Philadelphia Eagles

It was only a matter of time ... but now the hotel worker who claims he was brutally attacked by Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham is suing the NFL star.

As we previously reported, Bradham was arrested in July after allegedly beating the living crap out of a staffer at the Hilton Bentley in South Beach, Miami.

In his lawsuit, the staffer -- a 50-year-old Haitian man -- says he was setting up beach umbrellas for Bradham and his team when the NFL star got upset at what he perceived as "slow service."

The accuser claims Bradham socked him in the face for no reason and then "violently tackled [him] to the ground" where he continued to bash in the guy's face.

The accuser says the beating finally stopped when bystanders began shouting they were calling the police ... and Bradham and his crew fled the scene.

The accuser says he suffered major injuries -- including a concussion, cuts, back pain, a broken eye socket and a broken nose. He's already undergone 2 surgeries to fix the damage.

Bradham was later charged with felony battery and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He has pled not guilty in the criminal case.

Jon Dorenbos is having one helluva year -- after finishing 3rd on "America's Got Talent," the magician just signed a brand new 3 year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Seems like 3 is his magic number!

Of course, Dorenbos has been the Eagles' long-snapper since 2006 -- but after his massive success on 'AGT' coupled with the fact he's 36, some people thought he'd pursue the magic thing full time.

But that's not the case ... at least not yet ... with Ian Rapoport reporting that he just inked a new deal that will keep him with Philly until 2019!

Obviously, the contract won't stop him from expanding his magic career -- he just appeared on "Ellen" a few days ago and CRUSHED IT!

Congrats!

Josh Huff says he's sorry for bringing negative attention to the Eagles with his drug, gun and DUI arrest -- and says he promises to correct the mistakes he's made.

After being cut by the team Thursday morning, Huff has issued a full statement (via ESPN) apologizing to the Eagles staff, owners, teammates and fans.

"I'm sorry that any action by me brought negative light to this organization."

The Philadelphia Eagles have released wide receiver Josh Huff -- just 2 days after he was arrested for DUI with a gun, ammunition and weed in his car.

Huff was the special teams player of the week on October 26th after returning a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown on the 23rd.

Huff was arrested on Tuesday near Philadelphia -- he was originally pulled over for speeding and illegal window tinting. During the stops, cops say they found a handgun (that allegedly wasn't licensed) and hollow point bullets.

Philadelphia Eagles' Josh Huff was arrested for gun and weed possession after he was pulled over for speeding ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to the Delaware River Port Authority criminal complaint, the 25-year-old wide receiver was stopped on the Walt Whitman Bridge in Jersey around 11 AM after cops saw him going 25 mph over the speed limit.

Police say his car reeked of weed -- and when a cop asked him about the smell, Huff handed him a "tight vac" container of "suspected marijuana."

Cops say Huff also told them he had a handgun in the car -- which was found in the driver's side door, next to a magazine that contained "six hollow point bullets."

Huff was booked for gun possession without a permit and marijuana possession (less than 50 grams). His bail was set at $25k.

He was also charged with DUI and illegal window tinting.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham has pled not guilty to a concealed weapons charge -- after allegedly taking a loaded gun through the airport earlier this month.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bradham was popped at Miami International Airport on Oct. 2nd after officials say he put a loaded firearm through the TSA screening machine.

We're told Bradham had a concealed weapons permit -- but the bigger issue is that he was out on bond from an unrelated assault case where one of the terms was he wasn't allowed to carry a gun.

The concealed weapons charge is a 2nd degree misdemeanor and if he's convicted, he could face up to 6 months in jail.

Move over, Joe Biden ... there's a new passenger on the Wentz Wagon -- Chelsea Clinton!

Chelsea was in North Dakota visiting with Senator Heidi Heitkamp -- when she handed Hillary's daughter a #11 jersey for her husband, Marc, who was born in Philly.

Of course, Carson Wentz played his college ball at North Dakota State before being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Chelsea LOVED the gift and tweeted back, "Thank you for the warm welcome Heidi & for the #Wentz jersey for Marc (even if one of our kids will be wearing it on Sundays)! #FlyEaglesFly."

She's just the latest celebrity to join the Wentz fan craze ... joining Biden, Sly Stallone and Pete Wentz.

More bad news for Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham -- he's finally been formally charged with felony battery for allegedly punching a hotel worker back in July.

The 27-year-old was arrested in Miami on July 25th after officials say he got violent with a Hilton Bentley worker who was setting up a beach umbrella for the NFL player's group.

Officials say Bradham got upset because the worker was taking too long -- so he punched the guy in the face. Someone in Bradham's group allegedly smashed the worker over the head with a glass bottle.

Now, the Miami State Attorney’s Office tells us Bradham has been formally charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm -- a 2nd degree felony.

Bradham has pled not guilty -- but if he's convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. The trial is set for January.

The Carson Wentz wagon is reaching capacity ... 'cause yet another Eagles superfan is hoppin' on board ... with Sly Stallone saying the rookie QB can lead Philly to a Super Bowl THIS YEAR!!

Of course, Wentz is only 3 games into his NFL career ... but Stallone explains why he's already convinced the kid can go the distance.

The Eagles are on a bye week ... but then they've got the Lions, Redskins, Vikings and Cowboys.

Joe Biden is ALL THE WAY ONBOARD THE WENTZ WAGON!!!

The Vice President just dished out some HUGE compliments to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz on Twitter ... essentially saying the rookie is gonna fly the bird gang all the way to the Super Bowl.

"Heart, guts, and poise from my guy, @CJ_Wentz. Huge game, strong start for the @Eagles. @DrBiden (Jill Biden) is pumped. It's our year."

Biden -- a huge Eagles fan -- had already bragged about Wentz to President Obama ... but that was before he beat up on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Been a pretty big day for Wentz ... Eagles head coach Doug Pederson compared him to Peyton Manning (when it comes to film study).

No doubt the guy's playing great ... but before we clear out a section in Canton, remember ... IT'S ONLY WEEK 3!

Carson Wentz is lightin' it up in the league ... but if he was on the L.A. Rams, he'd be sittin' on the bench, just like Jared Goff ... NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson tells TMZ Sports.

Dickerson -- one of the greatest Rams of all time -- joined "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) to discuss the 2 QBs ... and whether the Rams screwed up selecting the one they did.

FYI -- Wentz, the #2 pick, has led his Eagles to a 2-0 start (3 TDs, 0 INTs). On the other hand, Goff, the #1 pick, was inactive for the Rams 1st game ... and served as the backup for the 2nd.

So, does Eric think the Rams screwed up not drafting Wentz? And if they drafted him, would he be killin' it with the Rams like he has with the Eagles?

Pete Wentz is stoked he's not the top result when you Google his last name ... because that honor now belongs to Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.

We got the Fall Out Boy frontman at LAX ... he tells us he loves the now famous rookie QB so much he loaded up on Carson merch -- even after he whooped up on his hometown Bears.

President Obama says his #2 is ALL IN on the Eagles rookie QB -- with Joe Biden advising POTUS to get on the "Wentz Wagon" ASAP.

Obama was stumping for Hillary Clinton out in Philly earlier Tuesday -- when he talked about how impressed his Vice President was with Carson Wentz when he attended the Eagles game over the weekend.

"He told me, 'Barack, you gotta get on the Wentz Wagon!'"

It's pretty funny ... but Obama says there's NO WAY he'll root for the Birds -- "I explained, 'Joe, I am a Bears fan and we play Philly next Monday night. So, I gotta stick with my team!"

FYI, Biden's a HUGE Eagles fan -- and even took pics with the team after Wentz led the team to victory on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles long snapper who's KILLING IT on "America's Got Talent" says he's got another trick up his sleeve ... he's mentoring an NFL legend in the ways of the wand.

We got Jon Dorenbos out at LAX hours after he was voted into the 'AGT' finals, thanks to another MIND-BLOWING trick on the show.

Turns out, Dorenbos is spreading the magic love back at Eagles training camp -- where one of his all-time favorite players has taken an apprentice role.

BONUS -- We also asked Dorenbos one huge fantasy football question -- should you invest a draft pick in his Eagles teammate, Dorial Green-Beckham ... the massive WR from Mizzou???

It's official ... the Philly District Attorney says Eagles WR Nelson Agholor will NOT be charged with a crime following allegations he raped a woman at a strip club back in June.

A dancer at Cheerleader's Gentlemen's Club in Philly had told police the 23-year-old sexually assaulted her around 3 PM on a Thursday afternoon ... after Agholor and some teammates stopped by the joint after football practice.

Cops investigated the situation and kicked the case over to the D.A.'s office nearly 3 weeks ago.

But now, Philly D.A. Seth Williams says .... "Our staff and the Police reached the conclusion that we lacked sufficient evidence to bring charges against Mr. Agholor, therefore no charges will be filed."

Philadelphia Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos KILLED IT on "America's Got Talent" on Tuesday -- pulling off a magic trick that left Simon Cowell's jaw thiiiis close to the floor.

Turns out the 14 year NFL veteran -- and 2 time Pro Bowler -- dabbles in magic in his off time ... and put his skills on display on the NBC show this week.
