HE'D HAVE enough on his mind if he were simply preparing for the Philadelphia Eagles' aggressive defense. But there's even more on Jermon Bushrod's plate this week.

The King George High School graduate will try to score as many tickets as he can from his New Orleans Saints teammates for the numerous friends and family members who'd like to make the trip to Philadelphia on Sunday.
