Rich Peverley Dallas Stars Player Collapses During Game
5:57 AM PT -- One of the doctors who treated Peverly told the media ... "We treated [him] for a cardiac event successfully."
The doctor continued, "We provide oxygen for him. We started an IV. We did chest compressions on him and defibrillated him, provided some electricity to bring a rhythm back to his heart, and that was successful with one attempt, which is very reassuring. As soon as we treated him, he regained consciousness. He was able to tell me where he was."
Peverley is currently in stable condition
Dallas Stars player Rich Peverley collapsed while sitting on the bench during a hockey game Monday night .... prompting officials to suspend the game while the 31-year-old was rushed into a tunnel for help.
So far, Peverley's condition is unknown ... but there's particular concern since he missed the entire preseason due to a heart condition.
After Peverley collapsed, both teams went back to the tunnel while officials tried to figure out how to proceed.
Both teams were visibly shaken. One player was seen crying. Others were praying.
Officials at the American Airlines Center say Peverley is conscious and was transported to a nearby hospital.

David Beckham The #1 Underwear Model of the Century ... Says Tommy Hilfiger
One package to rule them all ... and that package belongs to David Beckham ... so says Tommy Hilfiger who tells TMZ Sports the soccer icon is the GREATEST male undie model of all time.
This clip is actually pretty great ... it starts with our photog asking Tommy for a modeling job -- and in what may be the nicest "Don't call us" moment of all time, Tommy sings Beckham's praises as the "Underwear model of the century."
The interesting part -- Beckham never modeled for Tommy ... in fact, DB only ever modeled for the competition (Armani, H&M).
So ... sorry Mark Wahlberg ... and Antonio Sabato Jr. ... and Mehcad Brooks -- but when it comes to Tommy's pick -- you guys just didn't measure up.

Jackson and Nipsey were hanging out after a show in Philadelphia this weekend ... when they posed for a photo -- and DeSean threw a hand signal for Rollin' 40s Crips.
FYI -- Nipsey is a member of the Rollin' 60s Crips.
It ain't the first time Jackson has thrown the sign in public -- in fact, this past football season, he threw up the sign during a game against the Washington Redskins.
1:44 PM PT -- Our bad ... initially, we reported DeSean was at the YG party in L.A. In fact, the YG party was the following night in L.A.
Nipsey was at the YG party. DeSean was not.
Justin Bieber BREAKS SCOOTER'S ANKLES In Quasi-Impressive Basketball Clip
Here's Justin Bieber playing basketball again ... decently ... only to be overshadowed by the incredible acting performance of his flop-happy manager Scooter Braun.
Bieber and Scooter were playing some 1-on-1 ... when Bieber broke out his bag of dribbling tricks and pulled an "And 1" move on the guy.
Scooter, stealing a move from the Washington Generals, threw himself on his ass ... in an effort to make it seem like he got crossed over in a big way.
Give that man the Oscar.

The Black Keys We're Donating a Shirtload of Money ... To Our Little League
The Black Keys are about to make a HUGE donation to their hometown little league ... 'cause the custom jersey for the team they sponsor is now on sale to the public -- with every penny heading to the league.
The shirt went up for sale on the band's website Monday in an effort to raise funding for the West Akron Baseball League in Ohio.
As you may recall ... the Keys sponsored a team in the league last season ... and gave them bad ass jerseys with the band's name on it. They even signed 'em after the season was over as a souvenir.
The band says the money will go towards a variety of projects -- like lowering registration fees, buying uniforms, replacing benches/backstops and upgrading equipment.
Props.

Oscar Pistorius VOMITS IN COURT During Graphic Description of GF's Wounds
Oscar Pistorius threw up in court today ... several times ... as a pathologist detailed the injuries he found on Reeva Steenkamp's body after she was shot, in gruesome detail.
Pistorius was given a bucket to puke into during the testimony ... and used it quite frequently.
In between vomit sessions, the Olympian was seen rocking back and forth, crying and covering his ears with his hands.
As for the testimony, Professor Gert Saayman detailed the bullet wounds he found on Steenkamp following her death ... saying she was shot on the top of the head, in the right elbow, in the right hip and left hand.
Saayman said the head would have incapacitated Steenkamp immediately. He also said the ammo, Black Talon bullets, are the kind that "expand and mushroom" on impact for maximum damage.
At one point, the judge asked Pistorius' lawyer if he was going to be able to compose himself and stay in the courtroom. Oscar said he wanted to continue ... and was allowed to stay.

Aquille Carr Ex-High School Phenom: I'm Training For NBA Draft
-
Exclusive Details
- 121 shares
Ex-high school basketball stud Aquille Carr -- who famously turned down a scholarship to Seton Hall for a career overseas -- now has his sights set on the NBA, telling TMZ Sports he’s training hard for the upcoming draft.
Carr's journey hasn't exactly been smooth sailing ... the 20-year-old left high school to supposedly take a gig with a European team, but that didn't work out and he got an opportunity on an NBA D-League team.
But Carr (5'6", 148-lbs) was recently released from the D-League squad (although the team praised his talent) ... and now, Aquille says he's confident he'll be drafted by an NBA team in June.
In fact, Carr says he's been back East working with trainers to develop his NBA game -- with an intense focus on shooting and playmaking.
He also tells TMZ Sports he’s learned from his past mistakes, which include a 2012 arrest for domestic assault -- "I don’t look back on my past. I’m on to better things, learning, working hard and trusting in god more."
Carr, nicknamed "The Crimestopper" because of a reported dip in Baltimore crime during his high school games, says it was his recent experience in the D-League that had the biggest effect on his future plans -- "It helped me mature more, playing with guys that are in the NBA now, living that lifestyle, I learned a lot."
As far as the NBA competition he’ll be up against ... Aquille doesn’t seem to be intimidated.
We asked who’d win in a one-on-one game between him and the NBA’s number one little man Nate Robinson ... and Aquille didn't hesitate -- “Aquille Carr The Crimestopper, no doubt.”
We'll see.
Louis Tomlinson Sorry Messi ... RONALDO IS BETTER!!!
Say what you will about Louis Tomlinson, but the One Direction singer's got a serious pair of cojones for taking a stand on one of the biggest arguments in sports -- Messi vs. Ronaldo.
Louis -- who dabbles in pro soccer himself -- was leaving a tattoo shop in L.A. this weekend when we asked him ... who's the better player??! The pretty boy or the Atomic Flea?!
It's a raging controversy in the football world ... here are the cliff notes for the debate:
-- Ronaldo has 38 goals in '13/'14 play ... Messi has 27.
-- Messi outscored Ronaldo by 18 GOALS in the 2 seasons before that.
-- Messi has 13 more assists than Ronaldo over the past 3 seasons.
But ... Ronaldo is bigger where it counts -- his wallet.
According to Goal.com, Ronaldo's worth €148 million ... while Messi's only worth a puny €146 million.
Did Louis make the right call?
Thiago Silva Judge Says I CAN FIGHT AGAIN!
Former UFC star Thiago Silva has been cleared to fight again ... not by the UFC (Dana White banned him for life) ... but by a judge, who says Silva has the right to earn his living.
As we previously reported, Silva was finally released from jail (on bail) after allegedly grabbing a gun and threatening to execute his wife and her boyfriend outside of a FL martial arts gym last month.
The judge slapped Silva with several restrictions (no drugs, booze, anger management, etc) ... but Silva's attorney Scott Saul tells us he DID allow Silva to resume training for his MMA career.
Weird, since one day he'll be learning how to manage his anger ... and the next he'll be training himself to pummel another man within an inch of his life.
We're told Silva -- who's under house arrest and wears an electronic tracking device -- has permission to train at a nearby gym. He's also allowed to visit with his attorney and his manager.
Since the UFC is off the table, Silva will try and book a fight with another organization -- and once that happens (if it happens), the judge will have to give approval before Silva can enter the ring.
Arizona Cardinals Star Darren Sharper Is a JOKE!!!
"Darren Sharper" is apparently becoming a slang term for raping a woman ... at least according to Arizona Cardinals defensive stud Darnell Dockett.
The 3-time Pro Bowler went on Twitter the other day and spelled it out ... writing:
"My boy just said 'Man I saw a girl so bad today I wish I had that DS for her.' I said what's DS? He said that Darren sharper."
Sharper has been charged with drugging and raping 2 women in Los Angeles ... and he's facing similar allegations in 4 other states, including Arizona.
One guy gave Dockett the "too soon" treatment on Twitter. What do you think?
Warren Buffett Bullish on Creighton University

Buffett even posed for pics before the game with the school's best player, Doug McDermott.
