So Mario Williams was taken number one, with not a lot of suspense. And it took the Texans under five minutes to do it, so kudos to them. Williams has been holding up his jersey for 11 minutes straight right now.

Reggie Bush's parents get some time on ESPN, and they've obviously been living out of their car for a week. I hope they're OK. I'm also a little disappointed that Bush doesn't come with the "619" under his eyes. Anyway, we'll have another Bush in New Orleans... hopefully, this one's a little more successful.

With the second pick, here's MDS. Consider him your own personal Paul Tagliabue.

2. New Orleans Saints: Reggie Bush, RB, USC
Deuce McAllister just became the highest-paid bench warmer in the league.

We'll let the rest of the sports world scrutinize whether there was anything improper about Bush's college career, and instead scrutinize his Pop Warner career. A December feature on Bush in the San Diego Union-Tribune included this paragraph:

In his first game for Pop Warner's Grossmont Warriors on Sept. 3, 1994, Bush rushed six times for 203 yards and five touchdowns, according to team statistician Allen Barbour. On Oct. 22 that year, he rushed for 544 yards on 27 carries, kicked three extra points, scored eight touchdowns, caught one pass, made two tackles and recovered a fumble against the Kearny Mesa Komets.

This raises two questions:
1. Pop Warner clubs have team statisticians?
2. Did it occur to the Warriors' coach at any time during the Oct. 22 game (like after Bush's seventh touchdown) that maybe it was time to stop humiliating the Komets and give another kid a chance to play running back?
