Give it back?
Yahoo has finished an 8 month investigation to definitively tell you, the sports fan, that Reggie Bush received financial benefits worth more than $100,000 while playing at USC. While the $100k figure might be a little staggering, does any football fan still believe that top flight prospects at the collegiate level don’t [...]

Golden cleats
Reggie Bush was fined for wearing Adidas cleats in his first preseason game by the NFL because they have a marketing deal with Nike and Reebok. Well Adidas is covering the fine for Bush and we suspect they would do it every week if need be because of the free publicity the NFL [...]

Charley Casserly, the guy who drafted Mario Williams instead of Reggie Bush with the #1 pick, resigned today as the GM of the Houston Texans. Casserly was widely ridiculed for picking Williams but Texans owner Bob McNair insists that Casserly was not fired and that he was pursuing a job in the NFL [...]

They don’t even know what number he’ll be yet but they don’t care. Saints fans have already ordered 15,000 Reggie Bush Saints jerseys. At 75 bucks a pop, that’s more money than the value of the house his parents live in for free. You think anyone cares about the housing scandal? [...]

We’re not sure this requires another post but we are scratching our heads over this pick. The Texans arguably already have their franchise QB and RB in David Carr and Domanick Davis. It’s a stretch but we can see the argument. But why not trade the #1 pick? They could’ve at least [...]

Confirmed: Texans sign Mario Williams
Fox Sports is reporting that the Texans have told Mario Williams’ people that they are taking him #1 overall and the two sides are hammering out a pre-draft deal.
This would be the biggest shock in the Draft since the Colts took Edgerrin James over Ricky Williams. Of course, that actually [...]

(What? It’s Friday. We can’t make a bad joke in the headline?)
It seems that Reggie’s parents were supposed to pay $4,500 a month in rent but never paid because they didn’t have the money. Of course, no one seemed to worry about it because they knew that the $54,000 in back rent was chump [...]

We surveyed about every single mock draft out there and it’s a virtual lock that Reggie Bush will be taken #1 overall. However, we did find 3 sites that have the Texans taking someone else with the #1 pick. We’re scratching out heads wondering if they are genius or fools.

Sure there’s a new report today about transcipts that tie Reggie Bush to the shady wannabe sports agency called New Era Sports & Entertainment but like he said, “it’s no big deal.” Especially when he knows it will absolutely have no effect on his draft status or his ability to sign big money endorsement [...]

Our house… in the middle of the heat… our house
We are shocked, shocked! to discover that top college football athletes are given things for free by marketers and agents.
According to state of California records, the house is owned by Michael Michaels, who has ties to a sports marketing company. (When did “sports marketing company” have [...]
