Simmons won't let it go (Good!)

Bill Simmonss, The Sports Guy, on ESPN.com's Page 2 with his weekend NFL picks.

Part of his schtick is his amazement that the Texans passed on Reggie.

He's amazed. I'm amazed. But he's amazed:

PACKERS (-2) over Saints
We're about three weeks away from the first "Mike McCarthy is the white Art Shell" joke. But here's the thing about Reggie Bush, as well as the No. 3 reason Houston should have drafted him behind No. 1 ("Every Texan fan wanted to root for him") and No. 2 (he's infinitely more marketable than Mario Williams): he didn't even have a big game on Sunday, but you noticed him every time he was on the field, and it certainly seemed like the Browns were worried about him no matter where he was lined up. Well, how many skill players force opponents to (A) specifically plan for them, and (B) panic every time they run onto the field? Other than LDT, can you think of a single guy? Lord was that Texans pick dumb. I can't get over it.
