That’s My Story

Did Drew Brees symbolically hand off the Madden Curse to Reggie Bush?
In Monday night’s matchup against the 49ers Bush suffered a right leg injury during a punt return in the fourth quarter. Several media outlets have said the severity is anywhere from a fractured fibula to a broken leg. All report the star running back will be out at least six weeks.
This has not been a good week for Bush. Earlier last week he gave back his Heisman Trophy surrounded by a cloud of controversy. According to published reports the NCAA said Bush should have been ineligible for the 2005 season because he received improper benefits from sports marketing agents.
While his eligibility was in question no one can question Bush’s talent. Scoring the first touchdown of the game in a beautiful pass from Brees quickly reminded football fans of that.
Then in the fourth quarter the party since the 2010 Super Bowl stopped in New Orleans when Bush went down for the count.
As I pointed out in my last blog post tradition was not on the side of Brees who appeared on the latest cover. Could Brees’ fate be to lose one of his targets?
Only time will tell — now I need to get back and reconfigure my fantasy roster.
