USC CB Shaw saves nephew, injures self in process
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/college-football/story/_/id/11409177/josh-shaw-usc-two-ankle-sprains-heroic-act
He's lucky he didn't injure himself worse than two high ankle sprains jumping from a second story balcony onto concrete, but at least he saved his nephew's life. With him gone for a questionable period of time, looks like another freshman will be starting for USC with that Stanford game looming.

Shucks those types of sprains last a long time. Especialy for a corner who relies on explosive movements in every direction which puts the hurt on the ankles. Sorry Sark!
-
At least he didn't hurt his hips.
-
He's probably out for at least 2 months at least from being a productive player standpoint ...
Gives Sark another built-in excuse. -

The stars couldn't have aligned any better for Sark.
Two freshman on the OL ... sprained ankles ... new coach in Fresno ...
How in the hell is he expected to win! -
The new coach in Fresno... 'ol What's-his-Name.

Shaw seems like an OKG. The Trojans will be fine without his limp wrists on the field.

Focusing on that instead of his week 13 and 14 game plan sounds... tedious.DerekJohnson said:The new coach in Fresno... 'ol What's-his-Name.

McIntyre is the name you're looking for.DerekJohnson said:The new coach in Fresno... 'ol What's-his-Name.
You're welcome.

The story is a bit vague... was Shaw jumping to land in the pool? ...but fell short and landed on the concrete next to it? Ouch.
But props to him for risking his health to save a struggling toddler in a pool. -
Definitely an OKG. Takes balls to jump off a 2nd floor balcony I to concrete.
Now the bad part is the patented Sark Excuse Machine will fire up and he gets to blame a loss or 2 on a high character kid who sacrificed to save his nephew. -
There's a *gurgle* joke here somewhere, but I am too dumb to figure out where.
-
Fuck USC. I hope he gets AIDS while Haden butt-rapes him.

i took it as he saw his toddler nephew going into the water and he jumped from the 2nd floor onto concrete to save him and when his ankles blew he crawled over to get the kid out. i think this is a pretty awesome move - pure instinct. kudos to Shaw.Baphomet said:The story is a bit vague... was Shaw jumping to land in the pool? ...but fell short and landed on the concrete next to it?

This is probably why I've never been this kind of a hero... or a Pac 12 caliber safety... but if it's me, I take the split second it takes to think "I should jump for that water... not for the concrete".Meek said:

Sark paid the Armenian-Irish mob to take a bat to the kids ankles so he could play the injuries and youth cards this year. That's what I'm hearing.

LIPO right?

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
This story just got AWESOME. Sark has got to be loving this FREE PUB!!!!11 -
Josh Shaw: I now love him.

If football doesn't pan out there's always screenwriting.

I heard the boy he rescued was Manti Te'o's son.
-
USC's season is already special.

What a cool day to be a trojan, man.

Did Sark get catfished?
