N.Y. Mets star pitcher Jeurys Familia was arrested for domestic violence early Monday morning in New Jersey ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Familia -- an All-Star pitcher -- was arrested by the Fort Lee police department ... after they responded Monday morning at 2:22 AM to a call for "a dispute."

According to the complaint ... cops observed visible injuries to the alleged victim, including "a scratch to the chest and bruise to the right cheek."

Familia was arrested and charged with simple assault. His bail was set at $1,500.

The Mets released the following statement, saying, "The matter was brought to our attention and we are monitoring the situation."

We reached out to Familia's rep ... but so far, no word back.

FYI -- Familia appeared in an anti-domestic violence PSA earlier this month.

Scottie Pippen's wife tearfully told a 911 dispatcher her husband was getting aggressive, but he was doing everything he could to call off the cavalry.

We obtained audio of the 911 call made October 1st -- the first time cops responded to the Pippen's Florida home. Later that month, Scottie filed for divorce.

It's unclear what the argument was over, but as we reported Larsa had been hanging with Future and it appears it was a source of conflict.

Chad Johnson's quest to dominate the video game world in FIFA continued Monday night ... except for one thing ... he kinda got dominated by a random dude in Queens.

Ochocinco happened to be in NY last night -- and sent out a challenge to his followers on Twitter ... that he would make a house call and beat your ass in person (he does this all the time).

23-year-old Jimmy Russo accepted the challenge -- so Chad showed up to his home in Queens ... where they battled though TEN GAMES.

Problem is ... Chad lost 9.

Still, a decent night for Chad ... Jimmy bought pizza and his mom treated the guys to some Dunkin' Donuts. Good times.

He won't say he's "rooting" for the Cubs -- but ex-Cleveland Indians player Nick Swisher is clearly pulling for Chicago to win Tuesday night ... claiming it's simply better for baseball if the Cubbies win.

Swisher is from Ohio, played for the Indians from 2013 to 2015 and says he still has a bunch of close friends on the team ... but when we saw Nick at LAX Tuesday morning, he explained why he's not Team Cleveland.

The bad news for Chicago -- Nick says he's been talking to some of the Cleveland players and they're feeling pretty great.

Sad news ... NBA star Chandler Parsons and his ex-Victoria's Secret model girlfriend, Toni Garrn, are officially over ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The two had been dating since last summer -- months after she split with Leonardo DiCaprio -- and they seemed to be getting pretty serious as of late.

But a source close to the former couple tells us the two have "amicably split" -- and despite the fact they've scrubbed each other from their Instagram accounts, they're still on good terms.

So, what went wrong? We're told work got in the way. They're both focusing on their careers -- Toni's doing the modeling thing and Chandler's working on getting back on the court with the Memphis Grizzlies after knee surgery back in March.

Don't worry, he's a rich NBA star (signed a $94 MILLION contract back in July) and she's a super hot model -- they'll be fine.

DeAndre Jordan says R&B singer Sevyn Streeter should diss the 76ers the same way they dissed her ... and REJECT their offer of a do-over-make-good performance of the National Anthem.

You know the story ... the Sixers put the kibosh on Streeter's opening night anthem performance because the singer was wearing a shirt that read "We Matter."

Players on the roster were none too pleased about the decision, and the organization has since apologized to Sevyn and offered her an opportunity to sing again whenever she wants.

We got DJ leaving a Halloween party out in L.A. Monday night and asked him the question everyone wants to know about the situation ... should Streeter take the mulligan?

Ain't nuthin' but a Broncos paaarty ...

Tupac, Dr. Evil, the dude from "Coming to America" ... the Denver Broncos busted out some pretty awesome costumes at the team Halloween party Monday night -- and we've got the video.

Von Miller was Austin Powers' nemesis, DeMarcus Ware was The Mad Hatter, T.J. Ward was Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP) and Aqib Talib was either Willy Wonka or a pimp.

But the best costume ... Kayvon Webster and his date who went as Tupac and Jada Pinkett from that famous photo.

Are we sure Tupac isn't alive and playing cornerback???

NY Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall has NEVER made a playoff appearance in his entire 11 year NFL career -- but he says that's finally going to change.

We saw Brandon out Monday night on Halloween and asked about his costume -- here's what he said:

"I am myself ... I'm Brandon Marshall, the wide receiver that made the playoffs!"

The Jets are 3-5 and way behind the Patriots in the AFC East -- but there are rumors the Jets could move Marshall ... and the trade deadline is 4 PM ET TODAY!!!

So, does he know something we don't ... or is he saying Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets are still going to get to the postseason?

When you're a world class athlete with an insane physique -- you don't hide your body behind a big baggy Halloween costume ... just ask stars like Giancarlo Stanton!

The MLB slugger got decked out like a pharaoh to party his face off -- while MMA stars like Cody Garbrandt broke out the S&M gear.

Floyd Mayweather, Mike Vick, Paulina Gretzky, Bryce Harper and more ... they all dressed up for Halloween and we got the pics!

Enjoy the candy hangover.

Not exactly Tupac vs. Biggie, but celebs on both coasts tried to outdo each other Monday night, partying hard.

On the East ... Heidi Klum, Kelly Bensimon, Questlove, Alicia Quarles, Jay Pharoah, Jessica Williams, Danielle Brooks, Serena Williams, Deborah Cox, Ice-T, Coco, Bethenny Frankel, Adrienne Moore, Chanel Iman, Tinashe ... and that's just what's in our video.

On the West ... Karrueche Tran, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Bow Wow, Wiz Khalifa, Sofia Richie, Ryan Phillippe and DeAndre Jordan.

A good time ... had by all.

Remember earlier this season when EVERYONE was saying the Bears should fire Jay Cutler and find a QB who isn't a giant black hole of suck???

Yeah, well his wife Kristin Cavallari sure does -- and Monday night she had a message for all the haters ... WHERE YOU AT NOW??

Ronda Rousey's days in the Octagon are coming to an end ... so says the UFC superstar who just announced that UFC 207 is "definitely one of my last fights."

Rousey sat down with Ellen (airs Tuesday) and was asked about her MMA future -- and the 29-year-old made it clear she's thinking about the next phase of her life.

As for her upcoming fight against Amanda Nunes on Dec. 30th, Ronda says she's in killer shape and ready to throw down -- "I finally feel like super ninja good."

Raiders star Donald Penn's wife is calling quits on their marriage ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported ... Donald's wife, Dominique Penn, BLASTED the star lineman over social media earlier this month after he allegedly knocked up a reality TV star.

At the time, Dominique vowed to stick by Donald's side ... but something clearly changed ... 'cause only days after calling out her husband and his alleged baby mama, Dominique filed for divorce in L.A.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Dominique -- married to Donald since June 2012 -- lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

In the docs -- filed on October 20th -- she asks for spousal support and joint custody of their 3 kids.

We reached out to Donald's rep ... who had no comment.

Future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez knows why Cam Newton is targeted by the hardest hitting players in the NFL -- 'cause he's got a big mouth.

After Sunday's 30-20 win over the Cardinals ... the Panthers star QB complained about the refs ... saying he didn't "feel safe" after hits he thought shoulda been flagged ... weren't.

Gonzalez -- who took his fair share of big hits during his 17 year career -- says Newton makes himself a target because of his cockiness.

"If I were him, I wouldn't do all that Superman stuff ... but that's his style," Gonzalez says.

There's at least one Cubs fan who is still holding out hope the team isn't cursed forever ... Bob Odenkirk ... who says the mystical "Billy Goat Curse" that hung over the franchise is long dead.

We got Bob out in L.A. and, since he's a die-hard Cubbies fan, we wanted to know if he thought there was bad juju still hanging over the squad.

That woulda seemed like a silly question a week ago ... but the team's down 3-2 in the World Series after losing two at home ... and some fans who previously believed are letting old fears creep back in.

Check out the clip -- Bob says those people need not worry ... telling our camera guys the curse that dogged the squad has been gone for a long time now.

We're sure the NFL will love this ... a notorious Nevada brothel is making an indecent proposal to the Oakland Raiders ... promising half off all horizontal activities FOREVER ... if the team moves to Vegas.

The offer comes from Dennis Hof ... owner of Nevada's infamous Love Ranch ... who says he's so stoked about the potential Raiders move to Vegas he wants to seal the deal ... by throwing in some ass.

"All Raiders players and staff will receive 50% sex parties at the Love Ranch Vegas."

It's called the "Home Team Advantage Sex Package" and you read right, video coordinators and equipment dudes ... it's for ALL STAFF, so you're good to go too!!!

If you think it's all about debauchery Hof says it isn't ... saying that having a place the players can go and get their swerve on discretely might avoid some Warren Sapp/Greg Anthony situations.

"Our player relations group will help keep their trysts legal and secret."
