A HIGHER PURPOSE

WE GOT TIM TEBOW'S MOM!!!! How cool is this?!

Tim Tebow's mother, Pamela, tells TMZ Sports her son is ready to play in the Big Leagues ... and she couldn't be more proud of the way he's playing!

FYI, Tim's been raking down in the minor leagues -- earning a spot in the Eastern League All-Star Game -- and Mama Tebow says he's ready for the call up to the Mets' MLB roster.

"We're partial, so we would vote for him to go up to the majors," Pam said at LAX ... "But, it's not up to us!"

We also asked how the Tebow family felt when Tim decided to make the switch from football to baseball -- and she was super candid about it.

"Timmy never had any bitterness. He had such a great attitude, because he believed it was God's plan for him. And then, we just all supported him because he still had a competitive drive."

"And he just still wanted to play ball. So baseball was second, so why not try it?"

"I think he's an example for all the little boys that maybe are afraid to try something because people don't think they'll succeed. So, you don't make it? At least you tried! That's what his main purpose is, he really wants to be a good example for them."

And, if you want some Mama Tebow bible scripture of the day? She gives us some of that too!

LeSean McCoy Victim Suggests NFL Star Orchestrated Brutal Attack

Published | Updated

The victim in the LeSean McCoy home invasion has lawyered up and appears to be pointing the finger at the NFL star ... implying he had a role in the violent incident that left her bloody and beaten.

Delicia Cordon has hired attorney Tanya Mitchell Graham -- who issued a statement saying Delicia was sleeping early Tuesday morning when a man entered her Georgia home and pistol whipped her.

Graham says the assailant demanded specific items of jewelry that had been given to her by McCoy -- jewelry that McCoy had previously demanded she return to him. She claims the victim also sustained injuries to her wrist when the assailant tried to rip off her bracelet.

Graham claims before the incident, McCoy "would often suggest to Ms. Cordon that she could be robbed because the jewelry was expensive."

Graham -- who's joined by associate attorneys Demetrius Price and Kiarra Brown -- never straight-up accuses McCoy of criminal activity, but strongly implies it.

For example, Graham claims the assailant entered the house with NO signs of forced entry. She also claims McCoy changed the security system at the house and did not give Cordon access to the new one.

She also claims McCoy has a documented history of having other people do his dirty work for him -- and references the time he allegedly ordered other people to evict her from his home in June and remove her furniture from the house.

Graham says despite the fact Cordon and McCoy have had a relationship since 2016, he has NOT called to check in on her since the details of the violent attack went public.

For his part, McCoy has denied any involvement and says the allegations are "baseless and offensive."

BACK IN THE STATES

Justin Bieber and the future Mrs. Bieber, Hailey Baldwin, are back on US soil after their engagement fun in the islands -- and they're getting flooded with well wishes at every turn.

The couple returned to NYC Tuesday and, as soon as Justin stepped out of their ride, fans and photogs congratulated him on popping the question. Hailey got the same treatment once she stepped out too.

As we showed you ... HB and JB were happy to party with fans down in the Bahamas right after they got engaged. Let's just say, they seem kinda partied out now that they're back home.

We broke the story ... Hailey's dad, Stephen Baldwin, gave Bieber the green light weeks ago to propose. Looks like they'll be soaking up those good family vibes on the east coast.

Kim Kardashian West CA Lawmaker on Her Prison Reform Plea ... Thanks, But We've Got This

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian West isn't alone in her fight to help women in California prison -- the Speaker of the State Assembly is on her side too, but ain't exactly crediting Kim's celebrity for sparking change.

TMZ broke the story, KKW made a visit to a women's prison Saturday ... then made a plea to Gov. Jerry Brown to sign a bill prohibiting male correctional officers from conducting pat down searches on female prisoners.

Before it gets to Gov. Brown, state lawmakers have to vote on it and Speaker of the State Assembly Anthony Rendon made it clear he's supporting the bill ... but definitely not because of Kim.

His press secretary tells TMZ ... "Unlike Donald Trump, the California Legislature doesn’t need awkward photo ops with Kim Kardashian to do what’s right."

It's an obvious pot shot at POTUS for the pic he took with KKW during her visit to the Oval Office to request a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson.

Rendon's office added, "The Speaker looks forward to supporting this legislation again and sending it to the Governor."

Young Thug's Ex-Manager Scores 7-Figure Settlement ... vs. YT's Finance Guys

Published | Updated

Young Thug's former manager has scored a huge victory in his case against the rapper's financial team ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the manager, Manny Halley -- who has repped huge stars like Keyshia Cole and Nicki Minaj -- will get a 7-figure check from David Weise & Associates after the sides settled a defamation suit.

TMZ broke the story ... Halley sued YT's former finance guys, claiming David Weise & Associates sent an email alleging he racked up more than $200k in unauthorized charges. Manny, who had said the charges were for YT's private jets for his concert tour, said the company was out to get him after he tried getting the company fired for bungling YT's financial affairs.

But all seems to be water under the bridge and they agree there was no criminal conduct. They chalked it up to a simple misunderstanding. Case closed.

Dan Rather on Thai Cave Rescue Makes Me Say, 'Hallelujah!!' ... A Break from all the BS

Published | Updated

Dan Rather says he can handle a little Hollywood interference to make a Thailand cave rescue movie, because the story is just that great.

We got the CBS News legend Tuesday in NYC hours after it was announced that all 12 boys from a youth soccer team and their coach were successfully saved from a flooded cave after being trapped for more than 2 weeks. Dan had 1 word for it this AM ... any guesses?

Our camera guy also asks what he makes of Hollywood types rushing to crank out a movie about the rescue, which Dan acknowledges is definitely going on and seems to frown upon.

But, like he says ... some positive news for once beats any potential exploitation. He'll take it.

LeSean McCoy Denies Attacking Woman 'Baseless and Offensive Claims'

Published | Updated

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy says allegations he beat up his ex-GF are "totally baseless and offensive" -- saying he has not spoken to the alleged victim in months.

And TMZ Sports has learned McCoy recently SUED the woman in an effort to kick her out of the home that he owns.
