Dez Bryant unleashed the fury all over a Twitter troll Wednesday -- saying haters "have no clue" what he's been dealing with off the field over the past 2 years and should "shut the f**k up."

It all started when Cowboys reporter Jon Machota posted a list of WRs with the most receiving yards since 2012 which showed Dez ranked 8th ... below Calvin Johnson, T.Y. Hilton and Brandon Marshall.

Dez explained that he's finally getting his first healthy off-season training in 2 years and suggested he'll bounce back strong in 2017.

Not everyone's buying it -- including one guy who tweeted at Dez, "Injury prone. If your not on the field, talent means nothing! If you miss more than 5 games in 17' you'll be cut 2018!UNDERSTAND."

Dez didn't like that and fired back ...

"Bro shut the f**k up.. the game of football is more than training and playing.. you have no clue what I was dealing with these pass 2 years."

We know SOME of what he's dealt with off the field ... he's been sued for allegedly trashing a mansion and blasted by animal groups over a pet monkey ... but it seems like Dez is hinting at bigger issues.

Joe Mixon just dominated at Oklahoma's pro day -- posting VERY impressive numbers in various drills -- but the question remains ... will an NFL team actually pull the trigger in April?

Obviously, Mixon's past is a huge red flag -- he wasn't invited to the NFL combine because of the video showing him brutalizing a female student in 2014.

Instead, Mixon put his skills on a display at a special workout on the Oklahoma campus -- putting up numbers that would put him in the Top 10 against other RB prospects in almost every category.

Mixon reportedly posted a 4.43 second 40-yard dash time (which would've been the 4th fastest time among running backs at the combine) and completed 21 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press.

Some experts say Mixon will still be drafted as high as the 2nd round ... others say he could fall out of the draft entirely.

Rodney Peete got the BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE at dinner Tuesday night ... sitting right next to Beyonce!!!

The ex-NFL QB and his wife, Holly Robinson Peete, were all at dinner at The District By Hannah An in L.A. to celebrate Beyonce's stepfather, Richard Lawson, who turned 70!

And while everyone was celebrating Richard ... Rodney got the REAL honor -- quality time with Queen Bey.

By the way, he also stood next to B in the group photo (instead of his wife) but it's BEYONCE, so we're guessing she's cool with it.

Ty Lawson broke the terms of his probation by testing positive for alcohol THREE TIMES over the past 7 months ... this according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, the Sacramento Kings star is on probation stemming from his 2015 drunk driving case in Denver ... and part of the terms required Lawson to stay completely sober and submit to alcohol testing.

But officials say Lawson tested positive for booze on 9/27, 9/29 and 2/7.

FYI, the Kings had the day off on 2/7 in between two home games.

Lawson spoke with reporters at Kings Media Day on Sept. 26 ... giving interviews about his troubled past, including the drunk driving arrest ... and vowing to move forward.

The next day, officials say he tested positive for booze.

Officials want the judge to revoke Lawson's probation and subject him to harsher punishment -- which includes jail time.

Tom Brady loves his ladies ... and decided to honor the females in his life on International Women's Day with a special photo tribute!

The QB posted a pic of his wife, mom, sisters, nieces and daughter and wrote a pretty touching message to his she-gang.

"Happy International Women's Day! I have been beyond blessed to have the most incredible support system and this picture sums it up."

"To the love of my life, @gisele, my mom, my sisters, my nieces and my little Girlie Girl -- thank you for bringing so much love and joy to my life."

"And thank you for being such great examples of compassion and empathy. The world needs much more of it! I love you all!!"

Hulk Hogan was such a violent beast as Thunderlips on the set of "Rocky III" ... he accidentally put 3 GUYS in the hospital during the filming of his famous boxing ring brawl with the Italian Stallion.

Stallone has finally revealed the crazy story 35 YEARS after the movie hit theaters ... describing how a young actor named Terry Bollea (6'7", 295 pounds with 24" biceps) didn't know his own strength!

"I remember a violent move where he threw me into the corner , charged across the ring like an ENRAGED bull and leaped so amazingly high Above me,that his shinbone actually came down giant tree on my collarbone , and I tumbled to the floor," Stallone said in an Instagram post.

"I was afraid to look at my shoulder for about 10 minutes ... I said "don't roll me over , don't move me, " because I was sure there was bone protruding through my upper chest!"

That's when Stallone brought up the poor guys who really did suffer injuries ...

"Believe it or not when he jumped into the audience to fight with the stuntmen , three of them had to be treated at the hospital."

Stallone concluded with a message to his old co-star:

"HULK , if you're reading this, it was a privilege to be mangled by such a gentleman."

Aaron Rodgers has taken a side in the whole Arian Foster vs. Wolf debate ... and it's man over beast.

Foster got EVERYONE talking this week when he tweeted out reasons why he truly believes he could take a wild wolf in a 1-on-1 fight.

He even laid out his arguments as to why he thinks he has a legit advantage ... including thumbs and ability to strategize.

Well, outside Catch in L.A. ... Rodgers told us he sees it Foster's way.

Here's the situation ...

YOU have 16. DEALER has a 10 showing.

Hit or stay?!!?!

Charles Barkley -- one of the most famous high-roller blackjack players in the world (he's won and lost MILLIONS over the years) -- gives his take and it seems like awful advice!!!

But to confirm our suspicions, we went to the leading blackjack expert in the world -- Jeff Ma -- a former member of that MIT blackjack team that inspired the book, "Bringing Down the House" (which later became the movie "21").

Jeff tells you the RIGHT way to play the hand and BLASTS Barkley as a straight-up coward.

Good luck ...

Casper Smart says there's a reason he's putting in work on the MMA mat ... and it's not to beat up J Lo's next boyfriend ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to be an action movie star!

We got Casper out in Vegas and talked to him about his MMA training, which he's taken quite seriously since he starred in the combat themed movie "Street" a couple years ago.

Smart says anyone who thinks he's doing all this work for a shot at the UFC is super WRONG ... telling our guy he's getting his rounds in so he can be the next big action star.

BTW -- we also ask Smart who he thinks would win in a fight between him and Drake, Lopez's last (rumored) flame.

The Uber driver who picked up Dwyane Wade from a Waffle House in Orlando Tuesday damn near lost his mind when he realized he had an NBA superstar in his ride ... and the video is awesome!

Wade had rented out the restaurant to grub with his Chicago Bulls teammates Rajon Rondo, Jerian Grant and others when he ordered an Uber to take him back to the team hotel.

But his driver happened to be a HUGE Miami Heat fan -- and fanboys out over the future Hall of Famer.

In fact, he tells D-Wade he couldn't believe the Heat ever let him go.

Wade loved the guy -- and said they're already "fast friends."

So ... 5 star rating then?

Ex-USC football player Osa Masina will NOT be charged with rape in Los Angeles with prosecutors citing lack of evidence ... but he's still facing charges in Utah.

As we previously reported, Masina was investigated over an alleged July 2016 incident in which the female accuser claims Masina and another USC football player, Don Hill, raped her while she was passed out after drinking and doing drugs all day.

Masina adamantly denied raping the woman -- and told investigators she had consented to the sex acts.

Now, prosecutors say the investigation is complete and Masina will not be hit with charges. Here's why:

"Due to the victim's description of the amount of controlled substances and alcohol consumed by the suspects, as well as Masina's statements, there is insufficient evidence to prove they knew or should have known that she was unable to legally consent."

Prosecutors add, "There is insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt."

As for the case in Utah, Masina has been charged with forcible rape and forcible sodomy for another incident with the same woman a week after the L.A. incident.

The trial is set to begin later this month.

Tyron Woodley said an emotional pre-fight encounter with a woman whose daughter recently died inspired him in the 5th round at UFC 209 ... and he's shipping her his championship belt.

It's a pretty incredible story ... Woodley says the woman (who works at T-Mobile Arena where the fight was being held) approached him before UFC 209 and told him that she had lost her daughter recently and watching his fights had helped her get through the tough times.

Woodley says he thought about the woman and her family during the fight and it motivated him in the championship rounds.

After defeating Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, Woodley says his team tracked down the woman -- and he plans to send her his belt because he knows how much it means to her.

Ty Lawson has some serious explaining to do ... because officials in Denver believe the Sacramento Kings star violated his probation and are gunning for a warrant, TMZ Sports has learned.

Lawson is currently on probation stemming from his 2015 drunk driving case in Denver -- but the Denver Probation Dept. has filed a complaint seeking to revoke his probation citing a potential violation.

Officials would not say what the alleged violation is ... but confirmed to TMZ Sports that a bench warrant has been requested so they can bring Lawson to court for a hearing on the matter.

We're told a judge has not signed off on the warrant at this point.

Some of the requirements of Lawson's probation -- which was scheduled to end on March 22 -- included monitored sobriety, 48 hours of community service, 52 hours of therapy and no marijuana use.

Eric Dickerson tells TMZ Sports his 21-year-old college football star cousin has Hall of Fame potential ... saying he expects "great things" out of the former Texas A&M tight end.

Eric's relative is Ricky Seals-Jones -- a 6'5", 243 pound tight end who just worked out for pro scouts at the NFL Combine.

E.D. says the kid has insane potential -- he's big, strong and smart ... scoring a 27 on the Wonderlic test (that's 2 points higher than Dak Prescott).

Several mock drafts have Seals-Jones as a late-round pick, but Dickerson says all that means is a team could wind up with a steal.

"It's not about where you got drafted, it's about the work you put in as a player, your dedication. How dedicated you are to this sport. I know him, I know he's a very dedicated."

We also spoke with Ricky ... who explains what it's like to have Eric as a mentor and why he wants to team up with Cam Newton.
