Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!

According to the Patron Saints Index, there is no Saint Reggie. There's a Regina, and a few from Reggio, but no Reggie. So it might be a bit of a stretch to expect Reggie Bush to be the Savior of New Orleans, much less the savior of the Saints. But that hasn't stopped Saints fans from gushing about our new running back. When the Texans selected Mario Williams at #1, it opened the door for a lousy team to get an electrifying player on the field, and an energizing figure off it. Jersey sales are going fast, even though they don't know what number he'll wear. Season ticket sales are doing well, and Bush is getting a standing ovation wherever he goes.



I would have understood if the Saints had traded down for more picks. A 3-13 team has lots of holes, and probably needs more than one guy to turn things around. So going for more picks would have been understandable. But it wouldn't have been exciting. It makes me want to watch every game. I'd even like to go to the first home game on Monday night in Week 3. The Saints offense next year could feature some pretty talented skill players, and let's hope that they've got some guys who can block and/or tackle.
