Well, that didn't take long -- one week after The Game got Mike Tyson tatted on his hand ... he allegedly decked someone so hard during a basketball game ... police were called to the scene.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Game was playing in a Pro-Am game Sunday at Hollywood High School when he got into a heated argument with another player. We're told the player says Game threatened to kill him, punched him in the face and took off.

Officers responded and the alleged victim filed a report. Police are investigating the incident as a battery.

We've reached out to Game ... no word back. Ditto for Tyson.

Hope Tiger Woods is paying attention ...

An 84-year-old woman named Margaret stepped up the stage on "The Price is Right" Friday -- and earned herself a spot to play "Hole In One ... Or Two."

Margaret is not a pro golfer ... not even a semi-pro ... but she's also NOT A LOSER.

She stepped up. She grabbed the club -- AND SHE WON HERSELF A BRAND NEW CAR!!!

Fortunately, the folks over at "P.I.R." aren't as strict with the rules as the PGA -- because as the people over at Golf Digest pointed out, she definitely used an illegal putt.

But who cares ... HELL YEAH MARGARET!!!

He played in the NFL for 10 years before scoring a job as a reporter for the Huffington Post -- but Donte Stallworth says he chose politics over sports because, "I wanna cover things that actually matter."

Stallworth took a gig working the "national security" beat for the media outlet back in September ... and says he's really enjoying the experience so far.

"The whole introduction into that has been fairly interesting," Donte says ... "Being an ex-NFL player, a lot of people have been willing to help me."

So, why not try to dip into the news world by taking on sports ... a genre where he's already got an edge over everyone else??

TMZ Sports just spoke with a bisexual NFL player who's upset with Michael Sam -- telling us he was OFFENDED when Sam said other gay men in the league are less courageous because they don't want to come out.

The player -- who didn't want to be identified by name -- has played in the league for several seasons and says he's open about his sexuality with close friends.

But when the player read Sam's recent comments about gay men in the league -- he was offended.

Specifically, the player was upset when Sam said ... "I respect the players that did reach out to me and had the courage to tell me that they were also gay, but they do not have the same courage as I do to come out before I even played a down in the NFL."

The player's response -- "As a bisexual man, I just feel like Michael Sam does not speak for all gay men."

"He has his own opinion ... but DON'T say that we don't have the courage to come out. It's totally wrong. Just speak for yourself. No one else."

"It's no one's business what my sexuality is. You should like me for me ... not for who I choose to be with."

The player continued ... "I feel the NFL isn't ready for people to be open about it. Or the General Managers for that matter."

Despite those opinions, the player says he believes Sam DID get a fair shot to make a team -- "I just don't think he performed well."

Another celebrity guest at the Manny Pacquaio training camp ... this time Cuba Gooding Jr. spent some time with the challenger ... but says the whole thing is going down TEN YEARS too late!

CG2 was out in L.A. -- and even though he praised Manny ... saying the guy looks quick as ever ... you can tell Cuba's irritated that the fight of the century is happening a DECADE after it should have.

She may be from Florida, but "Twilight" star Ashley Greene tells TMZ Sports she's pulling for the Badgers in the Final Four ... and she's got UPSET on her mind.

Greene explained why she's a fan of Wisconsin at LAX over the weekend -- and when we pointed out that Vegas odds show a UW upset over Kentucky is unlikely, she had the perfect response:

"Isn't that the fun in all of this when they do?"

Joe Haden must know a good smize when he sees it ... 'cause the NFL superstar is so sure he's found "America's Next Top Model" he's leading a social media campaign to get that man on the show.

Haden, along with fellow pigskin pros Carlos Dunlap and Jason Pierre-Paul have taken to Instagram in support of a Miami model named "Prince" who's trying to score a spot on ANTM's upcoming Season 22.

The three men -- who have over 450k IG followers between them -- each recently posted modeling shots of Prince to their pages along with messages encouraging casting directors to put him on.

We spoke to Prince -- who knows Haden and the other players from partying in Miami -- and he tells TMZ Sports their efforts have sparked some legit interest in him that might otherwise have been hard to come by.

"All those casting directors saw it and it opened the door to conversations with them."

Prince -- who made a mystery trip to L.A. this past weekend -- couldn't tell us whether or not he's made the show yet (sworn to secrecy) but says the NFL love definitely put him on the map.

"1,000% it's helped ... i got tons of new followers because of [the players] and in this business, it's all about exposure."

Floyd Mayweather can now eat guilt-free at his favorite guilty pleasure ... 'cause a Las Vegas Fatburger just concocted a brand new training-friendly organic burger ... just for the champ.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Floyd is so serious about beating Pacquiao on May 2 that he's adopted an all-organic diet during training ... courtesy of a $1,000-a-plate chef.

We spoke to the chef, who told us the real bummer of the new diet was saying goodbye to the 3 AM Fatburger visits that Floyd lives and dies for.

Well, it turns out Fatburger isn't about to take losing the (big tipping) champ lying down ... wielding their culinary wizardry to create an all-organic beef experience that Mayweather can scarf while he trains.

Darin Feinstein owns the Vegas Fatburger Floyd chomps at and he tells us he was so serious about the burger that he outsourced the creation of it to his other restaurant, the totally organic El Dorado Cantina.

"The meat is from the Sunfed ranch, highest quality beef. The lettuce, tomato, onion, relish, even the special sauce is all organic."

Feinstein says all it takes is one call from Floyd and the burger can be made at El Dorado and delivered to Fatburger so Money can pick it up and grub.

Meantime, Pacquiao's eating chocolate ...

Here's Tom Brady ... jumping off a cliff ... and probably scaring the living crap out of Robert Kraft.

The New England Pats QB is on vacation with his family ... and for some reason, decided to throw himself off a cliff and into some water.

Don't worry ... he lived.

Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs ... Jeremy Piven says you're about to end one of the most legendary eras of futility in the history of sports ... and it's all 'cause of Will Ferrell.

Piven was out in NYC when we asked the Chicago born star if this is the year the furries from the midway finally get off the schneid and win a World Series.

Check out the clip -- Jeremy (Ari Gold, let's be real) says the Cubbies got it in the bag and its Ferrell's spring training antics that broke the curse.

FYI -- Ferrell spent some time as the Cubs 3rd base coach during a Spring Training game earlier this month ... and it was hilarious.

'Memba when Floyd Mayweather beat Oscar De La Hoya in 2007?

Floyd does ... and he commissioned a $100k painting to honor the victory ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Mayweather hooked up with famed charcoal painter Dave Hobrecht ... who tells us Money ordered a custom piece of art a few months ago, featuring 7 fights he's especially proud of.

Among the defeated -- Guerrero, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley, Alvarez, Marquez and, of course, De La Hoya ... who's featured right in the center of the painting.

There's more ... Hobrecht says Floyd sent authentic used training artifacts to accentuate the painting including hand wraps, corner padding, speed bags and jump ropes.

The painting will ultimately end up in one of Floyd's homes ... right next the to emerald belt he's hoping to get on May 2nd.

Cam Newton is totally gonna freak when he sees this ...

His ex-Carolina Panthers teammate Chris Ogbonnaya told TMZ Sports he pulled off the most elaborate prank ever on the superstar QB ... and this video officially marks the end of it.

Ogbonnaya -- who now plays for the NY Giants -- was leaving Mastro's this week when we asked the running back about the best prank he's pulled since he's been in the NFL.

He then told us about how a slight mix-up led to Cam believing he was raised in Nigeria, and how Chris turned that into an epic gag that never ended ... even when he ran into Newton at the Super Bowl last month.

In fact, the only way Newton will learn Ogbonnaya is actually from TEXAS ... is if he watches this video.

Real-life superhero Phoenix Jones claims he's saved the day again ... this time, the MMA fighter says he chased down a stabbing suspect in Connecticut and DISARMED the perp.

TMZ Sports has learned ... Jones -- a World Series of Fighting mixed martial artist -- real name Ben Fodor -- filled out a statement with the New Haven PD saying he was walking down the street Friday when, "I saw a man being chased who was bleeding from his face."

Fodor -- who made headlines as a real-life crime-fighter in Seattle -- says he put on his bulletproof vest and confronted a man he believed to be the "stabbing suspect."

Jones says the man then displayed a hunting knife ... so he proceeded to disarm the alleged bad guy. Once he believed the threat was neutralized, Jones says he went back and waited with the victim until medics arrived.

The 26-year-old undefeated MMA fighter says he captured the entire incident on his go-pro camera ... and handed the footage over to police.

Cops confirm a report was made -- but say they are still investigating the matter ... including Phoenix's role in the incident.

Evander Holyfield says he's giving Mitt Romney the GREEN LIGHT to pummel his face in their upcoming charity boxing match ... if the Mitt can get past his impregnable defense.

FYI -- 52-year-old Holyfield is squaring off with 68-year-old Romney in a charity bout on May 15th in Utah to raise money for CharityVision ... which helps poverty-stricken people get blindness reversing surgeries.

Holyfield appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" to talk about his game plan for the fight we're calling "The Altercation in Mormon Nation" ... and even though it's just an exhibition, E.H. says he's ready to take Mitt's best shot.

Just be careful Mitt ... Apollo thought it was an just an exhibition too.

Ludacris says Manny Pacquiao has ZERO chance of beating Floyd Mayweather in their mega fight ... 'cause he's seen Mayweather train -- and Money is just too focused to lose.

Luda sat down for an interview with "The Breakfast Club" when DJ Envy asked the 'Furious 7' star his opinion on who'll have their arms raised when the final bell rings on May 2nd.

That's when Luda dropped some inside knowledge sure to make the whole Philippines nervous ... saying he dropped by Mayweather's training camp in Vegas recently and saw a whole different Floyd.

"I've never in my life seen him this focused and training this hard."

Luda, who actually worked out with Floyd and his uncle Roger preparing for a role a couple of years ago, added that the whole Money Team is going extra hard for this one:

"If he usually runs 5 or 6 miles a day, he's running 8 or 9 miles a day. He knows everything is on the line."

Get your popcorn ready -- 'cause Terrell Owens got thiiis close to naked for a revealing new photo shoot with celeb photog Tyler Shields ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

The 41-year-old ex-NFL star spoofed one of his most famous on-the-field moments ... the infamous popcorn incident ... for Tyler's upcoming book "Provocateur," which is set to be released next year.

We're told there will be a BUNCH of huge stars featured in the book -- including Emma Roberts, Rumer Willis and Jennifer Morrison.
