Jason Cole, 2006 Playa Hater of the Year nominee
I would like someone to tell me what Yahoo Sports columnist Jason Cole has against Reggie Bush.
About a week ago, Cole put forth the idea that Bush might re-enter the draft in 2007 rather than sign with the New Orleans Saints. The story grew legs, got ESPN tongues wagging, and made at least one blogger just a little nonplussed.
Then on Friday, Cole enhanced the Reggie Bush drama even further…
A source with knowledge of the negotiations said earlier this week that it would take a “dramatic” change to get Bush signed soon. The No. 2 overall selection of the 2006 draft missed New Orleans’ first day of training camp on Friday after talk of a protracted holdout and a possible season-long holdout surfaced last week.
Never mind, of course, that Cole was the one who started that talk in the first place.
Of course, that talk can be squashed now, as Bush agreed to a six-year with the Saints last night — just days after Cole wrote that it would take something “dramatic” for this to happen.
Cole’s bio states the following…
Jason Cole is an award-winning writer who covered the Miami Dolphins for 15 years at The Miami Herald and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. A member of the Pro Football Writers Association, he also has experience covering the NBA. Jason graduated from Stanford with a degree in communication.
I don’t know what it is that these Stanford guys have against Southern Cal football players, aside from the typical “success breeds contempt” line — or maybe it’s because the Trojans made the Cardinal look like Duke football last season — but I do believe this series of Bush-won’t-sign columns ought to get Cole an invite to the Playa Haters Ball. Jason Cole, this YouTube copyright violation is just for you…
