Bush to petition to wear #5 professionally

Kaiser Toro said:
Firstly I did not write the rules and have refereed high school football and the numbers matter for a defense on the opposing side of the ball as well as the referees.

Secondly, I am not sure you have played sports, but all rookies get hazed in some regard and I was commenting on how this situation is an easy target.

I hope for all of the Bush advocates out there that we draft him or there may be a mass suicide. Thankfully we will be better next year with him or without him.

Well, it's nice to know you care so much about poor Reggie Bush getting hazed by his new teammates since you spend most of your words on this topic making fun of either the hype about Bush and/or talking smack to the people who think he'll be pretty good in the NFL (examples: your Kijana Carter remark, the mass suicide remark, etc.).

I mean, why are you feinting "concern" for Reggie's potential hazing in the beginning of this thread, but now it's turned to a bash-Bush fest for you? Acting concerned that he'll get hazed...and then posting remarks that clearly show you're not sold on the guy anyway, is just confusing.
 
I don't recall this board being wound so tight last year, or the year before. I see a board full of posters suffering from FDS.

Football Deprivation Syndrome is not fatal, but does attach the psyche of infected people and makes them post funky things on football message boards. More an annoyance than an illness, the effects wear off as soon as a football is put in play during an NFL season. Ingesting Koolaid of the appropriate color can temporarily lessen the symptoms. Group therapy can help, unless you mix VY and RB fans together. Avoid doing this at all costs! :stirpot:



Instead of fighting over a potential draft pick's jersey #, go get some Red Koolaid and try to relax a bit. It is only the 13th, hate to see someone have an aneurysm before the 29th over this subject.

Watching indoor football helps ease the pain. Watching the 2004 season tapes of old Texans games may help, but for God's sakes.....don't watch 2005. :ok:

Dear Dr. Filo,

I have that symptom too. Since no indoor football game here in Japan. Can I put a bit of Kooaid to my SAKE to ease my pain?

I agree. Six pages of Why/Why not #5 talk? Crazy. I can't freaking sleep so I come to the board to get the latest Texans update and I get stuck reading this topic. Damn!!!

He's not the first to try it. I think the guys on 610 said Edgerrin James also tried. Big deal.

Sorry my words have gone over your head, but you have missed the intent. Bush colored glasses are hampering Texan talk. Cannot wait until he is or is not a Texan.

No Bush-colored glasses here. It's just that the majority of the world agrees, and three years of his performances back it up, that Bush has positioned himself as a guy who is far and away the best no-miss RB to come out in years. Nobody is truly a "no-miss" but when we speak in terms of projections about who is most likely to succeed...I don't see anyone even remotely approaching the guy.

I think your intent was (1) that you want us to draft Mario Williams, (2) you saw Bush was pushing for his #5 jersey number, and (3) you saw an opportunity to jab Bush supporters in their ribs with your "concern" that he'll get hazed for it. But that's my opinion.

correct on #1 and #2, incorrect on #3.

Oh, I see. So if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it must be a...horse.

It's simple math. And the feint you attempted, as if you're soooooo concerned that Bush will get hazed, was a way to cover-up your true intentions: To get a war started and sit back and watch the fun. You want your guy to get drafted, you saw an opportunity to dig at pro-Bush guys, and it was too good to resist.

I'm cool with it. At least you're respectful about it all, and you can joke about stuff. There's no way in Terlingua we're drafting your guy, though. :)

I see no reason not to try it. When in Rome....:)

I saw somewhere (I think on ESPN) that the teens were opened up to receivers because the NFL was running out of numbers in the eighties due to number retiring.

However, Bush needs to come in as a rookie and wear the number he is given. Not come into the league as some primadonna asking to change the rules of the NFL so that he can stand out with his #5.

How many WR numbers are retired at Texans,Saints and Titans? Give him 28 like Faulk of Rams or 36 like Westbrook of Eagles. Hopefully Texans will use him in the same capicity. I`m like you I`m not feeling that primadonna atitude by Bush.
 
I thought it would be neat if he talked Morency out of nubmer 34 . That way we could have another great number 34 in H-Town sports history . Atleast I hope hes great . :cute:

When the NFL thinks of all the jersey sales and marketing $$$ they can make in LA by allowing Bush to keep his #5 and his California connection, they will change their tune. They aint in the business of marketing guys who look or talk like Edgerrin James, so it stands to reason they wouldn't make any exceptions for him.

The league is in good shape, it's not like they need Reggie Bush or any other 'once-in-a-generation player (like the NBA did), but they have an opportunity here to tap into a market they've wanted for awhile now, and this may be their best bet...

If RB is such a marketing gold mine, his jersey will have value whatever the number.
I can't imagine any person buying a #5 jersey that would NOT but an RB jersey because it was a different #...
