His contributions far out weight the INT's.

If you have a Bush jersey at the end of the season I'll offer you 2 bucks for it so I can use it to wash my car with or if it keeps going my butt with, lol.

Hey I want to love the guy and I will cheer my butt off for the guy if he earns it. Fact is he is earning what he is getting from us and he is playing like crap and deserves crap.

Since I work with statistics as a daily part of my job, I can tell you one thing about them with complete confidence. There are only statistics for what you measure. Makes sense, right?

When someone starts measuring the impact Bush has on a defense, just because he's on the field and regardless if he gets the ball, I'll think it might be possible to lean on stats as my only means of evaluating his contribution.

reggie fumbles but doesnt lead the league in rushing and isnt supposed to be the best running back of all time by the end of his career.....some of these things are done and said about adrian peterson

It is not an equal comparison. It is also a typical example of the absolute garbage that comes out of the sensationalized news coverage of modern athletic events. Peterson to be one of the greatest of all time, eh? He's Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, eh? I'm not aiming this at Canton, because he's just quoting a sports media culture that lacks any semblance of credibility.

One thing is a fact. Peterson has a bad fumbling problem and the national media IS pointing it out.
