USC football’s student manager fired for intentionally deflating game balls

> [O]ne rogue student manager deflated some game balls below NCAA regulations. Officials found three under-inflated balls during the game and two more at halftime. The balls were regulation in the second half. The manager was relieved of his duties.

> …

> 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.

“One Rogue manager?” “With the knowledge of, or instruction, from, any USC … coach?” Really? We are supposed to believe that? Stay classy Lane Kiffin.

SI’s Tom Verducci Reports on Baseaball’s New Drug Problem

> Major League Baseball has a drug problem again and is engaged in discussions with the players’ association regarding what to do about it. The very specific problem is the use of fast-acting synthetic testosterone, the primary performance-enhancing drug of choice among emboldened players who believe they can avoid detection with dosages that are carefully timed and controlled.

Is this a new development? This is the first time I hearing of this.

Dan Wetzel Takes Spurrier to Task for his Classless Comments

I used to laugh at Spurrier’s act when he was at Florida. Recently, however, he has been, as Wetzel points out, classless. At least it looks like [Dabo Swinney is going to take the high road](http://www.orangeandwhite.com/news/2012/oct/30/second-thought-swinney-decides-give-spurrier-benef/?partner=RSS).
