Family Matters

I’m among the highly skeptical that Reggie Bush was unaware his parents leased a house near San Diego from a man who wanted to land Bush for his startup sports marketing firm.
I’m also aware that Bush’s father, LaMar Griffin, is a bit of a loose cannon. One of the stanger post-game scenes last season occurred after the USC-UCLA game, when Bush pulled Griffin aside and chastised him for saying on ABC that he didn’t think Bush “was staying” at USC.
At the time, Bush did not officially announce he would turn pro.
“He really put me in a bad spot,” Bush said afterward. “I can speak for myself.”
After their little huddle, Griffin got back on message and said, “I don’t know what he will do. It’s his decision.”
