Several members of the NY Jets tell TMZ Sports ... they want Sheldon Richardson OFF THE TEAM -- claiming his speeding arrest with a 12-year-old in the car is simply "disgusting."

We spoke with multiple starters from the Jets who tell us they're well aware of the allegations against Richardson -- that cops say he was clocked at 143 mph in his Bentley on July 14th with a 12-year-old kid and a gun in the car.

"He shouldn't be back on the team," one NY player tells us ... "It's disgusting to think he'd do something like that with a kid in the car."

Another starting player tells us, "I'm very disappointed in what he did. I have kids, I can't even imagine doing what he did."

Richardson has already been suspended for the first 4 games of the season for failing an unrelated weed test -- but the Jets say they're now looking into this incident as well to see if they need to take action.

But if he never came back, it clearly wouldn't bother some of the Jets -- one of whom told us, "I never liked him anyway."

With Hector Olivera being traded from the Dodgers to the Braves ... he's got a one helluva ride to make the long distance trip -- a SWAGGED OUT $300k pimp van ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Olivera -- who signed a $62.5 MILLION contract with the Dodgers back in May -- recently dropped $60k on a Mercedes Benz sprinter van ... so he could hit the clubs in style and comfort just like Floyd Mayweather and Tyrese.

And just like Floyd and Tyrese, Hector wanted to PIMP THE HELL out of his ride ... so he took it to Alex Vega at the AutoFirm in Miami and dropped $250k to make the inside look like a sick private jet.

Two personal black leather reclining seats ... with an L-shaped bench ... and two 50-inch flat screen TVs. Plus, it's got an Avorza sound system, bar set up and an ice maker!

It's the perfect ride for a guy who wants to party RESPONSIBLY ... it's like Gronk's party bus on steroids.

Your move, Gronk.

Hope Solo may have some competition ... in about 18 years ... 'cause Kim Kardashian's daughter is a SOCCER PLAYER now ... and she's already got her sights set on the goalie job.

Kim K posted a pic of 2-year-old North West out on the soccer pitch -- complete with cleats and shin guards ... along with the caption, "Officially a soccer mom! #MyLittleGoalie."

Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61 ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- died from cardiac arrest in his sleep at his home in Hollywood on Thursday night. He was discovered on Friday.

Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.

Roddy's rep tells us, "I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all."

Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was "cancer free" at the time of his death.

A family member tells us, "Our family is saddened by the sudden passing of our father and beloved husband, Roderick Toombs aka Rowdy Roddy Piper."

Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE.

Piper had a long relationship with WWE -- last wrestling back in 2008 ... but appeared on various WWE shows up until 2014.

Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids -- including 3 daughters and son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling.

The death is especially shocking considering we just spoke to him on Friday and asked his opinion about the Hulk Hogan scandal.

Ric Flair -- one of Roddy Piper's longest and closest friends -- has issued a statement to TMZ Sports on the death of the wrestling legend:

"We've shared the ring, traveled the world, maintained a friendship throughout the ups and downs of the wrestling world, and battled to see who was the better heel," Flair said.

Hulk Hogan tells TMZ Sports ... he's devastated over the news of his friend Roddy Piper -- saying, "I will forever miss him."

"He was my best friend. He is a legend."

Hogan adds, "God's gain is our loss. May his family in this time of need, find peace. Much love forever, HH."

Hogan and Piper were the two of the biggest stars in wrestling back in the '80s -- and famously did battle at "Wrestlemania I" in 1985.

But outside the ring, they were tight -- and remained friends for decades.

The Iron Sheik has also issued a statement ... saying, "Roddy Piper. I love you forever. God bless you bubba."

WWE legend Virgil -- "My main man. Always had my back. RIP #RoddyPiper."

Kevin Nash -- "RIP to Roddy Piper. Prayers to his family and loved ones."

Bill Goldberg -- "#RIP #RoddyPiper ........damn sure one of the good guys. Gonna miss ya buddy"

Jim Ross -- "Rest in peace, Roddy Piper. You will live in our hearts forever"

UFC's Dana White -- "Sad day. RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper."

John Cena -- "One of the true greats of all time. My heart goes out to his family and the fans he entertained over the years. RIP Rowdy."

WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon -- "Roddy Piper was one of the most entertaining, controversial and bombastic performers ever in WWE, beloved by millions of fans around the world. I extend my deepest condolences to his family."

We're constantly updating this post ....

Buffalo Bills lineman coach Aaron Kromer will not be charged in the alleged altercation he had earlier this month with two young kids.

According to the District Attorney's office in Florida, the parents of the two alleged victims requested the charges to be dismissed. The parents felt the injuries were minor and they "desired that the lives of their children not be further disrupted."

The DA also said an "amicable resolution" had been reached between all parties.

Indiana Pacers player Jordan Hill was arrested in Atlanta this week after cops say he was burning rubber at 107 miles per hour ... without a shirt.

Several people called 911 to report the vehicle on Tuesday -- and cops eventually caught up to the former Lakers player, who was driving a Range Rover.

Dash cam footage shows cops putting a shirtless Hill in cuffs and placing him in the back of a cop car.

He was booked for speeding and reckless driving.

Pacers president Larry Bird issued a statement saying, "We have been informed Jordan was arrested for allegedly reckless driving in Atlanta, Georgia.'

So... Kenny Chesney's jacked.

The country superstar hit up the Kansas City Chiefs practice this morning .... and spent some time with head coach Andy Reid.

Maybe it's time to share workout advice?

Another Canadian superstar is going in on Meek Mill -- Bret "The Hitman" Hart ... who just poured salt in the wound ... saying Meek's diss track was WEEEEAAKKKK!!!

"I’m glad to see a fellow Canadian walk away with the championship gold around his waist #drake #canadian #ovo #thebestthereiswasandeverwill," Hart posted.

And as our friends at BSO pointed out, he also posted a pic of Drake's OVO owl.

Depending on who you talk to, Bret "The Hitman" Hart is the greatest Canadian professional wrestler of all-time and is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest technical wrestler of all-time.

The fact even he is dissing Meek Mill tells you how big this battle between Drake and Meek has gotten.

If you wanted to use a wrestling analogy to describe the beef, Drake is currently John Cena and Meek is Fandango.

Marco Rubio might've lost Massachusetts ... 'cause the presidential hopeful just kept it WAY too real about Tom Brady ... telling TMZ Sports if he had his way, Brady would be gone FOREVER.

Rubio was out in DC when we asked the rabid football fan about the QB ... who's having one of the suckier weeks of his (perfect) life since the NFL upheld his 4 game suspension on Tuesday.

Check out the clip -- Rubio barely gives our guy a chance to finish the question before launching into some anti-Brady rhetoric.

File Under: "We Could See This One Coming From a Mile Away" ... but Mike Scott's youth basketball camp has been cancelled ... after he was arrested yesterday for being in possession of a ton of drugs during a high speed chase.

The Atlanta Hawks forward was scheduled to host the FREE basketball camp at Deep Creek High School in Virginia on Saturday for kids ages 6 to 16 ... and it had been promoted for weeks.

But the organization behind the camp -- the Chesapeake Community Center -- tends to frown on people getting arrested with a ton of weed and MDMA ... so they called the whole thing off.

Sucks for the kids.

Sorry ladies, if you were expecting a giant 200-on-1 sex freaky orgy at LeSean McCoy's "females only" party, you would have been very disappointed ... so says LeSean.

The Buffalo Bills running back expanded on the most legendary party there never was today ... telling reporters, "I cancelled it. It got too wild."

He added, "I should have never posted it and I take blame for it. But for the record, it was no weird orgy thing going on."

The dude sounds sad about the whole thing ... but not as sad as Bills head coach Rex Ryan who told reporters he's bitter ... because he wasn't invited!!

"I did not get an invite," Rex said ... "I'm a little disappointed about that. But maybe next year."

Here's Sheldon Richardson's mug shot ... taken moments after the NY Jets star was arrested for allegedly racing his Bentley over 140 mph with a gun in the car.

As we previously reported, Richardson was busted near his home in St. Louis on July 14th ... after cops say he was burning rubber in his Bentley -- with a 12-year-old kid in the car.

Richardson was taken to a nearby station -- where he was booked and posed for a mug shot ... wearing a tank top and a gold chain.

For a guy named "The Fridge" -- William Perry's memorabilia is still SUPER HOT -- 'cause his 1985 Super Bowl ring just sold at auction for more than $200,000!!!

As we previously reported, the former Chicago Bears star sold the ring back in 2000 -- but it's changed owners a few times and this week, it went up for sale with Heritage Auctions.

Experts estimated the ring would sell for roughly $100k ... but last night, the ring SMASHED the expectations -- and was snatched up for a cool $203,150.

Police say they have no dash cam video or body cam video of the Sheldon Richardson incident -- where he was allegedly racing his Bentley with a gun in the car -- because the police equipment is way out of date.

Cops say the NY Jets star was hitting speeds of 143 miles per hour in his Bentley on July 14th -- with a 12-year-old kid in the car -- near his home in St. Louis.

But when we called the O’Fallon Police Department to ask if any of the incident was captured on video ... we were told no such video exists.

OPD spokesperson Diana Damke tells us the video equipment was recently removed from police cruisers because it was "out of date and stopped working."

Cops were not wearing body cams during the stop either ... though Damke tells us the department is in a "process of review" -- and is looking to update their equipment.

As for Richardson, we're told he was charged with resisting arrest, failing to display lighted lamps on motor vehicle, excessive speeding, failing to obey traffic control device and following too closely.
