NFL's Denard Robinson Small Fine For Crashing In Pond
Jacksonville Jaguars' Denard Robinson is almost off the hook in his bizarre pond accident ... 'cause all he has to do is pay a small court-ordered fine.
The 25-year-old running back was cited for careless driving after crossing a few lanes of traffic and crashing his car into a retention pond on July 3rd.
According to Florida Times-Union's Larry Hannan, Robinson just pled no contest to the citation. The judge ordered him to pay $100 fine and said he'll get no points on his driving record.
Robinson was not present in court, but sent his attorney, Henry Coxe, on his behalf. He argued Robinson's car drifted after he fell asleep at a red light ... but barely went into the water.
Coxe gave us a picture that shows where Robinson's car was when the tow truck showed up.

Modest Mouse Singer I Fell Asleep at the Wheel ... Caused 5 Car Pileup
Modest Mouse lead singer Isaac Brock admits falling asleep while driving -- which caused a chain reaction wreck -- and only a stroke of luck separated him from Caitlyn Jenner's fate.
Brock dozed off Wednesday while driving in Portland, OR ... and smashed into the back of a city parks vehicle, which hit a 3rd, which hit a 4th and a 5th. From the the looks of it Brock's Land Rover got the worst of the pileup.
He told TMZ ... "I feel asleep at the wheel, nodded off and next thing I knew there was a car." He says he suffered a bruised sternum from the airbag, but says it definitely saved his life.
One other driver was hospitalized with a concussion. Police checked Brock for impairment, but he passed. He was only cited for careless driving.
It's interesting, Jenner was eventually tagged with inattentive driving for the PCH wreck last year, but due to there being a fatality ... she was initially investigated for vehicular manslaughter. The D.A. ended up rejecting the case.
Brock got really lucky.

Anton Yelchin Parents to Sue Over Car Death
Anton Yelchin's parents have lawyered up and are planning to sue Fiat Chrysler and other companies they believe are responsible for the "wrongful death" of the "Star Trek" actor.
Yelchin was killed back in June when his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled backwards at his home -- and pinned him against a security gate.
Yelchin's parents say they're going after Fiat Chrysler (which makes the Cherokee) along with manufacturer ZF North America.
They're also suing the AutoNation car retailer chain -- which is presumably where he bought the car.
The family lawyer says the Yelchins want punitive damages "for the wrongful death of their son due to significant defects" in the Jeep.
You'll recall, a class action suit was filed against Fiat Chrsyler in the days following Yelchin's death claiming the 2015 Cherokee has a faulty e-shift which makes drivers think their car is in park when it's actually in neutral.

Floyd Mayweather Drops An INSANE $50k On Car ... Repairs
There's only one thing crazier than spending $3.5 million on a Bugatti Gran Sport Vitesse ... spending $50k just to get the damn thing serviced ... but that's exactly what Floyd Mayweather just did.
We spoke to Obi Okeke from DoctorBugatti.com who tells us he just serviced Floyd's Bugatti ... and it came out to a little bit more than your annual trip to Pep Boys.
Here's the breakdown ... 4 2015 Bugatti tires $33k ... basic service (oil & fluid changes) $23k ... then to top it off a $3k detailing service where the damn Armor All must be made out of 24k gold.
Final price tag was well over $50k.
Wanna feel even LESS normal? Obi says he's had to start AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE COMPANY to service Floyd's cars because he has to move them around for service so often.
Just ... wow.

Brandon Marshall I Spoke with AB About Car Bet ... Deal In Works
The Brandon Marshall vs. Antonio Brown car bet is ONE STEP CLOSER TO HAPPENING ... because the two stars spoke on Thursday to hash out the terms ... TMZ Sports has learned.
After Marshall made the initial bet, Brown told the NY Jets WR to "call me" if he was serious about wagering their expensive cars on who would have more receiving yards in 2016. Marshall put his Porsche against AB's Rolls-Royce.
Turns out, Marshall picked up the phone -- because we just spoke to Brandon who gave us the following statement:
"We spoke yesterday to work out the details of this deal. We'll let you guys know what happens."
He added, "There are so many things that make playing in the NFL fun. One of which is the game within the game. AB has taken the WR position to another level. There are a few guys who won't let him sit on top of the hill by himself. I am one of those guys."
Stay tuned ...

Denard Robinson Lucky I Didn't Kill Anyone ... In Bizarre Pond Crash
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson says he's "blessed" that he didn't hurt or kill anyone when he crashed his car into a pond earlier this month ... saying, "The situation could have been a lot worse."
Robinson spoke with reporters Thursday about the July 3rd accident -- in which his Impala drifted across several lanes of traffic and crashed into a retention pond. Cops say Robinson and a female passenger were asleep in the sinking car when help arrived.
"I fell asleep at the light ... I was at the light sitting there waiting and I ended up dozing off. It was late at night and I had a busy day. It was one of those days where I should’ve just stayed in."
He was also adamant he was NOT under the influence of drugs or alcohol -- saying, "If that was the case, I would’ve had a DUI."
FYI, Robinson was not arrested -- as the responding officer did not believe Robinson showed signs of intoxication.
Still, Denard says he's happy no one was hurt.
"I feel blessed, because it could have been a situation where I wasn’t talking to you right now ... The situation could’ve been way worse."
"I could’ve hurt somebody or killed somebody, so I’m truly blessed that nothing happened to nobody. I came out with no scratches and my passenger was the same way."

Robin Thicke, Paula Patton Loaning Stuff to Your Ex is Risky Business
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton both just learned a lesson about divorce ... don't loan and don't borrow your ex's car, because it can cost you dearly.
We're told Paula got pulled over a few days ago by the CHP for speeding and an unsafe lane change. Deputies quickly noticed the registration on the Range Rover had expired.
Now the problems. It's not Paula's Range Rover. It's Robin's. Apparently he loans it to her from time to time. We're told Robin's people just forgot to write the DMV check.
Now here's the lesson for everyone. From Paula's point of view, she's rolling the dice when she drive's someone else's car ... all sorts of things could go wrong, including a traffic stop because the owner didn't pay the piper.
What Robin did is even dicier. If Paula's erratic driving resulted in an accident, Robin would be on the hook if the victim decided to sue.
Short story ... Keep separate property separate, pay your bills, and obey the speed limit.

Jeremy Piven Bike Victim I Got Cut Deep But I'm Not Suing
Jeremy Piven is damn lucky the biker who slammed into his car door ... happens to be more starstruck than pissed off about the accident.
Erick Netterblad tells TMZ it was surreal seeing Piven's face moments after his chest was gashed open. He says he immediately recognized him from "Entourage" as he crashed to the ground.
Netterblad has no plans to sue though, since he says Piven was totally helpful. He says the actor called police and an ambulance, rescued his bike from the road and got him water. When Netterblad wanted to lay down, Piven advised him not to, and instead made him sit in the shade -- and he didn't leave until the ambulance left.
Netterblad got several stitches, but was out of the hospital about 5 hours later.

Rick Ross I Dropped $230k For the Boss of G-Wagons
Rick Ross just paid the cost to truly be the boss of luxury SUV owners -- snapping up a rare version of the popular G-Wagon that blows away the rest.
Rick traveled to Fort Lauderdale on Monday to purchase a new white Mercedes-Benz G65-Wagon from Euro Motorsport. He was beyond lucky to snag one -- only 65 make it to the U.S. each year, and it's not just some well-to-do soccer mom's ride.
This $230,000 whip comes with a V-12 twin turbo engine, and 630 horsepower that goes from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds! Hell, if it's good enough for the Pope -- who's used this model -- it's good enough for Ricky Rozay.
We're told he dropped some extra cheddar for the two-tone, diamond stitched leather interior.
No biggie for Rick, who's hit up EM's Gene Morales for at least 35 cars in the last decade.
Johnny Manziel Crash The Polite 911 Call 'I'm Not Hurt'
Talk about cool under pressure ...
Johnny Manziel couldn't have been more polite and composed in the moments after he was T-boned in a hit-and-run incident in Dallas last month ... at least judging by the 911 call.
TMZ Sports obtained the audio from the June 20th incident -- in which Manziel reports that his car door was smashed in by a 4-door Charger that sped off after the collision.
"I'm okay. I'm not hurt ... but I was definitely just in an accident."
Johnny said he also had a witness who will vouch that the QB did nothing wrong.
But the best part of the call is when the dispatcher asks for the caller's name -- and you hear the voice sheepishly respond, "Jonathan Manziel."
As we previously reported, cops are investigating the crash. As for Johnny, he refused medical attention and left for Cabo a few days later.
