The world nearly exploded when Jerry Jones had the opportunity to draft Johnny Manziel -- and passed -- but now the Dallas Cowboys owner tells TMZ Sports he thinks JM will dominate in CLE.

Jones was on a grocery run in Malibu (the team is training in SoCal) ... and we asked if he thinks the kid will be able to find success in a Cleveland Browns uniform.

It's clear Big Jer is a fan of Johnny Football -- telling us he's a "great player" ... which only makes us more curious as to why Jones didn't swoop him up when he had the chance.

Buff Bagwell in the Buff ... is what we think Vivid will title what could be his first XXX flick.

Buff -- who starred on "Gigolos" -- caught the eye of Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch, who calls a BB film an "absolute blockbuster."

Hirsch and Buff met recently to hammer out a deal ... and there was a third person in the room -- Buff's wife, Judy.

Judy has got to be the envy of every wild husband in America. In addition to flirting with porn, Buff has intimated he has sex with the women for whom he gigolos. And she's cool with that, too.

He won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics ... but Team USA sprinter Josh Mance says the real prize would be a date with his favorite porn actress -- the star of "Weapons of Ass Destruction 7."

The 22-year-old speedster was at LAX when he told us he's got a serious crush on Skin Diamond -- who's appeared in more than 139 films and won AVN awards for Best Oral and Best DP in 2014.

"She's killing the game right now," Mance tells TMZ Sports ... "She has this innocence to her."

No word if Miss Diamond is interested or not -- but we'll find out. In the meantime, check out the pics ...

With Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade leading the charge, the hipster look is taking over NBA fashion -- but are you fashion forward enough to tell the difference between a hoopster and a real life hipster???

Check out the gallery and give it a shot ... guaranteed you miss at least one. GUARANTEED!!

The semi-pro MMA fighter who beat the crap out of 3 would-be gas station robbers in Texas is being hailed as a hero ... by none other than UFC honcho Dana White.

The hero is Mayura Dissanyake -- who was working at Fuel Depot in Houston on July 10 when he saw 3 scumbags roll up on a co-worker who was returning from the bank.

Mayura -- a former MMA national champion in his native Sri Lanka -- jumped into action ... beating the living hell out of all three guys. It was frickin' AMAZING.

Now, he's getting the ultimate praise from Dana White -- who tells TMZ Sports he saw the footage and "I LOVE IT."

Young Money Entertainment is definitely in business with Cristiano Ronaldo ... this according to a rep for Lil Wayne's company ... who tells TMZ Sports they already have a project together set for this week.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Weezy is starting his own sports management company and Ronaldo is client numero uno.

Ronaldo tweeted that there will be NO changes to his current management team -- which we're told is partially true ... no one is getting fired. He's just adding Young Money to handle branding, marketing and other sports management issues in the United States.

In fact, a rep for Young Money tells us Wayne and Ronaldo are 100% working together.

Stay tuned ...

Happy time, people ... at least it was for "Pardon the Interruption" hosts Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser yesterday when they snuck in a full round of golf with PRESIDENT OBAMA!

The gang all met up at the Congressional Country Club in Bethseda, Maryland yesterday ... along with a White House aide (who completed the 4-some) ... and played the 90-year old course.

It's not the first time the Prez hooked up with the PTI gang for some golf -- last year, they played at the course at the Fort Belvoir military base in Virginia.

Former WWE tag team Crime Time says Daniel Bryan had every right to subdue one of the guys who broke into his home this week, and added … if it had been his crib, the thief would be dead.

Shad Gaspard and JTG were hanging out at Comic Con in San Diego when we asked them about the Thursday night break-in at former WWE champion Daniel Bryan's home.

Shad kept it simple saying, "If you step into my house, with my family you're dead. I don't care."

Lookin' for an adorable puppy? Happen to be a Redskins fan? Got $1,200 laying around? Then you can buy one of DeSean Jackson's adorable baby American bullies!

As we previously reported, Jackson is getting into the breeding business after his American Bully gave birth to 11 cute, cuddly puppies last weekend.

Jackson has teamed up with Wood Werk Kennels in Los Angeles -- and owner Josh tells TMZ Sports the NFL star's highest priority is making sure they get into good homes with good families.

We're told the pups have a pricetag of roughly $1,200 each -- due to the fact it's a rare breed that comes from good stock.

Josh tells us DeSean is super-involved and really enjoys working with the animals -- but gives the Kennel control over the sale of the dogs because ... well, DeSean already has a job.

The officer who arrested Justin Blackmon did NOT mistreat the NFL star during his marijuana arrest this week ... despite claims that the cop was "aggressive" ... this according to the Edmond PD.

After TMZ Sports posted the dash cam footage showing the Jacksonville Jaguars receiver's encounter with police on Wednesday ... the PD came under fire from people who claim the cop was a "bully" who "overreacted" during the incident in which Blackmon was handcuffed when cops suspected he had weed in the car (For the record, cops say they found 2 blunts).

But the Edmond PD is backing its guy -- telling TMZ Sports the officer "acted in compliance of and according to our policy in regards to how arrests are conducted."

"Placing someone in handcuffs in that situation is a safety issue not only for the officer, but the person involved who could react in a manner that would turn a minor violation into a felonious act."

The EPD notes that Blackmon was "fully cooperative and compliant throughout this incident."

The Jacksonville Jaguars are standing by Justin Blackmon -- with one teammate telling TMZ Sports, "No one in our building has given up on him."

After the 24-year-old wide receiver was arrested for weed possession this week -- his 3rd arrest in the past few years -- we spoke with Jags tight end Marcedes Lewis who says the guys in the locker room want to HELP their teammate.

"He just needs help," Lewis says ... "I want to let him know he has our support. He doesn't have to be embarrassed. We're here for him."

In fact, Lewis says Jags head coach Gus Bradley addressed the issue with the squad this week -- "Coach got up in front of the team [Thursday] and said, 'Look, we're not giving up on him.'"

Marcedes says several coaches and players -- including himself -- have tried to reach out to Blackmon since the arrest but haven't been able to get a hold of the WR.

Still, Lewis says he has a message for Blackmon -- come back to Jacksonville.

Forget your lame fantasy football draft, there's a better way to kick off the 2014 NFL season -- thanks to the Houston Texans cheerleaders, Puerto Rico ... and most of all BIKINIS.

The squad traveled to the beautiful beaches of PR to snap their new calendar -- and luckily for the world they brought cameras along to capture the hotness.

They dance. They twerk. They go down a waterslide for some reason. It's good.

4:30 PM PT: Daniel Bryan and his wife Brie spoke about the incident during a press conference ... and the wrestler said he sprung into action because he was worried about their dog, Josie, who was in the house.

The wrestling star says it wasn't difficult to subdue the burglar because the guy wasn't in great shape. However he wouldn't say if the thief was rendered unconscious.

Bryan also got incredibly emotional while talking about the bracelet his father gave him that the burglars attempted to steal.

Daniel Bryan is a bona fide bad ass ... chasing down a burglar on foot, then locking him in a submission hold until cops arrived.

Daniel and his wife Brie Bella had just come home Thursday night when they saw 2 men on their way out of their house. The burglars dropped the stuff they were stealing and hightailed it down the street.

D.B. gave chase ... the bad guys had a big head start but the champ caught up with one of them and locked him in a rear naked choke for 5 minutes until cops arrived.

Daniel's feat is all the more impressive because the guy he caught is facing kidnapping charges in another case.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... Daniel's wife Brie retrieved the loot the guys were in the process of stealing, including a bracelet that belonged to the wrestler's recently deceased dad.

The second guy is still on the loose, but there's one less bad guy on the streets, thanks to D.B.

YES! YES! YES!

Cops have finally identified the Cleveland Browns fan who peed on the grave of late Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell ... and now the case is the hands of the State Attorney ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The footage has been all over the Internet -- showing some pudgy dude in a Lyle Alzado jersey calling Modell a "piece of s**t" who tried to kill the Browns ... before taking a leak on his gravestone.

ESPN has a civil (and gender) war on its hands ... as "SportsNation" host Michelle Beadle has lashed out on Twitter at "First Take" host Stephen A. Smith for his comments about domestic abuse.

It began Friday morning when Smith, in the context of the NFL's suspension of Ray Rice, brought up the idea that there are things women can do to prevent themselves from becoming domestic violence victims.

Beadle, who revealed she was once in an abusive relationship, said she "would never feel clean again" after taking in Smith's comments. She wrote, "I'm thinking about wearing a miniskirt this weekend...I'd hate to think what I'd be asking for by doing so @stephenasmith. #dontprovoke"

She added, "Violence isn't the victim's issue. It's the abuser's. To insinuate otherwise is irresponsible and disgusting. Walk. Away."

For his part, Smith did apologize to Beadle and said he "could've been more articulate on the matter."

But he seemed to make the situation worse when he went on to say, "... What about addressing women on how they can help prevent the obvious wrong being done upon them? ... I was simply saying that preventive measures always need to be addressed because there's only but so much that can be done after the fact....once the damage is already done."

Oh, the damage is done alright.
