I know Bush is low on the radar here, but I believe he is "wiff" the Dolphins now. Bush is one of those affelets that has a very few plays, but are electric the times he does. The DWFs/GMs/Coaches become spell bound by this and believe he can do this game in and game out. But history shows he can not.

Here is a good article that give you a flavor of what he is performing like as a Dolphin. Bush's problem is that he is NOT an every-down back. The Fins were giving him that opportunity this year, but after a couple of games they saw that Daniel Thomas is a far better conventional back (I agree).
Reggie "Bust" was drafted far higher than a scat-back/slot receiver should go, and that's the limit of his effectiveness. As a normal every-down back, he has no strength or toughness. He is only good in space, which is why the Saints (and even USC) mostly used him as a receiver out of the backfield.

Yes, Wedgie Bust has been undeservedly featured is countless TV commercials. There are two different versions of the new Pizza Hut commercials currently airing. In one commercial, two drunken white fans are discussing fantasy football trades, when one of the homosexuals “trades†Reggie Bust to his friend for a single “Pizza Hut†pizza. Wedgie Bust enters the living room; his muscular physique provides an intentionally stark contrast to the “awesomely average†white dorks eating pizza on the couch.
At first, Mr. Bust is offended by the trade (“You traded me for a pizza?!â€). Of course, his tune promptly changes after he tastes a slice of that delicious Corporate Pie.
In another more disturbing manifestation of the same commercial (same characters, same setting, same plot), Mr. Bust arrives and sits next to “White Drunkard #2†on the couch. Smitten with the “honor†of actually meeting his black football hero in person…the little white p-ssy then oinks out: “This fulfills two of my fantasies!†Mr. Bust, black alpha-male that he is, looks at him in disgust and says: “That’s weird.†I couldn’t find the video for the second commercial, but I did find this still photo from the end of the commercial. The two were obviously shot on the same day, as Bust is clearly wearing the same t-shirt from the first commercial beneath his jacket…
Seriously, how does this cataclysmic bust of a football player manage to score so many filthy corporate dollars?

Reggie Bush is an example of the corporate medias ability to brainwash people. Coming out of college he was instantly given the keys to the kingdom when three days prior to the 2006 draft he signed a multi-year endorsement with Addidas to promote football and training clothes. He had won the Heisman and USC was Natl Champs so corporate amerika got on the bandwagon thinking this was the next Michael Jordan. But not so much.
Expected to be the first pick in the draft the Houston Texans signed Mario Williams instead, a move ESPN commentator Len Pasquarelli claimed was one of the biggest mistakes made in NFL Draft history. He slugged through a few years with the Saints never living up to the super star billing. But the media bus had already started down the hill as Bush was second to Peyton Manning in NFL endorsement deals. He had signed contracts with Pepsi, GM, Addidas and Subways. All for what turned out to be a marginal NFL player.
His celebrity status was guarenteed because his face was put on video games and consumer products. He banged a Kardashian--the required status whores for high profile black athletes and ending up trashing the reputation of the USC football team. His pay for play scandal is one of the worse cases of college football rule breaking up to this time.
He does do fundraising for some causes, Haiti and Africa, and poor kids and such, which is probably postering but at least it's a black man trying to help his people, and as far as I can tell he's not a douche bag in private life so the real crime in Reggie Bush is all of the white enablers who cheated him through USC and threw money at him to try and sell crap to the DWF's. Thus it's not really Bush that is the problem but the corporate media power structure and the DWF's they enable.

I would argue that Danny Woodhead is a better back in every way than Bush is, yet he doesn't have a gazillion-dollar deal with Pizza Butt.
