Yikes, here Reggie looks like what he might have been had he not become a Trojan — a Domer. Thank God that didn’t happen, and that this is just his new Saints uniform. So how many TDs will Reggie get for your fantasy team this year?

I think that SC is going to win the national championship. To be honest, I don’t think there is going to be much of a drop-off at quarterback. Booty is going to be the guy. And Sanchez is going to be a great player — in the future. Defensively they’re loaded. It’s probably going to…

News has surfaced that Mike Williams was fined over $400,000 last year by the Detroit Lions for being late to meetings and overweight. Because last year’s fines were imposed after taxes, Williams had to “earn” more than $600,000 to pay the fines. Williams made $230,000 in salary last year and is scheduled to make $350,000…

Since TrojanWire is paid for in part by online NCAA Football betting, we feel this rant is topical.

Even said something like, “Don’t even let me see you until camp starts.” Word is that Stafon’s attitude needs adjustment and that he should stop showing up to practice wearing t-shirts with pictures of…

Brady Quinn and Adrian Peterson are everyones early favorites, but in a top 100, pretty much everyone gets some attention here. 11. QB John David Booty, USC – If Ashton Youboty was the Trojan quarterback, he might warrant an honorable mention somewhere on the list. Such is life these days at USC, where the supporting…

Winston Justice gets $3.71 million for four years ($2.1 million guaranteed). Justice had a great Pro Day, notably a 39-inch vertical (for a 320 pound tackle), but fell in the draft because of concerns of character issues. Winston will likely move from Matt Leinart’s right tackle to Donovan McNabb’s left tackle so that his all-important…

Reggie Bush is sorry. Sorry that he is soooo good.

Long Beach Poly recruit Travon Patterson is making an early impression: “Some guys are fast but not necessarily football fast,” USC coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s just as fast on the field and his speed really adds something to our team.” With Steve Smith returning as a starter, Patterson will probably not see any time…

It’s extremely difficult for a receiver that doesn’t also return kicks or punts to win the Heisman. There are no wide receivers in the nation who make more of an impact on a game than Dwayne Jarrett. But if Jarrett can continue to put up the numbers we’ve become accustomed to, and have another memorable…
