Wisconsin State Patrol tells us Kendricks was not actually cited for marijuana during the stop. WSP says marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia charges have been "referred to the Outagamie County DA’s Office" who will decide whether to charge Kendricks.

Cops tell us they confiscated weed from LK's vehicle, however, he left the scene without a citation.

Green Bay Packers tight end Lance Kendricks was cited for having weed in his car back in September after getting pulled over for speeding ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's what we know ... Kendricks was clocked going 81 in a 70 mph zone when he was on his way home from the Wisconsin Badgers football game on Sept. 2. According to the police report, the cop "could smell a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle."

Cops say Kendricks apologized for the smell ... and after initially denying there were any drugs in the car, he later 'fessed up to having weed in the glove box.

Cops say they say also found a Louis Vuitton bag with a black glass container with a "green leafy substance," 2 packs of rolling papers, and a blue grinder.

Kendricks is facing 2 charges for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and was given a warning for speeding. The case is now in the hands of the Outagamie County District Attorney.

He isn't the first Packers player to have legal trouble fly under the radar ... running back Aaron Jones was arrested on October 1, which wasn't reported until this week.

Donald Trump took a break Friday and went from his vacation home at Mar-a-Lago to Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida to play a few rounds with none other than Tiger Woods.

Trump and Woods were joined by Dustin Johnson, the number 1 ranked golfer in the world.

Trump and Tiger have history ... they've golfed together in the past. The last time they hit the links was just before last XMAS.

BTW ... Tiger is bipartisan on the green ... he's also golfed with Obama.

Oscar Pistorius just got the book thrown at him because South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal more than doubled his sentence.

Pistorius had originally been sentenced to 6 years in prison for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The Appeals Court just upped the sentence to 15 years ... agreeing with prosecutors that the 6 year sentence was shockingly lenient.

Under South African law, the recommended minimum sentence for murder is 15 years.

Before Bre Tiesi said "yes" to Johnny Manziel ... she was engaged to another man -- and the backstory involves everything from money to diamonds to the FBI.

Bre's ex-fiance is Chris Anzalone -- who was a BALLER in Southern California until he was arrested and convicted for running a $16 million investment fraud scheme.

But before he was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, Anzalone showered Bre in riches -- including cars, designer purses, Rolex watches and a 10-carat diamond engagement ring.

Their relationship went sour when Chris was locked up -- and Anzalone claims Bre embezzled more than $1.3 MILLION in cash and expensive property.

Chris has lawyered up and demanded his stuff back -- but there's one problem ... Bre says he's lying and she doesn't have it anymore.

TMZ Sports spoke with Bre's attorney who says Tiesi met with FBI agents and surrendered every item she was asked to give up ... items the feds claim she received from Anzalone's ill-gotten fortune.

Bre says none of it was embezzled -- everything she had was given to her as a gift.

Bre's lawyers also provided documents to TMZ Sports showing a list of the surrendered items which include Louis Vuitton backpacks, designer luggage, watches and rings.

Bre's attorneys say Anzalone also accused Tiesi of letting Manziel propose to her with the ring HE used back in the day. But Bre's team provided receipts showing Johnny's ring was purchased in February.

Anzalone has fired off legal letters to Bre's team threatening a lawsuit. Bre's lawyers deny any wrongdoing and have this message for Anzalone ... BRING IT ON.

Guess Bre has a thing for bad boys ...

Archie Griffin. Eddie George. Orlando Pace. Ezekiel Elliott. Cris Carter. Maurice Clarett ... some of the greatest Ohio State football players of all time.

But does J.T. Barrett belong in that group??? Hell yes, according to Eddie George.

Barrett has set all sorts of records at OSU during his 4 years as the Buckeyes QB -- including most career TDS, most career passing yards, most TDs in a season and most career offensive yards.

He also has the highest QB passing efficiency rating in BIG10 history, according to Sports-Reference.com.

Eddie tells TMZ Sports why J.T. definitely belongs in the All Time OSU Top 5.

Sergey Kovalev says God saved him from a potentially deadly accident -- and now, he's vowing to show fans the "real Krusher" in his return fight this weekend.

"I said very big thanks to the God for save my life," Sergey told TMZ Sports. "I still healthy, and now he gave me opportunity again."

FYI, the boxing star recently revealed he got into a crazy car accident in Russia after his back-to-back losses to Andre Ward -- skidding into a dense forest off a 2-lane highway ... but miraculously avoiding direct impact with any trees.

Kovalev told us that close call led him to a monastery in Greece -- where he got clean in the body and mind, and got over his gut-wrenching defeats at the hands of Ward.

T.J. Dillashaw wants to fight Demetrious Johnson so bad, he's stepping his trash-talk game up to Nick Diaz levels to put the UFC pound-for-pound king on notice.

"Don't be scared ... man up, let's do it," T.J. told TMZ Sports out in L.A.

Dillashaw's been chasing Mighty Mouse the whole year -- and says DJ's time at the top is almost up since that's the only fight he wants.

The UFC bantamweight champ told us Mighty Mouse should be pumped for the scrap too -- 'cause he'd actually be able to sell tickets for once!! (Burn.)

As for how the fight would go ... T.J. told us it "definitely" could be LIGHTS OUT for Demetrious.

Race shouldn't matter in horse racing ... so says horse owner Jason Derulo who says it would be great to hire a black jockey ... but his priority is hiring a winner.

Derulo recently became a part-owner of an Australian thoroughbred and made it clear he's looking to rack up some W's on the track.

We raised the point that there hasn't been a black jockey in the winner's circle of the Kentucky Derby in 100 years ... and asked if Jason was looking to change that.

But he hit us with some real talk ... it's not about breaking racial barriers, it's about winning -- and if the best jockey happens to black -- great! He'll hire him in a second.

Tristan Thompson celebrated the Cleveland Cavs big win over Brooklyn Nets Wednesday night by taking it back pre-Khloe ... when he was a single dude.

Tristan and teammate Jae Crowder hit up Cleveland hot spot Magnolia nightclub at 2am. Rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR was also there but laying low until Tristan blew his cover.

The guy onstage at the time, rapper Choochie Flvco, didn't seem to mind the Canadian rapper taking over with "Recognize," which Tristan told everyone was one of his faves pre-Khloe.

The Ohio State football team will honor former college superstar Terry Glenn with custom helmet decals when the Buckeyes face off against big-time rival Michigan this weekend.

Glenn -- who died in a car accident in Texas on Monday at age 43 -- was an All-American receiver for the Bucks ... and won the Biletnikoff Award (given to college football's best receiver) in 1995.

Terry Glenn, Jr. revealed the design on social media, saying "How awesome. Much love to all the Buckeyes out there."

So be honest ... what caught your eye first ... Serena Williams' ridiculously cute baby, or her ridiculously big wedding ring?

Serena posted this pic of daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. with the caption, "Daddy knows how much I love leopard print."

We're glad Serena posted the pic ... it gives us an excuse to re-post the wedding pics, which are some of the best in 2017.

As for our question ... we'll give you a pass and say you first noticed the baby.

Ex-Lakers head coach Byron Scott has two words for LaVar Ball -- SHUT UP!!!!

Ball recently laid into Lakers coach Luke Walton ... saying he's "soft" and doesn't know how to properly coach his son, Lonzo Ball.

So, we hit up Byron to see how he would handle the situation if he was in Luke's shoes. Long story short, Byron says guys like LaVar need to shut their traps and let the coaches coach.

"Shut up. Stay put. Stay on the sidelines. We got this."

BTW, Scott's hosting a live music event in Hollywood Friday night ... that LaVar Ball will probably not be attending.

Master P says LaVar Ball is dead wrong for not thanking Donald Trump ​... Telling TMZ Sports he believes POTUS did help get the 3 UCLA players out of jail, and thanking him is the Christian thing to do.

Ball has refused to thank Trump despite the fact his son LiAngelo and the other UCLA players did, sparking a full-scale war of words between the Big Baller and #45.

We got P at LAX and asked him about the whole fiasco, and he couldn't have been any clearer, saying he believes in God and that means he believes in showing gratitude, even to Trump.

"I put God first, so I think that if somebody help you ... that you be appreciative, that's it."

For the record, we doubt LaVar will ever say "Thanks" to Trump, but we're pretty sure he's gonna have some words for P pretty soon.

One of Josh Gordon's ex-teammates says the troubled NFL star is on track for a HUGE comeback ... telling TMZ Sports he knows the Browns receiver is as focused as ever on football.

We spoke with N.Y. Jets star Buster Skrine -- he played with Gordon on the Browns -- who says he's pulling for his old friend to put his past behind him and ball out on the field.

"I asked him to come to New York (this summer), he was down in Florida training. He was like, 'Man, I'm focused. Blase, blase,' so I knew it was a complete turnaround for him," Skrine says.

And get this -- Skrine was out donating 250 turkeys and 200 pounds of veggies for Thanksgiving with his foundation when we ran into him.

There's no need to worry about who's bringing the stuffing this Thanksgiving... chow down on these photos of NBA players dishing out some serious blocks.

Kobe Bryant ... in the ballroom?? Maybe.

With "Dancing with the Stars" doing a full sports-themed competition with athletes next season, Derek Fisher told TooFab.com "Kobe's name keeps coming up."

"He loves the show. He and the family watch it," Fisher said ... "[Producers] should at least try and call him!"

Fisher competed on the show this season and loved it -- despite being the 3rd couple eliminated.

Athletes tend to kill it on the show -- with NFL stars like Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward, Donald Driver and Rashad Jennings all winning dancing championships.
