Former NFL superstar Albert Haynesworth dumped a bucket of ice cold water on a transient who posted up in front of his burger joint ... after the guy allegedly harassed several female patrons ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Haynesworth -- who famously signed a $100 million contract with the Redskins in 2009 -- now owns the BurgerFi restaurant in Knoxville, TN ... right near the University of Tennessee campus.

She already swam from Cuba to Florida ... and now super athlete Diana Nyad tells TMZ Sports she has a brand new goal -- she wants to pull a Forrest Gump and trek across the USA by foot!!

Nyad was out in L.A. on Monday where she's getting ready to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of her historic swim -- when she told us all about her big plans.

"I just decided ... two years from now, I'm going to walk across America ... and get 1 million people to do it with me!"

And what's her motivation? Diana says she wants to whip America's fat asses into shape!!!

Check out the clip!

Mario Andretti's Napa Valley winery was hit pretty hard by the 6.0 earthquake this weekend -- but TMZ Sports has learned the racing legend has already picked up the pieces and reopened his biz!

FYI -- The Andretti Winery is located just 6 miles from the epicenter ... and when the shaking began, hundreds of bottles went crashing to the floor. We're told the place lost about 30 cases in the quake.

But CEO Joe Antonini tells us ... they didn't sit around and feel sorry for themselves -- they cleaned up the winery and yesterday they reopened their doors -- "We're good to go!"

Other wineries in the area weren't so lucky -- with some businesses reporting HALF of their wine stock was lost in the quake.

As for Mario -- we're told in he was in the area during the shaking and later went to the winery to survey the damage ... but he's since returned home to Pennsylvania where the ground's a little more stable.

The entire L.A. Clippers squad got a helluva surprise at Jamal Crawford's wedding this weekend -- when Sir Mix-a-Lot hit the dance floor and busted out a live performance of "Baby Got Back!"

The whole thing was awesome -- besides the surprise performance, nearly the entire Clippers team flew in to Seattle to support their teammate ... from Blake Griffin to CP3 and Matt Barnes.

And the they weren't exactly wall-flowers ... all of the guys hit the dance floor HARD -- showing off their moves in a kick-ass reception that looked more like a scene out of a Hollywood nightclub!

Congrats!

Ex-MMA star War Machine took a stab at a porn career after he was kicked out of the UFC -- but was quickly blacklisted after beating up several porn people ... so says XXX star Brooke Haven.

Haven tells TMZ Sports ... she invited Mr. Machine to her birthday party back in 2009 after they performed a sex scene together.

But when he got to the party, Haven says someone hit on the fighter's date -- and things got violent ... quick.

According to Haven, Machine didn't just ruin the party -- he ruined his shot at a porn career ... because after the "massacre," no one wanted to work with the guy again.

Tampa Bay Buc rookie wide receiver Mike Evans was DETAINED by Miami Beach PD after a nightclub fight in March ... after he was KICKED OUT of the club ... cops tell TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... Evans -- the #7 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft -- was involved in an insane brawl outside Dream nightclub on March 15th ... and could be seen throwing punches at multiple people.

Now, the Miami Beach PD tells TMZ Sports ... the whole thing started after Evans was THROWN OUT of the club -- along with 2 other individuals.

You know you're a HUGE celebrity when ... an NYPD officer personally escorts you from the "Today" show to your waiting ride -- just like what happened with Little League phenom Mo'Ne Davis.

Mo'Ne and the rest of her Taney Dragons teammates were leaving the studio Monday morning and heading to the team bus when we noticed TWO people assigned to watch the 13-year-old's back -- one of whom was an NYPD cop.

After Davis and the squad got on the bus -- TMZ Sports spoke with the Dragons coach Leland Lott who told us he was proud of the ENTIRE squad and said they were on the way to celebrate with an MLB team.

So, what's next for Davis? Basketball -- another sport she dominates ... as seen in this ankle-breaking video from 2010.

The gas station robbery fight was NO FLUKE -- Mayura Dissanyake has serious MMA skills and he proved it in the ring last night by destroying his opponent in less than 20 SECONDS!!!

Of course, Dissanyake shot to fame last month when he beat the living crap out of 3 men who were trying to rob his co-worker at a gas station in Houston. Even UFC boss Dana White said he was impressed with Mayura's heroic actions.

Well, last night in Houston ... Mayura got in the ring for the first time since the incident -- and dominated his opponent Jamie Garcia in an amateur welterweight bout at Bayou City Events Center in Houston.

18 seconds. That's all it took.

"Each time I was punching, I was thinking about kicking him (while he was down)," Mayura tells TMZ Sports ... "but I had to stop myself. This isn’t the parking lot! It’s not a street fight!”

The 24-year-old -- who still works at the gas station -- says he's been in talks to train with Blackhouse MMA (Anderson Silva's gym) in California ... but so far no contract has been signed.

Kevin Durant has sworn off acting forever -- telling TMZ Sports even Shaq's critically-panned movie "Kazaam" was WAYYYY better than his 2012 flop "Thunderstruck."

Gotta respect the honesty.

Here's the deal ... Durant was leaving Benihana in Bev Hills (delicious hibachi shrimp btw) ... when we asked if he was ever gonna try to rebound from the debacle that was "Thunderstruck."

For the record -- "Thunderstruck" (like "Freaky Friday" with basketball powers) -- was a box office disaster ($587,211 domestic) ... especially compared to Shaq's 1996 classic ($18,937,262).

We also asked KD about the rumors he was trying to get out of his Nike contract -- but Durant was a little less forthcoming.

Two NBA superstars were at 1Oak nightclub right around the time Suge Knight was shot in a Hollywood nightclub early Sunday morning -- and TMZ Sports has the video.

Our photogs were rollin' as Denver Nuggets center JaVale McGee and L.A. Clippers star Glen "Big Baby" Davis walked up to the nightclub around 11:45 PM Saturday night ... just like any other night.

Big Baby got inside ... but the line proved to be too much for McGee and he decided to leave. Might have been the best decision he made all night.

Because 90 minutes later, gunshots rang out -- and as TMZ first reported, Suge Knight was shot multiple times.

Unclear if Davis was still in the club at the time of the shooting -- but we're guessing he was, since 1Oak was the place to be Saturday night ... with huge stars like Chris Brown, Tyson Beckford and more hanging inside the Sunset Strip club.

We're reaching out to try and get as much info as we can.

Stay tuned ...

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Alan Branch was locked up for DUI this weekend -- after cops say he was so drunk, he was PUKING out of the driver's side door of his car.

Branch -- who's entering his 6th year in the NFL -- was popped in upstate New York around 2am Saturday morning.

And if the alleged puking wasn't a dead sign of DUI, cops also say the 6'6", 325-pounder had a blood alcohol level of .14 ... almost TWICE the legal limit.

Green Bay Packers guard T.J. Lang says he's "shocked" by the horrific rape allegations against Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw ... telling TMZ Sports the two were best friends during their football days at Eastern Michigan.

As we previously reported, Holtzclaw -- a standout linebacker at EMU -- is accused of sexually assaulting at least 7 women during his late night shifts with the OCPD.

The woman responsible for the capture of War Machine says she's dying of cancer and has decided to pay the $20K reward forward.

Mary Casamento was staying at the same hotel where War Machine was hiding ... a fugitive from the law after allegedly brutally beating former GF Christy Mack.

Mary says she heard commotion and saw a woman run out of his room ... bloodied. She called cops who came and arrested him.

Mary scored a $20K reward -- $10K from Christy's family and an equal amount from "Pawn Stars" star Corey Harrison -- but she's not cashing in, because she already has enough to last her for the rest of her life. She's decided to give the dough to a Santa Clarita, CA battered women's shelter.

Give this woman a reward award.

Former UFC fighter Kyle Kingsbury needed post-MMA career guidance -- so he turned to an ancient hallucinogenic concoction to show him the way ... and it worked.

Kingsbury -- who famously flashed a pair of "Legalize Gay" undies before his July fight for "UFC On Fox" -- initially said he wanted to become a firefighter following his final bout.

But after the fight, Kyle still had some doubts -- so he turned to a shaman who brewed him up a cup of Ayahuasca ... a hallucinogenic herbal drink that people use to go on a vision quest.

And after a trippy ceremony ... with some vomiting ... Kyle came to a revelation -- he should open a gym in Costa Rica to share his fighting talents with others.

"I’m going to be doing what I love," Kingsbury says ... "lifting, fighting, being at a gym."

Kingsbury says he'll be taking his fiance and business partner along for the ride, and expects to have everything up and running by winter 2015.

His only fear -- "I’ve recently learned they have HUGE crocodiles so that’s a little scary."

Good luck!
