Wayne Gretzky says he's pretty sure his daughter could DOMINATE him at golf -- after getting some private 1-on-1 lessons from her PGA star fiance -- but the Great One tells TMZ Sports, he still owns her on the ice.

#99 was at Dodgers Stadium promoting the return of hockey to the building ... when we asked him if he's seen Paulina's new and improved swing -- which she credits to her pro-golfer fiance Dustin Johnson.

Gretzky says he's positive Dustin's helping improve her stroke ... but he made one thing clear: he's still the king of the ice in the family.

Check out the video ... and pay your respects to the man who created this:

The Patriots were BLINDSIDED by LeGarrette Blount's sudden rise to superstardom -- at least the official team shop was, 'cause they're all SOLD OUT of his jerseys ... and now the team is scrambling to crank out #29s before the next playoff game.

With Blount going bonkers -- scoring 8 TD's in his last 3 games and becoming the first player in NFL history to put up +150 yds and 4 TD's in a single playoff game -- his jersey is becoming impossible to find.

We spoke to several shops in the Boston area, including the official Patriots team store ... and the story was the same everywhere -- WE'RE ALL SOLD OUT OF #29.

Makes sense, since Blount started the season as a backup running back ... but now, the official Pats team shop tells TMZ Sports, they''re literally printing up Blount jerseys one-by-one at the stadium to try to keep up with the demand.

"The Patriots ProShop is one of the few stores around licensed to make customized Nike jerseys," a rep tells us.

Evander Holyfield has issued an apology for talking about PUNCHING A HORSE on TV ... but here's the shocker, he never expresses any remorse for actually striking the animal.

As we previously reported, the former boxing champ appeared on "U.K. Celebrity Big Brother" and admitted he once punched a pregnant horse in the face because it bucked him off and he was embarrassed.

He also pissed off gay rights advocates during his stint on the reality show when he compared homosexuality to a "handicap" that could be fixed.

Now, after a public backlash, Holyfield is speaking out on Twitter ... saying, "I‘d like to take this opportunity to respond publicly about my recent statements regarding homosexuality and also my comments about animals."

"I am sorry to any person I may have hurt or offended" ... adding, "I am a man of compassion, and I believe that God loves everybody."

Notice he only apologized to people he "may have offended" ... NOT backing down from his statements OR his violent man-on-horse actions.

Arian Foster believes the woman carrying his child is trying to use the fetus to launch her reality TV career ... and even called herself a "blondashian," this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... a woman named Brittany is suing the Houston Texans running back claiming he knocked her up 17 weeks ago and pressured her to get an abortion, which she refuses to do.

Now, we've learned Foster filed a response ... in which he blasts Brittany as a shameless fame whore -- and he's begging the judge to seal her lips before she turns the legal battle into a media "carnival."

In his legal docs, Foster claims Brittany has "already indicated in social media postings announcing that she will participate in a reality show revolving around her pregnancy and thereby draw additional media attention."

Foster included a recent screen grab from what he believes to be Brittany's Twitter page in which she wrote, "Shooting interviews for the last casting reel for my family's reality show #blondashians."

So far, it doesn't appear the judge has granted Foster's request.

A spokesman for Foster had no immediate comment.

8:51 AM PT -- We spoke with Brittany who tells us she WAS in talks to star in a reality show, but never signed any contracts ... and she insists the show was NEVER supposed to be about being pregnant with Arian's child.

Brittany says the show is supposed to be about hot moms with hot daughters -- and she would star in the show with her mother.

Brittany says she would never exploit her child -- or the drama surrounding her child -- in a reality show.

Justin Bieber shouldn't go to jail for egging his neighbor's house last week ... but he DOES need someone to BEAT HIS ASS ... so says ex-NFL player Jordan Babineaux.

With Justin's neighbor pushing for incarceration, we asked the former Seattle Seahawks safety how JB should be punished for allegedly causing $20k in damage to his neighbor's home.

Jordan's response ... CLASSIC.

"I'd kick his little ass," Jordan said ... "I'd give him a wedgie and throw him in the pool."

There's more -- it's awesome.

TMZ Sports has obtained the photos of Tito Ortiz's battered Porsche, which the former MMA fighter crashed into a median while allegedly driving drunk last week.

As we previously reported, Ortiz wrecked his Porsche Panamera last Monday while driving on the 405 Freeway around 4:30AM after partying at the Playboy Mansion. He was arrested for DUI immediately following the crash.

The pics show Tito's car suffered some serious damage ... and sources tell TMZ Sports it's most likely unsalvageable.

Olympic gold medal skier and extremely white person Picabo Street tells TMZ Sports the key to her incredible career was a steady diet of HARDCORE GANGSTER RAP ... seriously.

Picabo and her husband touched down in NYC Monday ... where she told us she couldn't channel her killer instinct on the slopes without some help from Tupac and Biggie ... and she even named some of her favorite songs.

It worked ... Street had one of the most successful professional careers of any American skier.

Thug life.

Lane Kiffin is a puppy hater ... in fact, Lane tells TMZ Sports he hates his adorable little rascals so much, he's including them with the sale of his Manhattan Beach mansion.

The ex-USC football coach-turned-Alabama offensive coordinator vented about his pooches at LAX ... and even blames his wife for wanting to buy the doggies in the first place.

"They're killing me," Lane griped ... "That's the wife though, you know? Buy puppies thinking it's a good idea."

Orlando Hernandez -- aka El Duque -- has gone from World Series champ with the New York Yankees to just another angry dad at his kid's baseball game. The video is awesome, but was Duque justified ... or just a tool?

Plus, Houston Texans star Arian Foster sued by a woman who claims he knocked her up, and tried to force her into an abortion. Is the ex-bartender telling the truth? She was with us, live -- watch and decide.

Former NBA star Doug Christie is issuing an apology to all Americans who are upset with him for joining Dennis Rodman's basketball trip to North Korea ... telling TMZ Sports it he had it all to do over again, he'd probably just stay at home.

Christie tells us he's well aware of the "hailstorm" of criticism directed at him and the rest of the NBA guys who joined Rodman on the trip ... and says he knows people are upset with him for socializing with a tiny, angry, uncle-killing anti-American dictator.

Now, Christie is breaking his silence to TMZ Sports ... saying, "I'd like to apologize to my family and friends and all my fellow Americans if what I did was un-American or unpatriotic."

Christie says if he knew then what he knows now, he "probably wouldn't [have gone on the trip]" ... but notes, "The culterual exchange was awesome."

**WARNING -- THIS AUDIO IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING**

TMZ Sports has obtained the 911 call made when 4 men invaded the home of MMA fighter Joe Torrez ... and the panicked caller describes the dramatic moment Torrez fights for his life ... killing one of the intruders in the process.

The call was made by a woman in Joe's home -- and she tells the dispatcher a "car full of people" arrived to their New Mexico house on January 1 with violent intentions.

The caller says the intruders were breaking windows and attacking Joe while children were hiding in a back room.

The caller says one of the invaders was trying to attack Joe with a knife.

After Joe fought off the intruders, the caller tells the dispatcher, "There’s a guy in here laying on the floor ... he’s an enemy obviously ... he’s laying on the floor."

Arian Foster tried to strong arm a woman into aborting their unborn child ... and even got his brother to apply some pro-abortion pressure, this according to a lawsuit filed by the woman who claims she's carrying the NFL star's kid.

TMZ Sports has obtained legal docs, filed in Texas, in which a woman named Brittany claims the Houston Texans running back knocked her up several months ago. FYI -- Foster is married to another woman.

In her lawsuit, the woman -- who says she's currently 17 weeks pregnant -- alleges that after she found out she was with child, Arian "constantly harassed [her] to get an abortion for the child."

Brittany also claims Arian "used family members to additionally harass [her] to get an abortion."

In her suit, Brittany claims Arian's brother approached her and told her, "If you love [Arian] so much you would get an abortion."

Brittany claims the child is due in June -- and she has already obtained a DNA test showing there's a 99.9% probability that Arian is her baby daddy.

The woman is going after Arian for child support and a restraining order to force him to stop applying abortion pressure. She also wants damages for emotional distress.

We reached out to Arian and his reps for comment -- so far, no word back from anyone.

Not everyone's forgiven Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper for his infamous N-word rant ... especially not John Legend and his supermodel wife, who tell TMZ Sports they still think the guy's a "d*ck."

It's been 6 months since that video of Riley threatening to fight "every n**ger" at a Kenny Chesney concert surfaced online ... and while most Eagles players announced they forgave the guy, Legend says he's still not ready to let it go.

In fact, Legend tweeted at Riley during the Eagles playoff game -- saying, "We haven't forgotten about you, Riley."

But at LAX this weekend, Chrissy took it one step further ... telling us plain and simple -- Cooper is just a "d*ck" ... and always will be.

Dwight Howard got a new job -- he's teaching people how to DROP THAT NAE NAE ... and he's spreading the word by showing off his dance moves in a music video with the guys behind the song.

Howard was recruited to star in the new WeAreToonz video for "Drop That Nae Nae" -- a hip hop song that's sweeping the nation.

In fact, the "Nae Nae" dance craze is so HUGE right now ... Mark Ingram busted it out after scoring a TD in the Wild Card game last week, and the Michigan St. Spartans did it in the locker room after winning the Rose Bowl.

Unclear how Dwight got hooked up with the group, but it's clear he's a better "Nae Nae" dropper than he is a free throw shooter.

You KNOW Jerry Stackhouse is secure with his manhood ... 'cause the 6'6" former NBA superstar was carrying around his adorable little dog this weekend ... in a designer black doggy purse.

The poochie ALMOST went under the radar at LAX -- but then we noticed the handbag on Jerry's cart had a cute little face poking out the side.

Safety first ... is not exactly a priority for Gisele Bundchen, who took her 1-year-old daughter on an ATV ride yesterday in Costa Rica -- without a helmet.

Gisele wasn't doing wheelies or anything, but it's still pretty dangerous, considering she was driving one-handed and holding on to her baby daughter Vivian Lake with the other.

For the record, it's illegal to ride an ATV on public land in Costa Rica without a helmet. Gisele's driving down to the beach, but it's unclear if the beach is private.
