NFL Owner Art Modell Grave Urinator Charged
The Cleveland Browns fan who pissed on Art Modell's grave has been ID'd by cops and charged for the crime.
The suspect is 61-year-old Paul S. Serbu from Ohio. Last month, Serbu posted a video on YouTube of himself urinating on Modell's grave site in Maryland.
Of course, Modell owned the Browns from 1961 until 1996 ... when he moved the team to Baltimore and they became the Ravens. So, there's your motive.
Serbu's been charged with disorderly conduct in a cemetery ... a misdemeanor. His court date is set for February. He faces up to 2 years in jail.
Paul George Check Out My Amazing New Ferrari ... That I Can't Drive
Paul George sadly showed off his sick new Ferrari on Instagram Tuesday -- which, of course, he can't drive -- but TMZ Sports has learned George was originally supposed to get the car the night he suffered that horrific broken leg. Double ouch!
The folks at RoadStarr Motorsports tell TMZ Sports ... they had to customize George's Ferrari 458 Spider with a "big man conversion" to fit someone of George's height ... 6'9".
George's ride was also upgraded with an all-new sound system. In addition, George customized the wheels, lights, roof and all the logos and emblems on the car ... all in black.
The car goes from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and cost around $370,000.
Get well soon, Paul. But in the meantime ... can we borrow your car?

Michael Beasley Rental Porsche 911 Gets Repo'd
It takes a special kind of knucklehead to get a rental car repossessed ... and NBA player Michael Beasley is just that knucklehead.
TMZ Sports obtained pics of Beasley's rented Porsche 911 getting hooked up to a tow truck Tuesday at his West Hollywood hotel. Technically, it's not a repo ... since Beasley was only renting -- but the bottom line is he failed to return it to Hertz at LAX, so they came and got it.
According to our sources ... Beasley picked up the car on July 22 and was supposed to bring it back on July 26, but obviously never did. We're told Beasley's total bill is $1,744.34.
Beasley's a free agent who recently worked out for the Lakers -- and you can see the car's trunk was filled with size 16 shoes. We're told the repo guy was nice enough to remove the kicks and leave 'em with the hotel valet.
That hertz.

Delonte West I Didn't Name My Son After Me Because of the LeBron James Rumor
Former NBAer Delonte West is part of the most infamous rumor perhaps in all of sports history ... and he says that is the reason he didn't name his son after him.
For the uninformed ... back in 2010, in the middle of the NBA playoffs, a rumor emerged saying that Delonte had sex with LeBron James' mother Gloria. There was never any proof, but LeBron played so poorly once the rumor came to light ... it never fully died.
In an interview with Vice Sports, West says avoided naming his son after him because he didn't want him to be tagged with the LeBron rumor all his life.
The greatest rumor ever lives on ...

Michael Strahan & Nicole Murphy Breakup Announcement Triggered By 'Proof' Of Other Woman
Nicole Murphy decided to tell the world she had broken up with Michael Strahan -- right when he was entering the Hall of Fame -- because that's when she "confirmed" he was unfaithful.
A source close to the couple tells TMZ ... Nicole first got wind Michael might be dating another woman in early July and started investigating ... the way scorned women do. We're told she was finally convinced it was true on Friday and immediately decided to go public.
The source did not know the nature of Nicole's proof.
We're told Nicole insists her timing wasn't out of revenge, rather a total coincidence because that's when she knew for sure. It just happened to come precisely when Michael was getting the greatest honor of his career.
Other sources tell us Nicole and Michael have been broken up for several weeks -- and, in fact, their bi-coastal relationship has been on and off for almost 2 years ... since Michael took the 'Live' gig.
Ultimately this may come down to that old "Friends" theory -- but we're told Nicole definitely did NOT think they were "on a break."
Reps for Michael and Nicole have not responded to calls for comment.
Katt Williams Blasts Shaq ... Stay Out Of Comedy!
Katt Williams is mad as hell -- again -- and this time he's taking aim at Shaquille O'Neal for jumping into the world of comedy ... which Williams says he's got NO BUSINESS doing.
Our photog asked Katt who is the funniest athlete -- and he launched into a rant about Shaq and his "All Star Comedy Jam" on Showtime. Katt even kept the bus in reverse to roll over Russell Simmons and the famous "Def Comedy Jam" too.
The clip is classic Katt -- he's not impressed by their millions -- and after ripping Shaq and Russell, he still had enough venom left to spit a major jab at Kevin Hart ... who is at least in Katt's weight class.
Phoenix Sun P.J. Tucker Gets Three Days in Jail For Extreme DUI
Phoenix Suns forward P.J. Tucker will do three days in jail and 11 days of home detention after pleading guilty to "super extreme" DUI.
Tucker was arrested on May 10 in Scottsdale, AZ and police say he had a blood alcohol level of .22 -- more than THREE times the legal limit -- which explains the slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and nearly falling over during his sobriety test ... as the arresting officer reported.
Tucker will also have an interlock device on his car for 18 months, undergo substance abuse counseling, and pay $2,750 in fines.
He was also placed on probation for up to five years.

Nick Young NASCAR Became a Sport?
Lakers star Nick Young just stepped on the same landmine that blew up in Donovan McNabb's face -- questioning whether NASCAR deserves to be called a sport.
Swaggy P was answering a simple enough question -- we asked him which sport is most affected by rain. Nick could have just said softball ... he was in the middle of a rain delay at a celeb game, anyway.
Instead he went and said this.
Someone get 5-time Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson on the horn ... we've got a new passenger for him.
Then again ... maybe you agree with Swaggy.

Anthony Anderson Only True Pros Can Golf Off My Penis!!
Anthony Anderson has some sage advice for anyone (idiots) looking to get a golf ball tee'd off their no-no special place ... leave it to the pros.
The "Eating America" host was at LAX this weekend when he told TMZ Sports the reason he agreed to participate in the stunt was because the guy holding the golf club was a professional ... unlike the infamous video of a Playboy playmate getting her butt severely bruised by some amateur.
But Anderson revealed to our photog that after he was on the receiving end of the golf shot ... he took a swing off the other guy's nether regions.
We'll let him explain how it went.

Chris Webber First Surfing Lesson We're Gonna Need a Bigger Board!
NBA legend Chris Webber got his first surf lesson Monday morning, and most importantly ... he actually survived, because he tells TMZ Sports it was "one of the toughest things" he's ever done.
Webber says he randomly met pro surfer Pascal Stansfield while on vacay in Cabo San Lucas, and joked about surfing ... not knowing Stansfield was a pro. Next thing ya know, he's in the middle of a 20-minute first timers sesh.
C-Webb says he did manage to get up on his board multiple times, but never rode a full wave. He added, "I am just so glad there wasn’t a video of me crawling out the water because that was tough."
He's being a little tough on himself -- it's not everyday you see a 6'11" guy shredding waves.
But Chris says he'll definitely surf again -- with a bigger board -- but does worry sharks could get the wrong idea. "I just hope a shark doesn't think I am this big black ass seal because I am long and dark."

Reche Caldwell Ex NFL WR Busted for Marijuana Possession
Former Tampa Bay Bucaneer Reche Caldwell was busted Sunday in Tampa, FL after cops found weed in his pocket ... which police say he told them "he would have eaten" if he knew it was there.
According to Tampa PD, Caldwell was pulled over Sunday afternoon after cops spotted him running through a stop sign. Once police ran Caldwell's license, they found his license had been suspended ...
which Caldwell claimed he was unaware of.
Police say that while they searched Caldwell, they found a small amount of marijuana in his right front pocket. When asked about the weed, Caldwell told police, "I would have eaten it had I known it was there."
Caldwell was eventually charged with felony possession and driving with a suspended license. He was booked and released.
This is Caldwell's second drug bust in the last few months. Back in May, he was arrested for trying to sell ecstasy.

WWE Superstar Randy Orton Bashed For Calling Fan 'Latino Ms. Piggy'
The woman snapped a pic with Orton Sunday afternoon in Texas and then posted it online. But Orton tweeted the same photo shortly after to his girlfriend with a pretty mean caption.
"Look @kimklro I met the Latino Ms. Piggy today at the gym. I wish you were there to have a good laugh with me! #MsPig"
Turns out there's some serious beef between the fan and Orton's girlfriend ... a few months ago the wrestler blocked her on Twitter for sending harassing messages to his girlfriend.
She also tweeted saying he was a douche when they took the photo.
Some wrestling fans were still pissed however ... for example, "I lost all respect I had for @RandyOrton after reading that last tweet. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Still, we gotta ask ...

Tony Parker Wedding SeaWorld Trip Before Saying 'I Do'
NBA star Tony Parker went for a wild ride this weekend ... and that's BEFORE he even got married ... as TMZ Sports has learned he took his wedding guests to SeaWorld before the big day.
According to our sources, Tony and wife Axelle Francine had about 140 guests for the wedding ... with a fair majority of them coming from Europe (they are both French). We're told most of Tony's Spurs teammates and some of his French national teammates were in attendance.
The wedding crew hit up SeaWord San Antonio on Thursday and the couple hosted a pool party at their house Friday ... before tying the knot Saturday.
As for a parting gift, our sources say guests received a gift bag full of local Texas swag.
Considering Tony just signed a fat new contract with the Spurs, we're guessing that bag was pretty awesome.

Ray J Plows Gilbert Arenas' Fiancee at Charity Softball Game
10:15 AM PT -- Upon further review of the video ... the 3rd baseman is Laura Govan, Gilbert Arenas' fiancee. Apparently Ray J forgot about Gilbert's love for guns.
Ray J plays to win ... just ask the poor woman who got knocked on her rear end during a charity softball game this weekend.
It all went down at NBA star JaVale McGee's 1st Annual JugLife Celebrity Softball game on the UCLA campus. Ray J was trying to stretch a double into a triple and instead of sliding ... he ran right through the girl playing third base. You gotta watch to see if she hangs on for the put out.
At least it was for a good cause -- a program to get clean drinking water in Uganda. Although, we doubt Ray's play had any impact on how much water gets there.
We haven't seen Ray J bang a woman this hard since ... yeah, that chick.
