Miss Tennessee Rachel Smith was named Miss USA Friday night (that's her during the swimsuit portion of the competition), and she has Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young, in part, to thank.

Young was one of the judges, and I have to ask: Isn't there an inherent conflict of interest here? Is it really fair for Young to be a judge when he so clearly wants to curry favor with the Tennessee fans that he'll vote for Miss Tennessee?

Lakers owner Jerry Buss was also one of the judges. Tara Conner, Miss USA 2006, crowned Smith. Let's all wish Smith luck on having a less tumultuous reign than Conner had.
