Terrelle Pryor knows he's the fastest QB in the NFL -- but the Seattle Seahawks star tells TMZ Sports he wants to be more than that ... he wants to be like Tom Brady.

Pryor was outside Hooray Henry's in Hollywood last night -- where he ran into a seemingly hammered Dennis Rodman -- before opening up about his NFL goals.

"I am the fastest QB ... but I wanna be more than that," Pryor told us ... "I wanna be great."

Pryor says he's busting his ass -- and studying guys like Tom Brady in the hopes of achieving his goal.

Dennis Rodman wants to make one thing clear ... he is 100% heterosexual -- but sober? That's not even 17% clear from this strange video of him out in West Hollywood last night.

Rodman was loitering chilling outside Hooray Henry's last night and chatting up an L.A. County Sheriff's deputy, a random dude, and chick ... who may or may not have been with Dennis.

When our camera guy opened with, "How you doing tonight?" -- The Worm responded, "I'm not gay." Dennis then starts rambling about all sorts of things ... law enforcement, quality of L.A. hospitals ... it's weird. He even goes back to the gay issue -- again, unprompted by anyone.

In case you forgot ... Rodman checked into rehab back in January after that whole North Korea debacle.

Lord Stanley's Cup went home with a bunch of the NHL Champion L.A. Kings to their neighborhood bar where it was immediately filled with ... a ton of M&Ms ... and TMZ Sports has the awesome video!!

Most of the Kings and the Stanley Cup arrived triumphantly at North End Bar & Grill in Hermosa Beach early this morning. In the video, Alec Martinez -- who shot the Cup-winning rebound shot -- helps fill the trophy with bag after bag of Plain, Peanut Butter, and of course Peanut (the best) M&Ms and then grabbed the first handful. There's a bunch of reasons why you do NOT want the last handful.

Not that hockey players are superstitious, but the Kings brought the Cup to the same bar hours after winning it 2 years ago.

We're told captain Dustin Brown, Matt Greene, Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, Jarret Stoll and Jonathan Quick -- to name a few -- all partied with their fans. It's unclear who got first crack at taking the Cup home when they finally left the bar around 4 AM.

If you're wondering ... someone did the math. The Cup can hold somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 M&Ms ... depending on flavor.

Burgers have been very, very good to Terrell Owens -- but how good? 5-FIGURES GOOD.

T.O. just filed new legal docs in his divorce from Rachel Snider -- the woman he married (and quickly left) earlier this year.

Owens was required to submit a document declaring his finances over the past year -- and the highlight is the payday he got from that Carl's Jr. burger commercial -- the one where he's surrounded by chicks in bikinis.

According to the document, T.O. says he raked in a cool $41,799 for appearing in the ad -- not a bad day at the office.

New details surrounding the death of former Cy Young award winner Bob Welch -- TMZ Sports has learned the MLB great's body was discovered in an empty bathtub in his home after family members called a neighbor to check up on him.

We obtained the 911 call placed by Bob's friend -- who said he was called to the house by family members who were worried that something was wrong.

When he arrived, the neighbor told 911 that Welch was in the tub -- which contained no water -- and he was unsure if Bob was still breathing.

Emergency personnel rushed to the scene and 57-year-old Welch was pronounced dead at the scene.

Self-proclaimed soccer fan Kobe Bryant was spotted in the stands at the Spain vs. Netherlands World Cup match in Brazil today ... taking in the game like every other non-world famous celeb in the building.

No word on who Bryant's pulling for ... but he was sitting next to a bunch of Spain fans.

It'll be interesting if Kobe runs into Team USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann during his time in Brazil -- since Klinsmann recently ripped the Lakers for giving Kobe a $48 million contract extension.

“This always happens in America. Kobe Bryant, for example -- why does he get a two-year contract extension for $50 million? Because of what he is going to do in the next two years for the Lakers?"

"Of course not. Of course not. He gets it because of what he has done before. It makes no sense. Why do you pay for what has already happened?"

Lookin' to work in a little shooting practice before next season, Clippers stars Matt Barnes and DeAndre Jordan took their talents to Six Flags yesterday ... for a 3-point shot challenge.

TMZ Sports has footage of Barnes stepping right up to the carnival-style game at Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA on Thursday ... firing away from outside the arc.

He didn't do too bad ... hitting 2 of 5 shots ... while the crowd, including DeAndre, cheered him on.

We're told DeAndre did some shooting himself and even won a water bottle as a prize.

The entire TMZ Sports newsroom just became fans of Team Mexico ... because every time the squad scores a goal, Playboy's 2013 Playmate of the Year is celebrating by bouncing around in a skimpy top.

Raquel Pomplun -- who was raised in Tijuana -- is live-cheering the game with Playboy and Hornitos tequila ... which basically means she quickly records a sexy video anytime Mexico does anything noteworthy.

Earlier today, Mexico scored its first goal of the World Cup against Cameroon ... and Pomplun went wild.

He can dance ... he can sing ... he can act ... and it turns out Justin Timberlake also happens to be a helluva golfer, too.

We spoke with LPGA star Natalie Gulbis ... who tells us when it comes to celebrity golfers, Timberlake is at the top of her list -- and she knows from experience.

One more thing -- Gulbis also happens to dabble in modeling ... doing the body paint thing for the 2012 S.I. Swimsuit Edition and posing in sexy bikini pics for a golf course photo shoot.

Wanna be an NBA coach? (we're lookin' at YOU Metta) ... well, you might wanna follow the Doc Rivers plan on how to bond with your players.

Step #1 -- Restaurant meetings.

Doc tells TMZ Sports he takes all of his players out to 1-on-1 meals at nice restaurants ... and despite the fact most of his players make WAY more money than he does, Doc always foots the bill.

In fact, we spotted Doc out on a restaurant meeting with Blake Griffin earlier this week -- and judging by the way they man-hugged on the way out, seems like it went well.

Metta World Peace is hoping his new gig as a high school women's basketball coach can help him achieve his ultimate goal ... coaching in the NBA ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Peace recently accepted a job as an assistant coach at Palisades High School in Southern California -- and head coach Torino Johnson tells us Metta is dead serious about the job.

In fact, Johnson says Metta first called him up to ask about working with the team YEARS AGO ... when Metta's daughter was playing for the squad.

Johnson says he didn't think Peace was serious at first -- but Metta stayed on him and followed up with an email expressing a very real interest in wanting to work the sidelines.

The two sat down and talked it out -- and Johnson says he was convinced Metta is the real deal ... saying, "He knows so much about the game."

As far as his ultimate goal, Johnson says Metta is gunning for the pros ... and he's got the basketball IQ to get there.

WWE legend Pat Patterson just revealed that he's been living in the closet for the past 50 years -- and has finally decided to go public about that fact he's a gay man.

The 73-year-old dropped the news on the finale of WWE Network's "Legends' House" ... saying, "For once in my life I'm going to be me now."

Patterson -- who's a WWE exec -- explained that he's been keeping the secret out of the public eye for 5 decades ... and had a partner for roughly 40 years, but he passed away after suffering a heart attack.

Patterson has been Vince McMahon's right hand man for decades ... he also was the company's first Intercontinental champion and helped create the "Royal Rumble."

OK, married fellas, it's officially time to step your game up ... 'cause NFL star Joe Haden just dominated the 2014 wedding anniversary season -- dropping crazy money on a SICK ride for his wife.

The Cleveland Browns superstar posted a picture to his Instagram of his wife Sarah (smokin' hot. Good work Joe) ... posing next to a pristine white Bentley GT Continental (price tag nearly 200,000 dollars) with the caption:

"I'm the worst at keeping surprises a serecet! So happy one year anniversary @sarah_haden I love u with all my heart enjoy the wheels baby!!! #bentleyGT"

Sarah was apparently pleased, cause she posted not one but TWO pictures of the car ... including one that revealed their anniversary is actually in couple of weeks, but Joe just couldn't wait to destroy the bell curve for husbands all over America.

A 100-year-old Babe Ruth baseball bat is about to hit the auction block ... after a Massachusetts family discovered the historic Louisville Slugger in their basement ... and it could rake in $500k.

Officials at Goldin Auctions tell TMZ Sports ... an antique hunter (also known as a "picker") asked the family if he could go through their old belongings ... and discovered a collection of what appeared to be old game-used bats from Red Sox players -- including the Sultan of Swat.

Goldin Auctions tells us ... the bats were authenticated through an independent firm -- that confirmed the Ruth bat was used sometime between 1916 and 1918.

Among the clues ... G.A. says the bat's size and weight match up with the ones he used at the time ... plus, the word "RUTH" is imprinted on the barrel.

The auction house says the bat also includes cleat imprints on the barrel "as Ruth always banged out his spikes on his bats' barrel."

Officials at Goldin Auctions -- which is putting the item up for bid on June 16th -- says it's expecting the bat to sell somewhere in the $350k to $500k range.

There have been rumors about the Bulls, the Lakers and the Heat -- but Carmelo Anthony tells TMZ Sports nothing is "legit" until a contract is SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED.

'Melo was leaving Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills last night when we asked about the latest rumor making the round -- that LeBron, Wade and Bosh would all take pay cuts to get him to Miami.

"I ain't hear about that one," a smiling Anthony said ... "That's a new one."
