You Might Want To Think This Over, Reggie Bush.

Kim and Mr. Whimsical

This seems like a bad idea.

I'm not some sort of love expert, although I did study at the Don Juan School of Advanced Romanticism in Sevilla while majoring in Romantic Literary History and minoring in the Study of Counter-Enlightenment, but I feel the need to comment about this little ditty by Reggie Bush in the New York Post:

Kim Kardashian might be rooting harder than anyone for the New Orleans Saints.

This may be true, although there was that whole Katrina disaster where almost 2,000 died, homes were destroyed, people were left jobless and the city was pretty much ruined. Despite being thrown into chaos, the New Orleans people rallying around the Saints. Yes I know winning a football game won't construct buildings, build roads or bring people back from the dead, but the Saints were one of the few bright spots the city had. They have a passionate following and the team has never gone to the Super Bowl, let alone won one. I would assume many many people in New Orleans will be rooting very very hard for the Saints to win.

I mean it isn't like Kim's going to get married if the Saints win the Super Bowl or anything.

She told a radio interviewer her longtime boyfriend, running back Reggie Bush, made a deal with her: If the Saints win the Super Bowl, he'll propose to the voluptuous reality star.

Hmmm. I really need to start reading ahead to avoid these traps.

It is not my position to force marriage guidelines on anyone, but this is a poor reason to get married. Let's think about this way. Let's say the Saints make it to the Super Bowl against the Colts. While stepping off the team bus, Reggie pulls his iliopsoas and cannot play. The Saints are winning 30-28 when Matt Stover steps on the field to attempt a 43 yard field goal with :01 seconds remaining for the Super Bowl win.

You mean to tell me that you, Reginald Alfred Bush II, are basing the proposal to your girlfriend on whether some Greek kicker from Dallas playing on the opposing team in a game you didn't even play in makes a 43 yard field goal in Miami or not?

This doesn't seem like the best way to enter into what should be a forever binding loving union. And yet, Kim is ok with all of this. I'm assuming she is ok with the agreement because there is no "angrily Kim responded with..." or "very irritated, Kim said..." statement following her on air claim. I would think a couple would marry because they way to marry, not because of some capricious outcome determined in a football game. You need the Super Bowl to tell you that?

You young people these days. So crazy.

Some cynics joked on Saturday that Bush might throw the game, but it seemed from his stellar performance that he's eager to get hitched.

He should be eager to do well for the franchise that gave him a 6 year, $51 million dollar contract ($26.3 of that was guaranteed money).

He's now just two wins away from holy matrimony.

Just the way God intended marriage proposals to work.
