RB Reggie Bush, who tied a club-record with four touchdowns and had nine receptions for 131 yards and 37 rushes on 10 carries, on Sunday in the Saints' 34-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers, was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

4 more weeks to make the list even longer.

With all due respect, you left off two: Marques Colston Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week - Week 8, and Marques Colston Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week - Week 9.

And everyone at B & G needs to pull together for the Saints and Reggie, and go to NFL.com to add another Rookie of the Week honor to the list for Reggie for scoring 4 TD's. He is currently behind Vince Young, who had just 2 TD's, 42 votes to 35 votes.

Can you imagine the Saints having 4 out of the 13 honors?

Reggie's behind. Vote.
