Cincinnati Reds prospect Tanner Jeremy Rahier went into a drunken rage after he was cut off at an Arizona bar ... and that's what led to him accidentally hitting his girlfriend with a rock ... this according to the 911 call.

TMZ Sports has obtained the call, made by an employee of the bar where the incident went down. In the 911 call, the employee explains that Rahier became enraged when he was cut off ... and that caused Rahier to throw rocks at the bar.

The 911 caller told police one of the rocks was meant for another a customer, but missed ... and instead hit Rahier's girlfriend in the face. The caller described Rahier as "obviously nuts."

Rahier was booked into jail on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and assault with intent to injure. He told police he didn't know the woman and denied throwing the rocks.

Keyshawn Johnson's wife has filed for divorce ... just 7 months after tying the knot with the ex-NFL star in a lavish beach wedding ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court on March 3rd ... Jennifer Conrad is asking the judge to nuke their marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

Conrad says the pair separated back in February. She also notes she signed a pre-nup before they got hitched.

In the docs, Conrad asks for joint legal custody of their 2 minor children (ages 5 and 2) ... though she wants primary physical custody with Keyshawn getting visitation.

The two tied the knot in a 4-day oceanfront celebration in Newport Beach, CA back in August -- with Jennifer rocking a $6,500 pair of Louboutin shoes with Swarovski crystals.

But don't count Keyshawn out yet ... sources close to the former NFL star say there's still a chance the two will reconcile and call off the divorce.

TMZ Photog: "How can we make people love you?"
Christian Laettner: "I don't know if that's possible."

Kinda sad, right?

Well, it's not all pessimistic ... because when we ran into the former Duke star on the streets of NYC this morning we were trying to figure out why so many people hate the guy.

In fact, the disdain for Laettner is the topic of an upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 titled, "I Hate Christian Laettner."

So, how can C.L. convince people he's really not that bad of a guy?? He has some ideas.

The case of "D.J. Swearinger Steals His Own Truck" is officially closed ... after the NFL star forked over a HUGE check to the people who pimped it out ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... cops launched an investigation into the Houston Texans safety after he allegedly ordered $20k worth of upgrades to his 2013 F250 from a customizer in Texas ... and then drove it off the lot without paying.

The upgrades were pretty awesome -- matte black paint with a Batman logo, speakers, new wheels, custom grill, train horn, etc.

Now, the Harris County Sheriff's Office tells us .... they've been in touch with the customizers who say the debt has since been paid off in full.

Translation -- case closed.

Nash -- who was a badass in both the WWE and the WCW back in the '90s -- explained why he thinks herbal therapy is the way to go ... and he sounds like he's done his homework on the issue.

Houston Texans star Jadeveon Clowney was HOSPITALIZED after the former #1 draft pick was reportedly bit in the arm by his teammate's pit bull.

According to police records obtained by SportsRadio 610, the dog -- owned by Texans safety D.J. Swearinger -- got Clowney in the right arm ... piercing the skin.

Clowney was taken to a nearby emergency room where he was treated -- and officials determined the dog had all of his shots.

Soooo ... Rob Ryan's son is a male model. And he has abs.

For those unfamiliar, Rob is the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints ... and he's the twin brother of Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan.

The Ryan brothers aren't exactly known for having shredded physiques ... but in the case of Joe Ryan, sometimes the apple does fall far from the tree.

Joe recently moved to L.A. for modeling ... and his dad came to town to visit.

In fact, we ran into the two on their way into the Lakers game at the Staples Center ... but for some reason, we just didn't connect the dots.

Can you stay friends with an ex??

Alex Rodriguez certainly can ... so says his last girlfriend Torrie Wilson -- who tells TMZ Sports they're not only on GREAT terms, but she'll be rooting FOR him when baseball season starts.

The former WWE Diva was leaving the gym in Los Angeles Monday when we asked how things were going ever since she and A-Rod ended their 3-year relationship back in February.

According to Page Six, the relationship fizzled (at least in part) because Alex is still tight with another ex ... his former wife Cynthia.

We found the only person on the planet who DOESN'T think Serena Williams is the greatest female tennis player of all-time, and that would be ... Serena Williams.

Williams was at LAX when we asked her about Andre Agassi's claim she is, bar none, the greatest female player ever to pick up the racket.

QB Dak Prescott and 2 other Mississippi State football players were attacked outside a Spring Break concert in Panama City and the video of the brawl is insane.

Prescott and his teammates were jumped at a Waka Flocka show when the chaos erupted. In the video ... Prescott -- a leading Heisman candidate for next season -- is on the ground getting stomped and seems totally dazed.

According to several Bulldogs blogs the attack was unprovoked and the injuries are not serious -- Prescott's face looks pretty messed up though.

Police have not arrested anyone yet.

Steve Francis is about to feel the pressure ... of his massive gold chain -- which his friend and rap mogul J. Prince got back for him, and is now proudly showing it off for cameras.

Rap-A-Lot Recrords honcho J. Prince held up the chain like a fisherman who bagged a great white shark ... and told the local FOX station in Houston he can't wait to return it to its proper owner.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- Stevie Francis was on stage at a Sauce Twinz show when someone jacked the chain off his neck. As we also first told you ... Steve's pal J. Prince put out word on the street that it better be returned, or else.

The man gets results ... can't argue with that.

Kayla Brianna was on TMZ Hollywood Sports ... telling us all about her rising R&B career, when she mentioned she's open to sharing the stage with her dad's "Inside The NBA" co-host -- but only if he's DJing.

Kayla proved she can talk smack with the best of 'em when we asked if she might have Shaq rap on one of her tracks, telling us ... "No! Who's going to buy that new Shaq album?"

Papa would be proud.

Of course Sam Simon is famous for "The Simpsons" and his philanthropy -- but he was also hugely into boxing ... managing former WBO Champ Lamon Brewster, and even stepping in the ring with him!

Brewster was emotional about the loss of his manager and friend when he spoke to TMZ Sports ... telling us, "Sam would spar with me to help me get ready for my fights." That's pretty crazy when you consider Brewster was a beast at 6'2" and 226 pounds!

Brewster says Simon was always a big fan of boxing in general, but after legendary trainer Freddie Roach introduced them -- Simon became his manager from 1999 to 2006.

Simon's guy got the WBO belt in 2004 by knocking out Wladimir Klitschko -- and Simon was right by his side to celebrate in the ring. Brewster says Simon was like a father to him ... who "was always giving me life advice and cracking jokes."

As for Simon's skills in the ring ... Brewster says, "He could hit! He had a good heart, man ... and so down to Earth."

He added, "Sam is now in a great place and I am pretty sure he is up there telling jokes."

Police in Orlando are operating under the assumption that shooters targeted the Jeep NFL star Chris Johnson was in Sunday morning ... which led to his injuries and the death of another man.

While cops believe the Jeep was the intended target, they are unsure if the shooters were specifically going after Chris or anyone else in the vehicle.

According to the report, Chris was "uncooperative and would only state that he saw 'a car roll by, and they shot.'"

Police say Chris was riding in the front passenger seat when an unknown driver pulled up at a stoplight and opened fire - shooting him in the shoulder. The driver was declared dead on the scene with a gunshot wound to the head. Reggie Johnson, the other passenger - was shot twice in his right leg.

Neighbors near the crime scene tell TMZ Sports they heard at least 4 shots Sunday morning from what sounded like a large handgun - before hearing police arrive a few minutes later.

Kim Kardashian's power has increased by 50 times and she now has the power to destroy most beings in the galaxy ... at least according to Minnesota Vikings LB/cartoon nerd Anthony Barr. We'll explain ...

Anthony -- who just finished up his rookie year -- was out in L.A. Sunday night when we asked the former UCLA stud what he thought of Kim K's new blonde look.

That's when Barr went full comic book nerd ... comparing KK to a Super Saiyan, a type of character from the show "Dragon Ball Z" that has achieved nearly unlimited power through training.

You be the judge.
