Calvin Johnson will NEVER play football again ... telling TMZ Sports his fingers are so jacked up, "I ain't trying to catch no more footballs."

We got the future NFL Hall of Famer out at LAX ... and -- since training camps kick off in a couple weeks -- we had to ask ... when are you coming back to the gridiron?!

Megatron laughed at the idea ... and bluntly said, never.

"I don't want to play."

In fact, one of the game's greatest of all time says it's an easy decision to make, 'cause his body HURTS.

So, what's Cal doing these days to stay busy??

Christian Yelich's mom knocked house hunting for her son out of the park ... 'cause she just helped the Milwaukee Brewers star score a $5.6 MILLION beach house in Malibu!!

Alecia Yelich repped her baby boy -- a 26-year-old outfielder -- in the house hunt ... and got $400,000 knocked off the original listing price of $6 mil ... and the house is sick.

It's a 2,500-square-foot pad -- listed by Cormac and Wailani O’Herlihy from Sotheby’s -- right on the beach off the Pacific Coast Highway in the 'Bu ... and features its own elevator, roof-top patio and wet bar.

Mallory Edens -- the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens -- tells TMZ Sports ... when Becky Hammon is hired as a head coach, pro sports in America will never be the same.

And she says that moment could be sooner than you think.

Edens, who's been around the NBA and writes about women in sports, says ladies are destined to have more voices at the top levels in major sports leagues ... and the hiring of Hammon will speed the process.

"I'd love to see a female commissioner one day. There are so many roles in the NBA that are yet to fill. I think even if we start to fill a few of them we'll start to see a positive change."

Edens also told us Hammon's reach could transcend basketball, and maybe make women in power positions more of a thing in sports in general.

In a step in the right direction, Hammon was promoted to lead assistant coach on the San Antonio Spurs.

And BTW ... Mallory won't just be on the sidelines, she told us multiple times she wants to follow in her dad's footsteps and own a team one day ... CONTROLLING ALL ASPECTS OF THE FRANCHISE.

"I think that I'd be all up in it, everyday."

Oh, and she said yes!!!

Baker Mayfield -- the hopeful future of the Cleveland Browns franchise -- just made some major life plans for the future by getting engaged to his girlfriend, Emily Wilkinson.

He made the announcement on IG, saying ... "Can't wait to do life with the most perfect girl ... I love you."

Baker and Emily were first spotted together in January -- shortly after his Rose Bowl loss -- happily taking in a Clippers game.

Then last month, Emily announced she was quitting her job in L.A. and following the Browns QB to Cleveland ... a sure sign things were getting serious.

Now it's official.

Here's Paul George telling TMZ Sports that L.A. is his spot, then name-dropping Kevin Durant instead of directly saying who the Lakers need to beat the Warriors.

... SO WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!

We got the NBA free agent leaving Catch in Weho Friday night and asked if we can expect more L.A. sightings of him (translation: is he coming to the Lakers?), but he wouldn't bite ... instead just telling us what we already know about him and L.A.

Paul did give us his ranking of the top 4 small forwards in the league, though -- no big surprises ... but Jimmy Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo might have something to say about it.

But all the mystery of this vid is overshadowed by the sad tale of our cameraman and his shoes ... check it out.

Floyd Mayweather has a brand new baby sister -- this according to a DNA test which shows the boxer's famous father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., is the daddy to a 1-year-old girl!

65-year-old Floyd Sr. -- who famously trained his son during his legendary career -- has been in a paternity dispute with a woman named Purisa Farris, who filed for child support earlier this year.

Now we've learned, as part of the case ... Floyd took a DNA test back in April which showed the probability of paternity is 99.99%.

In other words (Maury Povich voice) .... YOU ARE THE FATHER!!!

By the way, Floyd Sr. reportedly has at least 5 other children ... including 41-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The place where Wilt Chamberlain famously banged a large portion of his alleged 20,000 hookups is for sale ... and can be yours for a small fee of $18.99 MILLION!!

You know the story ... the NBA legend claimed the number of women he slept with was in the tens of thousands -- and the mansion that harbored his "sex room" and presumably the majority of those trysts has now hit the market.

Sadly ... most of the features that made it Wilt's -- mink-lined waterbed floors, mirror-covered walls and a golden bathtub -- have been remodeled.

But the place is still dope ... featuring six bedrooms, six bathrooms, 7,158 square feet ... and gated parking for 20-plus cars!!

Brett Favre's bringing pups to military veterans in need ... and so far, the results have been incredible -- 'cause the NFL legend tells TMZ Sports it's "saving" vets' lives.

The Hall of Famer created the 4 Outdoors program after retiring from football ... and while the plan is to use outdoor experiences to help people in need -- he's found the most success uniting vets with trained service dogs.

"We're connecting them with these dogs and it's saving their lives," Favre says. "It's really incredible."

The dogs aren't just cute as hell -- they're expensive ... coming in at around $50K to get them fully trained up -- and that's where Favre's come in to provide help.

So what now? Brett says it's pretty simple -- check in with the vets in a few months to see what more he can do to help.

"I really believe that we made a positive difference and a positive impact on their lives."

Dikembe Mutombo is a Georgetown basketball legend, and one of the biggest supporters of the Hoyas you could ever imagine, so you'd figure his HUGE son would be destined for bball in D.C.

Doesn't seem like it.

We got Mutombo out at LAX with his son 15-year-old Ryan Mutombo, who AT 6'9" is already making some noise on the prep basketball scene.

Our guy asked if Ryan would be interested in pairing up with LeBron James Jr. to make a second generation super-team, and Dikembe said yes, on one condition.

"They can go to Georgetown."

But, then we ask Ryan where he wants to go, and he didn't hesitate to stab Pops in his long-ass back with two words ... "North Carolina."

Dikembe's response? HE DROPPED THE FINGER WAG AT HIS OWN KID!!!

Bob Baffert is revealing the reward for a horse that won him his second triple crown in four years earlier this month ... and it involves fornication.

Lots of it.

We got the legendary horse trainer leaving Craig's this weekend, and he told us, now that Justify has joined American Pharoah in making him a very rich man ... it'll be nothing but females for the race horse from here.

"He's going to have a lot of girlfriends," Baffert says.

"Hundreds and thousands of them."

Don't get it twisted ... as rewarding as it is for Justify to do nothing but have sex all day -- Baffert's gonna make some serious coin off of it.

It reportedly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for drops of American Pharoah's man juices after his triple crown in 2015 ... and, as you can imagine, that price tag will only go up for Justify -- an animal Baffert calls the LeBron of horse racing.

Allen Crabbe is a new hero in L.A. ... 'cause the NBA star just forked over enough cash to save an entire high school!!

Frederick K.C. Price III Christian School in south Los Angeles was set to shut its doors for good this week after it lost the backing from a local church -- until the Brooklyn Nets star caught wind of it.

Crabbe -- who attended the prestigious inner-city school from the time he was in diapers to when he graduated some 18 years later -- agreed to supply the funding to keep the school ticking.

Unclear how much he actually kicked in for the cause ... but sources tell TMZ Sports it was a substantial 6-figure check.

“I was at that school practically my whole life,” Allen says. “I’m just happy and feel blessed to be in a position now to do this.”

Thanks to Crabbe ... 175 kids don't have to find a new school next year -- and school officials are calling it a "miracle."

There's no way in hell Conor McGregor is broke RIGHT NOW -- but he could be the next Mike Tyson (in a bad way) if he doesn't tighten up his wallet quick ... so says Tyron Woodley.

On this week's "Hollywood Beatdown," the UFC champ straight-up called BS on Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager, who says Conor NEEDS to fight Khabib because he's running low on cash.

Tyron says it would be nearly impossible to blow through $100 MILLION this quickly -- but ten years from now? That's a real concern since it's happened to guys like Tyson, Antoine Walker and Nic Cage.

There's more ... Tyron also gives HUGE PROPS to Nipsey Hussle for the pimp slap heard 'round the world at the BET Awards -- and rips Nate Diaz for fighting in the crowd at an MMA event.

'WWE Tough Enough 3' winner Matt Cappotelli -- who bravely fought through two rounds of cancer -- has passed away ... this according to his wife.

"Today my love-my strong, sweet, beautiful love-took his last breath at 3:30 a.m. and went Home to be with Jesus exactly one year after his brain surgery," Lindsay Cappotelli wrote in a statement.

"You think you can be prepared for this when you know it’s coming, but you just can’t."

"The only person who’s comfort I want right now is the one who can’t give it to me. I miss him so much. I know where he is now is so much better, but it doesn’t change how much I miss him."

Back in June 2017, TMZ Sports reported on Matt's second surgery to remove a brain tumor -- over 10 years after he had one removed and had his pro wrestling career cut short.

But, in December, things took a turn for the worse ... doctors say he had a Grade 4 tumor that could not be operated on because it was too close to his brain stem.

Cappotelli fought like hell and will definitely be remembered as a warrior inside and out of the ring.

NFL lineman Roy Miller -- a 6'2", 315 lb. defensive tackle -- got so pissed off at his wife, he chased her into her SUV and then ripped off the door handle ... according to court docs.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars player has been at war with his estranged wife for months -- she filed for divorce after 30-year-old Miller was arrested for a previous domestic violence incident.

She's also claimed he's a violent alcoholic.

Now, Nicole Miller says Roy got violent again on June 26 during a dispute over custody over their children.

Nicole says she grabbed her son and put him in her SUV to leave -- but Roy chased after "and in a rage ripped my rear driver side handle off the vehicle."

She also claims he hit the car twice as she drove off.

"I don't believe he is stable," Nicole wrote in court docs ... "I am afraid he will do something even more damaging to myself or the kids."

Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham will be suspended 1 game for allegedly punching a hotel worker back in July of 2016.

We broke the story ... the Philadelphia star was arrested in Florida and charged with a felony after allegedly socking a Hilton employee in the face 'cause he took too long to set up a beach umbrella.

The criminal charge was eventually dropped after Bradham cut a deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to throw out the case if he kept his nose clean for 6 months. He did -- and the case was closed this past January.

"I would like to apologize to my fans, coaches, teammates and the entire eagles organization for the 1 game suspension," Bradham wrote in a statement.

The Uber driver who claims Jameis Winston sexually assaulted her during a 2016 ride says she's "glad" the NFL took action against Winston ... but says the QB's apology "needs work."

The woman -- Kate -- issued a statement to BuzzFeed reporter Talal Anari, who first reported her story in a Nov. 2017 article.

"I am glad to see the NFL discipline Jameis Winston," Kate said ... "I do appreciate his apology, even if it needs some work."

"I would like to publicly acknowledge the NFL investigators, particularly Lisa Friel and John Iannarelli, for their kind, professional and thorough investigation."

"My experience should highlight the importance of believing women when they have the courage to come forward about sexual assault. Perhaps that night could have been prevented if others had been believed before me."

"Mr. Winston once said, 'Girls should be silent, polite, and gentle.' I disagree. #MeToo."
