Cam Newton didn't need words to get his point across on Friday ... instead, he elected to bark like a dog when breaking down the Dallas Cowboys' woes -- and his cohosts' reactions were priceless.

The funny moment happened during ESPN's "First Take" minutes ago ... when Newton, Stephen A. Smith, and the rest of the team discussed what America's Team needs to do to bounce back after its 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions last week.

And, Newton -- who got the gig earlier this month -- came outta nowhere and started channeling his inner IShowSpeed.

9:09 AM PT -- We've now obtained the arrest report in which cops claim they responded to a call at around 5 PM Thursday about a White Ram that had allegedly rear-ended a car and had attempted to pay off the other driver with $2,000 so they wouldn't call the police.

When they arrived, they say they found Jay Cutler staggering around, slurring his speech and smelling of alcohol. Officers say Cutler claimed he hadn't had anything to drink before amending his statement and saying he had a little. Cops say he turned down the field sobriety tests. At that point, the officer arrested Jay.

Another officer searched his car and says he found a rifle in the backseat and a loaded Glock handgun in the center console.

His court date is set for January 2025.

Jay Cutler spent time in a Tennessee jail Thursday after he was busted for driving while intoxicated and gun possession ... TMZ has learned.

Floyd Mayweather, boxing legend ... and landlord?!

TMZ Sports is told Mayweather has inked a massive, $402 million real estate deal to buy more than 60 buildings in New York City ... totaling more than 1,000 units around the Big Apple.

"Growing up I used to dream about owning just one home by myself, when you work hard you can achieve anything," Mayweather told us after agreeing to the deal, and sending a huge chunk of change to the sellers.
