Veteran ESPN reporter Shelley Smith, who has been covering USC football training camp here in L.A., was apparently the first to break the news today that true freshman Matt Barkley will be the starting QB for the Trojans a week from Saturday against San Jose State. (With Ohio State in Columbus looming on Sept. 12.)
When I initially ran a search on the story, the above ESPN-sourced result was the very first to pop up - with Smith’s name attached. But when you clicked on THAT link to the story, mention of her had been removed. In fact, the account was from the ASSOCIATED PRESS.
(What the? ESPN-sourced piece replaced by AP Story on ESPN.com?)
Wot?

Last I saw ESPN reporter Shelley Smith in person, it was a few years ago at a cheeseball tourist bar called Saddleranch on Sunset Blvd. That night, she appeared to be flying solo, but in considerably better condition than this recent Youtube video of her. (At least it appears to be her.)
(Video via BUSTED COVERAGE - audio is NSFW)
The scene was shot a Detroit bar, where Smith is covering the Final Four. Read more…
