Vince Young Arrested for Drunk Driving ... Again
3:30 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained the mug shot from Young's DWI arrest.
Vince Young was arrested for DWI in Texas on Monday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.
According to police records, the 35-year-old ex-NFL quarterback was busted in Fort Bend County.
One source familiar with the case tells us Young was pulled over around 4 AM. Records show he was booked into Fort Bend County Jail but posted bond and was released.
We've reached out to Young's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.
It's not the first time Young has been busted for drunk driving -- back in 2016, the former University of Texas star was arrested for DUI after cops say he was driving dangerously in Austin.
Young pled no contest in his 2016 case and was sentenced to 18 months probation. He later apologized to his fans and said he "understood the seriousness of the situation."
TMZ Sports obtained the police footage from the 2016 arrest which shows Young refusing the field sobriety tests and getting frustrated with arresting officers ... at one point saying, "Are we going to jail or not?"
Young was selected by the Tennessee Titans with the 3rd overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and went on to win the NFL's Rookie of the Year award. He was a 2-time Pro Bowl selection and last played with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011.

Super Bowl Gronk Chugs Beers, Ditches Shirt ... at Patriots Parade
Wine was chugged (Gronk). Shirts were ripped off (also Gronk). Tide Pods were thrown (who do you think?).
It's the New England Patriots Super Bowl parade in Boston -- and more than 1 MILLION people reportedly flocked to the streets to watch the champs roll through!!
Tom Brady talked about the event on 'WEEI' early Tuesday morning -- saying this should be the craziest bash yet ... his 6th Super Bowl parade in his insane Hall of Fame career.
Brady and Julian Edelman have already been partying it up in Disney World ... and Rick Ross raged with some of the players on Monday night. But, the REAL party goes down with the fans.
Team owner Robert Kraft rocked Meek Mill's "Championships" chain for the parade ... and we're starting to think he ain't giving it back.
Gronk lost his shirt about halfway through the festivities ... and even grabbed a police vest for a quick wardrobe change. Center David Andrews followed by goin' shirtless as well.
If this parade seemed a bit more "tame" this time around ... it's probably because Boston Mayor Marty Walsh asked partygoers to NOT throw beers at the duck boats to keep the dudes safe, right, Alex Cora???
The parade wasn't completely incident-free, though ... some Pats fans ended up duking it out in the streets!!
Nothing says Boston like a bunch of Pats fans beating the shit out of each other after a championship parade @OnlyInBOS pic.twitter.com/nd86c36BXe
@Listen2TheBeatt
It's the second title parade for Beantown in the past few months ... they JUST had one for the Red Sox in October ... and something tells us this probably won't be the last.

Antonio Brown Involved In Domestic Dispute ... Not Arrested
11:43 AM PT -- The Steelers issued a statement saying they were just made aware of the incident involving Brown today, and are currently gathering information.
11:08 AM PT -- Brown's attorney, Darren Heitner, issued a statement calling the allegations "baseless and false."
He added, "It's unfortunate that the media is trying to use distractions like this and prior stories in an effort to tarnish my client's name and reputation. We have no further comment."
Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Antonio Brown was involved in a domestic dispute in January -- but he was NOT arrested ... TMZ Sports has confirmed with police.
Our sources tell us a woman contacted the Hollywood Police Dept. in Florida in mid-January and made a report alleging misconduct by Brown.
The details surrounding her allegations are unclear -- but we know cops investigated.
A rep for the Hollywood Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports, "Mr. Brown was involved in a domestic dispute. No arrests were made."
We've reached out to Brown's camp for comment multiple times -- so far, no word back.
It's just the latest in a string of off-the-field drama for Brown -- who's not only been feuding with the Steelers, but he's also being sued over an alleged furniture-tossing tirade back in April.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... the man behind the lawsuit claims Brown almost killed his 22-month-old son by throwing furniture off the balcony of his Florida apartment.
Brown claims the man is lying and has said in a statement, "I'm innocent."
Antonio has been in Florida training for the NFL season -- he's from Miami.

R.R. kept the tradition alive on Monday ... linking up with players like Trey Flowers and Ja’Whaun Bentley for the rager ... complete with a bunch of champagne and big cardboard cutouts of Bill Belichick's face!!
The guys loved every second of it ... keeping the party going all the way up to the parade on Tuesday.

Todd Gurley Something Fishy About Playoff Slump ... Says James Brown
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH TODD GURLEY!??!
It's the question everyone wants to know after he essentially disappeared from relevance in the NFC title game and the Super Bowl ... and even NFL insider James Brown says something's not right.
The L.A. Rams running back was basically unstoppable during the regular season -- and made a legit case to be the league MVP.
But, he faded quickly during the NFC title game and barely played in the Super Bowl ... despite the fact both he and coach Sean McVay insisted he was NOT restricted by any sort of injury.
So, what's REALLY going on with Gurley?
"I don't think we know the full story as far as Todd Gurley is concerned," the "Inside the NFL" host told us ... "There's a lot more to that."
Brown continued ... "Sean McVay and the coaching staff understand everything that he can do and to the degree that he was an MVP candidate throughout most of the season, and he didn't get played that much during this stretch here. There's more to the story."
After the Super Bowl, some people expected Gurley to drop the bombshell that he was suffering from an injury that he was trying to play through ... but that wasn't the case.
Gurley told the media, "I felt good ... whenever my name is called to get in, I'm ready."
McVay also reiterated he was healthy enough to go.
Whatever the case may be, one thing's for sure -- we ALL hope Gurley can return to form in 2019.

Tom Brady I Hate Being Called G.O.A.T. ... Rather Be Called 'Trash'
Tom Brady says being called the "Greatest of All Time" is a title that makes him cringe -- because he handles criticism WAY BETTER than he deals with compliments.
Goatie McGoatface was on "Good Morning America" with Michael Strahan -- who told TB12 he considers him the best QB who ever played the game.
Brady replied, "I don't even like that. It makes me cringe ... it makes me cringe."
Instead, Brady explained ... "I wish you would say, 'you're trash, you're too old, you're too slow, you can't get it done no more' ... and I would say, 'Thank you very much,' and I would go prove you wrong."
Strahan asked if he was driven by criticism more than success -- Brady replied, "Yeah, absolutely."
So, what's the lesson here? If you root for a rival team, stop the trash talk ... and start trying to kill Brady with KINDNESS already!!!
Of course, Tom just won his 6th Super Bowl in his 17 seasons as a starter. He also has 9 AFC championships under his belt, 4 Super Bowl MVPs and 14 Pro Bowl selections.
GOOOOOAAAATTTTTTT.

CeeLo Green 'I Apologize' For Saying F*** the SB Protesters
CeeLo Green says he should have chosen his words A LOT more carefully when he threw major shade at NFL boycotters ... in defense of his friend Big Boi.
CeeLo was on "TMZ Live" Monday, explaining a since-deleted tweet he fired off after Big Boi and Travis Scott performed in the Super Bowl Halftime show. He'd said, "@BigBoi yo big we riding wit you fam DO THAT SHIT! F**k these so called protesters you just got 100m worth of press. I'll kill for you."
Despite those extremely harsh words, CeeLo told us he meant no harm and was more trying to support his friend, than take a shot at Colin Kaepernick's supporters.
As you know, Adam Levine and Maroon 5, along with their guest stars, took a lot of flak from people boycotting the NFL. CeeLo says he was watching the Halftime Show when his emotions got the best of him.
Still, he faced huge blowback from people who were offended at the "so called protesters" remark. There were other artists -- most notably Jay-Z and Rihanna -- who turned down the SB gig to stand with Kap.
CeeLo insists he's not at all anti-Kap, and would love the chance to talk to him about it.

Emmanuel Sanders Throws More Shade At Antonio Brown
"Who's Antonio Brown?"
That's the latest shade from Emmanuel Sanders to AB ... and yeah, their beef clearly ain't dead yet.
ICYMI -- Sanders and the Steelers superstar have gone back-and-forth over the last month ... all stemming from Brown's issues in Pittsburgh.
Sanders ripped AB's season-ending antics on an appearance on NFL Network in mid-January ... saying Brown's actions were disrespectful to his teammates AND to Steelers ownership.
Brown fired back on Twitter ... Sanders responded -- and the full-blown beef was on.
The barbs had quieted down over the last couple weeks -- so, we had to ask Sanders when we got him out at the Super Bowl if the rift with AB was dead.
"Who's Antonio Brown?" the Broncos WR replied.
Safe to say ... Denver probably ain't gonna be in the running to trade for Antonio this offseason.

Larry Fitzgerald Brady Is The G.O.A.T. ... Debate Is Over!!!
Larry Fitzgerald is throwing in the towel on the G.O.A.T. debate ... telling TMZ Sports there's "no question" Tom Brady is football's best ever.
We got the future Hall of Fame receiver leaving the Super Bowl on Sunday ... and he says, after Brady beat the Rams for his record SIXTH ring -- there's no more debate.
"He's the G.O.A.T. There's no question about that."
Some have argued it's Jim Brown ... others say it's Jerry Rice, Joe Montana or Lawrence Taylor.
But, Larry says SIX championships in 19 years pushes TB12 straight to the top of the list.
BTW ... Larry also clapped back at everyone who's callin' this Super Bowl one of the worst ever -- telling us there's no way in hell Brady cares about any of that!!!

Tom Brady & Julian Edelman Hit Disney World After Super Bowl ... Lightsaber Fight!!!
The happiest people on Earth are now at the Happiest Place on Earth ... 'cause Tom Brady and Julian Edelman have made it to Disney World after winning the Super Bowl!!!
It's an annual tradition ... the big game's top players try like hell to fight off their hangovers and sleep depravity to make their way to Mickey's theme park to celebrate winning the Lombardi Trophy.
This time ... the Pats' MVP (Edelman) decided to bring his QB along -- and they're clearly having a freakin' blast!!!
The two have already hit up the Toy Story ride -- and had a great debate over who's Woody and who's Buzz Lightyear.
They also got a little lightsaber-training in ... and you'll never guess which guy chose the dark side's red saber!!!
Edelman and Brady will almost certainly be grand marshals in Mickey's parade through the Magic Kingdom later today as well.
Seems like good practice for Tuesday's Boston parade ... but then again -- these guys have been there a time OR FIVE before.

Patriots President Rescued Kevin Hart ... From S.B. Security
How'd Kevin Hart get by Super Bowl security to party with the Patriots on Sunday??
Robert Kraft's son had to personally vouch for him!!!!
It all went down on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium turf after New England beat the Rams ... when the comedy icon was held up on his way to the confetti party.
The video is great ... Hart thinks security is just jokin' around not letting him through the gates -- when he suddenly realizes they ain't!!!
Kevin tries to crack a couple jokes to get through ... but still no dice!!!
Enter Patriots president Jonathan Kraft ... who rolls up to security to save the day -- telling everyone, "He's good! He's good! And, his wife!"
If this all feels familiar ... it's 'cause it is -- remember last year Hart was denied the chance to head up to the stage to celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl championship???
For his part ... Kevin was able to joke about the whole thing afterward -- penning a social media post with a bunch of laughing emojis.
Good times.

Rihanna Mocks Super Bowl Watcher On Flight ... Supports Colin Kaepernick
Newsflash to anyone who watched the Super Bowl -- you're officially beefing with Rihanna ... who not only didn't watch the snoozefest in Atlanta but mocked a dude on her flight who did.
RiRi was headed somewhere on a plane Sunday night (prolly somewhere awesome) when she apparently heard a 1st-class cabinmate ask for the Super Bowl to be put on.
She called the dude out on her Instagram Story ... putting a sign that said "weirdo" over his head, then posting a picture of Colin Kaepernick with a diss to anyone who watched the game.
Rihanna has been team Kap all the way in his battle with the NFL ... reportedly turning down an offer to perform in the Super Bowl because of the way she believes the league has treated Colin.
BTW -- calm down ... you can't even see the guy's face RiRi is talking about in the video, only the top of his head ... plus the guy is in 1st class ... he'll be just fine.

Rob Gronkowski was living his best life too -- sippin' on a bottle of booze somebody passed off to him ... and telling people, "I am big pimpin'."
Snoop was the main performer at the shindig at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta -- along with The Chainsmokers and Meek Mill.
After the show, Snoop told us Tom Brady personally asked him to perform -- and he obliged ... because you can't say no to the G.O.A.T.

Steve Harvey Blasts Super Bowl 'Worst Game I've Ever Been To!'
Tom Brady's sixth Super Bowl win was BORING AS HELL ... so says Steve Harvey, who tells TMZ Sports, "Worst game I've ever been to!"
The Pats and Rams played a 13-3 snoozefest Sunday in Atlanta -- the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever -- that featured just one TD and 14 combined punts.
When we got Steve leaving Mercedes-Benz Stadium ... he was PISSED he wasted his entire night watching the football equivalent of paint drying.
"It was the worst game I've ever been to! No offense. No offense, man!"
Steve's real problem with the game?? He says Jared Goff and the Rams' O just straight-up weren't ready to play.
But, Jamie Foxx saw it MUCH differently -- telling us he ENJOYED the game ... and respected the defensive battle.
We also spoke with Usain Bolt and J.B. Smoove on the way out of the stadium -- they're more on Team Steve in this fight.
The good news for Harvey -- we're guessing the tickets were comped ... but even if he did plunk down a ton of cash on Super Snoozearama, he's rich.

Patriots Fan Busted Using Security Jacket To Sneak Into Locker Room
He tried. He failed.
A New England Patriots fan tried to sneak into the team locker room celebration after the Super Bowl by taking a security officer's jacket and trying to blend in ... but he got caught.
Several people recorded video as the ACTUAL security team realized there was a FRAUD in their midst.
You can see the real security team question the faker -- and demanding he fork over the jacket immediately.
Atlanta Police Dept. officers were called over to help as the man tried to explain himself -- saying someone had given him the jacket ... but he never ID'd his alleged accomplice.
At one point the man tried to walk away from the situation, but he was stopped by officials who were trying to identify the man. He was a wearing a badge so it shouldn't be too hard.
APD tells us stadium security handled the incident and they're not sure if the man was arrested.
We're working on it ...
Of course, the Patriots have had locker room issues in the past -- investigators found that former TV reporter Mauricio Ortega had been habitually stealing items from Super Bowl locker rooms for years ... including a game-worn Tom Brady jersey.
