Looks like that USC kid may have made up his "hero" story.....

[opie1988]

@SportsCenter: USC head coach Steve Sarkisian says school has received calls questioning Josh Shaw's heroic story of saving nephew. USC is now vetting.

Wow!

A black guy jumping into a pool?

Fake fake fake.

Blacks like pools. Its natural/open bodies of water that scare them. Still plausible.

[Footballtime]

I have seen alot of black folks BBQ, never once was there a pool or body of water within a mile... So not shocked story is not true.....

[TwoWays]

It was believable. But then the statement came out afterwords that he would save anyone, even if it wasn't family.

[El Nino]

Story seemed odd. So, he's just letting a 7 year old swim without supervision? Probably was drunk and jumped off the balcony.

[William Walters]

Josh just may have jumped from a balcony after an apartment break-in. Not good for Trojan secondary.

[greenhippo]

Luckily it won't matter week 1. They're playing Fresno

[jjgold]

I would throw him off the team

[Optional]

There were several, unverified, versions of how Shaw injured himself circulating on social media, including claims that he had jumped from a third-floor balcony to escape someone who was chasing him.


You'd think it had to be someone with a machete to make a big guy like that jump off a 3rd floor balcony to get away.

Shouldn't ESPN review some of these stories before airing them? Who's the editor on staff when this story broke?

Its a girlfriend/jilted lover thing with a robbery cover up and nephew save kicker. 100%.

USC football player Josh Shaw was named in a burglary report ... stemming from an incident that went down Saturday night ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports.

We're told Shaw was NOT named as a suspect in the burglary.

Here's the breakdown -- we're told someone called police to report a suspicious person "shimmying" down the side of a building in downtown L.A. near the USC campus. The tipster gave a description of the suspicious person to police.

We're told cops went to the building to investigate -- and spoke to a woman who lived in the building. Cops gave the woman the description of the suspicious person and asked if she had seen anyone who matched the description.

We're told the woman said, "Yes, that sounds like my boyfriend Josh Shaw."

Cops took a "burglary report" -- even though nothing was reported stolen -- and in it, mentioned the connection to Shaw.

Cops later spoke with Shaw on the phone and the USC football player denied ever being at the building.

USC says it's investigating Shaw's claims that he saved his nephew from drowning Saturday night -- and injured his ankles jumping off a 2 story building to rush to his nephew's aid.

Cops tell us they're going to re-interview everyone involved in light of new information.

Story developing ...

@SportsCenter: BREAKING: USC's Josh Shaw admits to school that he lied about how he suffered his ankle injuries over the weekend. http://t.co/rdHzWmrhZN

[Vegas39]

USC has suspended him indefinitely

[TwoWays]

USC has suspended him indefinitely

Not suspended = same result

suspended = no play = same result

i think he did the right thing by doing the adult version of dog ate my homework.

[DrStale]

"I appreciate that Josh has now admitted that he lied and has apologized." - Sarkisian

Ha, appreciates the fact that he admitted he lied when he got caught. What is there to appreciate? Kid is an idiot who got busted and had no choice but to admit it so he could stay on the team.

[jjgold]

he will be drinking on a street corner with paper bag in 4 years

hey now, there are some solid players at George State. Hear rumors they might be relegating Fresno to Div 2 after this embarrassment of a season.

Looks like his teammates called the guy out. Knew he was lying and tried to get it away from the team....
