The cop who busted Justin Blackmon for public intoxication earlier this month put a brief pause on arresting the ex-NFLer to educate him on some Oklahoma State football history ... police video shows.

Check out the body camera footage TMZ Sports obtained ... just after an Oklahoma State University Police Dept. officer stopped the former OSU Cowboy for allegedly roaming the Stillwater campus while drunk on April 19 at around 1:30 AM -- he talked a bit of ball with the one-time Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver.

Blackmon stated he had played for the Pokes in 2011 -- and "went to the league" afterward. The cop then asked, "Did you play under [Mike] Gundy?"

Larsa Pippen's getting her new boyfriend up to speed ... because she's hanging out with him on a yacht, and she's showing off her body in a skimpy bikini.

"The Real Housewives of Miami" star was in her element Monday in South Beach ... cruising around the waterways on a fancy boat with the new baller in her life ... 31-year-old former pro basketball player Jeff Coby.

Larsa was practically busting out of her brown bikini ... she had her hair up in a bun and drank orange juice from a champagne glass.

Puka Nacua's brother is in trouble with the United Football League -- Samson Nacua was just suspended for slapping a fan in a heated post-game altercation.

The UFL handed down the punishment on Tuesday ... stating the Michigan Panthers receiver was banned one game without pay for "an altercation with a spectator" after the matchup against the St. Louis Battlehawks at The Dome at America's Center on Saturday.

On top of the forced sit-out, the league says Nacua has agreed to do community service at some point later in the season.

Jordon Hudson is doubling down on how she met Bill Belichick as the internet casts doubt ... reposting the book the legendary coach signed during their first interaction.

Chapter one of the couple's love story has been scrutinized in recent days ... after Hudson refused to let Belichick talk about it during a now-infamous interview with CBS.

The interruption has folks wondering if their rom-com-esque flight run-in was bogus ... and Hudson's seemingly aware, 'cause she reposted an old Instagram of her "Meetiversary" from February, which showcased the textbook, "Deductive Logic" featuring the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach's John Hancock.

Philadelphia Eagles player Eli Ricks certainly appreciated his trip to the White House on Monday ... but it didn't necessarily have anything to do with President Donald Trump and his hospitality -- but more so his daughter, Ivanka.

The 23-year-old cornerback gave a glowing review of his visit to 1600 Penn on social media ... saying he was pleased with one particular sight the nation's capital had to offer.

POTUS' daughter, 43, was present for the Super Bowl champions' ceremony ... wearing a light blue suit for the occasion.

Matt Petgrave -- the hockey player arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection to former NHL pro Adam Johnson's death in 2023 -- will not face criminal charges ... British officials stated this week.

The Crown Prosecution Service announced the decision Tuesday ... saying after a thorough police investigation, it has opted not to pursue charges.

"We have concluded that there is not a realistic prospect of conviction for any criminal offense and so there will not be a prosecution. Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Adam Johnson," the CPS said.

11:30 AM PT -- There's a happy ending to this story ... as TMZ Sports has learned Lakers superstar Luka Doncic has donated $5,000 to help restore the mural.

It's an incredible gesture ... as that is the total amount the fundraiser was hoping to rake in for the effort.

A tribute to the late Kobe and Gigi Bryant was defaced with graffiti ... with the mural becoming a canvas for an apparent beef between street artists.

The vandalism was spotted recently ... with a piece depicting the Lakers legend in uniform and kissing his young daughter on the cheek being covered in white paint and a graffiti tag.

In the top corner, where the original artist's name "Sloe Motions" appeared, it looks like someone scribbled out the tag and wrote "Keep running your mouth, p***y."

The backlash from a super awkward CBS interview isn't derailing Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson's love -- the two had a sweet date night in New York City on Monday ... though both were mum on the fallout from the sit-down.

Hudson looked elegant in a black and white dress -- while Belichick showed off his dapper side in a suit and tie. The two were leaving a fancy Manhattan hotel to hit a swanky event nearby.

Bill was peppered with a few questions about his now-infamous chat with Tony Dokoupil ... but he declined to answer any of the paps' queries. Jordon, meanwhile, stayed quiet too during the couple's brief walk to their waiting car -- though she did flash a smile to the cameras.

Shedeur Sanders is 10 toes down in Northeast Ohio ... the Cleveland Browns' notable fifth-round selection just arrived at the team's facility after a whirlwind draft weekend.

Sanders posted video to his Instagram on Tuesday ... showing him working his way through the team's building in Berea with a black duffel bag over his shoulder.

It comes 72 hours after the 23-year-old saw one of the most shocking draft slides in recent memory. After many expected he could go as early as the top five, he didn't hear his name called until the final day of the event.

Kevin Love and his former teammate Tristan Thompson shared an emotional and powerful moment before Monday's Cavs-Heat playoff game, following the recent passing of Love's father, his "first Hero."

The touching scene went down before the Cavs' 138-83 blowout dub vs. the Heat at the Kaseya Center in Miami, when Love and Thompson -- who played together in The Land from 2014 to 2020 -- reunited on the court.

It was all caught on the broadcast ... showing Thompson hugging and comforting Love, who is mourning the death of his father, Stan, who passed away on Sunday.

The lawyer representing the woman accusing Shannon Sharpe of rape will not be releasing the video that allegedly depicts the two engaging in sex ... calling it "key evidence" in their case against the former NFL star.

Tony Buzbee tells TMZ Sports ... he and his client -- who filed a lawsuit against Sharpe earlier this month for sexual assault using the pseudonym Jane Doe -- have zero plans right now to put the footage out to the media.

"The only reason you know about the existence of a video recording is that Mr. Sharpe specifically referenced it in his bulls*** statement," Buzbee said. "The contents of the video was shared during the mediation process with Sharpe’s attorneys. Again, Sharpe and his team disclosed that, not us. Sharpe himself was offered on more than one occasion to view it himself. He declined. We've never made any claims or threats about it and won't do so."

Jeff Sperbeck, John Elway's longtime business partner, is in the hospital on life support ... following a horrific golf course accident over the weekend, TMZ Sports has learned.

We're told Sperbeck was at The Madison Club in La Quinta, CA on Saturday afternoon, riding on the back of a golf cart, when something went terribly wrong ... and Jeff somehow fell off the moving vehicle, landing on the ground, and hitting his head.

Jeff's wife and at least one other person noticed Sperbeck was down and quickly turned around to check on him. It was immediately clear the longtime sports agent was in bad shape, and someone called for help.

Deion Sanders isn't letting his son's NFL draft waiting game ruin his spirits ... telling TMZ Sports the Man Upstairs is just as great as he was before Shedeur fell to the fifth round.

We caught up with the Colorado Buffaloes head coach and Hall of Famer at LAX fresh off Shedeur joining the Cleveland Browns with the No. 144 pick ... and despite all the chatter surrounding how it played out, he hammered home a message of faith.

Deion was in good spirits about it all ... saying, "You know how good God is" when asked if he was pleased with how things turned out.

Jordon Hudson went completely off the rails during Bill Belichick's CBS interview -- to the point where she stormed out of the room and delayed shooting for 30 minutes ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Sports.

Belichick agreed to do a sit-down with Tony Dokoupil of "CBS Mornings" to promote his new book, "The Art of Winning," but it turned into an L -- at least PR-wise -- when his 24-year-old GF interrupted the interviewer, asking Bill how they met.

We're told outside of that baffling moment that made the final edit, there were numerous other instances of Hudson butting in -- even when the legendary coach was answering questions about football, she would stop and correct him.

The Philadelphia Eagles are at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX win, and President Trump decided to take a shot at ex-Eagles fan Taylor Swift during the festivities.

Saquon Barkley and co. hit 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., and while the Prez gave the players props on their 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs ... he also shaded his archenemy, who now cheers for K.C. and her BF Travis Kelce.

POTUS said, "It was an incredible game. A little surprising, but right from the beginning of the first quarter of the big game, which I was there I watched in person. I was there along with Taylor Swift, how did that work out?"

Alijah Arenas' condition is improving to the point where he has been able to walk and talk after wrecking his Cybertruck last week ... but the 18-year-old still has a lengthy journey before getting back to 100%, according to the young hooper's loved ones.

A rep for the Arenas and Govan families tells TMZ Sports ... "Although Alijah has shown significant improvement following the traumatic experience, he still has a long road to full recovery due to severe smoke inhalation."

"He was able to walk on his own and speak with his mother, Laura Govan, and his father, Gilbert Arenas, by his side. Alijah remains hospitalized under close observation, with additional testing still underway. The families continue to ask for privacy and ongoing prayers during this critical time."
