Jesus Christ, because the media thinks Reggie Bush will have a huge impact everyone wants to put him under a microscope? WTF? He asked if he could wear #5, so what?! The last time a rookie asked to wear a number that didn't agree with the NFL number system, the rules got changed and Keyshawn got to wear #19.

In addition, Vince Young could potentially make more than Mario Williams. So, it seems pretty logical that Reggie Bush get #1 pick money if it's not even as much as #3 pick money. Vince Young's deal includes incentives, as should Reggie's, but if he could make more than Mario Williams, why shouldn't Reggie be able to?

I mean, really. I don't know what everyone has against Reggie Bush. God forbid someone make a request of the league when they get drafted. God forbid a player's contract negotiations not go well with what is very possibly the worst organization in football. How about we talk about the positive shit he's done? He's jumped into the Katrina relief effort. He took a 1 page ad in the Times-Picayune after he went to dinner one night in New Orleans and got cheered. So, contract negotiations aren't going well, blame the player?

Tomlinson barley got signed before the first game of the season. Where was the infinite outrage from all of you then? How come the most owner favoring league in sports still has the players blamed for every single thing that happens with a contract?
