We were so close to hitting yesterday’s Divisional Playoff game.  If Reggie Bush doesn’t put the ball on the ground on the New Orleans Saints last drive then we are celebrating with a bottle of Cristal.  Today we get back on track so we can have some surf and turf tonight rather than hamburger mac and cheese.

It was only a week ago that people were speculating Reggie Bush might sit out the entire NFL season and re-enter the NFL draft next year. My how things can change in one week when two parties sit down and really negotiate. Reggie Bush has come to terms with the New Orleans Saints and should be in practice with them starting today. The deal can earn Bush up to $62 million with a little more than $26 million of the deal guaranteed. I’m sure New Orleans is thrilled to have this behind them and to now focus on preparing Reggie Bush for the upcoming NFL season.

The final word came down from the NFL that Reggie Bush will not be allowed to wear No. 5 his college number this season. The NFL restricts running backs to wear numbers between 20-49 and no exception will be made for Reggie who was drafted second in the NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. Bush even offered to donate 25% of the jersey sales to Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts, but that didn’t make any headway with the NFL officials. After two separate conference calls the NFL stood firm and went on to clarify they do not see this rule changing anytime in the near future. I can provide you my opinion on this decision in three words - All out ridiculous!
