Sean Payton Told Reggie Bush's Agent 'F--k You' for Telling Saints Not to Draft RB

Reggie Bush said on the latest edition of I Am Athlete that the New Orleans Saints head coach said "f--k you" to Bush's agent when he asked the team to pass over his client.

Bush spoke about the situation at 25:25.

The Houston Texans picked North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams at the top of the draft. The New York Jets had the fourth and final pick.

The New Orleans franchise's situation was noted by Bush during his speech.

The Saints don't have a home stadium because of HurricaneKatrina.

That's probably not the best situation to go into after all the destruction. My agent said they wanted to go to New York.

The third pick. It's a big city. It's a marketing thing. You are going to make more money. I was attracted to the idea. Let's do it.

My agent called Sean and told him not to draft me. We aren't going. Should we not be drafted, all right?

Sean said "F--k you". Reggie Bush is my draft choice. It was hung up. I hung the phone up.

Bush decided that New Orleans was a good choice. Drew Brees called Bush to tell him that he had a chance to be as good or better than his ex-teammates, and that he couldn't wait to play with Bush.

Bush said that right there on the spot. I felt like I was going somewhere. It felt great to be wanted.

Bush said he was grateful. He visited the ninth ward after the draft. He referred to the opening stages of the 2010 investigation that resulted in his voluntary forfeiture of the 2005 Heisman trophy.

I have to let this college stuff go. Bush said that the people need him right now. I needed them more than they needed me.

Bush said he has a great relationship with the man who is now his colleague at Fox.

The Saints won their first Super Bowl title in February 2010 with a 31 17 victory over the Colts.
