Summary
Ep #13: Newly minted College Football Hall of Famer Reggie Bush joins Roman on the pod for a very personal interview between former teammates with the New Orleans Saints. They both share what it was like starting their careers in New Orleans at the same time the city was recovering from Hurricane Katrina. Reggie gets candid about being a “broken” man when he arrived in New Orleans, and how the city and the fans helped rebuild his spirit. He also shares the story of Sean Payton going rogue with the Super Bowl trophy during the Saints parade after the 2009 season. Reggie details what he calls a sham investigation by the NCAA which led to him to return his Heisman Trophy, and why he believes his College Football Hall of Fame induction could impact whether he gets it back. Reggie also talks about how his new career as an analyst for FOX Sports has restored his joy for college football. Roman and Reggie share the origin story of their friendship, which includes a Las Vegas pool party, how his wife saved him during a Hall of Fame speech, and trend-setting at USC.
