 Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2014 7:42 pm Post subject: USC cornerback Josh Shaw LIED about getting injured rescuing his nephew from drowning. |
|
|
| Quote: | USC cornerback Josh Shaw is regarded by teammates as a leader.
He also is now a hero.
Shaw, a fifth-year senior, will be sidelined indefinitely because of ankle injuries suffered while rescuing a relative in distress in a swimming pool.
Shaw suffered two high-ankle sprains Saturday night after he leaped from a second-story balcony to come to the aid of a 7-year-old nephew who cannot swim, USC said Monday. Shaw, who was attending a family function at an apartment in Palmdale, landed on concrete and then crawled into the pool to assist his nephew, the school said. |

This reminds me of the time I punched the wall and broke my hand killing a king cobra just before it bit some some 7 year old. I'd do it again in a heartbeat... for anyones kid.

They just said on espn that they're hearing conflicting reports on it. Saying the drowning never took place.

^Not sure if I believe that either.
Something about jumping down multiple stories and only ending up with 2 high-ankle sprains makes me scratch my head.

wouldn't that be in a police report then? Did he convince the cops to report that he was saving his nephew instead? I call bs on that one.

| Quote: | USC coach Steve Sarkisian said Tuesday that he's received several calls questioning the validity of cornerback Josh Shaw's story describing how he sustained two high ankle sprains over the weekend. The school is vetting the tale.
"I'm going to refrain from talking about the situation itself," Sarkisian said on Tuesday's Pac-12 coaches' teleconference. "I will say that Josh had never given us any indication not to believe his story. He's been a kid of very high character for us, a team leader, elected team captain. I had no reason not to believe him.
"Now, we did receive some calls that question the validity of his story. We're vetting. We're doing our due diligence on that as we speak." |

Mason and Ireland are some serious puss1es. They were saying that if he lied, it wouldn't be a big deal, and it would just be college kids being college kids. I'm glad I stopped listening to the garbage on 710 ESPN.
If he did, in fact lie, the guy is a flat-out scumbag. |

If he is lying and it's true that he was committing domestic abuse, how can they say it's just kids being kids? WTF |

Isn't 710 the official USC station? That's probably why. Ireland is a company man through and through. |

I heard a good point today that even though USC is not at fault if this guy is lying, they brought this all onto themselves. They were the ones who were reporting that he saved his nephew without fact-checking, when they could have very easily reported that he suffered 2 ankle sprains.

I was wondering where you were....bring on the hate...
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/USC-Football-Player-Josh-Shaw-Admits-to-Lying-About-Ankle-Injuries--272949621.html
I mean you knew it was pretty fishy when you realized the only people backing him up was his sister.....whom Shaw probably told her to keep her mouth shut. |
