Saints tailback Reggie Bush made his first public appearance in New Orleans since the end of the 2007 season Friday night, hosting a star-studded charity event with Shaquille O'Neal at the Hilton Riverside and walking the red carpet with celebrity girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
But Bush said he plans on spending a lot more time in the Crescent City this offseason than he did a year ago, when he trained primarily back home in Southern California.
Heading into his third NFL season, Bush is eager to bounce back from a disappointing sophomore campaign, which ended four weeks early because of a knee injury.
"I plan to take on a whole new approach as far as our road to the Super Bowl. Hopefully, that's where our destiny ends up," said Bush, who experienced the first losing season he can remember in 2007 and faced more criticism and skepticism than ever before about his ability to succeed at the NFL level.
"I feel like I have a lot to prove, a lot to try to make up for, what we lost last year. I feel like we all have a sense of urgency, and we have a lot to make up," said Bush, who did not require surgery to repair the torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "It wasn't just tough for me, it was tough for everybody. It was such an up-and-down season. It was a very energy-draining season mentally. Hopefully, this season we can get off to a good start and just concentrate on one win at a time.
"I'm very eager to get back on the field, just to get back into working out, get around my teammates again and get started back on this thing again,"
