Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

"The direction the NFL is headed toward you don't see those types of backs anymore," Bush said during a break from the Saints' three-day minicamp this past weekend. "You see guys who are splitting time. You see guys who are able to play running back and multiple positions. The days of the one-running-back system are over. Teams can find guys who can play running back and be split out wide and play the receiver position and do punt return and kick return. It gives them more versatility. That's where the NFL is headed."

Wow! Pete Prisco is eating crow?

Pete actually admits he was wrong about Reggie last year.

METARIE, La. — We were all wrong about New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush — including me.

Last summer, I dubbed Bush the NFL’s most-overrated player, pointing to his paltry rushing numbers in his first two seasons as why he hasn’t lived up to being the second player taken in the 2006 draft.

The reality is his rushing numbers might never be that great. But that’s OK. The reason is simple:

He is the perfect evolutionary running back for the current NFL.

This doesn’t happen every day with members of the MSM.

Go Saints!!!! Deuce may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

I wondered...

… how the wonderboy would hold up in the NFL. I wondered if he would be able to adjust to not being the sh**, like he was in college. I must say, Reggie’s bravado borders on arrogance, and I think I like it. His confidence borders on delusion… and I love it. He is here, of course, pleading his case, basically saying, “I AM the future of running backs. I AM the APY guy. I am the sh**, you just haven’t realized it yet.”

I think this may be the year that the world realizes what Reg already knows and I have known since his first season. I hear people (fans of our opponents) calling Reg a bust. I correct them quickly, “Did you see his APYs?” They forget the fantastic kickoff returns, punt returns, option plays, and all the times we heard “Brees DUMPS it off to Reggie…. he’s gone!…. Touchdown!!”

I’ll take a dumpster like that over a TO trouble playmaker any day.

There is nobody so irritating as someone who is less intelligent than us and yet is wiser.
