Los Angeles Rams

"Modern Family" star Ty Burrell ain't messin' around when it comes to his beloved football team ... saying if it comes down to the Rams gettin' a W ... or winning an Emmy, he's blue and gold all day.

L.A. Rams safety T.J. McDonald just took a hit ... the L.A. City Attorney's Office is charging him with non-alcohol related DUI ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, the 25-year-old was arrested on May 10th after crashing into a parked car. Law enforcement sources tell us they believe medication was involved.

The City Attorney charged McDonald with one count of driving under the influence of drugs. Still no word on what the drug or drugs.

He's facing up to 6 months jail time if convicted -- but it's extremely rare for a first-time DUI offender, like McDonald, to get locked up.

Neither the NFL nor the Rams have disciplined him yet.

The L.A. Rams are eating like they're New England Patriots, even if they're not scoring like them. Yet.

The Cousins Maine Lobster food truck rolled up to Rams practice on the Cal Lutheran University campus in Thousand Oaks and shelled out $4,000 worth of lobster to the players.

Seems like the team's already going Hollywood, since even their food has to be famous now. The owners of Cousins Maine struck a deal on "Shark Tank" with Barbara Corcoran.

The Rams have their home opener in L.A. this weekend, and they'll be fueled up on lobster tots, lobster grilled cheese, and lobster rolls.

Probably won't be enough to help 'em upset the Seahawks, but at least they got some good grub.

An expensive BMW registered to L.A. Rams star wide receiver Tavon Austin was involved in a police chase in California on Wednesday and the driver was arrested ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cops say Dominic Makell -- a longtime friend of the NFL star -- was driving a silver BMW X6 on a California highway. For some reason, cops tried to pull him over ... but Makell allegedly took off.

Eventually, the vehicle came to a stop and Makell was arrested for felony evading an officer and willful disregard. He was hauled to a nearby station where he was booked. Bail was set at $50,000.

We're told Austin's name was listed as the registered owner of the car on the official police report.

We spoke with the Rams and the team confirmed Austin was at practice all day and was NOT involved with the arrest.

We also reached out to Tavon's agent for comment -- so far, no word back.

Don't believe this crap about Jeff Fisher benching Jared Goff for Week 1 so he could "sense and absorb the pressures" of the NFL ... he DOESN'T TRUST THE ROOKIE ... so says Tony Gonzalez.

"Coach Fisher's been around for a long time," Gonzalez says ... "Obviously he doesn't trust him enough to even dress him ... so that says a lot right there."

Goff -- the #1 overall pick in the draft -- was listed as the 3rd string QB for Week 1 ... and was in street clothes as the Rams got blown out by the 49ers.

Fisher told the media he doesn't want to rush Goff -- even though the team traded SIX DRAFT PICKS to get him. Fisher had said he was pleased with Goff's progress.

Yeah, right.

The guy who invaded the field during the 49ers vs. Rams game last night -- and covered more ground than Case Keenum -- was arrested immediately following his 4th quarter romp.

The invasion actually went viral, thanks to the brilliant live commentary of MNF announcer Kevin Harlan ... who proclaimed, "The guy is drunk, but there he goes!"

He later described the incident as, "The most exciting thing to happen tonight."

It was.

But it came at a cost for the invader -- who happened to be an underage male ... according to the Santa Clara PD.

A police spokesperson confirms the kid was arrested for an unspecified misdemeanor.

More importantly ... maybe the Rams should give him a tryout.

More troubling news for Tre Mason -- another arrest warrant has been issued for the L.A. Rams running back after he failed to show up for a mandatory court appearance ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Mason was ticketed for driving with a suspended license on August 13th in Palm Beach, FL and was told he needed to appear before a judge on September 7th.

According to court records, the 23-year-old was a no-show ... so the judge issued a warrant for his arrest. When he turns himself in, his bond will be set at $2,000.

Mason's family has expressed serious concern for the NFL star's mental health over the past few months -- and have tried to get him help.

Mason's mother has previously told police her son hasn't been well since the end of the 2015 NFL season -- blaming multiple hits to the head sustained during his football career.

Ex #1 overall NFL draft pick Tim Couch says people need to chillax before labeling Jared Goff as a "bust" -- saying it's almost impossible to live up to #1 pick expectations ... and he needs time.

FYI, Goff was demoted to 3rd string QB this week -- shocking, considering the Rams made some big moves to get him -- and people are already throwing around the "B" word.

"The pressure is incredible," Couch says ... "Especially being the #1 overall pick. The expectations are almost impossible to live up to really. I think fans a lot of times expect too much too soon from you."

"You almost feel like every time you go out there that you have to prove to everyone why you were the #1 pick with every throw."

He would know ... the Browns selected the Kentucky QB with the #1 pick back in 1999. After a slow start, Couch found his rhythm in his 4th season and led the team to the playoffs.

So, what's his advice to Goff?

"I think the biggest thing is to not lose your confidence. To never doubt that you belong there ... He was the #1 pick for a reason. He's a very talented player."

Couch says despite the depth chart, it's ESSENTIAL Goff prepares every week as if he's the starter -- "When you got your shot, you have to ready to perform at a high level."

Tre Mason's mother has told police ... her son should NOT be playing football anymore -- because the head injuries he suffered in the NFL have had a devastating impact on his mental health.

TMZ Sports has obtained police footage from a July 27th incident when cops cited the L.A. Rams running back for illegally riding his ATV around his neighborhood in Palm Beach, Florida.

When they got to his home, cops told his family they were concerned Mason was too busy "f***ing around" and "should be playing football."

That's when Tre's mother dropped some real talk on the cops.

"No, he actually shouldn't," she said ..."because this is the [side of] football that nobody knows about."

"He's 22 in a 10-year-old's mindset right now ... Tre's not himself at all."

Tre's mother says the family could see an obvious change in Tre's personality after the 2015 NFL season ended.

As we previously reported, Tre has been at the center of several police incidents in the past few months -- and his family clearly believes football is the root of the problem.

Eddie George has some great advice for the Rams player who got caught with a girl in his dorm during training camp -- GET A HOTEL ROOM, BRO!!

The "Hard Knocks" cameras were rolling when Jeff Fisher cut wide receiver Deon Long recently -- after the dude was caught with a female in his room ... a direct violation of the team's no estrogen training camp policy.

So, we had to ask Eddie -- who played for Coach Fisher for years -- if players ever came up with plans to get around the rules ... and that's when EG dropped some sneaky (yet, pretty obvious) knowledge.

L.A. Rams running back Tre Mason led police on an ATV chase through Palm Beach, FL -- after officers say he was riding dangerously in a local park ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It all went down on July 27th around 3 PM -- when cops say Mason was tearing up the grass and dirt on an ATV while not wearing a helmet or eye protection.

Cops say he was doing wheelies and "spinning the tires so the dirt and grass would shoot out on to [the nearby road]."

One officer tried to approach Mason to talk -- but the RB drove right past him at a high rate of speed ... so cops gave chase. They eventually followed Mason back to his home, where he locked himself inside.

Cops spoke with a family member who convinced Tre to come outside -- where he was cited for operating an ATV on public roads and fleeing cops. Cops later towed the vehicle from the scene because it was not registered to anyone.

It's just the latest in a string of troubling police incidents involving Mason -- the 6th time cops have been called for an incident involving the 23-year-old in less than 5 months.

Mason's family has told officials they're concerned about Tre's mental health.

He's due in court later this month.

TMZ Sports has obtained the police report from Tre Mason's encounter with police on July 23rd -- which details strange behavior, a violent outburst and more evidence of mental illness.

We broke the story ... cops in Palm Beach, FL had visited the NFL running back 5 times in 4 months after his family reported a string of bizarre behavior, concerned about his mental health.

Now we know more from the July 23rd incident -- and it's clear he's not in good shape.

According to the report, filed by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office ... cops say Tre's mother had called because her son was "acting unusual and making irrational statements."

When Tre saw the cops, he threatened to call the White House and have them all fired -- and made bizarre statements about Al Qaeda ... so says the report.

Upon inspection, cops noticed a hole that had been punched in the wall of Tre's bedroom and a broken vase and lamp. Tre also had a cut on his hand, but was refusing medical attention.

The officer who filed the report made it clear Tre was in no position to make decisions on his own.

"I believe that Trence does not have the [redacted] ability to make decisions at this time and therefore he was transported to [redacted] where he was treated for the laceration and admitted for evaluation under the [redacted]."

Mason was a no-show at L.A. Rams training camp -- and head coach Jeff Fisher says the running back hasn't spoken with anyone in the organization since 2015.

More troubling news about L.A. Rams RB Tre Mason -- who's been at the center of 5 different incidents involving cops in the past 4 months, TMZ Sports has learned ... and his family is extremely concerned.

Cheer up, St. Louis Rams fans ... your ex-running back, Todd Gurley, says there's actually one thing he's gonna miss about your city ... even though he can still get it in L.A.

Gurley was out at LAX when our camera guy decided to flip the script on him ... instead of asking what he LOVES about L.A., we wanted to know what he's gonna MISS about St. Louis.

Check out the clip -- he throws out a delicious answer, but there's only one problem ... what he said he's gonna miss, he admits he can get here.

Klay Thompson says he is NOT DATING the L.A. Rams cheerleader who tagged her name on the NBA star's patio ... she's just a friend ... of a friend.

Social media blew up this week after Cherise Sandra posted a picture of herself outside Klay's house. The pic -- and the caption ("You & Me Baby") -- led some people to believe the two had a thing.

But it just AIN'T TRUE, according to Klay's rep, who tells us, "They aren't dating at all. The first time they met was that day. She was a guest of a guest, that's it."

As for Cherise's name in graffiti ... sources at the party tell us Klay was cool with the girls tagging the patio ... but only 'cause it's about to be renovated.
