Kellen Winslow Bail Set At $2 Mil Still Facing Life In Prison
3:50 PM PT -- There was a bombshell moment in court when prosecutors added 2 new rape charges stemming from an alleged incident in 2003 where Kellen -- 19 years old at the time -- was accused of forcibly raping a 17 year old unconscious girl.
"When there is a rape that occurs and the victim is under the age of 18 years old, there is no statutory time (limit) to when that can be charged. That's exactly what we have here."
Kellen Winslow's rape case is now set to go to trial -- he faces life in prison -- and today the judge finally set bail at $2 million.
Thursday's hearing was a win of sorts for the former NFL tight end who's been locked up ever since he was arrested on June 14 on suspicion of raping 2 women in the San Diego area.
Now, Winslow can post bail and leave jail. A trial date has not yet been set.
As TMZ Sports previously reported ... Winslow was initially hit with nine criminal charges after prosecutors say he picked up 2 hitchhiking transients, drove them to an isolated location and raped them.
Prosecutors also say Winslow entered a mobile home park on two occasions with the intent of raping elderly women.
He was previously charged with 2 counts of residential burglary -- but those have now been thrown out.
For his part, Winslow has pled not guilty to all charges.

LeSean McCoy Called Cops On GF In 2017 ... Over Jewelry Dispute
LeSean McCoy called police on Delicia Cordon in July 2017 after an argument over jewelry -- with the NFL star claiming she refused to return several high-end items she had borrowed.
It's all in police reports obtained by TMZ Sports ... which show cops responded to at least 3 incidents at their Georgia home over the past year.
But the most interesting incident took place on July 3, 2017 -- when the NFL star called the Milton Police Dept. to the home after a "domestic dispute" with Cordon.
When cops arrived, they saw McCoy standing in front of a large mound of D's clothes -- and he explained that they had been having issues and had broken up after she accused him of cheating on her.
Then McCoy brought up the issue of jewelry. Here's the quote from the police incident report.
"He went on to advise us that jewelers often times loan them high end jewelry items to wear for events. He stated that Cordon had some of these jewelry items and had not returned them."
"He stated that he has asked her multiple times for them but she has not yet returned them."
According to the police report, McCoy expressed serious concern that Cordon might make false accusations about him.
"He stated that he was trying to be very careful about being around her given the climate of domestic abuse in his profession."
Cops eventually spoke to Cordon. At the time, neither party made any allegations of physical abuse.
The case could be relevant since Cordon claims the assailant who broke into her home and pistol whipped her on July 10, 2018 demanded specific items of jewelry. Cordon told police she believed McCoy was behind the attack.
As for the 2 other police calls to the house, Cordon called cops over a heated argument with McCoy on April 11. And again on June 1, when McCoy's mother came to the home with a crew of people to try to remove property from the house without Cordon's consent.

Spud Webb Dominates Blackjack Tourney ... Donates $5k to Charity
Spud Webb wiped the casino floor with a bunch of sports stars in a blackjack tourney Wednesday night -- but the best part ... all of his winnings are going to charity.
The ex-NBA star took on guys like Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Ron Harper and Dr. J at the grand opening of the Live! Casino and Hotel in Maryland.
Webb was the last (and shortest) man standing when all the cards fell ... winning the $5,000 grand prize, which he donated to the Boys & Girls Club.
The whole thing was pretty cool ... and Dr. J even roasted his pal, Ron Harper, with a funny golf story.
Also ... and this is important (looking at you, Charles Oakley) ... no one was arrested for trying to change their bet after losing a hand.

The Alpharetta Police Dept. just released more info about the incident -- including the description of the suspect ... a black man wearing a mask and dressed in all black.
According to the report, the caller (Delicia Cordon), told police ... she "thinks her ex boyfriend poss set her up."
She also notes that a window was open in her son's room, "and a sheet is tied like some went out from the 2nd floor."
Cordon advised police that her neighbor has surveillance cameras.
As we previously reported, Cordon has lawyered up and is strongly insinuating McCoy had a role in the attack.
Cordon was hospitalized with injuries to her face and arm after she claims the assailant pistol whipped her and demanded jewelry she had previously received from LeSean.
So far, no arrests have been made.
For his part, McCoy has denied any involvement in the incident.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Jones was attacked by a guy who works at the Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday night. He successfully defended himself and knocked his attacker out, hard!
JULY 2018
At the time, it seemed Jones may have taken some damage in the fight -- but during a workout session on Thursday morning, it didn't seem like he was touched at all.

Johnny Bananas Body Slammed ... By NFL's Pouncey Twins
The greatest competitor in the history of "The Challenge" ain't playin' real football anytime soon ... 'cause the dude was straight-up ROCKED by the NFL's Maurkice and Mike Pouncey on Thursday!!
Unclear why Johnny Bananas was in Boca Raton, Florida training with NFLers Mark Ingram, Carl Lawson and the Pouncey twins ... but, the MTV show's star openly accepted the invitation for the beatdown when it all went down.
Egged on by Ingram ... Bananas tried pass rushing on the Pounceys -- who are anchors on the Steelers' and Chargers' O-lines -- and the reps didn't go well for Johnny.
J.B. was thrown to the turf a couple times ... and, at one point -- he was run from the field to the wall by Mike!!
Bananas wasn't better in pass pro either ... getting blown up when trying to block Bengals stud Lawson.
J.B.'s probably best to stick with competing against dudes his own size on his reality TV show -- new season premiered Tuesday night.
12:15 PM PT -- We're told the workout with the players was part of a show Bananas is shooting for NBC.

Cardinals GM Steve Keim The DUI Arrest Video ... 'I Only Had 2 Beers'
Here's the police body cam footage of Arizona Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim -- who told cops he only had 2 beers on July 4 ... but, refused to take a breathalyzer test.
Keim was pulled over in Chandler, Arizona after cops said he was swerving in his truck and almost hit a curb while making a turn.
During the stop, Keim told cops he only had 2 beers that evening -- along with some pizza.
The cops weren't convinced he was sober.
Keim told the officers he couldn't do any walking sobriety tests due to a messed up knee -- so, cops made him do the "follow my pen with your eye" test instead. He bombed that.
When cops asked him to take a breathalyzer, he refused ... telling the officer, "Nah. I'm not gonna do that."
Didn't matter ... he was arrested for DUI. Keim was cited and released a few hours later.

Heat's Dion Waiters 'East Is Wide Open' ... Now That LeBron's Out!
Miami Heat star Dion Waiters says his squad is a serious contender to win the NBA's Eastern Conference next season now that LeBron James is gone ... telling TMZ Sports, "We coming!"
"This year, the East is wide open," Waiters says ... "So, why not us?!"
Speaking of LeBron, Waiters played on the Cavs back before LeBron returned for his 2nd stint in Cleveland ... so we asked if he had any advice for the new LeBron-less Cleveland team.
"Man up!!! You know, it's a great opportunity for some of the young guys to go out and try to prove themselves. This is the opportunity you look forward to!"
And with young talent like Cedi Osman and Collin Sexton burning up the NBA summer league -- they should take Dion's advice to heart.

LeBron James Power Dinner with Leo DiCaprio ... and Al Pacino
Imagine you're the server assigned to this table ... LeBron James, Al Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio -- who gets to order first?!
That was the situation at Avra Beverly Hills on Wednesday night -- where the newest L.A. Lakers star broke bread with two of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
And, get this ... it seems Leonardo DiCaprio tried to run interference for Al and Bron -- because after the meal, Leo went out the front while the other two guys went out the back!
Of course, Leo is a massive Lakers fan who's been a regular at Staples Center over the years -- maybe Pacino is a fan of "Trainwreck"?
BTW -- LeBron's business partner, Maverick Carter, was also there (in the jean jacket) ... so yeah, this dinner was more business than pleasure.
No word on who paid (or expensed) the bill.
It's Bron's second big celebrity dinner since he's come to town -- he had sushi with Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson earlier this week.
Still hasn't dined with his Lakers teammates yet ...

TMZ Sports has learned ... the ex-NBA star was arrested at the Cosmopolitan on July 8 after allegedly trying to pull a fast one during a gambling session -- and it was all caught on video.
Officials from the Nevada Gaming Board tell us Oakley "was suspected of adding to or reducing his wager on a gambling game after the outcome was known."
Unclear what game he was playing at the time -- but one source with knowledge of the incident says Oak tried to pull back a $100 chip after he realized he was going to lose.
FYI, Oakley reportedly made more than $46 mil during his NBA career.
Oak was confronted about the incident -- and it was kicked over to a security team which reviewed the casino video footage ... confirming the alleged cheating.
The 54-year-old was taken into custody at 5:30 PM and booked into Clark County Detention Center.
Oak's gambling charge is serious business -- "to commit or attempt to commit a fraudulent act in a gaming establishment." He faces between 1 to 6 years in prison if convicted.

Drew Brees Kids Get SonBurned ... Trying To Cover Golden Tate
SonBurned: When a man or woman is forced to watch their offspring (in this case, sons) get ruthlessly burned on the football field by an elite NFL WR who's taking no prisoners.
Drew Brees' kids should now know this definition well, having been ruthlessly destroyed by Lions WR Golden Tate while trying to guard him one-on-one with no safety help.
The life lesson went down at Santa Fe Christian High School where Brees was working out alongside other NFL guys like Tate, Darren Sproles and Michael Thomas.
At some point it was time for the kids to get in on the action, and the resulting carnage was caught on video as both Brees kids get turned around like J Lo walked by.
Might be time to teach them the other side of the ball, Drew ... it worked for you, after all.

Papa John's Founder Quits U. of Louisville Board After Using N-Word in Meeting

7/12 -- Schnatter has now also resigned as chairman of Papa John's International.
Papa John's founder John Schnatter is quitting his post at the University of Louisville after he was called out for using the n-word during a meeting to, ironically, discuss his comeback from a different controversy.
Schnatter resigned from the University's Board of Trustees Wednesday hours after the NAACP called for him to step down ... on the heels of Schnatter confirming reports he dropped the racial epithet back in May. The pizza mogul was on a conference call with a marketing agency he'd hired to help him deal with the blowback he faced for criticizing the NFL's national anthem policy.
Forbes reported Schnatter questioned why he was being criticized, because "Colonel Sanders called blacks n***ers" and got away with it. He also reportedly spoke nonchalantly about growing up in Indiana where black people were dragged to death.
The University of Louisville said it doesn't condone racism ... but added it doesn't think Schnatter's comments "reflect his personal beliefs or values."
Schnatter is a major booster at Louisville. His company's HQ is there, and the University's football team plays in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.

Errol Spence Jr. Breaks Down Pacman's Brawl ... Offers Advice
Errol Spence Jr. -- one of the top boxers in the world -- has a tip for Pacman Jones the next time a dude runs up on him ... stop lunging so much!!
We got Spence out at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles and showed him the tape of Pacman's airport brawl ... and Errol provided analysis and a message to the NFL cornerback to take into his next bout.
JULY 2018
First ... the boxer gives Jones props for the "mean right" that put the ABM employee, who police say instigated the fight, to sleep.
Next -- Errol commends Jones for handling business in an airport with no preparation.
But then, Spence keeps it real ... saying Jones needs to stop with the lunging punches -- otherwise HE might be the one takin' mugshots in a hospital bed after the fight.
"If the dude could really fight, he probably would have caught Pacman with a shot -- step back and hit him with a straight right or something like that."
All in all, though ... Errol's good with Jones' performance.
As for the instigator -- Spence didn't have much to offer there, saying, "It's a bad look. That's a major L."
