Jack Del Rio had a miserable night in handcuffs following his OWI arrest last month ... TMZ Sports has obtained police video showing he begged an officer to let him "take a leak" -- before he repeatedly screamed and moaned in pain while in the back of a squad car.

The scene all unfolded in Madison, Wisc. back on Nov. 8, after Del Rio had allegedly rammed his vehicle through a person's fence ... and then attempted to flee the area on foot.

Cops say they were able to catch up to the former NFL head coach on a street near the crash site -- and in a police report, officers wrote he reeked of booze.

Bill Belichick just confirmed on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he does indeed have interest in the UNC job ... and he did speak further about the role with Tar Heels officials earlier this week.

Seems Bill Belichick's girlfriend wouldn't mind seeing him in Carolina blue ... 'cause Jordon Hudson's social media activity on Monday indicated she's a fan of him accepting the vacant UNC head coaching job.

Hudson wrote in a comment on her Instagram page to a Tar Heel supporter that sure appeared to be a stamp of approval on Bill potentially going to Chapel Hill in 2025.

The UNC backer wrote to Jordon, "Tell Bill to come to UNC!!" ... and she responded by saying, "I'll pass the message along..."

Bill Romanowski tells TMZ Sports despite the repeated head trauma he suffered during his NFL career, he's still feeling great ... although he admits he has to work at it daily.

The legendary tough guy played linebacker for four different teams in the league from 1988 to 2003 ... and he revealed to us this week he ended up with "20 documented concussions" in that timeframe.

But, he said as of now, he's showing no signs of ill effects from the brain blows -- although he did relent he's working like a dog daily to make sure things stay that way.

Ty Law is running to his former head coach's defense ... telling TMZ Sports that Bill Belichick is absolutely NOT washed.

"If anything," the Hall of Famer said of his former Patriots manager, "the game has to catch up to his knowledge!"

Pregnant Gisele Bündchen was glowing and showing during her Costa Rican escape with BF Joaquim Valente ... proudly flaunting her growing baby bump.

Gisele rocked a cropped white top, showing off her bump as the family cruised around, all smiles and good vibes.

Timothée Chalamet isn't just a master of his craft on screen -- he's also a football know-it-all, shocking everyone with his expert knowledge on "College GameDay."

The actor stopped by the ESPN show to plug his new Bob Dylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown," rocking a hoodie with the film's name under a pink puffer jacket -- and the dude dropped serious sports tidbits, making shockingly spot-on picks for the Texas Vs Georgia SEC title game.

The Oscar nominee came in hot with the energy, dropping stats like a pro, comparing team progress, and even name-checking some lesser-known players.

The Florida high school quarterback who beat Tom Brady in a passing competition apparently has a solid head on his shoulders to go along with a great throwing arm ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he's got very modest plans for his $100K winnings.

If you haven't seen it yet, Jake Balanovich scored the big payday as part of MrBeast's recent competition video ... where the senior popped four balloons with a football just before Brady could.

Many expected the teenager to do something extravagant with the prize ... but he said in an interview with us this week he's "just planning on being smart with that money, not blowing it on anything dumb."

The NFL has closed its latest investigation into sexual assault accusations made against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson earlier this season, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

We're told the league found insufficient evidence to prove a personal conduct policy violation took place ... and the matter is now a thing of the past.

The 29-year-old signal-caller -- whose season ended after he tore his Achilles back in Week 7 -- was hit with a lawsuit in September ... with a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her in 2020.

Josh Allen is calm, cool and collected under pressure ... but he was anything but when he had a ring in his pocket -- admitting he was shaking in his boots when he proposed to his now-fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld.

Babcock caught up with the former national champion following the Wolverines 13-10 win over his alma mater on Saturday. While Clarett hoped the team would compete for the Big Ten championship this weekend, he's not going to cry over spilled milk.

"I'm not the person to cry over one moment when you have a bunch of other things in front of you. We still have the playoffs coming up. Chances are we'll play here either December 21 or 22, and we have a handful of games."

Tom Brady took a break from his NFL game prep to give a special shoutout on Thursday -- wishing his daughter, Vivian, a happy birthday!!

"Here’s to a great day filled with all the laughter and love that you deserve. I love you infinity x infinity!!! ❤️❤️❤️"

Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie, is defending her use of dirty words around her kids ... saying she's teaching the youngins how to be strong, independent and unfiltered.

The Philadelphia Eagles legend's partner addressed her stance on the matter in the debut episode of her "Not Gonna Lie" podcast with Wave Sports + Entertainment on Thursday ... in a segment fittingly titled "F*** Around and Find Out."

While Kelce initially said he was exaggerating a tad when claiming she swears in front of her three girls "daily," she admitted it does happen frequently ... but Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett know better than to use "grown-up words."

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair says if people want to make him a bad guy, he'll show them a bad guy ... sharing a message about going full "villain" mode after his suspension was upheld.

The NFL announced Al-Shaair's appeal was denied on Wednesday ... meaning he will serve his full three-game ban for his controversial hit on Trevor Lawrence during Sunday's game, which ultimately landed the quarterback on Injured Reserve.

Shortly after the league's decision was made public, Al-Shaair went to social media to weigh in ... and while he initially apologized for the entire incident on Monday, he's no longer trying to defend his name -- instead, he's leaning into the new narrative.

Ty Law is lovin' Ryan Day at Ohio State -- after all, his Wolverines have beaten the coach four straight years -- but he tells TMZ Sports even if he weren't a Michigan alum ... he'd seriously encourage the school to keep the guy on its sidelines.

Law made it clear on Wednesday -- just a few days after the Buckeyes dropped another game to its hated rival, 13-10 -- that despite Day's recent inability to defeat UM, he would still rather roll with the 45-year-old for the foreseeable future.

"You really think about it," Law said, "when you peel the onion back, do you really want to fire a guy who's always competitive, who's always in the hunt for the national championship?"
