Reggie Bush, considered

The hold-out continues. Randomly:

1. This morning Jim Rome said, "I'd love to see Reggie Bush re-enter the draft, just to see the Texans pass on him again."

2. A Bush hold-out will marginally help the Houston Texans' PR fortunes, whether it should or not (and it should not). Reggie's basic position is that
since the Texans WOULD have drafted him number one but for money
considerations, he's the de-facto number one, and should get number one
money. Sorry, doesn't work that way. I love you, Reggie, but no,
you're a number two.

3. On the other hand, Saints owner Tom Benson makes Bud Adams look like the Patriots' brain trust by comparison. If he offered Bush number one money, he shouldn't have; but if he did . . . ah, I got nothing. Bush fell into Benson's lap. Why offer anything in advance?
