Heroic act by USC CB

njm : 8/26/2014 9:30 am
I'm not a USC fan but I salute this kid. I think the NCAA should come out now and say he gets a medical red shirt if he needs it.

The kid was going to be one of the team captains this year

You love stories like this. He just acted on instinct to help someone else out.
Saw

that story. Fantastic heroism. Two high ankle sprains probably keeps him out for the year. Agree about the reshirt. He's lucky he didn't break something.
Selfless act by Shaw

That could have been a very tragic situation. Glad the nephew is ok.

Hopefully Shaw can make a quick recovery.
Kudos to this brave young man

the best in his recovery and I salute his heroism
Josh Shaw  
Marty866b : 8/26/2014 10:49 am : link
Won't redshirt as he will be a fairly high draft pick. High ankle sprains are a bitch and who knows when he will be able to play again but he is a true hero. Fight On Josh!
Nice.

Need more positive stories about players and people in general.
just read this

great story. High Ankle Sprains are not fun but atleast it's nothing more serious than that, no breaks or tears. The kid is a hero.
I'll bet Josh Shaw

looks good in blue! Way to go!
Instead of a medical redshirt year...  
Chris in Philly : 8/26/2014 12:42 pm : link
I predict the NCAA fines the school and suspends him for attending an event with unsanctioned aquatic activities and appearing in news media without prior approvals from the NCAA.
wow

Any stories out there about what actually happened if his original story isn't true?
The draft interviews coming out of this...  
Dunedin81 : 8/26/2014 2:08 pm : link
could make Manti Te'o's look comfortable by comparison.
What I just heard  
Rich in L.A. : 8/26/2014 2:10 pm : link
was about as far away from a heroic act as you can get. But I'd like to confirm it with a few more folks. Very weird.
No way!

Holy shitballs?

"Josh Shaw first and foremost is a good person, he's a good kid," Sarkisian said at a news conference Tuesday. "He came to us with what had occurred Saturday night and I have no reason or history to not believe Josh and his story and what has occurred. Obviously in the last few hours or so, a few phone calls contradicting what Josh said occurred Saturday night, so we're going to vet it, so we're looking at it. Beyond that I know what I know: Josh is adamant about what occurred and we're going to continue to vet some of the stories that have come across our desk or our phones and see what we have and go from there."
damn pretty crazy  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 8/26/2014 2:29 pm : link
I wonder what the real story is.

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

There goes my hero, watch him as he goes!
What I know  
Marty866b : 8/26/2014 3:02 pm : link
Is that there are many rumors out there but it does appear that Josh's story was made up. Maybe he jumped off the balcony to save Manti Teo's girlfriend. He is injured in which USC cannot afford and who knows what his future is now?

The media won't blow it up like Manti, but blatantly making up a story like this makes one a scumbag (if true), Manti is a complete idiot, but the media for a while wanted to make it seem like he was the worst person on earth for getting catfished. Wonder how they will handle this one
this whole thread is a LOL fest

plaudits can't come quick enough, retractions only thing moving faster.

Even if the story he floated was true, it was boneheaded. Incapacitating yourself as a 'rescuer' doesn't do anything but create more victims - its why the Japanese use to tell snipers to shoot to wound.
