Heard about this on my drive home. Incredible awareness and disregard for the consequences because of the much more important need at hand.

This story is still developing. It's a good story if it stays true.

USC/Sarkisian reportedly investigating claims that Shaw did not sprain ankle saving nephew. Sarkisian says he has received contradicting stories on Shaw and what happened.

@HeatherBrit: Sources: Shaw was involved in an incident involving domestic abuse & jumped 3rd story window while running from LAPD

If he tore up his ankles jumping while running from the cops you think they would have caught him.

Well, this story 180ed fast.

Boy did USC screw up. No matter what the real story is, they look like idiots for letting this fake feel good story go public.

"I would do it again for whatever kid it was, it did not have to be my nephew," Shaw told the team website.

This is my favorite now-ironic comment from the USC blog:

A true Florida Gator through and through. You can take the man out of Florida, but you can't take the Florida out of the man.

This is the one that demonstrates just how much changed:

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 ...

I was going to post this morning that this story made it hard to hate everything about U$C (my normal operating mode).

Within a few hours - back to normal!

[Coop Cat]

Idiot. How did he ever think that he would get away with that story?

I saw the original story on twitter and thought "How un-USC like...awesome" I made a positive comment about it. Hours later I realized, oh ok...things are the way they should be over there. Retracted comment.

LAPD actually goes and investigates a suspicious person? I call BS on that.

I stand by this post.

Great STORY.

Nephew appears to be well and never in danger, so speedy recovery...I guess.

I feel like maybe Sark just didn't understand what he was told. Like maybe "saved my drowning nephew" is slang or a euphemism for I'm not going back to prison.

[Bruins01]

USC's scout team CB-turned-RB Anthony Brown just quit the team and called Sark racist and a slave-driver on his way out.

Wow.

Wow.

I'm feeling not full on this. I want to know what he means by Sark treated him like a slave in his office. I'm picturing whips, racial slurs, and cotton.
