Great Example of a Classy Guy from justsc

by Fox 71 on Jan 21, 2007 2:42 PM PST

I don't think a comment about someone from justsc is off topic here. In the Chicago-New Orleans game which is still proceeding as I type this, New Orleans just scored on a long pass to reggie bush.

Someone in the BN who roots for the Saints mentioned that he or she thought that reggie had been a class act in New Orleans, etc., etc., and she was prepared to give him a pass even though his professional career at sc (i.e., when he and his family were getting paid for his football skills) was what it was and even though he had all the off-the-field issues. He or she (can't remember who his champion was) thought he had redeemed himself.

I took issue with that (and I still do, but that's not the point.) I said then that reggie got no pass on anything until he told the truth about his play-for-pay at Figueroa Tech.

I think I have been vindicated in connection with reggie's classiness. On his long touchdown reception, he could have just run it into the end zone (given that his team was still trailing), but no. reggie could not bring himself to do that. He chose instead to point at the Bears who were chasing him and then do a flip into the endzone.

A real class act. (His team is now behind by 11 instead of two. I suppose he'll pull out a sharpie if he gets a first down.)

Once a trOJan, always a trOJan. He must have taken some classes in classiness from Timmeh.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

Maybe they'll interview him after the game

Where he can then say "I still think we're the better team", since it looks like the Saints will NOT be marching in to the Super Bowl. Reggie pu$h's presence alone makes me root against the Saints.

Glad you brought it up

I was on the phone with Mr. BB at the time, and I said, "Oh now he's showing off because he thinks he's the shit." To which Mr. BB responded, "Well, look where he went to school."

The local media will cream themselves over that play all night and tomorrow morning. At least it was all for not.

39-14

It's all in the numbers. Sort of like 13-9!

PS

You showed yourself to be much classier than reggie by admitting that you made the post that got me started on my rant. Of course, you're a Bruin, and that pretty much says it all.

Ogunleye agrees with you

Defensive lineman Adewale Ogunleye said Bush had "no class."

"I told Reggie that was unprofessional of him to do that." Ogunleye said. "I think he's going to be a hell of a player in this league. But for him to point back and taunt, that was no class. ... I swear, I was a second away from punching him."

Call it karma

But when I saw that pointing, I said "What an a-hole" followed by "Game over." You don't taunt Brian Urlacher or the Bears' D. Especially when you've only cut the lead to 2 points. Unless you're a no-class a-hole.

Kiffin to the Raiders

Don't have time to make a proper diary right now, but ESPN.com is reporting that the Raiders and Lane Kiffin have reached a 5-year contract agreement to take over as head coach
