A fight broke out at a media event for a fight ... with Mike Tyson caught in the middle ... but this time, the legendary boxer wasn't escalating the situation, he was trying to quash it.

TMZ Sports obtained footage of Tyson promoting an event called "Friday Fight Nights" in Minnesota on Thursday ... when two of the young boxers started going at it right on the stage.

It started to feel like shades of the infamous Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis media event back in 2002, when they started brawling at a news conference.

But this time, Tyson got right in between the two guys -- who were pushing and cussing at each other -- and eventually broke the whole thing up.

Who'da thunk?

If at first you don't succeed ... try, try again ... and again ... and again -- just like Michael Jordan is desperately doing with his Chicago mansion that no one on earth wants to buy.

Jordan has re-listed the 7 acre estate for $16 million ... after it failed to sell at a recent auction, where the minimum bid was $13 million (yeah, we don't get the strategy either).

Of course, MJ initially tried to sell the house back in 2012 for $29 mil ... but slashed the price to $21 mil when no one bit ... then reduced it to $13 mil for the auction ... then called off the auction when no one placed a bid.

The Music City Miracle -- one of the most famous plays in NFL history -- wasn't drawn up for Kevin Dyson ... it was supposed to go to Derrick Mason, but something happened that day that forced the Titans to change plans at the last minute.

TMZ Sports spoke with Mason at a Prime Sports event at the Rose Bowl ... and the former wide receiver dropped some interesting info about the legendary lateral pass from Frank Wycheck to Dyson in the 2000 AFC Wild Card game against the Bills.

Mason says the team used to practice the play every single week ... and he was the main target.

So, why wasn't Derrick on the field when the play was called that day? Let's just say it was all in his head. Check out the clip.

Dwyane Wade's baby explanation seems to be blowing up in his face ... all thanks to Gabrielle Union's Instagram account, which could prove they weren't really "on a break" when he knocked up another woman.

Plus, a real-life "Jerry Maguire" situation is unfolding with Teddy Bridgewater ... with sports agents scrambling so hard to sign the top NFL prospect, they're driving his mom crazy!

The race to sign Teddy Bridgewater IS ON ... with dozens of agents so desperate to get in touch with the NFL prospect, they're hammering his MOTHER with phone calls -- and it's starting to piss her off.

TMZ Sports spoke with Teddy's mom, Rose, who tells us ... ever since the Louisvlle QB announced his plans to leave college and head to the NFL this week, her phone's been ringing off the hook.

"The agents won't stop," Rose says ... "They won't take no for an answer."

"I ask them, 'What do you expect me to do? Call my son and tell him to sign with you?'"

For the record, Teddy is projected to be a high 1st round pick ... so it's no shock that every agency in town wants a piece of the 21-year-old phenom.

Rose says Teddy has not picked an agent yet ... but it's not going to be a knee-jerk decision -- he's going to put a lot of thought into who he selects.

When we asked Rose if she's excited about her son's impending NFL payday, she gave us one of the greatest answers we've ever heard -- "That's money he earned. I've never touched a football. I've never been tackled. I just want him to be a productive citizen."

Rose -- who raised Teddy and his 3 siblings by herself and then went on to battle breast cancer -- tells us she's incredibly proud of her son and can't wait to watch him play in the NFL.

Rose also says she's not rooting for one particular team to pick Teddy ... but she does hope he goes to a city with warm weather.

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Erin Henderson isn't starting the New Year off too well -- he was just arrested for his second DWI in two months ... after allegedly plowing his car through a bunch of trees.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports, Henderson was popped on New Year's Day near Eden Prairie, MN after police received a call about a single-vehicle crash.

According to law enforcement, Henderson had been driving erratically and speeding when he lost control of his black SUV, skidded over the centerline through a grassy area, through a parking lot, before colliding with several trees. The front and sides of the vehicle were heavily damaged, but Henderson was not injured.

When police showed up on the scene, we're told officers suspected he was under the influence (Erin's breath allegedly smelled like booze and his eyes were blood shot). Police then administered a field sobriety test, which Henderson bombed.

According to the booking report, Henderson was placed under arrest and booked on 4 charges, including DWI. He has just been released on $12,000 bail.

Henderson was previously arrested on suspicion of DWI in November in the same area.

Oklahoma State basketball star Stevie Clark was arrested on New Year's Day ... and according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports, he was rolling a blunt when he was busted.

The 19-year-old -- who's a freshman guard for the Cowboys -- was a passenger in a Toyota Camry that was pulled over around 10AM on January 1 after a cop says he spotted Clark not wearing a seatbelt.

During the stop, the officer says he saw "small pieces of marijuana on Clark's shorts and on the seat between his legs."

According to the report, the cop says he asked Clark how much weed he had in the car ... but Clark was speechless and only shook his head "no."

Eventually, the cop says Clark handed him a half-filled marijuana blunt.

The cop says the driver tried to take the rap ... saying the weed was his and he didn't want Clark to get in trouble.

According to the report, the driver also said he was taking Clark to practice at the time of the incident.

Screw the normies ... 'cause after Johnny Manziel led Texas A&M to a victory in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, he flew to Miami to party with his super-famous BFF Drake.

Manziel -- who likely played his last college football game on Tuesday -- said he needed a "little vaca" following the game ... and jetted over to Miami to meet up with the rapper.

Once he arrived, Drake, Johnny and OB O’Brien posed for a photo together, each flashing the "show me the money" sign.

Damon Wayans Jr. is breaking his silence about the mother of his children giving birth to Dwyane Wade's baby -- telling TMZ Sports he doesn't want his daughters to "get hurt in any of this."

We broke the story ... Wade's new baby mama is Aja Metoyer, who already has two children with "New Girl" star Damon Wayans Jr. (Wade claims he and fiancee Gabrielle Union were on a break when the child was conceived).

Now, Damon tells TMZ Sports, "I really have nothing to do with Aja's situation. We both live completely separate lives, aside from co-parenting."

He continues, "My concern are my daughters and that they don't get hurt in any of this."

Despite the fact he may have cheated on her .. and that he just had a child with another woman ... Gabrielle Union made it clear this week she's STICKING WITH Dwyane Wade.

Wade and Union spend New Year's Eve together -- and even posted a photo together, showing Gabby hanging on Wade's arm, while flashing her new $1 million engagement ring.

Wade included a caption that says, "Brought the NewYrs in with my beautiful fiancé and great friends...2013 was filled with ups and downs...without them u can't grow. So I'm better now becuz of them. 2014 I'm ready...#UnionWade."

Florida State QB Jameis Winston could be the next Archie Griffin ... so says Archie Griffin, who tells TMZ Sports he strongly believes JW could be the second man in history to win the Heisman TWICE.

Of course, Griffin -- perhaps the greatest Ohio State football player of all time -- is the only man to hoist the trophy in 2 separate years ... and when AG arrived at LAX for the Rose Bowl, he spelled out why Jameis is the next great double-Heisman hope.

Archie (super nice guy BTW) also told us why he thinks college football players have it harder now then they did back in the '70s.

Plus, he picks a Super Bowl winner ... though he might be a little bias.

Skating legend Oksana Baiul has gone Chernobyl on NBC ... claiming the network screwed her over by making her sign a contract with a bunch of gobbledygook when all she knew was goulash.

Oksana is suing NBC, claiming the deal she made to star in "Nutcracker on Ice" was grossly one-sided and, as a result, she hasn't seen a ruble in profits.

Oksana made the deal when she was 16 and says at the time she had a feeble command of the English language and had no idea what she was signing. As a result, she claims the NBC nogoodnicks haven't anted up for the last 17 years.

Those crazy Ukrainians.

Another sports megastar is gettin' married ... this time, golf phenom Rory McIlroy popped the question to his tennis champ GF Caroline Wozniacki ... and she said yes!

Just like Carl Crawford and Dwyane Wade, Rory proposed with a MASSIVE diamond ring.

The proposal went down in Sydney, Australia where Caroline is getting ready for the Australian Open ... and of course, Rory immediately tweeted the news:

"Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling it's going to be a great year!! My first victory of 2014 #shesaidyes!!"

Sorry fellas, Aaron Rodgers just ain't into dudes ... so says the Green Bay Packers QB himself who claims reports that he's gay are just plain wrong.

Rodgers appeared on ESPN radio in Wisconsin today and decided to address reports that he's in a secret gay relationship with a former personal assistant.

Here's Aaron's response ... "I’m just going to say I’m not gay. I really, REALLY like women."

The Super Bowl champ went on to explain, "There’s always going to be silly stuff out there in the media which you can’t worry too much about, and I don’t ... so, just, keep on trucking."

Exactly 9 months before Dwyane Wade's son was born (by a woman who's NOT his fiancee) ... Wade and Gabrielle Union were still acting like they were very much a couple ... and TMZ has the proof.

We broke the story ... Wade's baby mama Aja Metoyer gave birth to Dwyane's son Xavier on Nov. 10. Wade claims the two were on a "break" at the time.

But on February 5th (9 months before the birth), Gabrielle was Instagramming about Wade ... posting a photo of the NBA star cuddled up with her dog Sasha along with caption, "Sasha don't play when it comes to her man... 'Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend.'"

A couple of days before that (on Feb. 1), Gabrielle posted a romantic photo of the couple together from a photo shoot for a "Flashback Friday."

Doesn't seem like a couple on a break ...

There's more ... on February 19th, Gabby posted another pic of Dwyane holding one of her scripts ... with the caption, "It takes a village to help an actress learn her lines... @dwyanewade takin a break from his Gatorade commercial to give me a line reading. Thanks coach :)"

The patter continues until April ... when Gabby stopped posting pics of Dwyane and started posting a bunch of sad cryptic quotes. One reads, "We cannot start over, but we can begin now, and make a new ending."

Another says, "Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been, to stand up taller than you ever were."

But on May 16, Wade returns to the picture ... with Union posting a photo of the couple, along with the caption, "I like this dude."

11:30 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has learned ... Aja's two other children were fathered by "Happy Endings" star Damon Wayans Jr. ... the son of "In Living Color" legend Damon Wayans (obviously).

We're told Damon is very involved in the children's lives.

TMZ Sports has obtained the birth certificate for Dwyane Wade's brand new son ... which shows the kid's name is Xavier Zechariah Wade ... and he was only born last month.

Of course, Wade recently acknowledged that he had a kid with a woman who isn't his fiancee Gabrielle Union. There are reports that Wade and Union were on a break when the child was conceived.

Now, we know the kid was born in Los Angeles on Nov. 10, 2013 ... just 6 weeks before Wade popped the question to Gabrielle, who he's been dating since 2009.

According to the birth certificate, Wade's baby mama is 30-year-old Aja Metoyer. The details of their relationship are basically unknown, except the obvious fact they have a kid together.

Aja has two other children.

Metoyer did not list Wade as the father on the birth certificate, but she did give the child Dwyane's last name.
