THE NATURE OF THE LEAGUE

Dez Bryant's done for the season ... but the Broncos would be stoked to have him on their squad next year -- so says one of Denver's star D-lineman.

TMZ Sports got Domata Peko out in Bev Hills enjoying the Broncos' bye week -- when we had to ask, does he think Dez can come back from the torn Achilles he suffered last week?

Peko said of course ... saying one of his ex-Bengals teammates proves that.

"Achilles are tough, man. One of my homies, though, his name is Leon Hall and he had two Achilles and he's still playing. So, yeah, man, he can come back."

Domata then told us he'd love to be teammates with Dez in 2019 -- if the wideout wants to come to Mile High.

"We'll take whoever, anybody, to help us win!"

One problem? Bryant might be a wanted man -- the Saints seemed fired up about the WR, despite only having him on the roster for two days, and say they want him back in 2019.

But first, Dez has gotta get healthy -- something Peko thinks the 30-year-old ex-superstar can easily do.

"Knowing Dez, he's a hard worker. He can do it."

Dolphins Fan Sues Team Over Stadium Accident ... You Screwed Up My Toe Forever!

Published | Updated

The Dolphins fan who had his big toe crushed like a grape in a freak accident at the team's stadium is now suing the Fins ... saying his foot is jacked up forever!!

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Jean Michaud was at a bar area inside Hard Rock Stadium during a Dolphins game in September, when he says a giant piece of marble slab fell off the bar and smashed his foot.

Michaud says, when he took off his shoe ... he was missing part of his big toe!!

Now, 6 weeks removed from surgery to fix it all ... Jean tells us he's still sufferin' from the accident -- and has filed a lawsuit against the team AND the stadium for his troubles.

Jean tells us he still can't run ... has trouble walking ... and will have issues with his right foot for the rest of his life.

"There's things that I have to deal with for the rest of my life due to their negligence. That's pretty much what [this lawsuit] came down to."

For their part ... the Dolphins DID send Jean a get well soon fruit basket ... but Michaud says for as much as he appreciated the gesture -- that ain't enough.

Jean's suing for an undisclosed amount ... explaining to us, "The pain that I've had to deal with, the inconveniences to my normal life ... and just the future repercussions that'll come from this as well" have led him to this point.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Released from Hospital ... Back in the Game

Published | Updated

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is out of the hospital, but not back on her feet ... quite yet.

RBG was released from George Washington Medical Center in D.C. Thursday after spending the night. As you know ... she fractured 3 ribs after taking a nasty fall Wednesday ... just one day after the midterm elections.

RBG is the centerpiece of SCOTUS's liberal wing ... and Trump would like nothing more than to replace her with an ultra-conservative.

She'll be working from home Friday, to maintain an incredible attendance record over her quarter-century on the highest court in the land.

Mind you ... RBG is a cancer survivor, she's had a heart procedure and she's had broken ribs before ... and she's bounced back so quickly she was never out of the game.

Well wishes.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Breaks Three Ribs ... Bizarre Timing

Published | Updated

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is hospitalized after taking a nasty fall that fractured 3 ribs, and the fall comes immediately on the heels of President Trump easing his path to confirming more Supreme Court Justices.

RBG's office says she fell Wednesday night while in her SCOTUS office, and even went home thinking she was fine -- but, after experiencing some pain overnight, the Justice decided to go to George Washington University Hospital Thursday morning. Doctors discovered the broken ribs and she was admitted.

The timing of 85-year-old RBG's fall is ominous, to say the least, if you're on the left. It came just 24 hours after the Republicans gained 2 Senate seats ... giving them a total of 53. Essentially, that means it will be much easier for Prez Trump to secure Senate confirmation on any future SCOTUS nominees, regardless of how conservative they are.

It's too early for any word on Justice Ginsburg's path to recovery just yet -- but definitely makes ya think.

RBG also took a spill back in 2012 and broke 2 ribs that time.

MODEL DOWN!

Elle Macpherson got body checked after taking a nasty tumble getting into her car ... and it appears to be the fault of some pesky footwear.

The iconic Aussie model was leaving a flower shop in Sydney, where she had a bouquet in her arms ... and some fancy high-heeled boots on her feet. She tells the paps who'd gathered around that she was done with photos ... but gravity wasn't done with her.

Bet this wouldn't have happened if she was in her natural habitat, just sayin'. #SplishSplash

'DWTS' Champ J.R. Martinez 'Better Call Saul' Amputee Messed Up But I'll Give Him a Pass, If ...

Published | Updated

The "Better Call Saul" actor who made headlines this week for falsely presenting himself as a war vet, deserves a chance to make good in Hollywood ... according to real Army vet and actor J.R. Martinez.

J.R. -- who won "Dancing With the Stars" in 2011 -- tells us Todd LaTourrette's admission he lied for years about how he lost his arm in order to score acting roles ... is absolutely despicable. Still, he's willing to give LaTourrette a pass, if he's serious about shedding light on mental illness.

If you missed it, LaTourrette confessed to KOB-TV he'd cut off his arm 17 years ago during a bipolar episode. When he started acting, he told producers he'd been wounded during military service. He says the lie worked for years and helped him score the role of Skell on 'Saul.'

J.R. says he appreciates Todd copping to the lie. He added, IF Todd puts "action" behind his promise to raise mental health awareness ... there's no reason he can't keep acting.

Interestingly, J.R. feels producers and casting directors also bare some blame. Check out his take ... he seems to be saying Hollywood owes it to real vets to make sure they're being authentically represented.

ICP's Shaggy 2 Dope Tries to Dropkick Fred Durst ... Doesn't Quite Make It

Published | Updated

Insane Clown Posse's Shaggy 2 Dope attempted to do something truly crazy this weekend to fellow rocker Fred Durst ... a running dropkick -- which totally crashed and burned.

Fred was performing with his own band, Limp Bizkit, Saturday night at the 2018 Rock Allegiance Festival in Camden, New Jersey when Shaggy tried rushing him on stage with a WWE wrestling move that completely backfired. The dropkick ended up dropping Shaggy more effectively than it did Fred ... and security quickly dragged him away to the side stage.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Fred was hardly rocked by the kick, which came up just a bit short, and he calmly announced to the audience ... "What a p***y. Couldn't even pull it off." As the stage handlers attempted to contain Shaggy, it appears another person in ICP's camp got into it as well.

No word on what Shaggy's beef might've been with Fred -- the two have collaborated in the past, but it's anyone's guess what triggered this. We'll leave it to the Juggalos to decide.
