11:47 AM PT -- Call him Nostradamus ... 'cause just as Pierce predicted, he was CUT by the Ravens first thing this morning.

Baltimore Ravens running back Bernard Pierce told cops that he KNEW he was gonna get cut from the team during his DUI arrest ... saying, "Do you know what happened the last time a Ravens player got a DUI?"

TMZ Sports obtained the police report detailing the DUI arrest ... in which the Baltimore County Police Dept. says Pierce admitted to taking "3 shots of Jack" before he was popped.

As we previously reported, Pierce was initially pulled over around 2AM for speeding -- and then bombed his field sobriety test.

In the report, the officer asked Pierce how much he weighs -- and Pierce slurred, "530." The officer pressed him on it and he repeated it twice before correcting himself and saying, "230 pounds."

While he was being taken to a nearby police station, Pierce reportedly uttered, "Do you know what happened the last time a Ravens player got a DUI? I'm getting cut tomorrow, not like you care."

Here's 6'5", 290 pound NFL superstar J.J. Watt trying to land a box jump during a recent training session.

The tiny man behind him was tasked with catching Watt in the event he slipped and fell during the jump.

Poor guy.

Watt tried to make the leap by jumping more than 5-feet onto the mats ... but missed -- sending himself and the spotter crashing to the ground.

Maybe Wesley Snipes was right ...

Baltimore Ravens running back Bernard Pierce -- who started for the team after Ray Rice got fired last season -- was arrested for DUI in Maryland early Wednesday morning.

Baltimore County police say Pierce was initially stopped for speeding around 2AM -- and during the stop, the officer suspected the 24-year-old was hammered.

Pierce was asked to step out of his ride -- and then bombed some field sobriety tests. He was eventually arrested for DUI and hauled to a nearby station where he was processed and later released.

A rep for the Ravens says, "We are aware of the situation and learning more about it. We take these matters seriously."

Former SF 49ers star Chris Borland is getting MAJOR support from his family for his decision to walk away from the NFL over head injury concerns -- with his mom telling TMZ Sports, "I'm extremely proud of him."

Borland's decision made headlines all over the country -- especially since he was a rising star in the league, only 24 years old, and left nearly $2 million on the table by not finishing out his contract.

But his mother Zebbie says Chris didn't take his decision lightly -- noting that he consulted with his parents and other family members before deciding to walk away from the league.

"He made the decision the other day. He's been here [Dayton, Ohio] a ton and on the road visiting his friends and siblings and the decision was made amongst the family."

"Right now he and his dad are handling the situation going forward and deciding on what his next steps will be."

As for how Chris' decision will affect other family members who want to play football, Zebbie says ... "I know Chris' 4-year-old nephews will end up playing sports soon, I'm sure he won't discourage them from playing football, I think he will work with them and provide knowledge."

Chris Johnson is just weeks away from resuming his NFL training after being shot ... so says Jay Glazer who has a message for the running back -- stop hanging around dangerous people.

Glazer had been training CJ2K at his L.A. gym before Johnson was hit in a drive-by shooting in Florida -- a shooting that killed one of Johnson's passengers. Cops are still on the hunt for a suspect.

Jay insists Johnson wasn't the target -- and says Chris is not a bad guy ... he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But Jay doesn't completely let Chris off the hook ... saying professional athletes need to make a conscious decision to put themselves in LESS wrong places ... and that process starts with picking the right friends.

Michael Sam blew the judges away last night ... at least his ass did ... because the wannabe NFL star's booty was the talk of the ballroom on last night's "Dancing with the Stars."

The dancing was fine. His footwork was sloppy ... but after Sam cut a rug to "Uptown Funk," judges Bruno and Len couldn't stop talking about the junk in Sam's trunk.

Bruno -- "That butt was a work of art. Michelangelo's 'David' has nothing on you."

Len -- "You could win 'Rear of the Year' and I could win 'Ass of the Past.'

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Antwon Blake was arrested over the weekend for allegedly being drunk in public ... TMZ Sports has learned

Police in Oceanside, CA tell us Blake was busted early Sunday morning after he was seen walking around drunk outside of the bars downtown.

We're told he was arrested by local police who let him sober up ... then they released him.

Blake appeared in all 16 games last season for the Steelers, starting one.

It's 48 degrees and cloudy in Detroit ... so Matt Stafford's future wife hit Vegas for her bachelorette party -- and proved her ass can hang with the best of 'em!!!

Kelly Hall and her gal pals hit the pool party at Wet Republic at the MGM Grand ... where she did some bikini crowdsurfing ... bikini cheerleading ... and other bikini-clad activities -- under the 85 degree Vegas sun.

The Detroit Lions quarterback and his college sweetheart got engaged last year ... and they famously broke the news at a Cold Stone Creamery.

Now, the wedding is right around the corner -- hopefully, the reception will be half as much fun a the bachelorette party!!

Marshawn Lynch went beast mode Friday night trying to break up a fight incited by a Seattle Seahawks hater.

Marshawn and his crew were leaving a San Francisco bar when a drunk guy taunted the running back, repeatedly calling him a "Seattle Sea Chicken."

Someone in Marshawn's crew snapped and a melee erupted. You see Marshawn in a white cap trying to pull one of his friends away from the guy. An eyewitness tells us Marshawn got in a few punches before walking away.

Some moron snuck his way onto Rob Gronkowski's party bus last night ... after knocking a woman to the ground ... only to be escorted OFF the ride by private security ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Gronk was leaving 1Oak on the Sunset Strip when some guy cut in front of the NFL star and tried to bee line it for the waiting bus.

On his way to the bus the mystery man collided with a waiting female ... sending her crashing to the ground. But the man continued on his way and GOT INSIDE Gronk's ride.

Moments later, once Gronk got on board -- security was called over ... and a frighteningly large man with an earpiece can be seen removing the intruder from the Gronk-mobile.

Question is ... who do you think was more scared? Gronk, when he saw a strange man on his bus ... or the man when he realized he was trapped on a bus with a pissed off Gronk???

Brandon Marshall has accepted a challenge to race his new teammate for jersey #15, but the veteran wideout has thrown a few conditions on top ... sensing a straight race is not in his favor.

Marshall was recently traded to the New York Jets, where he quickly learned his #15 already belonged to fellow WR Saalim Hakim.

Hakim made a video with a challenge: they race, and if Marshall beats him, he can have the number for free. If Hakim wins, Marshall can still wear the number ... but he's gotta fork over $25,000 for it.

We quickly pause to present you a Tale of the Tape:

Marshall: Ran a 4.52 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in 2006. He's 30-years-old.
Hakim: Reportedly ran a 4.23 40-yard dash and is just 25-years-old.

You see where we're going here ... and apparently so did Marshall.

Saalim tells TMZ Sports that Marshall has accepted the challenge, but Marshall wants to race AND compete in another challenge of his choosing ... which is to remain a mystery.

Johnny Manziel has become a cautionary tale ... at least according to rap legend Method Man ... who says he hopes Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota won't make the same mistake JM did.

The Wu-Tang Clan co-founder is a huge football fan -- especially when it comes to the Jets -- so we had to ask how he felt about all the crazy moves in the NFL this week.

Finally some good news for NFL star Chris Johnson -- officials in Florida have dropped the misdemeanor gun charge against him stemming from a January arrest.

Johnson was arrested on January 9th after he allegedly rolled through a stop sign and cops found 2 guns in his car. According to reports, the guns weren't properly stowed, so he was arrested for "open carrying" of firearms. Johnson maintained his innocence and later pled not guilty to the charge.

Now, court officials in Orange County, FL tell TMZ Sports ... the State Attorney has officially dropped the case against the running back.

Johnson posted a comment on the situation via social media Wednesday night ... writing, "Gun charges was dropped yesterday due to no evidence of me doing anything wrong."

He continued, "Also me have concealed weapons license the arrest should have never happen #GOD100."

Johnny Manziel is getting some major support from the greatest Brown of them all ... Jim Brown ... who tells TMZ Sports he's proud of the QB for extending his stay in a treatment program.

The Cleveland Browns legend was leaving Craig's in West Hollywood last night when he told us, "I think [Manziel] made a great move to go into therapy ... I'm very happy for him."

FYI -- the Browns recently announced that Manziel has decided to stay in his treatment program beyond the usual 28-day minimum.

Keyshawn Johnson's wife has filed for divorce ... just 7 months after tying the knot with the ex-NFL star in a lavish beach wedding ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court on March 3rd ... Jennifer Conrad is asking the judge to nuke their marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

Conrad says the pair separated back in February. She also notes she signed a pre-nup before they got hitched.

In the docs, Conrad asks for joint legal custody of their 2 minor children (ages 5 and 2) ... though she wants primary physical custody with Keyshawn getting visitation.

The two tied the knot in a 4-day oceanfront celebration in Newport Beach, CA back in August -- with Jennifer rocking a $6,500 pair of Louboutin shoes with Swarovski crystals.

But don't count Keyshawn out yet ... sources close to the former NFL star say there's still a chance the two will reconcile and call off the divorce.

The case of "D.J. Swearinger Steals His Own Truck" is officially closed ... after the NFL star forked over a HUGE check to the people who pimped it out ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... cops launched an investigation into the Houston Texans safety after he allegedly ordered $20k worth of upgrades to his 2013 F250 from a customizer in Texas ... and then drove it off the lot without paying.

The upgrades were pretty awesome -- matte black paint with a Batman logo, speakers, new wheels, custom grill, train horn, etc.

Now, the Harris County Sheriff's Office tells us .... they've been in touch with the customizers who say the debt has since been paid off in full.

Translation -- case closed.
