Reggie Bush’s Side Piece Shows Off His Crib

Long has been the rumor that Latina model Carmen Ortega is the woman claiming to have had a threesome with Reggie Bush that caused his temporary breakup with Kim Kardashian a while back.

Ortega hasn’t taken to kind to the fact the she’s the forgotten one and decided to go MTV Cribs on Bush’s home, guerrilla style. Showing everyone that she still has a key and access codes to his place.


Reggie Bush Fails To Come Through With Scholarships

Over Hyped Flop

He’s a Super Bowl champion now and that can never be taken away from him but what about the dreams of former Helix High School students Brandon Fountain and Matt Cobb?

In March 2007 they were presented a $10,000 scholarship from Bush, who graduated from Helix High School in 2003 before attending the University of Southern California. After college, he was drafted number 2 overall by the Saints in 2006 and signed a $26 million guaranteed contract. But after both students received an initial $2,500 installment on their scholarships in their freshman year they ran into problems the following year when trying to collect the next installment. The two families tried everything to collect the next installment and when they tried to contact the scholarship’s trustee, Jerry Michaels, they came up unsuccessful as well.

“Mr. Michaels never responded. A couple of weeks later, he (Brandon) sent more e-mails and still received  no response,” said Fountain’s father, Bruce.

Finally they got a response but with disheartening news saying “the scholarship was he was out of funds and due to the economy he didn’t have the money,” said Cobb.

Michaels was then contacted by the local news who found out the the scholarship program setup by Bush but never contributed to the funds and never followed through.

While Bush spends money on an armored limousine to protect his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s its the dreams of Fountain and Cobb that are dashed watching the Super Bowl. As they remember back to 2007  when Bush stood with them at Helix High and was credited for “giving back” to his former school, they are left with an empty promise and a scholarship with Bush’s name and without his assistance.

I wonder if this was where the TV show “The Office” got its inspiration to do the episode entitled Scott’s Tots (viewed here) this season?


USC’s Lane Kiffin Already Incurs Recruiting Infraction

That Didn't Take Long

University of Southern California head coach Lane Kiffin has already committed his first recruiting violations not even two weeks after taking the job.

With the February 3rd national signing day quickly approaching, head football coaches are doing everything they can to get that last 5 star recruit choose their school. Kiffin is no different but he’s already acting as if the rules do not apply to him. Kiffin committed his first recruiting violation, be it a minor one, when he picked up a recruit in a limo to show him the USC way.

The Trojans are now stranger to going after recruits with the Hollywood lifestyle and showing them they can use the USC program as a stepping stone for that NFL contract, or at least that’s how it was run under now Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Just ask Reggie Bush or Joe McKnight when starting off your inquiry.

During his tenure at Tennessee, the Volunteers reported six NCAA violations and is currently being investigated for at least two more violations.


University Of Southern California Hires Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin

Traitor

University of Southern California has hired University of Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin to take over Pete Carroll, who left for the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL, after just one season roaming the sidelines for the Volunteers. The hiring was announced by USC hours after Carroll was introduced in Seattle.

Kiffin who is in his third head coaching job in three seasons, 34, is a disciple of Carroll, serving on his staff from 2001 to 2006. In Kiffin’s last two seasons at USC, he was offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator.

Kiffin left USC in 2007 to coach the Oakland Raiders, becoming the youngest coach in the NFL’s modern era. He was fired after four games of his second season. He then was hired by Tennessee, going 7-6 and playing in a bowl game in his one season.

The move comes as a surprise because Kiffin had been with Tennessee for only this season and because UT has had at least six secondary violations of NCAA rules in Kiffin’s tenure, which spanned just 14 months. He comes to a Trojans program under NCAA investigation since 2006, when allegations were reported that 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and his family received improper benefits from a would-be marketing representative.

Kiffin’s one season at Tennessee will be remembered for a series of verbal gaffes when he accused Florida coach Urban Meyer of cheating for contacting a recruit when the player was visiting Tennessee and the minor NCAA rules violations and now, for his quick departure for Southern California.

His quick exit for a return to Los Angeles, just three weeks before national signing day, was not taken well by Vols fans. Students burned mattresses and piles of trash and gathered around the athletic department building and  “The Rock” had obscenities directed toward Kiffin.

Kiffin will bring with him his father, longtime NFL defensive coach Monte Kiffin, and veteran assistant Ed Orgeron, a former USC defensive line coach. Both were on the Tennessee staff last season.

Kiffin owes an $800,000 buyout to Tennessee for leaving early and Will Muschamp would look perfect on the sidelines of Tennessee.


O.J. Mayo Says He “May Have Some USC Money Left Over”

Where The Cash At

From the Orange County Register comes a story of Memphis Grizzlies O.J. Mayo doing an interview with Kenny Mayne for ESPN the Magazine and in it he says “may have some USC money left over.”

Mayo, formerly of USC and currently of the Grizzlies, was the subject of Kenny Mayne’s Outtakes. At the end of the Q&A, Mayne invited Mayo to the Breeders Cup.

Mayne: “… I want you to bring all the cash. Bring the NBA money.”
Mayo: “I’m just a rookie, man. I mean, I’m just a second-year player.”
Mayne: “Aren’t there mandatory minimums? You guys all make $40 million by this point.”
Mayo: “Well, I may have some USC money left over.”

It’s well documented that he received thousands from Rodney Guillory who was allegedly serving as a runner for an agency and reports that coach Tim Floyd even hand delivered cash to Guillory.

But the quote comes at an interesting time for USC because of the news that came out that they were self-imposing punishments on their basketball program for NCAA violations that occurred while Mayo was in school. A move to pretty much to saves the football team in the Reggie Bush investigation.

The university spares the football team by self imposing sanctions on the basketball team which include a loss of one scholarship, no postseason play for a team that’s going nowhere, paying money back to the Pac-10 that the football team will gladly take care of and smoke screen of trying to right the wrong that still is continuing on the other side of the campus. Just ask Joe McKnight.
