    Did anybody see that Madden 08 commercial with Reggie Bush? He ended it by saying, "I want to take this opportunity thank those people that passed on me...Thanks"


    Madden didn't have to do that. That was a one team callout.

    The VY commercial basically does the same thing.

    both commercials call us out back to back. One player gets rookie of the year other goes to nfc championship game. As much as I think Mario will be solid and a good player that was only mistake we probably made, but we just don't like to admit around here.

    Demeco needs to thank every single team and scout in the NFL.

    (except the Texans)

    Well, the Texan's should have drafted one of them....everyone else on the planet knew that the Texan's made a mistake.....

    Now they have to live with it.

    Fair enough comment and I hope you end up being right.

    I would much rather Houston have a winning team than New Orleans.

    It's been 365 days now. Plenty of time to get over it or move on.


    For the love of all that is holy, please just move on...to a different board.

    Co-signed. I don't see how anyone who watched Reggie Bush's rookie season thinks he somehow deserved the #1 overall pick. He was an awfully ineffective running back, and the third option at receiver.

    Man, some of you Texans fans are sensitive. Not everything in the world is directly Texans-related. 'I just saw some guy buy a t-shirt, and it doesn't have the Texans logo on it. That's because he hates them!!!111!!!11!'

    What else could they be referring to other than the Texans passing on Reggie Bush, especially when they were the only ones who did?

    Isn't it primarily Texans fans that are complaining about the commercial??

    Is that the first time an athlete has ever said something like that? "I want to thank everyone that passed on me." "Getting picked low motivated me to prove them wrong." "I want everyone to know what mistake it was letting me slip so low." Etc. In every sport when they interview a superstar who was overlooked they always say stuff like this. The difference this time is it was YOUR team who was in position to pass on BOTH of them. Only Texans would interpret this as direct hate on the Texans. It's not like the EA marketing guys were thinking "What's the best way to promote our product and disrespect a specific team...how about the Texans? Yeah, we need to throw in a dig at Texans fans, those guys don't buy our games."

    Generally what you say is true, but in this case, name all the teams that passed on Reggie Bush...there is only one, so Reggie Bush can only be talking about one specific team.
