UPDATE 3:00 PM PT -- The hearing has ended and Winston has left. His attorney told reporters as they left the whole situation was "a nightmare." According to ESPN, two of Winston's teammates, Chris Casher and Ronald Darby, refused to testify.

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has arrived to the FSU campus for his Student Conduct Code hearing ... where he will face off with the woman who accused him of sexual assault.

The hearing is taking place before a former Florida Supreme Court chief justice -- and if Winston is found in violation of the Student Conduct Code stemming the alleged sexual assault in 2012, he could be expelled from the school.

Winston arrived to campus with his attorney David Cornwell. The accuser has also arrived to the hearing with her legal team.

Winston's attorney told the media the QB intends to "end this process today" ... adding, "Jameis will tell the truth and we are confident that Justice Harding, when he hears her multiple lies and Jameis' truth, will find as every other entity has to this point, that she is lying."

The accuser's attorney also issued a statement ... saying, "Neither Jameis Winston nor his lawyer can stop what is coming."

Winston was not charged with a crime following a criminal investigation into the incident -- with the FL State attorney general citing a lack of evidence.

The Los Angeles Kings were hit with a $100,000 fine by the NHL for letting suspended defenseman Slava Voynov practice with the team, one day after he pled not guilty to domestic violence charges.

According to a statement released by the NHL, the Kings violated the terms of Voynov's suspension by allowing him to skate Tuesday during a club practice. The statement read, "Such activity is in direct contravention of the terms of the suspension ... which permit Mr. Voynov to use club facilities and work with team personnel, but prohibit his participation in any team-related functions or activities."

We reached out to the team for comment on the fine ... so far, no word back.

As TMZ Sports previously reported, the 24-year-old was arrested on October 20 after allegedly beating up his wife -- causing injuries to her eyebrow, cheek and neck.

Ever wanted to know what the inside of Tony Hawk's thigh looks like? Well, now you can 'cause he RIPPED HIS LEG OPEN during a crazy skate accident in New Orleans.

The details surrounding the accident are unclear -- but here's what we know ... THERE WAS A GIANT BLOODY HOLE IN TONY'S LEG!!!!!

The good news ... he's been stitched up and even gave the ol' thumbs up sign to the camera.

He also tweeted, "Living the dream! (but today kinda sucked)"

The Ohio State University wrestling team has decided to pay tribute to former teammate Kosta Karageorge by putting his initials on their singlets next season ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Karageorge's body was found near the OSU campus on Sunday -- and officials says it appears he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The 22-year-old wrestler and football player had a history of concussions.

We spoke with Ohio State University wrestler Josh Fox who tells us Kosta was beloved by his teammates -- which is why they've decided to put "KK" on their singlets to honor him next season.

"He was the kind of guy that if you were in a brawl, he would be the last one standing because he refused to quit or give up," Fox says.

Well, this will end well ... Webbie is CALLING OUT 50 Cent in a new song, saying if Fif doesn't cough up the million bucks they bet on a boxing match earlier this year ... Webbie's gonna come take it.

We broke the story ... Webbie claims he and 50 made a not-so-friendly ONE MILLION DOLLAR wager on the Terrence Crawford vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa fight back in June.

Crawford -- Webbie's BFF -- ko'd Gamboa, who is managed by 50. But when it was time to pay up, Webbie says 5-0 was a no show.

Now its seems Webbie has had enough of 50's Aaron Rodgers routine, and is lashing against the G Unit general in a new song called "What I Been Thru."

During the track Webbie attacks 50, calling him a "b*tch" and adding "You owe me a million, don't make me come get it, I'm telling you I'm serious."

He then invites 50 to engage in an adult activity involving his genitals.

As for 50, he's not usually one to back down from a feud -- just ask Floyd Mayweather -- so, keep a close eye on this one.

NHL legend Gordie Howe has suffered a major stroke ... and is currently being treated in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Lubbock, TX ... this according to his son.

The 86-year-old Hall of Famer has been experiencing ministrokes for the past several months ... and had been recovering from a more serious stroke he suffered on October 26th.

Howe had regained movement in his right side and seemed to be doing better when this latest stroke occurred.

How's children told the Detroit Free Press they were traveling to TX to be with their father.

Nothing heals the pain of a loss like a $3,000 bottle of cognac ... just ask the Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers who busted out TWO bottles of Louis XIII at a Pittsburgh casino last night.

James Harrison, along with the rest of the LB crew, hit up Andrew's Steak and Seafood Restaurant at the Rivers Casino ... where they poured the cognac into fancy glasses engraved with their names.

Louis XIII is some of the most expensive cognac in the world -- right now, BevMo is selling the stuff for $3,000 per bottle (if you're a ClubBev member).

Seems the guys polished off the booze ... at least judging by the way they were singing and goofing around at the end of the meal.

Expensive hangovers ... still hurt.

Al Sharpton says he "respects and admires" the St. Louis Rams players who did the "Hands Up" tribute to Mike Brown before Sunday's game ... and is calling on ALL ATHLETES to follow their lead.

"I think that they have a right to do it and it was much appreciated," Sharpton told us.

Of course, the Rams have come under fire from the St. Louis Police Officers Association -- which demanded an apology ... saying the players ignored "mountains of evidence" in the case and offended cops around the country.

Drake wants Johnny Manziel to start in Cleveland this weekend.

How do we know? He told us ... with his hands.

The rapper was leaving Hakkasan restaurant in Beverly Hills Monday when we asked about the QB controversy in Cleveland -- Manziel or Hoyer?

Drake flashed the money sign. Duh.

Of course, Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine says he won't announce the starters until later this week ... but it feels like Manziel's got the edge ... especially with LeBron telling the media he's "ready to go."

The L.A. Clippers locker room was the place to be last night ... when a bunch of HUGE stars kicked it with the team after their victory -- including Justin Bieber and Rob Gronkowski!!!

Rob -- along with New England Patriots teammates Jonas Gray (RB), Shane Vereen (RB), Akeem Ayers (LB) and Darius Fleming (LB) -- were invited into the locker room by Doc Rivers after the Clips beat up on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center.

"We have a lot of Cowboys fans, I showed them what a football team looks like," Rivers told ESPN's Arash Markazi.

As for Bieber, he's friends with a bunch of guys on the team ... including DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul ... and was spotted having a deep convo with Blake Griffin at Blake's locker.

Ray Rice says the disastrous news conference he and Janay held together in May was a "horrendous mistake" ... but he's pointing the finger at the Baltimore Ravens.

Ray broke his silence with Matt Lauer during a stand-up interview in his kitchen for the "Today" show ... and said of the P.R. debacle, "I made a tremendous mistake not apologizing to my wife."

Ray and Janay also took heat over the May 23rd event because Janay APOLOGIZED for her role in the elevator incident.

"When we was going in, we were given what to speak about. It wasn't truly coming from us," Ray says.

So, who told them what to say? Janay claims the Ravens "gave us a general script" going in to the news conference that day ... and Ray and Janay did what they were told thinking the team would have their back.

During the interview, Ray also told Matt he had never laid a finger on Janay before the elevator attack.

UFC champ Anthony Pettis is a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo. Vladimir Putin is a 9th.

So, who would win in a street fight? Don't bet on red.

Pettis -- who's fighting Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181 this weekend -- was out in NYC this week when he told us the 6 degrees of martial arts separation wouldn't matter if push ever came to shove.

Anthony Pettis:

3rd degree Taekwondo black belt
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 155

Vladimir Putin:
Russian President
62-years-old
9th degree Taekwondo black belt
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Classified

The clip is awesome -- Pettis also tells us he spends time training at the same center as NFL superstar J.J. Watt ... and raves about how the guy CRUSHES weights in the gym.

The "Clawvin Johnson" era has officially begun ... and NFL great Boomer Esiason was on hand to deliver the news, presiding over the 2015 Kitten Bowl Draft.

The Hallmark Channel has rounded up a new crop of cats for Kitten Bowl II -- set to air on Feb. 1 (the same day as the Super Bowl) ... and in his official role as Commish, Boomer welcomed the newbies.

So, how'd it go down? Johnson went #1 ... followed by studs like "Cat Stafford" and "Ryan Fitzcatrick."

Pro skater Nyjah Huston is rich and famous, but that didn't impress cops who shut down his 20th birthday party not once, but twice.

Nyjah threw himself a blowout birthday bash Saturday night at an industrial complex in the OC, featuring Waka Flocka.

Here's one of Nyjah's problems ... when you throw a rager, don't let a drunk chick vomit in the road, because the fire department spotted her, treated her and then determined the party was out of control, so they shut it down.

Nyiah was undeterred and decided to throw an after-party at his OC house. Neighbors complained because the noise was ear-splitting, so he was cited for disturbing the peace.

We did some checking ... cops have paid more than 20 visits to Nyjah's home and that's just in the last year or so.

Bill Cosby has just resigned from the Temple University Board of Trustees, which is especially significant because the sexual assault case he settled in 2006 was filed by a Temple employee.

Bill, who attended the school in the '60s and played football as well as running track, says, "I have always been proud of the university and its students. As a result, I have tendered my resignation ..."

Andrea Constand, who worked for the women's basketball team at the university, filed suit against Cosby in 2005, claiming Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her. She filed a lawsuit and Cosby settled in 2006.

Cosby and his wife have donated money to Temple and a scholarship was created in their name.
