NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch is clearly not worried about the Ebola scare in Dallas -- telling us the G-Men have nothing to worry about when they head to Big D to play the Cowboys later this season.

Tisch was leaving Dan Tana's restaurant in West Hollywood last night when we brought up the efforts to contain the virus after officials confirmed that it had reached Dallas.

"I think the Cowboys are gonna get it first," Tisch joked ... clearly not worried about a possible "Outbreak" style epidemic.

Tisch then started down a path to crack a joke about Jerry Jones ... but stopped himself.

So we finished it.

Stop panicking.

Don't drop Tom Brady from your fantasy team.

Don't do it.

So says Dean Cain.

Matthew McConaughey crashed the University of Texas football practice this week -- and tried to pump the guys up with the CHEST THUMP from "The Wolf Of Wall Street."

Head Coach Charlie Strong invited Matt to practice -- since he's one of the Longhorns' most famous fans -- and with the team all gathered around, the Oscar winner did his best Vince Lombardi.

"Ask yourself, Why do I play this game?" McConaughey said ... "I've found that when I've done my best work as an actor, it was only when I pushed myself to be better than I even thought."

Matt took questions from the team ... (someone asked him about his favorite movie he ever made) ... and then he led the guys in the famous W.O.W.S. chest thump.

He also explains how he came up with the chest thump ... and why he decided to use it with that other actor from the "Wolf" scene ... some guy named Leonardo DiCaprio.

Move over Tupac and Biggie ... sit down Tara Reid and Paris Hilton ... a new celebrity beef has kicked off between "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Jeff Garlin and NFL Hall-of-Famer Warren Sapp and it's well, really, really, weird.

Garlin, who currently stars in "The Goldbergs" on ABC, appeared on "Sway In The Morning" and trashed Sapp saying Warren PHYSICALLY THREATENED and "bullied" him when they met in an airport some time ago.

Here's the twist ... Sapp was the next scheduled guest on Sway's radio show -- and when Sway asked him about the beef, Warren told a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT version of the airport story!

Warren told Sway he also remembers the encounter ... but he makes Garlin out to be an obsessed fanboy and called upon Jeff to "stop the lying."

So, who's telling the truth??? Check out the clip ... then pick a side!!

We're finally getting the details from Keyshawn Johnson's super secret wedding ... which included $6,500 designer shoes, a complete cell phone ban ... and dinner at a steak joint owned by an NHL God.

Here's the deal ... the ex-NFL star tied the knot with longtime GF Jennifer Conrad in August during a 4-day oceanfront celebration in Newport Beach, CA.

The highlights ...

-- Welcome dinner at Selanne Steak Tavern ... owned by NHL great Teemu Selanne
-- Bride rocked $6,500 Louboutin shoes with Swarovski crystals
-- Wedding ceremony took place at the St. Regis hotel near Newport Coast
-- 6 security guards took cell phones during the ceremony & reception
-- Wedding cake was a mix of Oreo cookie cheesecake and red velvet

But the best part ... the day after the wedding, Key and Mrs. Key hosted a poolside brunch at a home in Newport Coast WITH A TACO STAND!

Just gimme the damn hot sauce!

Former NFL wide receiver Reche Caldwell now admits he shipped and received more than a kilo of molly through the mail -- and he's facing SERIOUS jail time for it.

Caldwell pleaded guilty Wednesday in Tampa to possession and intent to sell a huge stash of ecstasy pills, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Prosecutors say the plea was part of a deal Caldwell hammered out with them -- but details of the deal were not immediately released.

As we told you ... Caldwell was busted in May for trying to send 2 separate packages in the mail filled with the party drug. The ex-Chargers, Patriots, and Redskins player faces up to 20 years in federal prison. That's the max, but considering he worked out a deal ... that seems unlikely.

Donald Sterling and V. Stiviano reunited at his Beverly Hills mansion today -- and when Donald's wife found out ... she called police, trying to get V. arrested ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Shelly Sterling got wind of Donald and V.'s tryst ... and believed Stiviano must have broken into the house. Our Sterling sources tell us Shelly called Bev Hills PD immediately and reported a break-in.

We're told police officers responded ... and spoke to Donald and Stiviano. One source tells us V. was an "invited" guest, so ... no break-in, and no arrests.

Shelly has beef with V. ... She sued the alleged mistress, claiming she embezzled $1.8 mil from Donald ... and Shelly says half of that was hers. Shelly claims V. swindled an old man who wasn't with it.

Cops tell us V. wasn't scared off ... she stayed after they left.

Aries Spears says he doesn't expect to return to ESPN after cracking a gay joke about Michael Sam live on "SportsNation."

The comedian was sitting on a panel with Michelle Beadle and Marcellus Wiley when he brought up Sam -- the first openly gay football player in the NFL.

"I went out and got my first Michael Sam jersey," Spears said ... "It's got 15 S's on the back."

Beadle shot him a cold stare. Wiley told him, "You ain't right."

He's raged across the globe -- from Vegas to North Korea -- but Dennis Rodman still can't hang with the big boys when it comes to partying ... so says rock legend Tommy Lee.

The Motley Crue drummer was out in Calabasas this week when we asked if there was ever an athlete who could keep up with him when it came to getting wild ... but Lee was clear, the answer is no.

"They don't really party like we do," Lee said.

Sounds like a challenge ...

The Kansas City Royals could be the key to stopping crime in Kansas City ... because criminal activity was actually DOWN in K.C. during last night's big playoff game ... cops tell TMZ Sports.

We spoke with Sgt. Darin Snapp of the Kansas City Police Dept. who says the unbelievable 12 inning battle between the Royals and the Oakland A's may have actually deterred the bad guys for a night.

"We ran the last 4 Tuesdays and last night was the slowest night as far as calls to service," Sgt. Snapp says ... adding, "Everybody was happy and getting along and watching the game."

The cops were especially thrilled with the situation ... considering the KCPD had tweeted out to the city earlier, "We really need everyone to not commit crimes and drive safely right now. We'd like to hear the @Royals clinch this."

Brett Favre wants to make sure men are properly groomed ... where it counts ... as part of a new ad campaign we can't believe he agreed to do.

Plus, more details on Michael Strahan's first movie role as a male stripper.

And KC Chiefs superstar Tamba Hali tells us what it was like to terrorize Tom Brady!!

Make sure to check out the brand NEW episode of "TMZ Hollywood Sports" on Reelz -- every weekday at 8pm ET, 5pm PT.

The Darren Sharper alleged rape scandal is getting the TV treatment -- with a little Ray Rice mixed in -- because "Law & Order: SVU" is ripping both headlines for a sports scandal themed episode.

The episode -- which airs tonight -- features a major sports star accused of drugging and raping multiple women ... a la the accusations levied against former NFL star Darren Sharper.

Clearly, they are changing the names of the characters ... but it's clear, producers are using the Sharper case as the basis for the ep.

But here's where it gets bizarre ... producers are heavily promoting a controversial "elevator scandal" involving the sports hero ... which seems like a obvious take from the Ray Rice situation.

Only in the preview clip for the episode, a woman is attacking the sports star ... the reverse of what happened in real life with Ray.

Screw Ebola, Cuba Gooding Jr. has clearly been infected with another troubling ailment ... BIEBER-ITUS ... 'cause the Oscar winner can't seem to keep his shirt on these days.

Cuba was leaving Cafe Habana in Malibu Tuesday when we asked about his recent topless hockey celebration -- when he ripped off his top moments after scoring a mid-ice shot during an NHL shooting challenge.

Cuba's explanation? THAT'S HOW HE DO!!!

... and then he ripped off his shirt again.

Bieber-itus ... it's spreading.

Golf Channel star Win McMurry went out hunting for elk this week ... and clearly, she came out ahead.

McMurry -- who anchors "PGA Tour Primetime" -- rolled out to Cody, Wyoming for a big game hunt and took down a mighty 12-point elk ... then posed with her trophy.

The 31-year-old, who hails from North Carolina, is an avid hunter and outdoorswoman -- and judging from her Instagram page, she seems pretty damn handy with a bow and arrow.

She's also pretty handy with a bikini.

Two hot, young chicks strapped on boxing gloves ... in bikinis ... and went at it INSIDE a Miami nightclub to celebrate Andre Berto's 31st bday ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The 2-time welterweight champ turnt all way up Mokia Lounge in Miami Beach recently -- alongside big stars like MLB pitcher Aroldis Chapman and fellow boxer Adrien Broner.

The scene was crazy ... huge bottle of champagne, scantily clad women, fancy cake -- and Berto tells TMZ Sports the whole thing was "epic!"

"We partied all night! That s**t was nuts!"

Happy bday!

Michael Phelps had just finished up an 8-hour gambling session at a Baltimore casino before he was popped for DUI early Tuesday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to our casino sources, Phelps hit up the Horseshoe Casino around 5pm Monday afternoon ... and sat in a private VIP gambling room for hours ... finally leaving around 1am.

We're told Phelps was playing blackjack ... though it's unclear if he also played other card games that night. There have been several reports that he's big into poker.

Clearly, Phelps had been drinking inside the casino ... we're told his booze of choice was beer ... and when he was pulled over around 1:40am, it was just a few miles from the casino.

We're told Phelps is a regular at the casino ... in fact, he was just there last month playing poker.

We reached out to Phelps for comment -- so far, no dice.
