Is RB the MJ of NFL?

I just watched Saints running back Reggie Bush turn an everyday, nothing special screen pass into a 40-yard touchdown. Bush followed blocks, scampered, juked and faked two Dallas defensive backs right out of their Nikes.

Now let's think back to the 2006 NFL Draft when the Houston Texans had the No. 1 draft pick...do you remember who they chose? Frankly, I don't remember and don't care. But I can tell you who they didn't pick. And that's something that will haunt Texans fans forever.

Now here's something for your sports appetite to nibble on. Michael Jordan was the third overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, right after Hakeem "The Dream" and a fellow named Sam Bowie. Sam Who-ie? Exactly.

Bush could turn into the MJ of the NFL. So everytime he turns a run-of-the-mill play into a touchdown, Al Michaels will be inclined to bring up the Houston Texans (as he did in the Saints Sunday Night Football game).

I know I heard that Sam Bowie reference a few times over the years when Hir Airness faked hapless defenders right out of their Nikes.
