The Bush Number Issue

I have a couple of comments/questions on the number 5 RB thing.

- James tried to petition the league to be number five a few years back and got denied. Why would this change for Bush?

- I love Reggie, but this is a little annoying. Sounds like an agent talking. It's a number, play by the rules, regardless of how stupid they are.

- Could we not call the dude a WR if he really wants to be number 5?

- A couple of places where this makes no sense. Warrick Dunn lines up as QB, Vick lines up at receiver...direct snap to Dunn. Technically, he is the QB on the play and he doesn't have a QB number. Conwell used to line up at fullback for the Rams as number 85. You can declare as an eligible receiver with a lineman/linebacker number.

- Has Bush offered Amac money for his number. It seems a bit presumtious that he can just come in and have his number. Whether he's the third stringer or not, he has seniority and it is his number.

- I think the rule is stupid, but I don't see what the big deal is. People change numbers all the time. This will certainly be the highest selling Saints jersey ever. I'm buying one, regardless of what his number is.
