:insert favorite Trojans joke here:
Just overheard on the Dan Patrick radio show: Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinhert and a 20-year old USC female athlete are expecting a child this fall. The female athlete is taking a “leave of absence” from the team for “personal reasons”. Really? You think? Paris Hilton must be all broken up.

“Well then I guess there’s only one thing left to do…”

They’re starting to call him K-Rod
A-Rod’s now at 12 strikeouts in his last 16 ABs. And the NY tabs are starting to smell blood. (Update: 14 Ks in last 20 ABs. The killer thing is that A-Rod is a like-able sort.)
