TMZ Sports has obtained the 911 call made regarding Elden Campbell's death ... with a man telling the operator he spotted something washed up on the shore that "looks like a human body."

In the audio, the caller sounded confused about what he initially saw on the beach on December 1 ... but after zooming in on his camera, he told the operator, "It looks like a dead person on the floor."

When police arrived, we were told they found Campbell's body alongside a jet ski on the beach around 8 PM ... and he was pronounced dead at 8:03 PM.

Mark Sanchez has barely uttered a peep since he was stabbed in Indianapolis, leaving him fighting for his life and facing serious criminal charges ... until Friday, when the retired QB wrote a heartfelt tribute to his family.

"This time of year always makes me look around and appreciate what matters, but this one hits different," 39-year-old Sanchez wrote. "I’m just grateful—to wake up, to be home, and to be able to wrap my arms around my wife and kids."

Sherman criticized Pickens for seeming "uninterested" and giving a "half-assed" performance in CeeDee Lamb's absence after the loss to the Detroit Lions ... something, he said, simply can't happen if No. 3 wants to be the best in the NFL.

Taylor Swift can leave a "Blank Space" on a check all she wants, but she still wouldn't be able to buy her perfect wedding date from another couple at her fave venue ... so says the venue itself.

According to the report, Taylor unzipped her wallet and dropped a bag to claw back her chosen date ... because money can't buy you love, but it might buy you a lovely, romantic venue.

The moment at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto was like a movie -- the Lakers and Raptors were tied at 120 apiece in the closing seconds of the contest ... and with just eight points and the ball in his hands, LeBron elected to cough up the rock instead of attempting to both play the hero and keep his insane run alive.

The Texas A&M student who was found dead after the school's football game against the University of Texas died by suicide ... according to the Austin Police Department.

Remember ... Brianna Aguilera -- a 19-year-old student at the university -- was found outside a campus apartment complex around 1 AM Saturday, hours after A&M's 27-17 Friday night loss against rival Texas.

Detective Robert Marshall of APD says she was found with trauma from an apparent fall from a high floor. Cameras showed Brianna arriving at the apartment building around 11 PM Friday before heading up to a 17th-floor apartment.

A college basketball player got brutally posterized in the middle of a game on Wednesday ... and apparently decided to get even by punching his opponent in a crazy scene.

It went down at the Leavey Center with just over a minute left in the Utah Tech Trailblazers vs. Santa Clara Broncos contest ... when SC's Allen Graves threw down a one-handed dunk.

What made the dunk even crazier is that Graves did it right over UT's Chase Trujillo, who tried -- and epically failed -- to block it. Let's just say Trujillo didn't seem thrilled that Graves made a highlight at his expense.

PVZ wore a shirt on top of the bikini ... but pulled it up so it basically only kept her shoulders warm instead of providing any sort of adequate coverage. It especially didn't cover her when she leaned forward as she did in this picture.
