USC Morning Buzz: Welcome To The World Of KettlebellGate

KETTLE

P. Diddy aka Sean Combs was released from jail last night but this story looks too captivating to go away soon. For one thing, it should do wonders for immediate kettlebell sales. How long until someone is able to get ahold of the security footage that supposedly captured the incident? And don’t forget Diddy recently got into an altercation with Drake (who could forget?). How long will Diddy be able to go without making a statement?

There’s likely to be some examination over whether stars get too much access to coaches/facilities when they have a son on a team.

For the record, I think I only saw Master P once at USC when Romeo Miller was on the basketball team. By contrast, O.J. Mayo’s handler, Rodney Guillory, did whatever he wanted around the Galen Center and basketball offices. And if you think UCLA’s identification with kettlebells is ridiculous, don’t forget about USC’s association with barbershops.

  1. I would venture to say that half the males out there under 30 are willing to get into a physical altercation if angry enough. And even the over-30 crowd is probably at 25% or so.

    Hence, be ready to put up your dukes in self-defense in L.A.

  2. Amazing how Wolf is always feeding the trolls. This story has nothing to do with USC, but Wolf brings in unrelated items so the trolls can feel happy and distracted.

  3. I sense your logic Scott is that schools with historically poor performing programs resort to these kind of tactics (USC mens basketball and ucla football) right?

    Ray Reyes has it right – what has any of what you recall have to do with this?

  4. ucla’s got a passion bucket full of kettlebells to deal with now. This should be a laughable battle to watch unfold as poor old ucla tries to defend their criminal assaulter and resident tripper Alosi, who’s been blackballed by the NFL and now kettlebelled by Diddy. The best is yet to come!

    • Alosi be tripping…….has Guerrero spoken publicly about this incident yet?

      • WHY would Dan find it appropriate to make a comment….wtf do you thinK he is…GARRETT?
        An employee…in good standing has been attacked. There’s FILM to prove it. UCLA is the victim. Its not like your HERO balcony jumper,…it’s not like deflate gate…it’s not like your troubled tight ends, and it’s not like your running back accusing your head coach of RACISM. What part of this don’t you BRAIN SURGEONS UNDERSTAND? FLUFFY was fortunate SAL acted like the professional he is. SAL could have RIPPED FLUFFY’S HEAD OFF. Don’t mess with a strength and conditioning coach.
        feiwhite ung!

        • I know you love reading your rants but best log off and try again – you offer nothing

          • You are sooooo naive ( MORE LIKE INTOXICATED)…..Chucker and me get a percentage of the take for all the posts we generate from you yo yo’s..
            fit ung BOYO

        • You’re right… Dan is a complete coward and he rarely speaks publicly, especially when one of his own employees is being attacked…he prefers to stay out of anything even remotely controversial……just leave it totally up to Mora to speak on behalf of a public school….. what was I thinking?…..

          • sooo….I guess you support haden and the job he’s done…or perhaps you want dumb dumb garrett to return….guererro is light years better than anything you boneheads have served up in years….guererro might chime in when its appropriate.
            Can’t wait for the film to be leaked so you boneheads can claim its been doctored. If there had been film of you balcony jumper….you wouldn’t have had to eat s4it…
            fit ung…

          • When was the last time Goo-Weirdo “chimed in” about ANYTHING?…… he’s a bore, and he and UCLA deserve each other……the video will likely only confirm what’s being reported by TMZ, unless Puff the Magic Daddy decides to pay off someone to put a lid on it…..why the heck would anyone claim it was doctored?.. are you really that much of a paranoid conspiracy theorist?

        • Mr Mex:
          You need to lay off the spicy food it has you way to tense. Are you sleeping OK?

          JW

          • He never sleeps. He stays up all night thinking about USC.
            Last night was particularly rough.

        • Thai,

          This story will eventually fade away but your continual attempts to divert the attention aren’t helping. Everyone is laughing at Westwood right now.
          You could just relax a bit and have a laugh but if you want to keep flailing away at your keyboard cranking out one nonsensical rant after another, don’t let me get in your way.

          • Maybe JG, but no ESPN sports blabbers are calling UCLA Klown U. That moniker is reserved solely for so cal.

    • Absolutely JB, so cal FB goes 7 – 5 and loses a fourth straight city game. “The best is yet to come.”

    • He stirred it up last night and got 150+ comments.
      He’s going back to the well.

      • At least this story takes the focus off of their new Five Star RB Soso, who recently enrolled at UCLA….Jamabo was never indicted, so it appears that this issue was successfully swept under the judicial rug in Texas….. good for UCLA…

        • That’s how we DO IT boyeeeeeee!!!! Dandy Dan knows how to WORK the crowd!!!

          When all is said and done the NCAA will end up taking 10 more schollies from Southern Cal!!!

          #ItsLikeThat

  5. You decide to bring up your barbershop blog post that was made over 6 years ago?….More self promotion by Scott Wolf…..

  6. How is a basketball altercation over a friend (barber) equivalent to assault with a deadly weapon and terrorist threats against a football coach? SW has the brain size of an ant.

  7. Slow time of year for sports reporters – nothing but MLB, golf and womens soccer. TMZ has entered the world of ESPN and FSN as the Ivy League MBA business grads have – there is huge revenue to be made in sports and for TMZ specifically what they, (TMZ) do best, reporting on scandals.

    This isn’t going away any time soon and ucla knows it

    • No it isn’t. Something tells me a check will be written, and the charges will be dropped. But the psychological ramifications aren’t going away any time soon.

  8. Mr Wolf:
    This is all very confusing. Can somebody please explain why we would have a coach on staff that was banned from the NFL for tripping a player? What is a P.Diddy? Kettlebell is used for? Also I heard somebody refer to Snoop Dog. Mr Mora cupping peoples faces? Nellie who took my university and turned it into a circus?

      • Mr Own/Dadieaux:
        I learn something from you everyday. Thank you for showing us all what we can be expected from person/people of your stature. Your a perfect example of UCLA fan and it brings a tear to my eye and an ache in my belly every time I read your post.

        • Hey, take it easy Tiger!! The Johnny Wooden I knew chuckled when TJ Simers ribbed him, but you are all thin skinned and grouchy like my Trojans….wait a minute…

          Freddy, my glasses!

          FREDDY!!!

    • Woody you’re the exception to a favorite John Wooden quote: “I’ve never met a person from whom I did not learn something.”

      • I believe you mean “I’ve never seen a shady car dealer from whom my players didn’t receive illegal benefits while I looked the other way”.

    • These are all valid observations Mr. Wooden. There have been MANY changes since you left the University of Westwood City. It’s just not the same without you.

      • Mr 22
        I had a good friend that lost control of his bowels and couldn’t remember what day it was and then he went on medication. It helped. You should seek out a doctor because every time you come on this blog you mess the bed.

        • Don’t be so down, Golly_Nerd. We know your 0-131 streak in Best Wookie Costume contests has you feeling blue. But I have good news for you…your fave Star Wars character Lando Calrissian will be at the Florida Supercon this weekend!,

  9. I don’t blame Master P – if he’s like the rest of us he was unsure whether SC even had a basketball team.

  10. This should make kids think twice about going to UCLA. It appears the coaches aren’t truthful with the players. A lot of turmoil within the staff and now the parents are punching ’em out.

  11. wolfman, you are WISE!! While our Buddies can’t seem to appreciate the excellence or your reportage, you of course are thinking 15-20 moves AHEAD of the other trOXans!!!

    wolfman you RECONIZE this is LA….there is no such thing as BAD publicity and GOOD publicity. Only PUBLICITY!!! This is taking UCLA’s street cred to a whole ‘nother LEVEL!!! I can’t wait for the TRIAL!!! This is life in the 21st Century, wolfman, one LONG reality show!!! but hey, Southern Cal is still wearing those unis that look like Huggy Bear’s pajamas from the 70’s!!!

    #Gaudy+Tacky=trOXan

    • Wait until Snoop Dogg shows up, those Ruin coaches will be running for their lives!!!

  12. It’s a good thing for usc, that something like this didn’t happen there. If something like this were to happen at usc, Scott Wolf would be spewing stuff out of his rear, and it would be national headlines.

    I’ll never forget after that infamous sun bowl loss to Georgia Tech, Scott Wolf went full on inquirer, and totally exaggerated that brawl after the game. I remember it became national news, because wolf wrote a story about it. For the first time in my life I defended Lane kiffin, and went on the ESPN boards and said that the writer had a serious hatred for Kiffin and was out to get him. Well I got torn up by people, on that board. Some people even thought I was lane kiffin. I told them I wasn’t lane kiffin, but the author of the story is always out to get usc.

    • I will say this for Wolf – he’s fair in his slander (tirades also against Enfield) … someday it shall all come crashing down on him as he sits in some ‘convalescent home’ – alone and forgotten.

  13. All of a sudden so cal blogsters can’t get enough about UCLA. Very funny. Suddenly the So cal O/U 8.5 games is no longer a problem.

    • The Clippers will always be the Clippers…just like the Bruins will always be the little Bruins that couldn’t. Nothing is all of a sudden.

      • Respectively disagree. Thug Diddy and UCLA have gone viral on Wolf’s Blog. As usual so cal takes a backseat to UCLA. Has Sark unloaded his palace yet?

        • Remember last month when Junior was on TMZ bragging about how great Diddy and Snoop are for UCLA and how he’s “got the rap game covered”? Oh me, oh my…quite classic. UCLA…They own LA. UCLA…They own the rap game. Delusional isn’t a strong enough word for that program and the fan base. How about “we own the Rose Bowl”? It’s on the same level of delusion as “we own this town” and “we got the rap game covered”.

        • If USC takes a backseat to UGLY, “as usual,” why are you here on a USC site? How come you are texting over on a bRUIN site?

  14. Coming down the road Diddy free 4 year rides.. Music scholarships created to make the kettle bell sound go away.. Deals will be struck, and next year a few new students will being enjoying Westwood as guests of the Diddy Bell Fund

  15. I’m embarrassed by the big deal my Trojans are making of a little scrap. You sound like a bunch of Marys!

    When I coached one time Freddy’s dad hit Babe Ruth in the head with a bat! We made them shake hands and that was it. Freddy, you remember that?

    FREDDY???

  16. Coming down the road Diddy free 4 year rides.. Music scholarships created to make the kettle bell sound go away.. Deals will be struck, and next year a few new students will being enjoying Westwood as guests of the Diddy

  17. Coming down the road Diddy free 4 year rides.. Music scholarships created to make the kettle bell sound go away.. Deals will be struck, and next year a few new students will being enjoying Westwood as guests of the Diddy …..

  18. Yawn……. a marketing feat for a rapper’s next video/CD. His CD company is licking its chops probably designing a kettlebell on the front cover of the CD case as we post here. And yes I am responding to it (which is what Diddy wants us all to do) and maybe the sideline tripper gets a percentage of the deal. Wonder if Scott thought of that as he brings the incident up daily for the next week or so?

  19. To be clear P. Diddy slapped the taste outta Drake’s mouth. I’m sure Mora will be on his best behavior around the young Justin Combs.
