REGGIE STIRRING UP RESENTMENT

With all the talk lately of Reggie Bush's off-field interests and exploits, at least one of his teammates has been motivated to offer up some private criticism.

In the wake of the news that Bush has parted ways with marketing agent Mike Ornstein, the teammate said, "Reggie needs to stop worrying about f--king Hollywood and focus on rushing for more than 100 yards in a game."

Ouch.

It's harsh, but it's not surprising. The whole "Saint Reggie" image and the millions in non-football money is certain to prompt some of the other 52 guys in the locker room not to like him -- especially when his production is languishing behind other running backs drafted in 2006, and some of the ones drafted in 2007.

Considering the source, I'm not real sure this is true. I can't think of any player on the Saints roster that would say anything like this. Besides,I really don't think Payton would allow something like this.

As far as the 100 yards per game rushing, he might get that if he wasn;t so involved in the passing game. It's hard to take a handoff when you're split out. Or am I wrong?
