Marcellus Wiley Suge Knight's Goons Scared Me ... But 1-On-1 Would Be Different Story

Published | Updated

Marcellus Wiley says he was shaken to his core when he had a run-in with Suge Knight's goons at an L.A. club back in the day ... but says if he ever got a mano a mano with Suge ... he'd be just fine.

We got the ex-NFL star out at The Grove -- new family in tow -- and asked him about an infamous showdown between him an Suge's crew back in the day ... over a table at a nightclub.

Wiley ran the story down during a recent interview with VladTV ... saying his car was surrounded with guys when he left the club and it was actually The Game that warned him it was time to split.

MW says it's all cool with Suge now ... but we still had to ask ... take the crew out of it, and who wins in a throwdown between him and the former Death Row boss?

Wiley seems confident ... really confident ... wonder if Suge being currently "unavailable" (in jail) has anything to do with that?

Snoop Dogg Steelers Killed My Buzz ... Ain't Been the Same Since Polamalu

Published | Updated

Ex-Oregon Ducks Star Arrested for Drugs ... Tragic Mug Shot

Published | Updated

Ex-Oregon Ducks football star Cliff Harris -- a former All-American kick returner -- was arrested for drugs early Sunday morning ... and it's clear his life is completely off the rails.

The 25-year-old was a stud back in 2010 -- when he was one of the most dynamic players in college football as a returner and CB and helped the Ducks win another PAC-12 championship.

But he was dismissed from the program in 2011 -- and his draft stock plummeted. He signed a contract with the Jets in 2013 but was quickly waived after he was busted for weed.

Now, officials say Harris was arrested around 1 AM on Sunday for theft, drug possession and possession of paraphernalia.

Officials also say he violated his probation -- stemming from a 2015 incident in which Harris set fire to a grassy median in Fresno, CA.

You can see his mug shot ... it's not good.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

There's one rule to talking sports with T.I. ... put your money where your mouth is ... and the rap star just proved that by straight PUNKING a TMZ photog who tried to make an NFL bet on the street.

That's when a rich guy (T.I.) told a not so rich guy (our camera guy) to put up (money) or shut up (your mouth).

Best part? Tip's reaction when our guy tells him how much he wants to bet ... priceless.
