Pete Carroll's USC Move Broken Down by Star WR

Published | Updated

T.J. Houshmandzadeh -- star wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks -- thinks his new head coach Pete Carroll made a smart move by leaving USC in January because it's smart to "get out while the house is burning."

As you may have heard, SC was just hit with a hardcore punishment for some bad stuff that went on with the football program during Carroll's reign.

Carroll has denied any wrongdoing and claimed that his move was "not in any way" related to NCAA sanctions -- but T.J.'s comment seems to imply that his new head coach knew SC was in some serious trouble ... and that's why he jumped ship.

Vince Young Fight over Longhorn Smack Talk

Published | Updated

The strip club brawl involving Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was all over two things -- the University of Texas and cash money, according to sources in the club.

Multiple sources who were inside Club Onyx tell TMZ the fight started when Vince went to take money out at the "cash cage." We're told Vince was complaining about a surcharge to withdraw money -- and that's when the manager got involved.

We're told the manager is from Oklahoma and flashed an upside down "hook 'em horns" hand signal and said "F**k the Longhorns" to Vince -- who, if you don't know, was a National Championship quarterback for the University of Texas Longhorns.

That's when Vince allegedly socked the manager in the face and had to be dragged out of the club, according to sources. Vince's reps haven't gotten back to us yet.

According to KDFW, Vince was issued a Class C assault citation today, which carries up to a $500 fine. The station aired this surveillance video of the incident.

Dennis Rodman: I'm Not As Rich as She Thinks

Published | Updated

Dennis Rodman wants the world to know he never fell behind on child support payments ... that is, the ones he could afford to pay.

Rodman's rep tells TMZ the former NBA star's estranged wife Michelle convinced a judge behind his back to jack up his child support ... and now he's in over his head.

Rodman claims he has been faithfully paying upwards of $10,000 a month since the beginning -- but the court hiked it to $50,000 a month and now he can't afford it.

According to the rep, the former NBA star doesn't earn anywhere near what his wife thinks -- nearly $4.5 million a month (not a mistake -- a month) -- so this whole $300,000 unpaid child support problem is BS.

USC Football 'Vacates' Nat'l Championship Win

Published | Updated

The NCAA just blew up USC football's world by forcing the Trojans to vacate their victory in the '05 Orange Bowl ... a win that earned them the National Championship.

This all comes after an NCAA investigation concluded Reggie Bush got improper benefits while at USC.

According to the NCAA findings Bush received a car, and his family received a house and other financial benefits.

In addition to the National Championship game, USC must also vacate its 12 victories from the '05 season -- Reggie's last before turning pro -- and the university is banned from bowl games for the next 2 seasons, and on probation for 4 years.

Fight on.

NOTE: The NCAA specifically uses the word "vacate" instead of forfeit because the Trojan's opponents in those games don't get the win.
