Nice work, StM and VA. I give you temporary visual REP because I, once again, cannot give you permanent REP because it is too soon and I have to spread it out. FF...I asked you to fix that...wuzup widat?

The next few sentences I'm about to type are going to sound kinda stupid, but...I don't care.

To HoL...

Some of us just don't care how much money they pay Reggie...we just like him. We liked watching him in college and we were happy when the Saints drafted him. For me...it was much more than just getting Reggie Bush. For me...it was the FO telling me, "OK...we're going to start spending money, taking chances, and drafting or signing FA's that we think will bring us a SB ring, because that's what we covet most. To hell with the money...we want the ring, and we're willing to take chances!"

Reggie Bush brings glitter to a team that badly needed something. We don't question how much they pay Loomis or Payton or any of the scouts. However, they all bring something to the team...even though it's hard to see it on the field.

Reggie does have his moments. 2 punt returns for TD's doesn't happen every day. Five yard flights into the endzone are rare for most people...but not Reggie. Leaving people searching for their jock is not something everybody can do. Outrunning CB's to the endzone is not easy.

There's more to the game than meets the eye...and the ultimate prize is the ring. When Reggie was on the board to be drafted, I told my sis-in-law that I would no longer be a Saint fan if they passed on him. I admit that he hasn't gained the yards on the ground that I hoped, but he has provided highlight after highlight, and we have won a SB with Reggie Bush on our roster...something that hadn't happened for 43 years! So...I'm happy with everyone on the roster and I could give a rat's butt how much they make...or how much they make next year, for that matter. I'm just happy for now.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!
