It didn't take long for Sean "Diddy" Combs to see a familiar face in prison ... because he ran across a famous basketball player from Brooklyn who he's known for years ... former NBA star Sebastian Telfair.

Diddy and Bassy are the most famous inmates doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and they hung out Saturday in the prison yard ... and we have photos from their chat.

Jerry O'Connell didn't give up a game-winning home run or make the final out, but he's taking the blame for the Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss ... and it's all because of an outfit change.

The actor joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and chatted with us about his experience at the Fall Classic ... he went to games in Los Angeles and Toronto, but when he swapped his Dodgers gear for a Jays jersey, Toronto didn't win another game and blew their shot at dethroning the champs.

Jerry says folks noticed Toronto's misfortune with him on the bandwagon ... and he says he's the new version of the "Drake curse." Jerry's wearing it as a badge of honor, though.

Whoever said fishing is relaxing hasn't been to the new Bass Pro Shops in Odessa, Texas ... where a huge brawl broke out to christen the opening ... all caught on video.

It's unclear what exactly started the argument ... but in the video, you can see 4 men paired off in separate tussles, and then more guys start running in.

You can cross Francis Ngannou's name off the list of potential replacement opponents for Jake Paul with his bout against Gervonta Davis in jeopardy ... 'cause the former UFC champ tells TMZ Sports no amount of money would entice him to fight El Gallo!

Washington Commanders star Jayden Daniels went down with a gut-wrenching elbow injury during "Sunday Night Football" ... an ailment that will keep him sidelined indefinitely.

The moment went down with just under eight minutes left in the home loss to the Seattle Seahawks ... with the Commanders down by 31 points.
