Published | Updated

Snoop Dogg, DJ Khaled and Ja Rule hooped it up in Houston for Super Bowl Weekend.

The trio was joined by other celebs and athletes, including Doug Flutie and Porsha Williams at NFL'er Antonio Brown's Celebrity SuperSlam Basketball Game at Joe K Butler Sports Complex Friday night.

Snoop's a natural -- and Khaled found the bucket too -- but it's Snoop's on-bench interview that really shows why he's the man.

LET'S GO PATS

Tim Tebow is a man of God, and a man of Brady.

We got the crossover player leaving an ESPN party in Houston Friday night, and he told us he's pickin' the Patriots over the Falcons. Remember, he played for the Pats for a minute in 2013.

What's even more interesting ... you would think Tebow might be excited Vice President Pence is coming to the game -- they're both super religious, but Tebow handles this political football gingerly.

LET'S ALL GET ALONG

Former Atlanta Falcon defensive end Osi Umenyiora thinks it's a good thing Veep Mike Pence is showing his face at the Super Bowl, but doesn't think it's the right time or place for protest.

We got Osi at the ESPN party in Houston Friday night, and he thinks Colin Kaepernick effectively made his statement during the season ... at first he says he's against keeling at the big game, but then softens his position and says its a matter of choice for the players.

Sunday should be interesting.

SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HELP

WWE legend Tammy Sytch says she has "tremendous guilt feelings" about the death of her good friend, Chyna ... admitting she failed to get her the help she needed when she saw Chyna struggling.

Sytch -- aka Sunny -- was on her way to court-ordered rehab this week when she told us Chyna's death has been on her mind for months. The two were very close and would FaceTime every night.

The Hall of Famer says she recognized Chyna was going down a bad path and tried to convince her to go to rehab -- but she refused, and died while Sytch was seeking treatment for herself.

Obviously, Chyna's death isn't Tammy's fault ... but Sytch says she wishes she could've gotten her friend to see the light. Chyna passed away in April after overdosing on Rx pills and booze.

As for Tammy ... her next stop is another stint in rehab to combat her ongoing alcohol issues -- and she says she's receiving the full support of the WWE.

KICKIN' DOWN THE RECORD

Adam Vinatieri did it again ... coming through in the clutch to set a Guinness World Record in field goal kicking -- and TMZ Sports has the video.

The 44-year-old (can you believe it?) was gunning to break a speed-kicking record at the NFL Experience in Houston ... 19 field goals from 20 yards out in 60 seconds.

Well, shocker ... A.V. wasn't fazed and CRUSHED the record ... hitting 28 kicks!

As a result, BarclayCard will now donate $15,000 to the Pat Tillman Foundation -- how cool is that!

Almost as good as hitting the winning FG in the Super Bowl. Almost.

NFL Linemen Allegedly Robbed By 'Drugging Divas'

Published | Updated

Cops say Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain is the latest victim of the "Drugging Divas" -- a team of women targeting rich guys, drugging their drinks, and robbing them.

This time, officials say Spain met one of the "Divas" at an Orlando nightclub on January 27th -- and she asked to go back his place.

When they got there, the woman made Spain a drink -- spiked it -- and when he passed out, she jacked $113,000 in jewelry ... including his gold chains and $40,000 Rolex watch.

Officials believe the suspect has been working with another woman in the area who has been doing the exact same thing -- they've labelled the suspects the "Drugging Divas."

Officials are offering up a $1,000 reward for info leading to the arrest of the Divas.

So far, no comment from Spain.

By the way, it's not like this hasn't happened before ... a group of 49ers stars hit the strip club on the Thursday night before the 2013 Super Bowl. They lost that game to the Ravens.

THERE'S NO COMPARISON

When it comes to the greatest football coach of all time, IT AIN'T BILL BELICHICK ... not even close ... so says NFL Hall of Famer Dave Robinson, who says he'll never outshine Vince Lombardi.

Full disclosure ... Robinson is a Packers legend who won two Super Bowls under Coach Lombardi -- so, he may be a bit biased. But he's extremely passionate.

And wait'll you hear what he says about the suggestion that the NFL should rename the Lombardi Trophy as the "Belichick Trophy" ... he ain't havin' it.

Margot Robbie Tonya Harding to a T ... 'Suck My D***!'

Published | Updated

If you couldn't imagine Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding ... you will now, 'cause she NAILED the most awesome Tonya line ever during filming.

This clip from the behind the scenes of the Tonya movie seems to be recreating one of her many infamous moments ... when Harding got pissed at U.S. Figure Skating officials ragging on her outfit.

If Margot isn't the perfect physical fit for the role ... she's definitely got the mouth down. It's unclear if Tonya really did punctuate the argument this way -- but if she didn't, she'll wish she had when she sees Margot do it.

We're starting to smell Oscar.
