Eddie Alvarez isn't the only one taking shots at Conor McGregor ... 'cause PETA is calling out the MMA superstar over the flashy mink coat he wore during the UFC 205 presser Thursday, TMZ Sports has learned.

Aside from McGregor's usual news conference antics, all eyes were on his outfit ... which featured what he claims to be an all white Gucci mink.

PETA's Senior Vice President, Lisa Lange, took notice ... and called out the Notorious for his fashion choice.

"There are few things more out of touch than draping yourself in the skins of animals who were beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their fur," Lange says.

"Real men leave the beatings in the ring -- and fight, not support, animal abuse."

Tracy McGrady is 100% sure he'd Nolan Ryan Tim Tebow ... as in STRIKE HIM THE HELL OUT if the two men ever faced off on the baseball diamond.

McGrady had a short stint as a pitcher with the Sugar Land Skeeters a couple years back ... so when we got him out in L.A. we asked if he thought he could get 3 strikes by that other new baseball star.

He didn't even hesitate ... the guy is confident.

BTW ... McGrady had a 6.75 ERA in 4 appearances for the Skeeters, and Tebow is currently batting .156 in Arizona fall league. So, not exactly Clemens vs. Bonds here ... but still fun to think about.

Ray Rice. Adrian Peterson. DeflateGate. CTE. TV ratings ... Roger Goodell has a tough job -- and Adam Silver knows it.

The NBA commish was leaving a charity event for the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation in NYC Thursday night when we asked who has the harder job ... him or Goodell?

Silver's job hasn't exactly been a cakewalk ... Donald Sterling, the Rajon Rondo homophobia scandal, ATL Hawks racism scandal, Blake Griffin fight.

Okay, maybe Goodell does have the most challenging gig ... and even Silver acknowledged it.

That being said, Goodell reportedly made $32 MILLION last season ... so, worth it?

Despite having a pretty rough week, Michelle Obama found some time to smile and goof around with LeBron and the rest of the Cavs on Thursday ... pulling off a Mannequin Challenge at the White House!

The Cavs were at 1600 Penn. to be honored by Obama for winning the NBA championship -- and decided to get in on the social media craze while there.

Scottie and Larsa Pippen ripped a page straight out of Crazy Eddie's handbook -- majorly SLASHING the price on their Florida mansion ... and now it's PRICED TO SELL AT $10.9 MIL!

Donald Trump and Conor McGregor in the same building??

It could happen on Saturday ... because the President-elect had told Dana White he'd be at UFC 205 if he won the election.

We spoke with Dana -- who famously gave a speech for Donald at the Republican National Convention back in July -- and the UFC honcho told us about Trump's tentative plans to attend the fight in NYC.

"Donald originally told me he that would come to the fight if he won," White said.

"I don't think Donald really realized what his duties were gonna be had he won. I think he's meeting with Obama today and then I don't know. We'll see, man."

"Listen, no pressure to come ... but it wouldn't suck if he came."

More troubling behavior from ex-Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle -- who was charged with a crime after allegedly ripping a TV off the wall in jail ... because he wanted to watch a certain show.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs which show Randle was charged with criminal damage to property for the July 28 incident at the Sedgwick County Jail.

Officials say witnesses snitched on Randle -- most likely because he broke the whole TV which was damaged beyond repair. Everyone knows you don't mess with inmates' TV privileges!

Randle was (and is) behind bars stemming from an incident in which officials say he allegedly ran over multiple people with his car after losing a beer pong game.

What does it look like to have Conor McGregor threaten to bash you with a chair??? See for yourself!

When Conor and Eddie Alvarez got into it at the UFC 205 news conference, UFC star Tyron Woodley pulled out his phone and shot the whole thing ... while standing RIGHT BEHIND Eddie!!!

Conor McGregor just UNLOADED on Eddie Alvarez at the UFC 205 press conference at Madison Square Garden ... telling Alvarez to "suck these big Irish balls."

It was insane ... Conor walked onstage 15 minutes late rockin' a mink coat ... and proceeded to verbally attack Alvarez.

At one point, McGregor snatched Alvarez's belt off the table ... almost coming to blows before Dana stepped in.

Teyana Taylor just let the entire world know who she supported in the election ... using the Cavs' trip to the White House to make a statement about Hillary Clinton.

Taylor is with her husband, Iman Shumpert, in D.C. Thursday to meet Obama ... and decided to make a statement by posing next to a picture of Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Teyana posted the pic to her Instagram along with another shot featuring a quote from Civil Rights leader Angela Davis ... who seemed to be Teyana's fashion inspiration for the night.

Worth noting ... Davis was a close associate of the Black Panther Party back in the '60s and '70s ... a movement that has heavily influenced the Black Lives Matter movement of today.

When in Washington ... get a little political.

President Obama just got to flex his comedy skills one last time ... welcoming the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers to the White House.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the rest of the squad were honored by POTUS on the lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave ... and the prez was funny!!

Topics Obama didn't touch? Donald Trump. Khloe Kardashian. Everything else was fair game ... including busting on J.R. Smith for not wearing a shirt after the Cavs won the title.

B.O. also discusses "MacGyver" Iman Shumpert for delivering his baby with the help of a pair of headphones.

Check out the clip, and congrats champs!

N.Y. Mets star Jeurys Familia just pled not guilty to a domestic violence charge stemming from his arrest last week in New Jersey.

As we previously reported, the 27-year old pitcher was arrested for simple assault on October 31 after cops say he "caused bodily injury to another" during an alleged domestic dispute.

Familia appeared in Fort Lee Municipal Court -- with his attorney, wife and a translator -- and formally entered his plea.

Hulk Hogan says he's had NO DISCUSSION with WWE about a WrestleMania return ... despite his daughter, Brooke Hogan, telling us he'd been contacted about a comeback.

Brooke told TMZ Sports over the weekend that "people have been calling [Hulk] about WrestleMania" ... sending wrestling fans into a frenzy.

FYI -- Hulk was fired by the company in 2015.

But not so fast ... 'cause Hulk says it simply ain't true. Appearing on the “Bischoff on Wrestling” podcast, Hulk shot down Brooke's claim.

“Brooke running around on TMZ and the statement she made about me and wrestling and WrestleMania. For the record, like I said, she needs the big boot to the head. I haven’t talked to anybody about Wrestlemania."

There it is ... but maybe, just maybe, could this be Hulk's return secret? We'll see!

Here's Ronda Rousey and her boyfriend, Travis Browne, at LAX ... and she's the picture of a woman on a mission.

Chicago Cubs star Anthony Rizzo is nowhere close to slowin' down the victory party -- the World Series hero joined country singer Brett Eldredge to sing "Go Cubs Go" in a bar Wednesday night.

Rizzo and Eldredge -- who sang with the guys after last week's parade -- gave the folks at Chicago's Bub City quite a show ... singing the team anthem for what seems like the billionth time, but fans still can't get enough.

Who we kidding? They'll be singing this right up to Opening Day but hey, it's been 108 years.

Richard Sherman is NOT accepting the (not-really-an-apology) apology from the wife of Bills kicker Dan Carpenter ... calling it "ignorant" and bringing up the Ku Klux Klan.

Kaela Carpenter insisted her tweet calling Sherman an "animal" and threatening to castrate him was not intended to be racist ... and though she never specifically apologized, she tried to explain that it was just a joke.

Sherman responded on Wednesday afternoon ... and he wasn't laughing.

"It's not surprising at all," Sherman said. "This is a day and age, you've got the Ku Klux Klan running around."

"People say whatever they want, and there's very little consequence. For her to say something like that and then have a B.S. apology like she did, it's just the way of the world. I don't let it bother me. It's something I'm very used to. It's just the way people are, the way people were raised."
