I Guess They'll Pick Just About Anybody

Reggie Bush. Running back extraordinaire. Helped USC win three national titles. Outruns just about anyone who isn't wearing a USC Trojans jersey. In other words, a guy who'd you want on your team.

Even as he's under investigation for living rent-free in the San Diego area, and that if he's found guilty, USC forfeits every damn season's victory, the trips to the National title games...and, oh, Reginald has to give that Heisman trophy back.

Like I said, a guy you'd want playing on your team.

Especially if you're the New Orleans Saints.

Bush, who many expected to be the number one pick for the lackluster Houston Texans, instead was the number two- overall- pick by the New Orleans Saints. While that may be a boon for the Saints, I can't help but wonder if the decision will come back and bite them in the ass. After all, the Texans picked North Carolina State's Mario Williams, and someone told me today that morals had something to do with the decision to pick Williams over Bush.

Still, Bush could do wonders for the mediocre Aints...er, Saints. With the right head coach (remem ber, Jim Haslett was shown the door by owner Tom Benson last winter), and the right mentor (Aaron Brooks? I don't know...), the Saints could reach the Super Bowl in, um...three decades or so?

Williams on the other hand will shut the naysayers in Houston up in September.

We'll know by then who made the right choice.
