Why is 25 better than 5?

It's all just numbers, right? No, not really. Too many it's more than just a number it's a way of life. I really hate it when people use that term so incessantly.

What's all the commotion if Reggie Bush, the future running back for my New Orleans Saints, wants to have number 5 over 25. I mean wide recievers as old and slow as Keyshawn Johnson changed their numbers to something other that the typical eighties numerial. To put it bluntly, I think that the number 25 is a great number for Reggie and let me tell you 25 reasons why.

25. He will get this many touches per game, which will definitely make our offense more dangerous.

24. He's the next Jack Sparrow or Burroughs. Whatever Kiether Sutherland's character name is on the show "24". Neither one of them can be caught, their so elusive. They keep going and going. It's amazing no one has ended that show yet.

23. That's M.J. status. Not their just yet, but he's on his way. I will be a "Witness" just like those in Cleveland.

22. Double duece. Almost like Road House meets the NFL. Reggie will be kicking ass all over the NFC South. Watch out for him in Atlanta, were the turf is faster than a refill of coffee at the Waffle House.

21. Number of points he will put up on the board for us by week 2, barring pat.

20. That's what he's gonna ask for in guarantee money. That's in the millions by the way.

19. No one wants to be this number...Just look what's down for Keyshawn's career.

18. No Saint ever wearing the number 18 did any good for us. Don't even go there with Dave Wilson.

17-10 Had to condense somewhat here. The number of ankles he will break during his rookie season.

9. This is the number of victories he will help the Saints win next year.

8. Not to bash Archie. But you don't want to be Archie Manning, he got beat down like a pinta at a blind man's party when he played for the Saints.

7. Different directions he can change while running with the ball.

6. That's all he sees when he touches the ball.

5. This will be his number next season.

4. Number of quarters it will be painstakingly hard to keep from watching him.

3. That number is reserved for coonass' from Boutte. Cajun Canon. Loved him and hated him. Loved him when he got us to the playoffs, then hated him as he lost everyone of those playoff games. How could he have thrown 3 int's against the Eagles in that playoff game?

2. The number he was picked at... The number he will replace and make everyone in New Orleans forget who was #2 for the Saints last year.

1. The number one reason the #25 will be better than #5 for Reggie Bush. Just think collector's item because after this season he will win his petition to get number 5, and then everyone will rush out to buy a #5 jersey. 20 years from now, people will be trying to buy Bush #25 jerseys to wear as a throwback.
