1:30 PM PT -- Sabathia says he regrets making a "bad decision" by trying to get involved in the fight.

Yankees star CC Sabathia was leaving a Toronto nightclub when a massive fight broke out ... and several people had to hold him back from the action.

Nia Peeples is ditching her husband and she wants to keep the trailer they rode in on.

Nia filed for divorce from professional surfer Sam George, and in her docs she says the home on wheels is hers. Maybe that's a little misleading ... the "trailer" is actually a fancy Malibu mobile home which has an ocean view and is valued at $875,000.

The "Pretty Little Liars" star also wants to keep her 2005 Honda Element but she's ok with him keeping his pickup.

Diddy is opening up about getting banned from UCLA football practices -- in the wake of his scrap with a coach -- but he's not quite ready to talk kettlebells.

Diddy went on "The Breakfast Club" ... and insisted he simply went "to communicate" with strength training coach Sal Alosi. But you gotta see what happens when Charlamagne Tha God whipped out a kettlebell to, uh ... jog Diddy's memory.

Diddy claims, "It was just a miscommunication." As we reported ... his son, Justin Combs, is back practicing with the team, but Diddy admits he won't be on the sidelines anymore -- "As I know right now, I'm not allowed."

It would be tough for Jason Day to top winning half a grand slam -- until you take a closer look at his smoking hot wife.

Ellie Day was right by Jason's side to celebrate his PGA Championship victory in Wisconsin on Sunday ... just like the U.S. Open in June. We'll say this -- if she's gonna be there, we're all for Jason going on a serious win streak.

Even with their toddler son in some of the pics -- Ellie wins.

A woman hoisting the NBA Championship trophy is not a movie plot -- Kenneth Faried believes it can happen ... and soon, because there will be a female head coach.

The Denver Nuggets superstar was at JaVale McGee's Celebrity Softball game at UCLA this weekend ... where he openly said our photog was "crazy" for suggesting some NBA players might not be down with having a female head coach.

Check it out ... KF was more passionate than any other player we've gotten talking about Becky Hammons' success as an assistant coach with the Spurs -- and explains why he strongly believes she can be much more.

Dwayne Johnson would be nearly unrecognizable, if you met him back in his college days -- because he was more like 'The Wallflower' than "The Rock" ... according to his old teammate Finesse Mitchell.

The SNL alum -- who, yes, played football at Da U with Dwayne -- says DJ was overshadowed by much bigger personalities ... like Warren Sapp. We got Finesse at The Grove in L.A., and he said both guys were beasts on the field ... but when it comes being the life of the party -- it was no contest.

In fact, the way Finesse describes it ... NO ONE could've predicted Dwayne would be the Hollywood superstar he is today.

2:55 PM PT -- Rihanna, clearly a TMZ Sports fan, just shot Matt down via Instagram.

Matt Barnes is confounding ... he says the stories about him going on dates with Rihanna are all gossip, but then he says things could be going down the relationship road.

We got Matt out at the UCLA Softball Stadium Saturday when he said he and RiRi are just friends, but it could lead to something. Interesting, because it sure seems like she's dating Lewis Hamilton.

He went as far as saying it doesn't matter that he plays for Memphis, because she has a jet.

Our sources say Matt and Rihanna were out on 2 dates fairly recently.

Milwaukee Brewers 1st baseman David Denson announced he's gay -- the first Major League Baseball affiliated player to do so -- and he says his teammates are showing full support for him.

Lil Eazy-E got in Snoop Dogg's grill about UCLA football ... days before Snoop's son Cordell Broadus bailed -- but he says the Doggfather kept the whole thing on the QT.

We broke the news about Cordell quitting Bruins football to Lil E and he was shocked and heartbroken. Shocked because he was just "talking mess" about the USC-UCLA rivalry to Snoop at the "Straight Outta Compton" premiere last week.

Khloe Kardashian clearly didn't have Lamar Odom on her mind Friday night when she partied in Houston to celebrate James Harden's birthday.

The two were at Aristocratlifes Engineroom for Harden's upcoming 25th ... and we're told the two were VERY close through the whole event -- dancing together for several hours.

Harden celebrated with other NBA players Zach Randolph and Pat Beverley and there were posters congratulating him on his $200 million Adidas deal throughout the venue.

You might remember ... it was earlier this week where Khloe was allegedly ambushed by ex-hubby Lamar Odom outside of a Soul Cycle class.

One thing's for sure -- Khloe seems to have put Lamar behind her.

It's getting clearer by the day ... Lewis Hamilton is one lucky dude, because all signs point to a relationship with Rihanna.

The race car driver and Riri were partying at Griffin nightclub Friday, in NYC's Meatpacking District.

It seems it's all on the QT, because they arrived separately. But they've been at the same place in enough towns and countries lately to fuel rumors.

They were both at 1OAK in NYC Tuesday, and partying in Barbados last week.

Donald Trump's campaign has a new, powerful ally -- football legend Herschel Walker is backing his ex-boss because of two words -- unpolished and trustworthy.

Walker knows The Donald well ... he was a contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice" and toted the rock for the New Jersey Generals -- Trump's USFL team -- back in the '80s.

He tells TMZ Sports he has no issues with Trump's incendiary straight talk because ..."I'm tired of politicians. I'm tired of promises. I know Donald will keep his word. He'll do what he says."

As for Trump's more controversial remarks -- Megyn Kelly and Mexicans -- Herschel thinks he does need to clarify a few things, but adds, "I guarantee his plan is not to deport everyone. If you're good, there will be a path to citizenship."

Walker adds, "He's not a polished politician and I hope he doesn't become one."

For now, he's stopping short of pledging his vote to Trump -- he's got an eye on Ben Carson, too -- but he's buying in to Donald's slogan, "Make America Great Again."

Snoop Dogg has a clear path to go back to USC -- the team he's cheered for all his life -- because a former Trojan superstar is ready to forgive and forget the whole UCLA mess with Snoop's son.

Linebacker Keith Rivers says he understands why Snoop had to root for the blue and gold when Cordell Broadus committed to the Bruins, but now that he's quit ... he says it's time for the Dogg to come home.

Rivers -- a 1st round draft pick with the Bengals in 2008 -- says there is a family exception in the heated rivalry. He says, "Snoop HAD to dump out his USC gear and jump on the bandwagon to support his son. All the Instagrams & stuff like that was out of support, you’re supposed to do that for your kid."

So, come September at the Coliseum -- "I think everyone should and will accept him back into the family.”

Glory Johnson's reaction to Brittney Griner's annulment filing getting shot down is ... the judge did what's right and fair -- and she says Brittney can't run from their marriage.

The pregnant Tulsa Shock player tells TMZ Sports ... "I am thankful the annulment was rejected because an act of marriage did occur." As we reported ... an Arizona judge just rejected Griner's request to annul their marriage.

Glory adds, "Together we made life changing decisions which impacted our lives collectively, and we both should be held responsible for those decisions."

Translation: I'm having twins, we're still married, and YOU are the breadwinner for this family.

Michael Sam is worried about his mental state ... so he's leaving football -- again -- one week after he became the first openly gay player in a professional game.

Brittney Griner's attempt to annul her marriage was shot down in an Arizona court.

WNBA superstar Griner had filed for the annulment back in June ... right after fellow hoopster and wife, Glory Johnson, announced she was pregnant with twins. An AZ judge rejected the annulment case on Thursday.

It's unclear where that leaves the unhappy couple -- presumably headed for divorce court.

It's been an insane year for Griner and Johnson -- they both got arrested for domestic violence in April, got married May 8th ... and 28 days later, Griner filed for annulment.

According to People, which first reported the failed annulment ... Johnson is now living in Tennessee near her family. Griner is still in AZ, playing for the Phoenix Mercury.
