Randall Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 <------------- :manlove: Thanks for posting Randall. It seems like the manlove is between Deuce, the city and the team. I wish I'd see more mutual respect with other players and teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I know this thread is about Deuce but I thought I'd toss this funny little tidbit of info in regarding Reggie Bush and the North American Leadership Summit yesterday. Email from a friend this morning: President Bush is here for the the North American Leaders Summit. My friends are doing White House advance work and so they have been in New Orleans getting everything organized for 2 weeks. Last week they put together last nights event which was a big courtyard dinner at Commanders featuring the three leaders, their cabinets and twelve or so New Orleans people. Drew Brees, Sean Payon, Byron Scott, Chris Paul, Deuce and Les Miles were there representing Louisiana. This will be Les Miles 2nd visit with the president in the last 3 weeks. Good things happen when you are a champion. Anyway...Reggie Bush was also there but they nearly wacked him from the guest list becuase he asked the White House 'if his girlfriend Kim could come.' When they informed him that 'eh, no...she cant come' he threw a little fit and said that he couldnt make it. Suddenly 3 hours later he called and said he would be happy to be there. Think his agent said Reggie you are a freaking idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 another RB with the 5yr plan....Pierre Thomas/Reggie Bush should be able to supplant him and leave Deuce to short yardage and GL situations...sparingly... and honestly...they should use Bush in sort of an H-Back role where he could be set in motion to receive a handoff, but be more-so used almost primarily in the passing game...

Randall Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Deuce McAllister (knee surgeries) ran full-speed pass routes for the first time this offseason Monday. There's no word on whether he came up sore after practice. McAllister is coming off microfracture surgery on his right knee and a torn left ACL. He anticipates having limited participation when the Saints convene for OTAs. Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Deuce McAllister (knee surgeries) ran full-speed pass routes for the first time this offseason Monday. Was talking to my buddy who works for the Saints about the situation and he mentioned he has heard roundabout from trainers/doctors that Deuce isn’t where they want him to be at this point in his recovery.

Duchess Jack Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I like Deuce as well, but why do people like him so much? I guess I do not know much about him. I recall him being a beast when healthy, but he hasn't been healthy for a few years now. I don't recall ever hearing his name being mixed up with bad behavior, but I haven't heard about him doing anything off the field, good or bad.

myhousekey Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) I guess I do not know much about him. I recall him being a beast when healthy, but he hasn't been healthy for a few years now. I don't recall ever hearing his name being mixed up with bad behavior, but I haven't heard about him doing anything off the field, good or bad. His best days are probably behind him but this is still a guy who put up pretty good numbers just 2 seasons ago when he was healthy: 244 att for 1057 yds and 10 tds rushing (he scored another td on a fumble recovery) 30 rec for 198 yds receiving The guy is absolutely adored by Saints fans as he's a hard nosed runner who gives it his all on and off the field. Extremely dedicated to community service with "Catch-22" Foundation, which features his college number. Has been a strong supporter of Hurricane Katrina-related support programs throughout Gulf South region, among other charity work. Has expanded business portfolio in recent years to include the renovation of the 82-year-old King Edward Hotel in downtown Jackson, Miss., turning the building into office space, condos and apartments. Also involved with car dealerships in Gulfport, Miss. and Jackson, Miss, and a trucking company Edited May 7, 2008 by myhousekey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce is the kind of guy that football fans dream of having on their team. On the field he has done a lot for the Saints despite his injuries, but I would say what he does off the field sets him apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
