Ex-Buffalo Bills stud Roscoe Parrish was shocked to learn he had warrants out for his arrest during a traffic stop last month ... telling cops, "I live a clean life. I played in the NFL!"
The 37-year-old former receiver was busted for a routine traffic violation on Aug. 12 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida ... when cops realized he had two serious warrants out for his arrest.
One was for stalking, while the other was for writing a threat to kill ... but you can see on the arrest video, obtained by TMZ Sports, Parrish is floored when cops tell him the news.
"I'm retired," Parrish says. "I live a clean life ... I played in the NFL!"
"No sh*t?!" one officer responds. "Who'd you play for?"
"Buffalo Bills and I went to the University of Miami!"
Cops continue to question him about the warrants throughout the stop ... but Parrish says he has no idea what they stem from, saying, "I'm, like, literally confused!"
Turns out, according to court docs, Parrish's ex-girlfriend alleges the 5-foot-9, 175-pound ex-NFL player wrote several threatening messages to her ... including a note that said, "You b*tches don't listen oh and make sure you tell your ugly a** daughter to watch out im commig for her haha, from your ex."
Parrish's ex-GF also alleges another note read, "Ima kill your stupid a** daughter."
Cops say they tried to serve Parrish with a restraining order, but when they received no answer at his door ... they requested the arrest warrants.
In the traffic stop -- Parrish, who couldn't have been more cooperative with officers -- was asked if he had any sort of dispute with a girl or girlfriend ... and he replied, "No! No!"
Parrish -- who was a 2nd-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 2005 NFL Draft -- is due in court later this month to face the two felony charges.

50 Cent and Paris Jackson are going head-to-head over his insinuation Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson -- and now he's upped the ante with a graphic comment about Jackson's accusers.
Fiddy just fired back at MJ's daughter who, on Wednesday, took umbrage with 50 Cent posting a video of CB doing back flips. If you missed it, the rapper said, "All I'm saying is I never seen MJ come out like this."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Paris responded with, "true legends don't need to exert outrageous amounts of energy just grasp your attention."
Far be it from 50 Cent -- master of the IG troll -- to just let it go. Instead, on Friday, he put up a fresh post, saying ... "Why am I the bad guy, I understand how you feel Paris, but does anyone care about how the little boys butts feels."
Yeah, he went there -- but keep in mind, Dave Chappelle went there too, in his latest Netflix special -- sparking a national debate about believing or disbelieving Jackson's alleged victims.
As we reported, Wade Robson and James Safechuck -- the accusers featured in "Leaving Neverland" -- both blasted Chappelle for the jokes and personal comments he made onstage.
50 certainly makes it sound like he's siding with Robson and Safechuck. Still, we're thinking even they would call his his choice of words ... cringeworthy? At best.

Ronnie from 'Jersey Shore' Denies Cheating Amid Jen Harley Breakup
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's ex has it twisted, he couldn't have cheated 'cause there was never a so-called mystery girl -- she was just a friend ... according to people close to Ronnie.
Sources close to the 'Jersey Shore' star tell us the girl Jen Harley accused Ronnie of cheating with ... is a friend he was hanging out with Monday during a boat party. Our sources insist it was NOT a cheating sitch -- still, Jen went off Thursday night in a series of IG Sory posts. She's since deleted most of them, but left one about her and Ron's 1-year-old daughter, Ariana Sky.
We've also learned the on-again, off-again couple has been broken up for a little over a week now. TMZ's confirmed Jen moved out of Ronnie's Vegas crib. Our Ronnie sources say he's got just one priority right now ... Ariana. And, he's completely focused on her well-being.
ICYMI ... Jen posted this Story showing a girl and Ronnie on a boat. You can see her hand is on his back as they look into the horizon. Jen asked in a poll, "Is this love???!!" She claimed it was Ron "with another girl again." That girl? We're told it was a friend consoling a bummed Ronnie.
Jen made other claims ... pointing to Ronnie's short-lived relationship with Malika Haqq as proof Ronnie's the problem when it comes to relationships and not her. She also alleges he's abusive and a bully, who MTV protects because he's one of the network's "assets."
As we've reported over and over and over again ... Ronnie and Jen have had major issues and multiple breakups. She was busted back in May for allegedly chucking an ashtray at Ronnie's face, but prosecutors dropped the case because Ronnie wouldn't cooperate.
He also accused her of punching him and giving him a black eye back in October. He was told, if he wanted her arrested, he needed to press charges in the state where the alleged attack went down, but it appears Ronnie never did.
Toxic relationship, much?

Even though it might've looked like Raiders camp was an absolute circus because of Antonio Brown ... ex-Oakland LB Brandon Marshall tells TMZ Sports that just wasn't the case.
"He really wasn't a distraction 'cause he wasn't here," Marshall says.
AB has yet to go a full week without making a headline since the Raiders kicked off training camp in July ... there's been frostbitten feet, helmet drama, ex-teammate issues AND a wild lawsuit.
But, Marshall -- who was with the Raiders until a surprising cut last week -- tells us despite all of that ... nobody really viewed the receiver as a headache.
"We just didn't know where he was at," Marshall said. "Everybody was just fighting for a spot on the team."
Of course, things have gotten a little hairier since Marshall left the squad -- Brown reportedly got into a yelling match with GM Mike Mayock, and the team looks poised to suspend the receiver over the altercation.
Marshall says that incident shocked him, telling us, "I never thought I'd wake up and hear that news."
But, the linebacker added, "I think they can still reconcile."
By the way, we spoke to Marshall about his experience with "Hard Knocks" ... and ya gotta hear why he tells us his lone appearance on the show sucked!!!

Antonio Brown Allegedly Threatened to 'Hit' Raiders GM ... Plans to Suspend WR

12:41 PM PT -- ANTONIO BROWN JUST UNFOLLOWED THE RAIDERS AND DEREK CARR ON INSTAGRAM!!!! (hat tip Dov Kleiman).
11:28 AM PT -- Mike Mayock just gave a 15-second press conference about the ongoing drama with the superstar receiver ... and while he didn't say much, his demeanor spoke volumes.
“Antonio Brown is not in the building today. He’s not going to be practicing. I don't have any more information. When we do, I’ll get it to you. That’s it for today."
10:37 AM PT -- This is getting insane!!! Brown never got physical with Mayock but allegedly threatened to "hit him in the face," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Then, Brown allegedly punted a football and told Mayock, "Fine me for that!"
Yeah, this is not good.
9:51 AM PT -- During the exchange with Mayock, Brown reportedly had to be "held back by a couple of teammates," according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur.
Just suspend, baby.
The Oakland Raiders are about to put Antonio Brown on ice -- after the superstar WR "got into it" with general manager Mike Mayock ... so says ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"The Next Chapter: Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it Wednesday, and the team is now planning to suspend its star wide receiver, league sources tell ESPN."
It's obvious what's happening here ... Mayock fined Brown roughly $54,000 for missing team workouts in August.
Brown posted the disciplinary letter from the Raiders on social media and said the team was "hating" on him.
Clearly, Mayock and the Raiders didn't take kindly to the public attack which apparently led to the confrontation between AB and Mayock.
Schefter elaborated ... "Antonio Brown posted the fine letter on social media that Raiders’ GM Mike Mayock sent him. It led to an exchange, which is now leading to further discipline. This is not going away anytime soon."
Mayock had expressed displeasure with Brown for missing practices while dealing with his helmet issue -- after the league told AB he couldn't use his old helmet because it didn't pass the NFL's safety protocol.
Brown had also missed time dealing with foot issues after he suffered extreme frostbite from a cryogenic chamber mishap.
Adjust your fantasy football roster accordingly ...

Amber Portwood isn't about to let her ex-BF hightail it outta Indiana with their son without a fight ... and says he has zero reason to leave their home state because he can do his job anywhere.
Amber filed her opposition to Andrew Glennon's proposed move to Malibu. As we reported, Andrew filed his own docs last month, informing the court and Amber that he wanted to with their 1-year-old son, James.
Andrew said he had nothing tying him to Indiana, but Amber says ... not so fast! In her docs, she points out her ex has put down roots in the Hoosier state -- he's lived there for 2 years and, obviously, had a child during that time.
As for his claim he works on left coast ... Amber says that's BS, because he's been a day trader -- which she points out can be done from anywhere. In the docs, Amber calls his attempt to move for employment "disingenuous."
Amber also says the move would not be in the best interests of their kid. So, she's asking the judge to shoot down Andrew's request to relocate.

Judge Mathis Off The Hook in Alleged Spit Attack .... Valet Goes Silent

Exclusive
- 2.2K shares
Judge Mathis won't face criminal charges for allegedly spitting on a parking valet, and the alleged victim is clamming up ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the situation tell us ... the valet, who claimed the judge actually spit on him twice during a heated confrontation, will not press charges against Judge Mathis.
The Detroit Police Department tells TMZ ... just after last month's incident at Flood's Bar and Grille, police contacted the valet and asked if he wanted to press charges, and the valet told cops he needed to consult his attorney.
Since then, we're told police have made several attempts to follow up with the valet, but have not been able to make contact ... and, without cooperation from the valet, police can't make a case against Judge Mathis.
We obtained security cam footage of the incident, which shows Judge Mathis berating the valet as he sits in a Jeep. Mathis lunges his head forward into the car window -- the moment the valet claims the judge hocked a loogie right in his grill.
Judge Mathis denies spitting on the valet, who he claims kept him waiting outside the restaurant for 40 minutes. The guy accidentally left Mathis' keys in his pocket while he was parking another car.
The valet clamming up is an abrupt change of course ... as we reported, he initially wanted a DNA test to prove Mathis spit on him, filed a police report for assault and his legal team claimed there were at least 2 witnesses who can back up his story.
The valet's attorney, Karri Mitchell, declined to comment.

Frankie Edgar Give Me Conor McGregor 'Any Weight, Any Time!!'

If Conor McGregor's keepin' it 100 about wanting a Frankie Edgar fight, he's got a willing dance partner, 'cause the UFC superstar from Jersey tells TMZ Sports he'll literally fight Conor at "any weight, any time."
Remember, last week The Notorious told ESPN's Ariel Helwani that he admired Frankie ... and was interested in a bout with the former 145 pound champ.
But, is Frankie -- who declared he was going down to 135 pounds after losing to Max Holloway -- down for that fight?
Hell yes!
"I'm game, he knows I'm game. I'm supposed to go down to bantamweight, but I will obviously delay that for the McGregor fight."
Edgar says Conor's interview actually made him optimistic the fight could finally happen ... after years of talk.
"It gave me hope that maybe I could get a fight with him. I've been trying to fight this guy for a really long time."
McGregor said he was targeting an Octagon comeback before the start of next year ... and Frankie says he wants to fight once more before 2020 rolls around.
So, what's Edgar's message to Conor?
"Hey, lets stop faking the funk, man. Don't just say it. Lets follow through on it and get it done. I'm game. Like I said, any weight, any time. We could really do it anywhere. That's a fight you get remembered for."

Lonzo Ball Shades Lakers, Ex-BBB Partner ... In New Rap Song

Breaking News

3:28 PM PT -- Zo wants to clear the air ... saying his words are NOT supposed to be meant as a diss.
"I’m not dissing anybody I loved my time in LA. I use my music as an outlet to express things that happen in my life."
Lonzo Ball just shaded the hell outta his old NBA team for trading him this off-season ... and also went after his ex-business partner, Alan Foster, in the process.
It's clear, Zo is motivated by the blockbuster trade that sent him packing for NOLA in exchange for superstar Anthony Davis -- spittin', "You know I'm all about business ... L.A. is gonna regret their decision" in the hook of his song, "Last Days."
But, the Lakers aren't the only target in his song ... he also mentions his old family friend, Foster, who he's currently suing for allegedly stealing MILLIONS from the family's Big Baller Brand.
"Put my trust in the wrong person, lost out on some Ms ... put that on a side bet the next day at the MGM."
It's a huge mess with the Ball family right now -- Zo's manager, Darren "DMo" Moore, even encouraged people to throw their BBB shoes in the trash in wake of the drama.
On top of that, Lonzo covered up his BBB logo tattoo recently as well. Like we said, HUGE mess ... so it was only a matter of time before the Pelicans star addressed it in a song.
Of course, the oldest Ball bro spends a lot of time in the booth when he's not on the hardwood. He's even dropped a song about his younger bro, LaMelo.
Here's a bit of advice for people looking to cross Lonzo Ball -- don't ... unless you wanna start a rap beef too.

12:20 PM PT -- Shaq has taken a step back from criticizing his nemesis ... telling him to "dig deep," and if he does what he's supposed to, the Lakers will win a title.
Diesel told the Dan Patrick Show he wishes Dwight well and was referring to a different "Dwite" when he clearly took a jab at Howard in a tweet on Wednesday.
Dwight Howard is breaking his silence on Shaq's most recent barbs ... firing back at the big man's criticism by saying, "It's irrelevant to what I'm trying to do."
The Big Diesel has taken a couple shots at the newest Lakers center the past few days ... he shaded Howard to TMZ Sports on Monday and purposely misspelled his name in a tweet Wednesday. It's a beef that's more than 10 years old.
Howard finally responded in an Instagram Live post late Wednesday ... saying, "It's okay, I'm not here to talk about Shaq. What he said, what he did. It's irrelevant to what I'm trying to do."
"So, don't talk to me about what anybody else said about me. My focus is on one thing."
The two NBA superstars have had a history of going at each other's necks ... it all seemed to start in 2007 in an All-Star Game dance battle -- and continued with a feud over the "Superman" nickname.
Seems Shaq's all kinds of down for keeping the beef alive. As for Dwight, pretty clear the dude just wants to move on and focus on basketball.

Chuck Liddell To BJ Penn ... Stop Street Fighting!

Exclusive
- 6 shares
When it comes to street fights, Chuck Liddell has one important piece of advice for BJ Penn -- "It really isn't worth it at this point in our lives."
Liddell and Penn came up around the same time and are both members of the UFC Hall of Fame -- and both had a reputation for fighting ANY opponent, any time, any place.
But, after 40-year-old Penn got knocked out in a street fight in Hawaii this week, Liddell says Penn should probably take some time to think about his decisions.
In fact, when we saw Liddell leaving Rafi Anteby's birthday celebration at the Sofitel in L.A., we asked how he deals with potentially violent situations when he's out in public ... and Chuck told us he kills people with kindness these days.
"I usually have fun with them," Liddell says about hecklers ... "I usually just joke around with 'em. I have a good time."
As for Penn's fighting future, he's supposed to take on his last fight in the UFC against Nik Lentz ... but after getting KO'd in Hawaii, Chuck thinks BJ needs to "take some time after that and recover" first.

"They treated us like s**t over here so we don’t care for them much."
That's Oakland A's star closer Liam Hendriks talking about Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors ... and yeah, dude clearly HATED being neighbors with the former NBA champs!!!
Hendriks -- who's been an absolute beast for the A's on the mound this year -- just did an interview with The Athletic, and when it came to the Warriors, dude didn't hold anything back.
"When the Warriors sucked and the A’s were good, the A’s would give them tickets," Hendricks said.
"When the Warriors became good they decided to cut all ties and become a**holes. So, no love lost for them leaving."
In fact, Hendriks says even the Warriors' parking lot attendants treated him like dirt after the Warriors got good, saying, "I got told I’m not as important as a player for the A’s as a fan for the Warriors is."
"He wouldn’t let us out of the F Lot. We’re trying to get out and he wouldn’t let us out."
Good news for Hendriks ... the Warriors are no longer the A's' neighbors -- they're moving into a swanky new place in San Francisco next season.
And, if ya think Hendriks will miss them even a tiny bit ... you'd be dead wrong!!!
"We can make some improvements after they leave,” Hendriks reportedly said with a smile. "We can take their clubhouse because their clubhouse is way nicer than ours."

UFC's BJ Penn Knocked Out In Hawaii Street Fight ... Allegedly Tried to Defuse the Situation
-
Exclusive
- 16.6K shares
8:54 PM PT -- A rep for Penn just released the following statement in an attempt to clarify what happened before cameras started rolling ... telling TMZ Sports, "Upon meeting friends for a concert at the Lava Shack, words were exchanged between BJ and the acquaintance. From witness accounts, BJ tried multiple times to defuse the situation, but was hit repeatedly and knocked to the ground, as seen on the video."
The rep continues, "When he got back up he was disoriented, yet realized how serious the situation and threat was and felt there was a need to defend himself. We are thankful that BJ nor the acquaintance were not seriously injured.”
12:17 PM PT -- We spoke with someone very close to Penn who tells us BJ felt the other guy had been following him around and trying to bait him into a fight ... saying, "This guy is notorious for taunting BJ."
Our Penn source says ... after getting knocked to the ground, BJ was disoriented and his response was to go after the guy. And, that's what you saw in the original video.
11:48 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained new footage showing BJ Penn getting knocked out when the fight spilled into the street.
You can see Penn egging the other guy on -- the same guy from our first video -- and when BJ's opponent throws a left hook, it connects flush with Penn's chin, sending him crumpling to the ground, arms sprawled.
BJ's friends immediately help him back to his feet -- and a screaming match ensues between all of the bystanders.
We're told the knockout in the street came FIRST. And, later on, BJ reengaged, tackling the guy from behind and knocking him down.
We spoke to the other combatant who tells us he was hit with a "cheap shot" and that's why Penn was able to mount him. But, when they squared up face to face, BJ went down.
UFC legend BJ Penn was involved in another bar fight in Hawaii -- this time, the 40-year-old was sprawled out on top of another man raining down punches, and TMZ Sports has the video.
Penn was at the Lava Shack on the Big Island on Tuesday when he got into it with another dude -- and in classic Penn fashion, the fight ended up on the ground. We have a pic of Penn at the bar earlier in the night. You can see the clothing is the same.
Penn had his opponent mounted -- and his legs were hooked in -- and he threw at least 4 ferocious shots to the other man's head ... and it looks like all of the shots landed pretty clean.
You can see several men in red "Security" shirts move in and try to break the whole thing up.
Unclear what started the fight -- but we're told law enforcement responded to the scene. It does NOT appear Penn was arrested and cops say they have no record so far.
The situation is similar to a fight Penn got into back in June on Oahu -- where he pummeled a man outside of a strip club while a group of people looked on.
Cops were called to that incident as well -- but again, Penn was NOT arrested or charged with a crime.
We reached out to Penn's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.
Penn is slated to fight Nik Lentz in the near future but no date has been set. Dana White has said the fight will be the last of Penn's legendary career.
Penn is a UFC Hall of Famer with victories over legends like Matt Hughes and Matt Serra.

The former Phillies star is set to square up with Chris Morgan (that dude who went crazy in a bagel shop earlier this year) in a celeb boxing match on Sept. 28 ... and the trash talk has already been intense.
Dykstra clowned Bagel Guy's penis size to TMZ Sports earlier this month ... and even shoved the dude at their promo event in Philadelphia last week.
But, when we got Lenny's son, Luke Dykstra, out at Delilah earlier this week ... he told us Lenny is dead serious about his hatred for Bagel Guy -- saying he wants to kill him!!!
"It's real simple," Luke said ... "This guy called me, right? And, he told me, he's not stopping 'til he's dead!"
"Honestly, you hate to hear it, but it looks like if he doesn't stop, he's dead."
Seems the dislike for Bagel Guy runs in the Dykstra blood ... 'cause even Luke shaded the dude to our camera guy!!!

The breakup between Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger just got a lot nastier ... with AB telling the Steelers QB to "shut up already" ... because they were NEVER friends.
It's no secret the 2 butted heads several times when they were Steelers teammates ... with Brown even tweeting Ben had the "owner mentality" after getting blamed for a late-game interception last season.
Roethlisberger recently talked about how he handled that specific situation in an interview with Michele Tafoya ... saying, "I wish I wouldn't have done it."
"Obviously, we saw what happened and obviously it ruined a friendship," Ben said. "I just got caught up in the emotion of the heat of the battle."
But, AB is havin' NONE of that "friend" talk ... blasting his old QB for trying to make it sound like they were tight.
"Never friends just had to get my ends.......shut up already," AB tweeted on Tuesday.
Brown has been surrounded by drama for months now -- from Big Ben to helmets to a frozen fish head -- but it's clear he's ready to move on from the former.
