Give Reggie the $$$

In typical rookie form Reggie Bush is holding out of camp for the dinero. Now a lot of the time I think this is stupid and costly for the player, see Cedric Benson last year and how much PT he got after his hold out, but I lay this blame completely on the Saints. First off they weren't overly active in contract talks until this week, that is three months of sitting idle while you have a stud rookie that you should be frothing at the mouth at to figure out ways to utilize. Instead the Saints basically twiddled their thumbs and have the typical rookie holdout.

Mario Williams 6-yr 54 million (26.5 guaranteed)

Vince Young 6-yr 58 million (25.9 guaranteed)

It's pretty simple he better then both of those guys so combine their strong point of the contract and give him a 58 million dollar contract with 26.5 guaranteed. There you go simple contract and winner for both sides.

In other Reggie Bush news, that ESPN mobile commercial he is in is sweet. Where he's sitting on a couch with his buddies during a fantasy draft and his buddy drafts LJ, and he turns to him and goes "Dude that's messed up, I'm not even gonna go #1 in my own league, I won the Heisman", the dude then renegs picks Bush, to which Bush goes good I'll take LJ man your idiot, LJs ranked #1.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
