Via USC's official football website:

"A USC football student manager has been relieved of all duties with the Trojan football team for intentionally deflating, below NCAA-regulated levels, some game footballs used by USC's team during the first half in last Saturday's game against Oregon.

Game officials discovered and re-inflated three of the balls before the game and two others at halftime. All balls were regulation in the second half.

When informed of this allegation by the Pac-12, USC investigated it immediately. The student manager confirmed that he had, without the knowledge of, or instruction from, any USC student-athlete, coach, staff member or administrator, deflated those game balls after they had been tested and approved by officials prior to the game."

Let me get this straight. USC wants us to believe this student manager, all on his own, without any instruction from ANYONE, randomly decided to deflate some balls? OK, sure.

Former Major League Baseball second baseman Jeff Kent was voted off the island on Survivor last night. His exit speech was a doozy.

Victoria's Secret taped their annual Fashion Show last night. Pictures were taken.

Poor Joakim Noah. The Bulls center tried to win fans a free Big Mac Tuesday night by hoisting up a garbage time three-pointer against the Magic, and now his coach and Orlando players are ticked off at him.

First comment about this clip: The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Penn Station (I deal with both every day) are the worst things in America. Second comment: Excellent videobomb.

Gotta love the look on this woman's face when she gets power back.

Did you vote in yesterday's vice presidential election?
