Bush League


Reggie Bush was just plain bush league in his touchdown catch and run against the Bears on Sunday. His TD was accompanied by a highly visible taunt, a somersault over the goal line and an end zone Riverdance impersonation.

Rather than shift momentum to the Saints, who trailed by two points, the play seemed to galvanize the Bears.Chicago replied with 23 unanswered points over the next 27 minutes and rolled to a 39-14 victory at Soldier Field, advancing to the Super Bowl for the first time in 21 years.

"Yeah, that [ticked] me off," Bears linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo said. "You're a rookie in this league, and you had a good play. But to turn around and taunt [linebacker] Brian [Urlacher] -- taunt basically the whole team -- was a slap in the face, and I'm glad we responded."
