Is this the same Don Yeager, formerly of SI, who unfairly trashed Mike Price for getting too fucked up one disastrous evening? Who among us does not get too fucked up at the TBar? Who? Speak, you self-righteous teetotalers!

Also exposed in the book:

- Petros Papadakis received a 1986 Ford Escort with only 27,500 miles on it in exchange for coming to USC
- Reggie Bush once shot a man...for snoring.
- Before the 2006 Rose Bowl, Matt Leinart was seen at the Roosevelt Hotel at 3 a.m., snorting a line of Hunter S. Thompson's ashes off of Paris Hilton's ass.
- Pete Carroll's real first name is Thadeus P. Wainscott III

Does anyone else find it amusing that the book 'Tarnished Heisman' about a standout USC football running back, who brought much fame and fortune to USC is about ... Reggie Fucking Bush.

Seriously, even if everything in Yaeger's book is true, hasn't OJ done more to fuck with USC's and the Heisman's image than any other USC player?

Just a thought.

Pete Carroll, 6-10 with the Jets. Coaches a Patriots team wholly created by Parcells to 10-6, then makes them steadily worse for two years before being fired. A massively arrogant prick, to boot.

So apparently Pete Carroll expressed "no interest" in the Falcons job to the point that you linked to an article that says he's interested in the article? Weird.

And yet, somehow, Reggie Bush wound up with a car about 1/5 as fly as Darren McFadden's.
