Reggie Bush Remains Key to Saints' Dreams

Filed under: Eagles, Redskins, Saints, Vikings

NEW ORLEANS -- Sometimes an NFL player gets a suffocating feeling that the games he plays on the field and in the celebrity spotlight can be exhilarating and deflating in one breath. This has been the Reggie Bush experience.

He started his fifth NFL season by returning his 2005 Heisman Trophy, embarrassed by illegal gift-receiving scandals during his USC time. Two games into this season he fractured his right fibula returning a punt in a Monday night clash against the 49ers. In recent days his continued Kim Kardashian episodes have been the buzz of reality TV and gossip.

But Bush, 25, realizes in this league that just when you get hot, something else sizzles. You got a headache? Somebody else has a migraine.

Randy Moss is currently unemployed and the Vikings look dim-witted for having wasted a precious third-round draft pick on a worthless month-long experiment -- Moss didn't fool them once, he fooled them twice. Donovan McNabb has quickly moved his relationship with the Washington coaches closer to the edgy one he just left in Philadelphia. TO and Ochocinco are 2-5 and the Bengals offense is broken.

Buffalo is winless (0-7) and even took overtime last week at Kansas City to extend their torture. Denver has lost four in a row and at 2-6 looks beyond fractured. Dallas (1-6) is contemplating what to do now, what to do tomorrow and what this franchise should look like by its 2011 training camp -- if there is, indeed, football and no lockout.
