Bret 'The Hitman' Hart -- Zie Germans Stole My Jacket!
Wrestling legend Bret Hart claims he was robbed blind in Deutschland Thursday -- insisting his trademark shades and jacket vanished while he was in the ring ... and the WWE suspects German foul play.
Sources connected to the wrestler tell TMZ ... Hart removed his classic get-up before a match in Nuremberg -- standard wrestling procedure -- but when he got back to the locker room after the fight, his stuff hadn't been returned ... and no one knows where it went.
So far, no police report has been filed -- but a rep for the WWE confirms that the jacket/glasses combo did go missing ... and they're convinced it wasn't an inside job.
We're told both WWE and the Nuremberg arena are desperately trying to track down the perp ... who may or may not vaguely resemble the Fonz.

Kite Surfer Breaks Record ... then His Wrist
An attempt to break the world sailing record went wonderfully right -- and horribly wrong -- at the same time last month -- when one brave SOB ended up shattering the old mark ... and then his wrist.

At the end of Douglas' incredible run ... dude wiped out HARD ... and was dragged across the water like a rag doll.
We're told Douglas broke his wrist so badly it required "major surgery" -- involving titanium parts.
Small price to pay for a world record.

Reese tells TMZ, "We expect action swiftly, but it's in their hands now."
Favre could be punished if the NFL finds he violated its personal conduct policy by sending inappropriate messages to Sterger ... who was a NY Jets stadium reporter at the time.

Unto Carrie Prejean a child shall be born ... TMZ has confirmed.
Multiple sources tell TMZ the former Miss CA USA -- who legally opposite-sex married NFL QB Kyle Boller in July -- is now pregnant with the couple's first child. We are told she's a few months along.

Deion Sanders' Wife: I Won't Return to 'Football Wives'
Deion Sanders' wife Pilar is already telling her close friends that she absolutely will not return for another season of "Football Wives" ... despite the fact that Season One isn't even halfway over.
Sources close to the reality star tell us ... Pilar is sick of being "made to look like the villain" on the show and does not want to subject herself to another round of drama.
But that's not all Pilar is telling friends ... we're told she's unhappy with her castmates ... even telling one person, "Would they still call it "Football Wives" if their husbands aren't playing or aren't affiliated with the NFL any longer?"
We're guessing this won't be Pilar's last fling with reality TV -- word on the street is that she and Deion are shopping around a new show ... but so far, it's unclear what it will be about.

ESPN Blasted for Revealing Name of Rape Accuser
ESPN is being called out by the attorney for the woman accusing New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana of rape ... accusing the network of "irresponsible journalism" for revealing her identity.
The woman filed the civil lawsuit for sexual battery under the pseudonym Jane Doe -- but the judge ordered her on Monday to reveal her name. ESPN.com published a story about the case and used her name.
John Clune, the woman's attorney, just blasted ESPN, telling TMZ, "ESPN has now set a dangerous precedent in telling rape victims that this will be their punishment if they attempt to pursue accountability for their celebrity offenders."
Clune, who also repped Kobe Bryant's accuser back in 2003, went on to say, "Disappointingly, ESPN today chose to publicize the identity of a rape victim on their website, despite the obvious attempt by this woman to protect herself and her children from further unwarranted harassment and abuse in pursuing her only remaining avenue to hold Mr. Santana accountable."
ESPN has not yet returned our call.
The argument for making the woman's name public -- it's wrong to let people hide behind a veil of anonymity when they make accusations in civil lawsuits that can ruin someone's life.
So we ask:
