NFL star Richard Sherman is officially in the app business -- dropping a brand new word game called "Letters of Boom."

Sherman describes the app as an "action-oriented word game" ... where players try to rearrange letters and spell words as fast as they can. Also, stuff blows up.

"I've always loved word games, but there has never been anything out there that felt hard-hitting or extreme for me," Sherman said.

Sherman -- who provided voice-work on the game -- says the app also comes with an updated dictionary that includes "slang" and "swagger" words like "picksix."

He's not the 1st NFL star to get involved with apps ... former Indianapolis Colts defensive back Brandon King developed a game called "Smashman" earlier this year where a QB runs for his life from a defense.

FYI -- King's game had 2,000 downloads in its first week.

It's gonna be 75 degrees and sunny in Miami today. It was 74 degrees yesterday ... which is why Italian model Laura Cremaschi broke out the Daisy Dukes for a nice beach workout.

Crunches. Jump squats. Tire drag. Awesome.

Stephen Jackson's estranged wife says there's an innocent victim in her divorce from the ex-NBA star ... her Bentley ... which she claims Stephen sold off behind her back just to piss her off.

In some super bitter legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Renata White Jackson claims she filed for divorce from Jackson in 2013 ... and says both sides were instructed not to get rid of any major assets until the court could divide them up.

But according to Renata, Jackson wasn't having it ... and on October 9, 2014, he stole the keys to her Bentley and sold it off behind her back.

Then, Renata says Jackson taunted her about the sale in a text that read, "Clearly u make a lot of decisions without me. So I sold [the Bentley] for what I pay for it. U can get something else."

He continued ... "I will spend it all before I let u take it and spend it on another n**ga or bitch."

"I worked to [sic] hard and give u to [sic] much to be treated like a guest and not a man. F*k [sic] dat. I will get to the bottom of all this disrespect. I'm wit the bulls**t."

Now, Renata claims Jackson should BE THROWN IN JAIL until Stephen forks over her share of the profit from the sale of the Bentley.

Celeb attorney Marvin Solomiany, who is representing Jackson, tells TMZ Sports, "There is a valid prenuptial agreement that both parties agree is enforceable. While we’d like to keep these matters private, our client denies any allegations that he’s acted contrary to the terms of the party’s prenuptial agreement."

Steve Young ... Jerry Rice ... Teri Hatcher -- they ALL have rings from Super Bowl XXIX -- even though one of them wasn't actually on the team.

The former "Lois & Clark" star WAS a cheerleader for the 49ers back in 1984 ... but in the video, she explains why she was allowed to enjoy the spoils of victory when the team beat the Chargers 10 years later.

FYI -- Teri just returned from NY where she gave a speech to the U.N. about eliminating domestic violence -- and encouraged people to wear orange ... the official color to unite women against D.V.

Snoop tells TMZ Sports ... his high school superstar son has NOT decided on where he's gonna play his college football ... but USC hurt its chances after the way the Trojans played against UCLA.

"He'll make his decision ... but like I'll say, that loss right there gon' hurt. Because nobody wanna go to no school that can't beat their rivals."

It's not all chaos and violence in Ferguson -- there are scores of good people hitting the streets to help repair and rebuild after last night's unrest ... and NFL legend Aeneas Williams is leading the charge.

We spoke with the Hall of Famer on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" ... and he told us that people from all walks of life, all races, all religions were joining him as he helped to board up windows, fix buildings and help the small business owners who were hit.

"I cant overemphasize ... so many volunteers that were out there ... and it was COLD this morning ... but it did not matter because the warmth was coming from inside each and every one of us."

Aeneas says he's working with groups to help make sure there's no repeat performance of the destruction tonight ... but is calling on authorities to step up and keep the peace.

There's a heavy police presence at the St. Louis Blues hockey game Tuesday night -- with officials making sure fans feel safe amid the insanity in neighboring Ferguson ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with staffers at the Scottrade Center -- who tell us there is "about double" the amount of security at the arena ... most of which are off-duty cops privately hired to work the event.

It's the first major sporting event in the area since the grand jury in the Mike Brown case announced it would not be indicting Officer Darren Wilson.

FYI -- there are roughly 2,200 National Guard troops in Ferguson to help maintain the peace.

Don't forget, there were clashes outside of the St. Louis Cardinals games back in October when protesters and Cards fans faced off over the issue.

An angry black man is suing Donald Sterling ... claiming he tried to sleep tight in one of Donald's L.A. apartment buildings ... only to have the bedbugs bite!

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, Darryl Williams says he was living in an apartment in Donald's Reno Country Club building a while back when the bedbugs took over.

Williams says he complained to management about the problem ... but Donald's company blew him off because he's black ... and we all know how Sterling feels about black people.

Darryl claims his family was not only forced to "suffer from the infestation" -- but they were eventually EVICTED from the property.

Richard Sherman slammed NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the massive fine he dropped on Marshawn Lynch for not talking to the media ... by accusing the league of being two-faced.

Seattle Seahawks Sherman and Doug Baldwin (hiding behind a cardboard cutout of himself) held a pretty shocking news conference today where they openly mocked the league policy forcing players to talk to reporters. The duo talked excessively, but only about things the league does NOT want them discussing.

They shouted out personal sponsors -- including Beats by Dre -- which the league banned players from wearing on gameday because of a deal with Bose. Then Sherman went nuclear, calling out the league for saying it's dedicated to "player safety" ... while making them play 2 games within 5 days.

A blatant shot at Thursday night games.

Aeneas Williams -- one of the best defensive players in NFL history -- is hitting the streets of Ferguson ... helping to repair the city one shattered window at a time.

The Hall-of-Famer -- who's also a pastor in St. Louis -- rounded up a crew of people and is boarding up some of the windows that were smashed during the melee last night.

"Love Never Fails! Love is an ACTION WORD! I SEE A LOT OF LOVE HERE IN FERGUSON," Williams tweeted.

"After all the finger pointing is done, my [question] is what are we going to do now? Answer LOVE."

Former Washington Redskins corner back Fred Smoot claims his "disgruntled" ex-girlfriend concocted domestic violence allegations against him in retaliation for him ending their relationship.

Smoot's lawyer tells TMZ Sports the ex "has elected to engage in a campaign to defame Fred and ruin him both personally and professionally."

The lawyer says Smoot broke things off with his accuser a month ago and that's why she made up this story.

Three Dallas Cowboys legends are back on the same sideline ... rooting on their daughters who all play in the same elite youth soccer league ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett and Charles Haley -- together they have 9 Super Bowls, 17 Pro Bowls and 2 Hall of Fame busts -- and they get together every weekend as soccer dads.

"[Our daughters] are out there ballin', Dorsett tells us ... "The apples don't fall far from the tree."

Tony -- who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in '94 -- says his daughter plays on the same team with Haley's kid ... and even though Emmit's daughter plays on another squad, "They go head to head sometimes."

"When we're together, we talk about football. It's not usually about the old days. We talk about what's going on in the league now," Dorsett says.

Tony says the guys are all very supportive of each other's kids -- "All of the girls are very talented" -- but says Charles' daughter is a star among stars.

Michael Jordan might just be the Magic Johnson of the holiday season 'cause His Airness was assisting hunger left and right earlier Tuesday ... passing out Thanksgiving meals to needy families.

Jordan and his Charlotte Hornets team -- including big man Al Jefferson partnered with Food Lion and soldiers from Ft. Bragg to hand out 1,000 turkey day meals at their annual "Cornocopia" feast in Charlotte Tuesday.

What's on the menu when Jordan is serving? Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, mac & cheese, cranberry sauce with a two-liter bottle of Sprite for every meal.

No Gatorade, Ball Park Hot Dogs or McDonalds? Mike must really be feeling the holiday spirit.

10:45 AM PT -- TMZ Sports obtained the police report which shows cops were called to Smoot's residence around 11 AM.

Smoot's GF told police Smoot pushed her against the wall in their bathroom when she tried to grab the keys to his truck so she could drive it to work.

The GF says, "He scratched her on the knuckle and the stomach."

She also claims Smoot "grabbed her shorts and ripped them."

The responding officer noted that the GF has "minor marks to the knuckle and stomach. Her shorts were ripped in the crouch [sic] area."

We spoke to the GF who tells us, "He came through the door after me and ripped my boxer shorts."

The GF says she ran outside the home and tried knocking on neighbor's doors -- but no one answered. Eventually she claims she got back in her house and called cops and hid in a closet until police arrived.

After the cops arrived, the GF says she went to Smoot's truck and found a half-empty box of condoms ... and believes that's why he was trying to keep her out of the car.

We spoke with a rep for Smoot who told us the ex-NFL has no comment and wants the legal process to run its course.

The 35-year-old cornerback -- who finished his career with the Washington Redskins -- was arrested for misdemeanor simple assault.

The alleged victim has posted photos on social media showing cuts to her upper lip and bruises to her arm she says she sustained from multiple incidents. She also claims to have requested a restraining order against Smoot.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... Smoot was arraigned this morning and was released on $2,500 bond.

Story developing ...

There will be no MEGA-FIGHT between Charles Barkley and DeMarcus Cousins ... so says Kenny "The Jet" Smith ... who tells TMZ Sports the guys were "just playing" when they threatened to destroy each other.

Here's the thing ... it didn't seem very playful when DeMarcus blasted Charles earlier this month -- when he said he has "no respect for Sir Charles because of the way Barkley criticized him when he was a high schooler.

And it didn't seem like Charles was playin' when he said he'd beat the crap out of DeMarcus if push ever comes to shove.

But Kenny -- Barkley's "Inside the NBA" co-star -- insists it's all just fun and games.

Torrey Smith is on a mission to make his son the next Gerber Baby ... entering the 7-month-old into the official Gerber competition -- and he's already got celebrity support.

The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver and his wife Chanel entered little Torrey Jeremiah (aka TJ) into the Gerber "Be Our Baby" photo search ... where TJ will battle it out with tykes from across the country.

The competition closes on December 14 ... and the winner gets $5,000!

Chanel says it's not about the money for them -- "I just want TJ in a Gerber commercial 😂😂 that little face belongs somewhere!"

She adds, "If TJ wins we plan to give half of the money to a children's charity and the other half would go to TJs college fund."
