The final word came down from the NFL that Reggie Bush will not be allowed to wear No. 5 his college number this season. The NFL restricts running backs to wear numbers between 20-49 and no exception will be made for Reggie who was drafted second in the NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. Bush even offered to donate 25% of the jersey sales to Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts, but that didn’t make any headway with the NFL officials. After two separate conference calls the NFL stood firm and went on to clarify they do not see this rule changing anytime in the near future. I can provide you my opinion on this decision in three words – All out ridiculous!
No #5 for you Reggie Bush
