Kurt Warner -- 7 Kids Go Hollywood!! Making BANK Off Dad's Biopic

EXCLUSIVE

Ex-NFL great Kurt Warner's set to rake in almost a million dollars for a movie about his life, and he's sharing the wealth by writing his SEVEN kids into the deal.

FOX bought the movie rights to Kurt's biography "All Things Possible" a year ago, but since 5 of his kids are under age -- a minors contract has to be filed with the courts. Turns out dear ol' dad was very generous.

TMZ Sports obtained a copy of the contracts for Jada (13), Kade (15), Elijah (10), and twins Sienna and Sierra (8) -- and according to the docs ... they will split 25% of all salaries the family earns. Kurt and his wife Brenda's 25-year-old son Zachary, who suffered brain damage as a child ... also gets a 5% cut.

The other 70% will be split between Kurt, Brenda, and their adult daughter Jesse.

So far the family's only earned $135K ... a down payment for the movie rights. If FOX goes forward, and shoots the movie they'll get another $715K. The floodgates really open if the movie is a box office hit -- they'll get a bunch of bonuses, potentially as high as $200K.

Kurt deserves way more than golf balls or a tie next Father's Day.

Jim Brown Lawsuit -- Ex-Wife Unloaded Your Championship Ring ... Says Auction House

EXCLUSIVE

Jim Brown's 1964 NFL Championship ring fell into the hands of an auction house because his ex-wife hocked it way back in the 1980s ... this according to the auction house Brown is suing.

The Cleveland Browns great sued Lelands Collectibles last month to block an upcoming auction of the ring. He alleged it had been stolen from him decades ago ... and therefore Lelands had no right to sell it.

Now Lelands has filed a countersuit, and in the docs it explains that Brown had left the ring with his ex-wife Sue Brown when they initially split up, and he left Ohio for Hollywood.

Sue and Jim's divorce was finalized in 1972 and she got the Ohio home where they lived together, a condo -- AND the title to the Championship Ring ... according to the docs. Sue eventually sold the ring to a sports memorabilia collector sometime in the 80s.

The Ring went to a couple of other collectors before ending up at Lelands. The auction house is suing JB for $2 million in damages it says it's suffered as a result of his lawsuit.
