U.S. Olympic legend Gabby Douglas has some advice for Usain Bolt after the sprinter was stripped of an Olympic gold medal this week ... GO OUT AND WIN ANOTHER ONE!!

The 21-year-old gymnast -- who has 3 Olympic gold medals of her own -- was at LAX when she heard that Bolt must hand over the 4x100 relay gold Jamaica won during the 2008 Games in Beijing.

FYI, Bolt's Team Jamaica teammate at the time, Nesta Carter, was found guilty of doping -- after a retest of his 2008 sample came back positive for a banned substance.

As a result, the entire relay team must hand back their medals. Sucks for Bolt, who did nothing wrong.

But Douglas has an easy solution for Usain ... don't retire and pick up a replacement gold at the 2020 Games.

Great advice!

Props to Colin Cowherd for asking Roger Goodell the question everyone's thinking -- if Tom Brady wins the Super Bowl, will it be awkward handing him the Lombardi Trophy???

Of course, Goodell waged the DeflateGate war against Brady and ultimately suspended him for 4 games this season ... you can imagine how Brady feels about the situation.

But Goodell had nothing but praise for Tom on "The Herd Live" on FS1 Wednesday -- saying Brady is "one of the all-time greats" and a "surefire Hall of Famer."

So, possible awkwardness? As Goodell put it, "Not for a second."

Good Lord.

Here's supermodel Nina Agdal showing off her insane physique for the upcoming 2017 SI Swimsuit edition .... proving once again it's good to be Leonardo DiCaprio.

No more words. Just watch. Good times.

Trick shots. Thunderous dunks. Crazy feats of athleticism.

The insanely athletic spawn of Metta World Peace and Shaquille O'Neal BALLED OUT HARD during a high school showdown in L.A. ... complete with some VERY impressive highlights.

Shareef O'Neal's Crossroads High School traveled to Ron Artest III's Bev Hills High Tuesday night -- where the prep stars battled it out in a game that literally came down to the buzzer.

In the end, Artest's team came out on top 50-47 ... but you gotta watch these highlights -- we're guessing they'll see each other again in college.

Ronda Rousey got political last week -- with a secret run to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to help protesters fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline project.

The UFC star teamed up with fellow Olympic judo athlete Pauline Macias and went to the protest site in North Dakota to deliver supplies.

We're told Ronda's group brought fresh fruit, veggies, bread, tents and wood-burning stoves. One source says Ronda didn't want recognition and tried to stay under the radar.

By the way, Ronda was SMILING again -- which is great because we haven't seen a lot of that lately.

As for the protest, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has led the charge against the 1,000 mile oil pipeline claiming a possible spill could damage important Native American cultural sites and pollute drinking water.

Pauline Instagrammed about the experience with Rousey saying, "I had one of the best road trips of my life with @rondarousey to deliver supplies to the protesters at Standing Rock!"

"This was such an incredible experience, & I can't thank my friend enough for allowing me to be a part of it! #NODAPL #StandWithStandingRock"

Out with the Swoosh ... in with TaylorMade.

Tiger Woods just announced his brand new endorsement deal with a golf equipment company OTHER than Nike ... announcing he'll now play with TaylorMade golf clubs.

Of course, Woods is still one of Nike's main guys ... but they shut down their golf equipment line last year -- forcing Tiger to get into bed with a new club maker.

Woods will still wear Nike clothing -- in fact, he's rocking a Swoosh shirt in his new TaylorMade advertisements.

As for his balls ... Tiger signed a deal with Bridgestone back in December.

Lamar Odom says he's ON BOARD to team up with Smush Parker and Kobe Bryant for Ice Cube's 3-on-3 basketball league ... telling TMZ Sports, "I'm with it!"

Of course, this whole thing started with Smush telling us he thinks he and Kobe could have been the greatest back court in Lakers history if they would have gotten along better during their playing days.

Now, Smush wants to team up with Kobe and Lamar again -- to dominate the Big3 league ... which already includes ex-NBA stars like Allen Iverson, Kenyon Martin, Rashard Lewis and more.

Smush is in. Lamar is in.

Just waiting on you, Kobe ... not like you have a job right now, right?

The head of one of the largest police groups in the country is calling out Roger Goodell -- saying he has "zero confidence" the NFL commish will punish Pacman Jones for wishing death on a Cincinnati cop.

NBA legend Jerry West was hospitalized Tuesday after a medical scare at an exclusive L.A. country club, TMZ Sports has learned ... but we're told he's doing much better now and has been released.

Multiple sources tell us 78-year-old West was at a private country club when something went wrong. One source says he collapsed. Another says he fell. Either way, paramedics were called to the scene and he was transported to a nearby hospital via ambulance.

The good news ... we're told he's back home and on the mend.

West is currently an executive board member for the Golden State Warriors but spends a lot of time in Los Angeles.

How's this for a twist ... M. Night Shyamalan's daughter CAN SING!!!

Saleka Shyamalan put her pipes on display at the Philadelphia 76ers game Tuesday night -- belting out a pretty impressive rendition of the National Anthem.

By the way, it happened to be "M. Night Shyamalan Night" -- honoring the director who happens to be a huge Philly fan. He even got to ring the team's ceremonial bell!

Oh ... and get this -- it was also $1 DOLLAR PRETZEL NIGHT AT THE ARENA!!

WHAT A NIGHT FOR 76ERS BASKETBALL!!!

Pro surfer Anastasia Ashley left her surfboard behind, but still got in the water at a beach in Miami and made some waves of her own ... in a teeny tiny purple bikini.

Vacation is over for Robert Griffin III -- the Cleveland Browns QB says he's already snapping back into training mode because he's gotta make sure the team doesn't suck in 2017.

RG3 had been relaxin' in Bora Bora with his girlfriend, Grete Sadeiko ... but now that he's back, the former Heisman Trophy winner says he's all about BUSINESS.

Ronda Rousey has come out of hiding with a bang -- surfacing at a Las Vegas gun store where she applied for a concealed carry permit ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The UFC superstar and her boyfriend, Travis Browne, hit up The Range 702 gun store on Sunday where our gun enthusiast witnesses at the store say Ronda took a special course required to get a concealed carry permit.

Once Ronda applies for the permit, it usually takes around 90 days before she'll get her card in the mail.

We're told Ronda did some shooting at the range -- which is also required for the test -- using a blue Glock 43 9mm pistol.

It's the first time we've seen Ronda out in public since her big loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.

Johnny Manziel says Twitter has been nothing but a "distraction" for him -- and that's why he deleted his account ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to focus on "bettering himself."

Manziel's account suddenly disappeared from the Twittersphere on Monday after the QB offered up some social media advice to President Donald Trump ... begging the question: What happened?!

We reached out to Johnny who explained, "Twitter has been nothing but a distraction for me. I've said all I can say."

"Now I need to shut the hell up and work on bettering myself and my situation."

As we've previously reported, Manziel says he's sober and working out again with the hopes of getting back to the NFL.

12:59 PM PT -- Pacman's lawyer Tim Schneider tells TMZ Sports he believes the NFL star was thrown out of the casino under suspicious circumstances.

Schneider says Pacman had been gambling loudly with friends for several hours -- and losing -- and the casino had no issue.

It was only when Pacman's luck began to change that his volume became a problem.

Schneider says when Pacman was asked to leave, he did so without incident and says, "No charges came about as a result of the incident."

Pacman Jones was kicked out of a Cincinnati casino for berating staffers and patrons in the hours before he was arrested at a Hyatt hotel on January 3 ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cincinnati PD has confirmed Jones was "acting disorderly" at JACK Cincinnati Casino and was asked to leave. Security and police escorted the NFL star out of the building.

One witness tells us Jones had verbally attacked employees at the casino and had an altercation with a casino patron who was trying to record the incident on his cell phone.

We're told Jones also went off on a police officer who responded to the scene and was "fired up" as he left the premises.

Of course, Jones later went to a nearby hotel where he was arrested for allegedly getting physical with a hotel security guard.

When cops arrived at the hotel, Jones continued his aggressive behavior and told the arresting officer "suck my d***" and "I hope you die."

Jones issued a statement saying he was embarrassed by the arrest video and is taking anger management courses.

We reached out to Jones' rep for comment about the casino incident -- so far, no word back.

It's not the first time Jones has been booted from a casino -- he was kicked out of the Hollywood Casino in Indiana in 2015 after going off on casino staffers.

President Donald Trump has a message to his friends, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods, who have been getting crap for their friendship with the Commander in Chief -- HATERS GONNA HATE!!!

Trump's mouthpiece, Kellyanne Conway, went on "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday and directly addressed the "blowback" that came after the QB defended his friendship with Donald on a radio interview.

"President Trump is just so grateful that friends like Tom Brady are loyal and can ignore the shrapnel, the verbal shrapnel," Conway said.

She also said Trump appreciates Patriots owner Robert Kraft -- calling him a "good friend ... a fabulous man and leader in this country."
