    Unnecessary front page drama?

    http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/...back-reggie-bush-returned-2005-heisman-trophy

    This isn't that big of a deal... The article is short and pointless. WHY is it on ESPN's home page? I'm not sure I see a reason to return it. Good for him, but he should have kept it IMO

    Edit:Just watched the video.. They're discussing him returning it? He said we would return in a while ago? This is useless. Skip... pulling stuff out of his butt.

    That sucks. I cold see returning it for PEDs. But he earned that trophy through his play, and his family and agents and/or boosters and those shenanigans shouldn't take away from that ridiculously huge achievement.

    What a rare and prestigious award. I'd be devastated.

    He deserved that award. Regardless of what happen, he earned that award.

    Thanks for mentioning Clueless was involved; saved me some bandwidth. That's who I think of every time I hear the name Mr. Irrelevent.

    Skip Bayless has zero respect for the Phins and takes alot of shots at them,yesterday he was saying RT is not going to make an impact for them and was a wasted pick.He is obsessed with Tebow and Brady.

    This is because of Dan Patrick i believe. Bush had an interview with Dan Patrick yesterday over the phone, and Dan asked him if he was planning to return the Heisman because he (Dan) has asked the Heisman office a few weeks ago about it and they said they did not have it yet. Bush answered that he had already sent the trophy a long time ago, that he didn't know what he (Dan) was talking about.

    On the next show, meaning today, Dan Patrick confirmed that the Heisman office had indeed received the trophy a while back.

    So this is just espn poaching a non-story from someone else. What else is new.

    I don't like Stephen A, but his face was priceless when Skip tried to argue Reggie did not listen to the rules Pete Carroll "taught" him. Smith's face was, awesome. Gotta watch it just for that.

    Skip Bayless's continued career is the 2nd biggest mystery of man's existence

    The first is, who really is Chuck Norris's father?

    He should not have been ineligible for the award to begin with. That's the point of him returning the award. Small price for how he benefitted and took down a football power with sanctions

    It doesn't but because he received free stuff he should have been ineligible to play on the field and ineligible to win the heisman. That's why they took it away.

    they didn't take it away. he gave it back. if you look up '05 winner, it's still our Bush. USC on the other hand removed every droplet of Bush from their books and banned him from their campus. Reggie did this on his own will. He should not have. HE WORKED FOR IT. He didn't dope. He didn't get anything that made him a better player. Besides, his parents were mostly the ones who benefited.. I don't see your reasoning for removal in the slightest way.

    If the NCAA said he was stripped of the award.. than that's a different story

    Wrong. Heisman committee stripped the award from Reggie. He is technically not the Heisman winner of that year, nobody is.

    I stand corrected. They made it seem voluntary. NCAA says otherwise.
