Run. Run far away from Primerica. My husband didn't make a dime with this company and turned off a lot of friends and family.

Doubt it!!!

Just sayin I don't feel he has lived up to his all-world hype. Is it his fault the media hyped him up so much...no. But it is what it is. Just my personal opinion. No need for the personal attacks.

I see a bunch of threads on here debating whether Bush is a bust or not. I think this is a good summary of both sides of the argument....

For bust...
1. Ranks very low in the league as far as running back stats go.
2. Fumbles and drops passes too much.
3. Team wins more without him.
4. Was drafted as a running back, not WR or PR.
5. Makes too much money to return punts.

Against Bust....
1. Good PR and WR.
2. Scored most TD's in NFL before injury.
3. Defenses must respect his open field capabilities.
4. His name alone has brought attention to the Saints.


I see both sides of the debate but hasn't he ultimately been a bust for the following reasons. Many experts predicted he would be a pro-bowler, possible MVP candidate. The day of the draft everyone was dogging on the Texans because they believed Bush would be the best player in the NFL. A gem that only comes along every 20 or so years. To me he has fallen well short of these expectations and it doesn't look like he will ever meet them. Doesn't this equal bust?

I think Haslett had that record with a lot less talent.

So it seems significanlty improving through the draft is about impossible.

What is his record after his first season? One winning season in almost three years. Every year the "experts" say we are one the most talented teams in the NFL. So are the Saints really not that talented or is it coaching. :dunno: Please don't say injuries, every team has injuries. (Look at the Patriots) I really liked Payton but I am beginning to lose confidence in him.

Slightly sad to see her go. I like how tough and bitchy she was. Brought a little edge to the show. I think the suits at ABC really handled this badly.

Yes it is completely unfair to not pay them. Or at least let them have a job in the offseason. I was a scholarship athlete in the 90s. I still needed money for clothes, laundry detergent, cable, books, school supplies, shoes, shampoo, deodarant, toothpaste, and other items that would come up during the semester. My parents did not have a lot of money. I had to live off whatever I made during the summer. It was very difficult. Couldn't have much of a social life either. During my junior and senior seasons I had to observe high school classes. This meant driving to the various local schools. Had no car or gas money. Fortunately I was able to bum rides from people. Anyway it would have been nice to have a job and be able to afford a small car note. It is completely unfair to not pay these athletes or at least let them have a job.

I don't know any Catholic priests with Hummers?
