Warren Sapp is FURIOUS with Hall of Fame voters for snubbing Terrell Owens -- and says Randy Moss could be in serious trouble if candidates are being judged by off-the-field behavior.

Sapp -- a Hall of Famer himself -- says he's "up in arms" about the Owens situation because the guy is clearly one of the best WRs of all time ... along with Moss.

But with Owens not getting enough H.O.F. votes for the 2nd year in a row, Sapp clearly believes he's being wrongly punished for his off-the-field antics.

Sapp warns, "What do we do next year when Randy Moss is standing there?"

Of course, Moss also had major off-the-field issues during his NFL career -- including a 2002 arrest for allegedly striking a cop with his car (he later pled guilty to misdemeanor traffic violations).

He also failed an NFL drug test and was fined multiple times for abusing the refs -- including the infamous water bottle incident in 2000, when he squirted water at an official and was fined $40,000.

He also allegedly went on the radio in 2010 and blasted his head coach, Jeff Fisher, while using a fake name.

But Sapp says it shouldn't matter, they BOTH belong in Canton.

"Hey, wake up voters! I don't know what the hell football ya'll been watching for the last 2 years but there's two receivers other than Jerry Rice that must be in the Hall of Fame and that's Randy Moss and T.O."

Who's got the balls to talk trash to LeBron James???? (besides Charles Barkley) ... how about the GREATEST competitor in the history of "The Challenge!!!"

TMZ Sports spoke with 'Challenge' legend Johnny Bananas ... who's DOMINATED on the MTV show for years ... and he strongly believes LeBron wouldn't stand a chance in his world.

FYI, "The Challenge" is a bunch of hot dudes and chicks who party their faces off and sometimes bang each other at night ... and then go to war in grueling physical competitions during the day. New season premieres tonight.

It's crazy ... these people are legit athletes.

So, we asked Johnny how a world-class physical specimen like LeBron would hold up. He ain't too confident in the King.

Cool moment in Houston ... when Migos performed its track, "Emmitt Smith" for the REAL Emmitt Smith -- and the NFL star went absolutely wild in the crowd!!!

It all went down at the New Era Caps party where Migos was performing for a pretty exclusive group of VIPs ... including the Hall of Fame running back.

Props to Smith for dabbing back at the rappers without spilling his drink.

The NY Yankees are FIRED UP about their big 22-year-old outfielder Clint Frazier -- who says Reggie Jackson is personally mentoring him ... even taking him out for froyo!

Frazier was the #5 overall pick in the 2013 MLB Draft -- and some say he could be the next GREAT home run hitter in the majors.

The Yankees are clearly believers -- and when we got Frazier out in NYC, he told us how he's been learning from one of the all-time greats, Mr. October.

The Patriots continue to take L's following their Super Bowl LI win ... 'cause yet ANOTHER piece of history is nowhere to be found -- James White's game-winning touchdown ball.

After Tom Brady's game jersey was stolen from the Pats locker room, White told Dan Patrick he has NO IDEA what happened to the pigskin that broke the plane in O.T.

Note to future NFL champs -- HOLD ONTO YOUR STUFF.

It's clear T.O. isn't letting his Hall of Fame snub keep him down ... getting way, way, way up to snatch an alley-oop out of midair in a charity basketball game, and TMZ Sports has the jam on video.

Terrell Owens balled in the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops game in Texas over the Super Bowl weekend, and while guys like Daniel Gibson, Steve Francis and Trinidad James were there, Owens had the highlight.

Obviously, there's a firestorm of controversy surrounding T.O. right now, but it's good to see that at 43 he can still remind the entire world he's one of the greatest athletes ever.

Bill Belichick. Julian Edelman. The ball boys. Reporters. Robert Kraft.

The Houston Police Dept. says they're looking at EVERYONE who had access to the Patriots locker room to find out who stole Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey ... 'cause right now they have no idea.

The Houston PD just addressed the media -- saying they're combing through lists of people who were in the locker room when the jersey went missing.

They're also asking for reporters and camera people to check video in the hopes someone caught the thief in the act.

Bottom line ... the jersey is still missing and cops don't seem to have any real leads.

It's 36 DEGREES in Boston right now ... and Rob Gronkowski has stripped off his shirt and is DOUBLE POUNDING BEERS at the Patriots Super Bowl parade.

Michael Vick just started a barber shop debate for the ages ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks his Madden '04 character ... NOT Bo Jackson's Tecmo Bowl BEAST ... is the GOAT of video game football.

Vick came on the "TMZ Sports" TV Show (weeknights on FS1) and was asked who he thinks is the more ridiculous, unfair player to play between himself and Bo.

There's no easy answer ... Bo legendarily couldn't be tackled on Tecmo Bowl, while Vick had a FREAKIN' 94 SPEED RATING at QB, meaning the only way to stop him was to assault your opponent.

Mike puts all his faith in a familiar guy ... himself ... and gives some pretty good reasons why '04 Vick knows dominance better than Bo.

BTW -- If you use either player you're a hack.

Patriots fans braved the weather to welcome the Super Bowl LI Champs back to New England ... with Tom Brady leading the parade through the streets of Boston.

Kim Zolciak admits her 4-year-old son holds his father's gun but says haters need to swallow a chill pill because the piece isn't loaded.

Kim's son, Kash, filled out a school questionnaire introducing his dad, former NFL star Kroy Biermann ... and one of his answers read, "I love him because he lets me hold his real gun."

Kim caught serious heat after posting the questionnaire, but she tells us Kroy's Desert Eagle pistol is NEVER loaded when they let Kash hold it.

She adds ... Kash "is not shooting it, and we have a huge safe that we put the gun in, and in there they are not loaded as well."

Steve Sarkisian's latest run as a college coach is over after just 1 game ... 'cause the now ex-Alabama offensive coordinator is bolting Tuscaloosa for the Atlanta Falcons.

The Falcons just announced that Sarkisian -- who 'Bama hired to replace Lane Kiffin as coordinator back in December -- has accepted the team's vacant offensive coordinator position ... after Kyle Shanahan left to coach the 49ers.

Sark coached 'Bama in just 1 game ... the National Championship loss to Clemson.

BTW, just last week we saw Sark at LAX and asked him whether he'd ever be interested in the NFL.

Bad news for Patriots running back James White -- he's NOT getting Tom Brady's Super Bowl MVP truck ... because the Super Bowl MVP didn't get one this year!

Of course, Brady DID get an MVP truck after Super Bowl 49 which he gave to Malcolm Butler -- back when Chevy was the Super Bowl MVP sponsor.

The QB told the media on Monday that he would give his Super Bowl 51 truck to James White -- who scored the winning TD -- but it turns out, there's no truck to give away.

An NFL spokesman tells TMZ Sports, "[There is] no vehicle. We did not do it last year either."

So, if Tom still wants to give White a truck -- he'll have to do it with his own money.

Julian Edelman says his Super Bowl miracle catch was more luck than skill -- and admits he wasn't even sure it was gonna count when the ref blew the whistle!!!

The New England Pats WR appeared on "The Tonight Show" with his coach, Bill Belichick, on Monday and, of course, they dissected the hell out of that insane 4th quarter game-saving catch.

"It was probably 70% luck," a very bearded Edelman said ... admitting he tried to get Tom Brady to rush the next play so the refs couldn't review it!

Didn't matter ... it was as legit as it gets and Jimmy Fallon says the WR should use his newfound global catch fame to start a new business!

Hey, New England Patriots star James White ... you just scored the winning touchdown at the Super Bowl. What are you gonna do next??

I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!

Check out these pics of the 25-year-old running back enjoying the spoils of victory -- partying with Mickey Mouse at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando!

There's more ... Tom Brady just announced he's giving White the car he won for being the Super Bowl MVP -- saying he thinks White deserves it!

Great week for that guy, huh?!

Looks like RECONCILIATION for Scottie Pippen and his estranged wife, Larsa -- the two had a pretty big date night in Hollywood together Monday night ... with Larsa sporting a FAT new diamond ring.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Scottie filed for divorce back in October following a series of domestic incidents at their Florida home. Larsa had called 911 multiple times but no arrests were ever made.

But that was then ... now, it seems they've made up -- because last night they looked very couply as they hit The Nice Guy in West Hollywood.

Inside the restaurant, Scottie was all smiles as he sang with David Foster. Kourtney Kardashian was also inside.

As for Larsa's new ring, she posted a pic calling it her Valentine's present. She wouldn't say who gave it to her when we asked ... but it seems pretty obvious now.
