Reggie Bush on The Herd (1 Viewer)

[cant]

Pretty cool video on Reggie being interviewed by Colin. Talks about how great Drew is, his time at USC, the Bills, etc.

Always loved Reggie, wish he could have stayed with us. Maybe he makes another saints playoff appearance??

Such a cool relationship with the team and city.

His marketing rep calls Sean Payton the night of the draft, tells him Reggie doesn't want to come to NO, SP curses him out and drafts him anyway, and Reggie falls in love with the franchise, the city and the people.

Really? Never heard he didn’t want to come and Sean still drafted him

Yeah, SP told the story recently (I believe on the Rich Eisen show).

Indeed.

In Sean Payton’s newly released memoir Home Team, the Saints coach passes along the story of Bush’s marketing agent, Mike Ornstein, telling Payton not to draft Bush in 2006
because, “This kid doesn’t want to come there.”

Payton’s priceless response: “[Expletive] you.”

I dream about getting Reggie back instead of cj spiller. Think I read Reggie was about to board a flight to New Orleans when he was told we went with spiller. Wow what could have been.

Great interview... I wish Reggie would have stayed a few more years!

Uh, I love RB and his time with the Saints was great and all....but we have 2 superior, complementary running backs here, so a smartly retired oft-injured RB really doesn't appeal to me...as for staying a few more years, if that was the case we never would have gotten Darren Sproles and probably would have overpaid RB....He wanted to be a feature back, that wasn't going to happen here, it was time for him to leave, I think it benefitted both parties....

Me too.
Wore the Latt Sunday, then the 25 Monday.

I have a Brees Salute to Service jersey that I want to break out, but I am saving for a special occasion.

That is very nice.

I had been out of the jersey buying business for many years, until Latt and AK came along. Reinvigorated me.

I’ve never had a DB9 but I will get a special one at some point. And I won’t wear it.

Yeah Payton talked about that in his book. He made a bet with the coaches that Reggie wouldn't be the first pick. When he was told that Reggie didn't want to go to NOLA, he basically responded with F you and hung up lol. He also mentioned that after the SB win that he told Reggie it didn't seem like it at the time, but he was meant to be here.

As others have said, I cannot wait to read whatever book Sean writes after he retires.

Coach was such a savage....but in a very good way. Makes me love him even more
