Logan Paul pulled a switcheroo on a news outlet looking to do a deep dive into his cryptocurrency practices -- sending a look-alike to take part in an interview in his place.

It's all laid out in BBC's new documentary titled "Logan Paul: Bad Influence?" ... which claims to have "new evidence" to back accusations the internet superstar promoted crypto projects without disclosing to his fans he had a stake in them -- resulting in big paydays.

In the project, Matt Shea said his team tried to get Paul to sit down with them for months with no luck ... before he finally caved and agreed to host a Q&A at his gym in Puerto Rico.

8:44 AM PT -- Adam Schefter tells TMZ Sports (via X) ... his memorable news-breaking moment happened AFTER knocking boots, not during the deed.

Glad we could clear that up.

Adam Schefter's making it clear his job is his No. 1 priority -- even in the bedroom -- revealing Wednesday he's broken a story mid-coitus!!!

ESPN's NFL insider dropped the bombshell on his colleague, Kevin Clark, during Tuesday's episode of "This Is Football" ... just after KC asked Shefty where the "weirdest place" was that he's been first to report news.

After a few sheepish moments from the journalist, the 57-year-old laughed ... and said it was actually after he had "spent time with this woman for the first time."

Like millions of others across the globe, Travis Kelce spent a portion of his Friday night staring at Mike Tyson's bare ass ... and he said this week the sight was "the funniest s*** ever!!"

Taylor Swift's boyfriend broke it all down for Jason Kelce on the brothers' latest episode of "New Heights" ... explaining he got a real long look at Tyson's rump just ahead of the boxing legend's big fight with Jake Paul -- as his Netflix stream paused on the now-infamous locker room moment.

The younger Kelce said his first reaction was laughter -- and then he said he whipped out his phone to send the scene to "f***ing everyone" so they could tune in.

Rafael Nadal's 23-year career has come to an end ... and the legendary tennis player was overwhelmed with emotion as fans gave him a heartfelt ovation at the Davis Cup.

Nadal -- who was the No. 1-ranked singles player for 209 weeks -- had his last match on Tuesday in the Davis Cup quarterfinals in Malaga, Spain ... a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Botic van de Zandschulp.

After the final point, Nadal was honored with a retirement ceremony ... and the crowd's response left the 38-year-old in tears.

We're told the running back officially sold his Nashville pad on Tuesday -- some eight months after he signed with Baltimore -- nabbing a whopping $3.1 million for the place.

It's a ton of coin ... but check out the images, the home -- listed by Devin Roper of Compass -- is incredible.

Jay Cutler and Samantha Robertson have taken their relationship to the next level ... they are reportedly engaged!

Sources tell PEOPLE the former star NFL quarterback and mom of two, who have been dating for more than a year …. are officially hearing wedding bells in the near future.

The pair, who went Instagram official in September 2023, were in attendance at the “Yellowstone” season premiere in early November where Samantha was seen wearing what looked to be an impressive engagement ring.

The ring girls for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight found out about their viral fame in real time ... with two of the breakout stars from the night telling TMZ Sports their phones were blowing up like crazy throughout the event!!

Lexi Williams and Raphaela Milagres were among the five stunning models picked to work the massive card ... which drew 108 million viewers on Netflix, making it the most-streamed sporting event of all time.

The two -- who already had large followings on social media -- tell us they noticed a big bump in their followers and direct messages ... surely from the folks tuning in to the festivities who wanted to learn more about them.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann got into a tense exchange at their Georgia mansion ... and cops had to intervene.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police responded to Kim and Kroy's home Monday after someone called 911 and reported an argument.

Our sources say the responding officers spoke to Kim and Kroy and determined it was just a verbal exchange ... and there was no physical altercation involved.

The woman who ran onto the field buck nekkid during the CFL Grey Cup won't be able to perform an encore at BC Place -- 'cause she's been banned from the stadium, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The lady pulled off the stunt Sunday during the Toronto Argonauts' 41-24 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the championship game ... when she jogged around wearing nothing but a smile as she waved to fans.

Luckily for security, they didn't need to chase her down to resolve the issue ... as she calmly walked over to them on her own accord.

The Dallas Cowboys might suck, but their home venue doesn't -- officials tell TMZ Sports they've found nothing wrong with AT&T Stadium's structure despite Monday night's metal-falling incident.

A spokesperson for the City of Arlington told us Tuesday the city's building inspector and deputy fire marshal have deemed Jerry World safe ... less than 24 hours after people on AT&T Stadium's field were nearly hit by debris that came crashing down from the facility's ceiling just before the Cowboys vs. Texans kickoff.

The rep says they're confident "there are no structural issues with the venue or its retractable roof" -- as officials ID'ed the concerning "Monday Night Football" scene to be merely a problem with a cable tray lid covering.

Despite streaming issues ... tons of people from all corners of the world flocked to Netflix to catch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson throw down Friday night -- with an estimated 108 million people streaming the bout!!

"[A rematch] with Jake Paul? In a heartbeat," Fury said to ESPN on Tuesday. "Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, I think me and him are set in stone."

Philadelphia 76ers' rookie Jared McCain still makes time for social media and Spotify streaming -- and is adding his 2 cents to the All-RapCaviar Teams debate!!!

RapCaviar's editors recruited JM to vote for his 2024 Rapper and Rookie of the Year ... likely a much more fun task than Tuesday's team meeting where the 76ers argued about being last place in the Eastern Conference!!!

Arguments are flying left and right over the selections ... Drake is Spotify's top rapper in terms of streams but was only selected to the 3rd Team, and the 2024 Rap Wars were an undeniable factor!!!

The streaming quality during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight was so bad, Netflix has actually just been hit with a class-action lawsuit over it, TMZ Sports has learned.

Court documents we obtained show Ronald "Blue" Denton filed the suit in Florida on Monday ... just three days after he says he and thousands of others struggled to watch Netflix's broadcast of El Gallo's big win over Iron Mike.

Denton claims that as soon as he and others tuned in to the broadcast at around 8 PM ET on Friday -- they "were faced with legendary problems, including: no access, streaming glitches, and buffering issues."

Mike Tyson isn't the only nearly 60-year-old former boxing champion returning to the ring ... Oliver McCall -- known for shocking the world with his knock out of Lennox Lewis in 1994 -- will be fighting at 59 years old!

We're told the "I Had Some Help" crooner is, in fact, one of the three main acts for Coachella ... which means he will likely close out the whole shebang.
