People around the Houston Texans often say the specter of an NCAA investigation of former USC running back Reggie Bush had much to do with the decision by the team to take defensive end Mario Williams over Bush. Bush scared the Texans by not returning calls right away after news of possible violations was broken by Yahoo! Sports. That’s partially true, but the clincher in the deal was a bit of advice from then Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells, a high-placed NFL source said recently. Parcells weighed in on the matter after being contacted by Texans owner Bob McNair. Source: Jason Cole, Yahoo!Sports
yes, obviously the Texans made the right choice. The 'distraction' obviously hurt the Saints. ............................... wtf? why the hell would an nfl team care what a player did in college off-the-field unless he was getting into drugs, guns, etc., which was never the case with Bush ................
