Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin loves him some Le'Veon Bell -- but he ain't listening to the RB's rap music.

Bell -- aka "Juice" -- has kinda blown up in the rap world over the past year ... getting some real traction from his Skip Bayless diss track and the secret song he recorded with Snoop Dogg.

But Tomlin tells TMZ Sports he hasn't listened to a single second -- not because he's anti-Juice ... "I'm too old for all that."

Tomlin says his teenage kids are probably Juice fans -- but he's an old school kind of a guy.

"I'm 45-years-old man. I like Erick and Parrish Makin’ Dollas -- I’m an EPMD guy."

BTW, Tomlin was out with his pal, Jay Glazer -- and the two of 'em weighed in on Mayweather vs. McGregor ... with the Steelers coach basically putting the super fight on blast.

Jon Gruden's son is a competitive powerlifter -- he's jacked as hell -- and tells TMZ Sports his best numbers on the bench, squat and deadlift are CRAZY impressive.

23-year-old Deuce Gruden is currently in Belarus where he took 1st place in the junior 183-pound weight class at the International Powerlifting Federation Classic.

Deuce -- who's an assistant coach with the Washington Redskins -- says he credits his famous father for helping him become a world-class lifter ... and then he busted out the number.

Deuce also told us about Jon's workout routine these days -- and the numbers ain't too bad for a 53-year-old non-professional athlete.

Asian-American rock group, The Slants, are free and clear to trademark their name after a Supreme Court ruling in their favor.

The Slants had attempted to trademark their controversial name back in 2011, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shot them down based on the name being disparaging.

Monday, the Supreme Court said that law violates free speech, and therefore the trademark should be granted. It's a victory for the band, and potentially for the Washington Redskins ... whose trademark request was denied on the same grounds.

The Court's decision opens the door to a slew of arguably offensive language being trademarked.

Size matters on the Matterhorn ... especially when you're 6'11" like NBA star Anthony Davis.

The New Orleans Pelicans big man hit up Disneyland on Sunday and decided he wanted a ride on one of the oldest coasters in the park.

The problem ... leg room.

You can see in the pics, Davis went full knees-to-chest to fit in the bobsled -- and apparently, it worked. We're told he had a blast at the park.

Fun Fact: There's a secret basketball court tucked away inside the mountain. No word on if AD got to hoop in between rides.

Hold your breath, Clippers nation ... your franchise center, DeAndre Jordan, is going full Tony Hawk ... hitting the streets of L.A. on a skateboard and, although it's terrifying, he ain't half bad.

Jordan is 6'11" and 265 pounds but that didn't stop him from straight thrashing on video recently, getting a little help from some bystanders.

Here's the thing ... fun is great and all, but could you imagine the fallout if DJ fell? The Clippers need all the help they can get to lose to the Warriors next year.

Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield -- who got DESTROYED by cops when he drunkenly tried to run from police -- will not have to go to jail.

As we previously reported, the 2016 Heisman trophy finalist was arrested in Arkansas in Feb. after cops tried to confront him about an alleged violent altercation earlier in the evening ... but the QB went nuts and tried to flee the scene. He was form tackled by a cop who shoulda been a linebacker.

Officials tell TMZ Sports Mayfield cut a plea deal with prosecutors last week in which he pled guilty to public intoxication, disorderly conduct and fleeing ... and in exchange, they dropped the resisting arrest charge (the most serious charge).

His punishment -- Mayfield will have to pay $480 in fees and $483 in restitution. That's it.

It's a good deal considering he was facing several months behind bars if the judge wanted to throw the book at him.

How much does it cost to party with Rob Gronkowski for a night? More than most people make in a year ... 'cause Gronk and Co. racked up a HUGE $100k tab at a casino nightclub over the weekend.

TMZ Sports obtained the itemized receipt for Gronk and his 20-man party crew at Shrine at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut this weekend.

We spoke with a PR rep for the Shrine bar who says the receipt is legit. It's pretty awesome.

In total, Gronk's gang tore through 160 BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE including:

- 18 bottles of Ace of Spades Rose: $18,000

- 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose: $27,000

There's more ... including 16 bottles of Grey Goose for $10,400, 45 orders of Maker's Mark, 24 shots of Jim Beam Fire, 3 bottles of Don Julio 1942. These guys weren't messin' around.

It's unclear who footed the bill (most likely the casino) ... but it's not like Gronk can't afford it anyway -- dude's gonna make more than $4 mil next year.

It's good to be Gronk.

Here's Shareef O'Neal busting out some insane alley-oop dunks ... courtesy of rap superstar Quavo.

The Migos member lobbed up a pair of dimes for Reef before a pickup game on Friday -- and the 17-year-old threw it down hard both times, including a pretty sick reverse jam.

Quavo ain't half bad either -- in fact, the dude was a star athlete back in Georgia and balled out as the QB on his high school football team.

As for Reef, he's already committed to U of Arizona.

Sucks for ASU.

Brooks Koepka won his first major at the U.S. Open Sunday ... but it's his super hot model girlfriend who's the REAL winner.

Meet 28-year-old Jena Sims -- former Miss Georgia Teen USA -- who joined Koepka to receive his shiny Championship trophy after beating out stars like Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama.

She's also an aspiring model/actress who was in 'Sharknado' and an episode of "Entourage." And her social media photos are insane.

Here's hoping Koepka keeps winnin' majors ... 'cause we'd love to see some more of Sims.

Congrats!!

Ice Cube has a message for Conor and Floyd -- if you want the site, the money's gotta be right.

The rap icon -- who also runs the BIG3 basketball league -- appeared on "Undisputed" on FS1 Monday morning to address the standoff over the T-Mobile Arena.

As we previously reported, McGregor and Mayweather have been promoting their August 26 fight at the T-Mobile Arena. Problem is, Cube already had the venue booked for the BIG3 championship game.

But there's a solution -- cash.

Cube says he's absolutely willing to move if the MayMac people "do what they're supposed to do and make us happy."

Rob Gronkowski proved he's shaved from head to toe -- ripping off his shirt and partying with Flo Rida at Shrine at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut ... and we got the pics.

The New England Patriots TE showed with a party crew and went H.A.M. when Flo started performing -- doing his usual dancing, boozing, removing clothing thing.

Gronk and Flo have been friends for a while -- the rapper was a special guest on Gronk's legendary party cruise last off-season.

Per usual with Gronk, the guy goes on a party tear before the season begins ... and Tom Brady has previously said he doesn't care as long as the guy shows up ready to play when it counts.

L.A. Clippers star Austin Rivers was straight and to the point when we asked if he'd go to the White House to visit President Trump if he won the NBA championship.

"NOPE."

It's a question everyone's been asking the Golden State Warriors after coach Steve Kerr reportedly said the team wouldn't attend a celebration at 1600 Pennsylvania earlier in the season.

It's a pretty hot topic in sports and politics -- but Rivers' feelings on the topic are clear.

Hip hop mogul Master P says there ain't nothing wrong with LaVar Ball's hustle ... telling TMZ Sports he respects the man's game so much he's gonna buy a pair of those $500 ZO2s to support the cause.

P sat down with us and talked about what it's like to be the father of a basketball phenom -- his son, Hercy, is one of the best 8th graders in America -- and wanted his thoughts on LaVar's parenting.

Obviously, LaVar's gotten his fair share of controversy, but P's not on board with that, saying that he believes LaVar has a clear vision for his family, and is willing to support it with his substantial wallet.

First things first ... Latavius Murray says he's NOT replacing Adrian Peterson in Minnesota. You can't replace a legend.

That said, LM says if you get the chance to draft him in your fantasy league ... DO IT!!!!

The Vikings running back tells TMZ Sports he's fired up to get on the field with his new squad -- and promises to be your secret weapon when it comes to punishing your FF opponents.

"Draft me man ... 'cause I'm a guy that has a nose for the end zone and I'm gonna continue to do that and do all I can to put them points on the board!"

SOLD!

Floyd Mayweather HAS to dominate Conor McGregor or he'll be the laughingstock of professional boxing, so says Andre Berto, who told TMZ Sports ALL the pressure is on Mayweather.

We got Berto out in Beverly Hills and asked him if Conor had any shot in the superfight and while Berto wouldn't count McGregor (his friend) out, he told our guy Floyd has a lot on the line, like his legacy.

"Floyd has to embarrass this man to get any type of credit from me."

Berto went on to say the whole thing is a major victory for Conor win or lose, because if he manages to pull out a victory his whole life is set.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were just like the rest of us while sight-seeing in Paris ... oohing and ahhing at the City of Light ... hand-in-hand, of course.

J Lo and her man toured the French capital Sunday, acting like regular tourists -- posing in front of landmarks, riding a tour bus and eyeing street merch from local vendors.

They visited the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre Museum in what looked like a busy day. Crazy thing is ... it doesn't seem like people noticed 'em all that much. Gotta be nice to dodge being a celeb for a day to fully enjoy the views.

A-Rod and J Lo probably thinking ... oui.
