Tonight's episode of HBO's "Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel," will investigate the Reggie Bush controversy. This segment will include an interview with Lloyd Lake, the man who claims to have given Bush $291,600 in cash, living arrangements and other benefits while he was playing at USC. If these allegations are true, Bush may be stripped of his Heisman Trophy which he won in 2005 as a Junior and the Trojans' may be forced to give......

Lakers 132, Kings 128, OT - Even though Sacramento came into the game a .500 team, this Norcal/Socal rivalry produced another exciting game. The Lakers held a commanding 21 point lead, but fell apart and needed last second shot by Smush Parker to send it into overtime. Despite going scoreless for the first 16 minutes, Kobe had 42 points, 5 of which came on free throws towards the end of the extra period. Both teams......

The NFL Draft produced the usual drama and surprises. Starting with the fall of Reggie Bush to number two after the announcement by the Houston Texans that they signed North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams to a 6 year $54 million deal...jeez. Then came the fall of Matt Leinart... man what can you say. His plan to make history kind of backfired. First he didnt repeat as Heisman Trophy winner (not that bad).......

After their bid at history fell short against the Longhorns of Texas, life at USC has moved on. Part of that process would inevitably involve change of players. Although the loss to graduation of key seniors Matt Leinart, Taitusi "Deuce" Lutui, and Tom Malone were unavoidable, as was the loss of Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush to the NFL inevitable. The loss of other key juniors puts the Trojan squad in a new situation.......

Two great teams put on one great show at the Rose Bowl. USC and Texas went toe-to-toe in a fitting end to a great BCS Bowl Series. Although the Trojan's bid for a historic third championship in a row fell short 41-38, they can look back with pride at all they accomplished: 34 straight victories, 16 consecutive wins against top 25 teams (a NCAA record), 3 Heisman Trophy winners, and 2 straight National Championships.......

The greatest weekend of college football in recent memory was built around a single epicenter – another legendary addition to the USC-Notre Dame rivalry. USC’s victory over Notre Dame was lots of things. It was Reggie Bush’s rise to Heisman front-runner (sorry Vince, tearing up Colorado isn’t exactly on the same level), it was both teams rising up to the biggest challenge they’ll have all year and it was the first time a game......

USC did what it had to do in its quest for a third straight national championship. The Trojans 63-17 victory over Hawaii met expectations, as Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, and co. showed few signs of rust. While Leinart is the Trojan making the most headlines after his highly-publicized decision to stay in school, LAist thinks Bush is the key the Trojans offense. We like his chances to win the Heisman Trophy this year. His......

It’s been an eventful couple of weeks for USC quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart. First he shocks the sports world by announcing that he will return for his senior year as the undisputed leader of the 2-time defending national champion Trojan football team. Today’s edition of the Los Angeles Times brings the announcement of a long-rumored elbow surgery. Performed yesterday by USC team doctor James Tibone, “"The surgery went fine, and there......

Like Paris Hilton at a new club opening, today’s dastardly deadline came and went with nary a decision from USC’s Mighty Matt Leinart. Will he succumb to the NFL’s promise of riches, fame and glory? Or can USC pay him enough under the table to stay in college one more year? We kid, we kid. At any rate, it appears that Trojan football fans everywhere are going to have one more long, earnest night......

Tomorrow is an epic day for all of you fans of Troy. No, LAist speaks not of the cumbersome, homo-erotic, overlong and overhyped Brad Pitt fiasco from this past summer, but rather of a certain press conference occurring within the holy walls of the University of Southern California. There, one Matt Leinart, better known as the quarterbacking heartthrob of your national champion football Trojans, will answer the question that has been on the tip......

After his 400 yard performance in USC's 41-10 thrashing of Notre Dame, some pundits are now calling Matt Leinart the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy. Sure. Why not? There is nothing more overrated in sports than the Heisman Trophy--an award whose definition seems to change annually. Matt Leinart is not the best quarterback in the country. Not even close. Instead he is a very good QB, who makes few mistakes, but is complimented by......
