In a Tweet that might as well have read “going 2 new england brb,” Reggie Bush reacted to the Saints trading back into the first round to draft Alabama running back Mark Ingram by going on the Internet, giving up completely and spending the rest of the day Googling “Reggie Bush.”

Via Twitter, the best place to say things like this:

About three hours later, Bush tweeted, “Congrats to Mark Ingram on being selected to New Orleans. He will be a great addition to the Saints backfield just as he was in Alabama,” so maybe he was just talking about the Hornets. Or he sent his Twitter password to his publicist.

Ingram gives the Saints a cheaper option at running back, and with a backfield that already includes Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory, I guess Reggie has seen the writing on the wall. Now he’s got to e-mail the guy that made his wallpaper and get him to photoshop in a bunch of Saints-nonspecific “Reggie Bush is awesome” pictures.

That may seem excessive, seeing as he only wanted a laptop while playing for the University of Florida, but hey, a guy’s gotta make some cheddar, right?

ESPN.com reported that the former player who was soliciting money on behalf of Newton was Kenny Rogers, who apparently also has some bad blood with the NCAA and the NFL Players Association. Rogers allegedly acts as an agent for college players like Newton, who was looking to transfer back to a D-I school after spending time at a junior college in the wake of his ejection from Florida.

However, MSU could only shake $180,000 out of the couch cushions, and Cam was allegedly cool with that because he was close with MSU coach Dan Mullen from their brief time together at Florida. He’s the quarterback hooker with the heart of gold.

Do we expect you to die, Mr. Bond? No, we expect you to talk:
