12th Man
The most frequent topic of conversation this past week has not directly involved Katrina or BP oil. It's whether or not tonight's Saints game in which the championship banner is revealed will be louder than the Return to the Dome game against Atlanta in 2006. It is hard to imagine it will be. Back in 2006 we were screaming with primal frustrations that a year since the flood had wrought. We were screaming at our insurance companies, FEMA reps, and corrupt politicians. Tonight against the Vikings instead will be joyful yelling, hugs, and high fives. It will be loud to be sure, perhaps loud enough for Minnesota again to have 12 men in their huddle. I think it will be a very physical game with a few cheap shots against Brees and fights to follow. I will be wearing my Reggie Bush jersey. I think this year will finally be the year that he becomes a marquis back, but then I think that every year.

Reggie Bush should not return the Heisman nor should he be "stripped" of the award. He won it on the field of play. If he got a few free meals or some nice duds, so what. He didn't win the Heisman because of how he dressed or how well fed he was. Nick Sabin, a class act, got it right when he said that those agents who cajole these young, relatively uneducated, college athletes are little more than "pimps".
Amen, Wolf
Therese
amen again, Wolf
But Notre Dame can keep the "win" that resulted from his foibles, yes? ;-)
