Plaxico Burress just got ROCKED by the real estate market ... 'cause he just unloaded his Florida mansion for HALF of what he paid for it back in 2005, TMZ Sports has learned.

We know ... Plaxico originally bought the 6,872 square-foot mansion in Lighthouse Point, FL back in September 2005 for $3.995 ... but that was right before the bubble burst.

Since then, real estate values in the area have plummeted -- and Plax just sold the place for $2 mil.

Official documents obtained by TMZ Sports show Plax was able to get rid of the house as part of a short sale (where the bank accepts less money than what's owed on the mortgage).

Unclear why Plax decided to sell since the house in incredible ... with a full media screening room, incredible pool, marble everywhere and a 100-foot dock.

He may be retired, but former Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook says he's still a SPEED DEMON ... and could put up a 40-time that's faster than most pro backs.

In fact, the 34-year-old tells TMZ Sports ... he's FASTER now than he was as a rookie in 2002, when he clocked a 4.57 at the NFL combine.

It's unlikely Westrbrook is thinking about coming out of retirement at this point, but if he's telling the truth ... he would make a HELLUVA flag football teammate.

Retired Penguins star Bill Guerin is living every hockey players dream ... 'cause the guy just dropped HALF A MILLION DOLLARS on a full-size ice rink in his BACKYARD, TMZ Sports has learned.

The 2x-Stanley Cup winner -- who now oversees player development for the Penguins -- had the rink installed in the back of his new home in Sewickley, PA ... just a 25 min drive from the Penguins stadium.

We're told Guerin even ordered a personal ZAMBONI machine to keep the ice in tip top shape.

Also looks like there's a basketball net at the end of the rink ... so we're hoping Guerin's in the process of inventing some sort of hockey-basketball hybrid sport.

The real winners here -- every kid in that neighborhood.

Jackie Robinson ... Don Drysdale ... Lasorda ... Fernando ... Kirk ... so many legendary Dodgers -- but when we asked Peter O'Malley to name the greatest of all, only one name came to mind.

O'Malley's opinion counts -- he and his family owned the Blue Crew for nearly 5 decades before selling the club in 1998 (He's now the owner of the San Diego Padres).

So, who'd he pick? Here's a hint: He once gave up an inside the park home run to Mr. Ed.

To the victor go the spoils ... just ask Russell Wilson, who's sitting courtside at the Brooklyn Nets game with Beyonce and Jay Z.

Russell Wilson will serve as a mentor to minor league players in the Texas Rangers organization when he appears in the team's spring training camp in AZ ... a rep for the Rangers tells TMZ Sports.

With Wilson's baseball agent already confirming that the Seattle Seahawks quarterback will be on hand when the team gets together in Surprise, AZ in a few weeks ... many were wondering if the former baseball star would actually suit up and get on the field.

FYI -- Wilson was a bigtime baseball prospect ... and his MLB rights currently belong to the Rangers after they acquired him in a deal with the Rockies back in December.

But the Rangers tells us ... Wilson won't need his cleats when he shows up to camp -- because he'll be "in a role of talking to our minor league players as opposed to a player."

The team says, "His leadership skills are off the charts and we feel it could be very beneficial for our young guys to be around him."

Nothing cures the agony of defeat like furious masturbation -- at least that's how Broncos Nation decided to deal with its grief last night ... after losing the Super Bowl 43-8.

XXX giant PornHub.com just released some fascinating stats from last night's porn viewership on its website -- showing overall viewership was down 32% during the big game ... down even more in Denver (51%) and Seattle (61%). Makes sense.

The tide turns around the halftime mark (EST) ... when most of the audience bailed on the game ... but things got even more interesting after the final score.

While porn viewing numbers in Seattle and Washington dropped below average in the wake of their massive victory -- presumably because everyone was out partying -- the numbers in Denver and Colorado surged to 10.8% and 7.6% above average, respectively.

Was Jon "Bones" Jones trying to DUCK Georges St-Pierre at the Super Bowl post-game bash in NYC last night??? Because it sure as hell looked that way in this clip.

It all went down outside Marquee nightclub ... GSP has no idea he's standing 3 ft. away from his fellow UFC superstar until our camera guy points him out.

What ensues is awkward, funny and confusing ... all at the same time.

It seems "Bones" was trying to signal our photog NOT to alert St-Pierre to his presence ... but our guy didn't get the hint and gave JJ up.

Lightening just struck twice ... a guy who won $50K on the 2012 Superbowl just did it again ... by placing the same exact bet.

Jona Rechnitz -- a successful NYC real estate mogul -- plunked down $500 ... betting the first scoring play in Super Bowl XLVIII would be a Seattle safety. The $500 turned into $25,000 -- we'll do the math for you ... 50/1 odds.

It's all the more impressive because 2 years ago Jona made the same type of bet -- and when the Giants scored a safety Jona walked away with $50K ... and gave it ALL to charity.

Jona tells us ... he's donating this year's winnings to the Simon Wiesenthal Center and to the Stewart J. Rahr Foundation.

Jona's chose the Wisenthal because it promotes tolerance and Rahr because its reach goes way beyond athletes and celebs, saying "[he] changes the lives of millions of people everyday."

You might want to fly on the plane Jona takes.

Let the backpedaling begin ... 'cause Warren Sapp is now saying he NEVER made a $100,000 bet with rap mogul Rick Ross ... despite strong video evidence to the contrary.

Sapp just went on Twitter and pleaded his case ... saying "just FYI for you clowns, Rick Ross don't even know my Phone # lets alone made a bet of 100k! Sounded Good #Not."

He continued, "I only bet on two things, sure things & my abilities, because the only thing I was ever sure of was my abilities #1stBallot."

Here's the problem ... the two made the bet ON STAGE at a nightclub in NYC ... and then Rick clarified the terms of the wager ON CAMERA (TMZ Sports has the footage).

Plus, they TWEETED about the bet ... with Warren seemingly acknowledging that it was on.

But, as you know, Sapp -- who filed for bankruptcy in 2012 -- took the Denver Broncos ... and they LOST.

As Aaron Rodgers now knows, you shouldn't make bets you don't expect to keep.

WWE Superstar Ryback took his catchphrase "Feed Me More" to the next level during the halftime of the Super Bowl ... by devouring the competition in a local wing eating contest.

Ryback posted video of the competition during yesterday's game ... and based on the footage, "The Big Guy" was clearly hungry -- 'cause he annihilated poultry like the Chinese in a Bird Flu scare.

The best part ... ya gotta watch Ryback's celebration in the restaurant after his commanding victory.

The Seattle Seahawks are celebrating their big win after destroying the Denver Broncos during last nights Superbowl XLVIII... but there is still one winner waiting to come out victorious.

Which of these Seahawks fan photos should score the $250 prize and some awesome TMZ stuff in our annual Superbowl Fanatic Photo Contest.

Joe Namath's show-stopping fur coat was a last-minute purchase that he decided he "HAD" to have after seeing it at a fur store just days before the Super Bowl ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Turns out, Namath picked up the coat on Wednesday from Marc Kaufman Furs in NYC.

We spoke with Kaufman himself, who told us Joe came into the store with his daughter and was on a mission to find the perfect fancy coat for the Super Bowl coin flip.

That's when Joe noticed a white stunner on one of the racks -- which was comprised of a coyote-base mixed with some white fox.

We're told Joe said, "This is perfect for me" ... and decided he had to have it.

Kaufman says the coat ran Joe a cool $3,000.

And get this ... Kaufman says Namath's fashion statement has been huge for business -- "My phone hasn't stopped ringing."

Oklahoma State University basketball star Stevie Clark is in trouble again ... this time the 19-year-old freshman was arrested for allegedly peeing out of the window of a moving vehicle, TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement tells us ... Clark was arrested at 12:46 AM on Sunday in Stillwater, OK after cops observed a man busting a #1 outside of a car window.

The Stillwater PD tells TMZ Sports ... Clark appeared to be "extremely intoxicated" at the time of the arrest.

Clark was arrested for "outraging public decency" and was hauled to a nearby jail. He was released a short time later after posting bond.

FYI -- if convicted, Clark will NOT be forced to register as a sex offender.
