram for posting a breast-feeding pic.

She says when she heard about the mall protest she knew she had to be there.

Ashley also challenged mall cops everywhere, saying ... "I wisssssshhhhh someone would ever say something to me about nursing my child in public."

She added, "I must have that don't try me face." That and a very large boyfriend.

If you want to make Terrell Owens cry, just ask him about Tony Romo ... or get him to watch a certain chick flick ... because then the waterworks are sure to flow.

Our photog spotted T.O. Wednesday afternoon at LAX and hit him up for his favorite romantic film. Owens had an immediate answer, noting the movie touches on a topic that hits close to home for him. He even admits getting teary-eyed when he watches it.

Gotta love T.O. -- never afraid to show his emotions.

Corey Dillon's ex-wife did not run for 11,241 yards, score 82 career touchdowns, or help the New England Patriots win Super Bowl XXXIX, but she was married to him when all that went down ... so she's getting exactly what she's entitled to under the law.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Dillon's divorce from Desiree Antoine was finalized late last month. The two agreed to joint legal custody of their 3 kids and Dillon will fork over $1,421/month in child support. Antoine waived her right to spousal support.

As far as assets go, it's a pretty even split and the couple will sell off a lot of their stuff (their Calabasas home and several cars, including a few classic Chevy Impalas) and split the profits 50/50. Dillon does get to keep his 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass.
