Saints GM Mickey Loomis revealed Tuesday that Reggie Bush recently had microfracture surgery on his left knee.
The Saints initially called the surgery a simple scope, but it was much more serious and deals a blow to Bush's long-term outlook. While Loomis claims Bush will be ready by June minicamps, that's far from certain. Athletes that need microfracture typically are nearing a bone-on-bone condition due to a lack of cartilage in a joint. The procedure doesn't always fix the problem. This is the third operation on Bush's left knee in the last two years, which is a very negative sign for a player that relies so much on cutting ability and speed.

That's it, sports fans. End of an era. Just like week 3 in 2007 for Deuce, that's when the bell rang for him. No? Check the stats, they don't have an opinion, strictly the facts:

Oh sure, Reggie will come back and play. And try to cut and won't and we'll scream at him and demand that he be benched and traded. But it's over, for all practical purposes. The Saints need to get a back to cover for PT and it ain't Stecker or Deuce.
