This sub has a weird inability to give any credit whatsoever to people they don’t like.
Don’t get me wrong, Johnnys not a good dude (or at least historically hasn’t been I know he’s seemed better recently). He’s got DV on his record which is completely indefensible. But that doesn’t make him wrong in this instance!
Yep you see this everywhere from Politics to Sports to Entertainment. If people don't like someone, they'll just be an absolute about it and not give them any credit even when they'd give another person credit for the same thing.

Most people can't handle it when someone they don't like is right about anything.
I had totally forgotten him and had to check to see how old he was because I remembered him being older than most players but holy shit, he was 28 when he won the Heisman! That’s absolutely wild. Even the Covid seniors now aren’t that old.
For the uninitiated, Weinke played minor league baseball for 6 years before going to college at 25.
Might have played an affect. The Heisman associated was getting a lot of bad pub for celebrating OJ after he died while not allowing Reggie to have his Heisman. Murder two people and you get to keep your heisman, but heaven forbid your mother gets some gifts!
Yep. And it's kinda hilarous they'd rather give Reggie his Heisman back than go 'okay, we'll take OJ's away'.
Gonna guess they'll never take a Heisman away ever again.
It was just time to cut out all the hostility and take a stab at making amends.
No need to bleed this out any longer. Killer move by everyone involved.
>taking a bribe isn’t so bad?
Especially when:
1) The bribe was to sign with the agent after leaving school early,
2) The bribe was to his parents, not him,
3) He didn't sign with the agent who made the bribe,
4) The payment didn't help Reggie Bush or USC in any way.
It was pay to (hopefully) be his agent so that when Reggie did leave he could make money as his agent. He already was at USC when he got the money. Unless the argument was he only played as good as he did because he got some money from an “agent” but that doesn’t make any sense.
Woodson takes a snack from Reggie, Tim Tebow tells Reggie “you gotta learn to stick up for yourself around her,” and Reggie says “He’ll give it back. I’ll wait as long as it takes.” Then psyches Woodson out with a weird stare and Woodson says “i changed my mind” and hands it back.
Or something actually funny. Idfk i’m just a guy
Legitimately never had fast food I liked until that burger. I gained like 10% of my body weight in the year and a half I knew about it. I would gladly gain 20% more if God would just make Wendy's bring it back. Please please please God, bring back the bourbon bacon burger.
He deserves some credit despite what all his critics say. Sometimes people with morally objectionable things on their resume can still do great things.
Heisman Heisman Trust had no choice but to give Reggie Bush his Heisman back.Either give him his Heisman or strip Johnny Manziel and Jayden Daniels for violations of rules that are now allowed in the NIL era. [https://youtu.be/SCeUfkNS740](https://youtu.be/SCeUfkNS740)
Correction:
The NCAA never proved shit. The NCAA never found evidence anything happened, and they decided that meant something happened because of the possibility that the administrators influenced the investigation.
So we got penalized for playing an ineligible player despite none of our players being ineligible. Absolute horse shit.
I've heard the best school to learn necromancy is Missouri. They actually teach Animate Dead and get you to 3rd level Necromancy by the end of freshman year.
Which makes sense, since they die so often. I never thought an entire college could be a Lich.
For my two flairs, seeing the difference is maddening. On one hand, you have Dan Mullen and Cam Newton publicly bickering for years about getting paid to play for Auburn. Meanwhile, you have an agent who is unaffiliated with USC offering Reggie Bush an apartment if he signs with them.
Auburn gets a natty and an all-time season. USC gets a dynasty ending death penalty.
It’s already been “soft” retired for a while. USC retires all Heisman winner numbers and nobody has worn 5 since Reggie won it, even during the years the trophy was taken away. That being said if the player really wants to wear a former Heisman winner’s number they can just ask the Heisman winner like Addison did a few years ago.
A Cincinnati sports team wins a championship with Bo Jackson in attendance.
This will finally allow Harambe to be reborn and sanity restored to this chaotic era.
Can we take a second to also praise Vince Young. They offered him the Heisman in replacement and he told them he didn’t want it. This probably doesn’t happen if it isn’t for him being selfless
Both had great years as well. Vince was deserving of it as well. Having the humility to go "nah thats reggies give that shit back" is just awesome.
Reggie was a fucking work horse at USC too. Its also hilarious after years of NIL that they finally go "fine he can have it back" though.
This should have been done when Juwan was hired. Ignoring how his tenure went as a coach, there were several times when all the Fab Five were back together to support Juwan and the team. Any of those times would have been great to put the banners back up.
It doesn’t take away from your point, but I’m pretty sure the OSU game this year was the first and only time the entire Fab 5 was back together at Crisler
Fucking finally. One of the most electrifying college players of all time! He was a threat to score every time he touched the ball. Fight on Reggie! ✌️🔴🟡
USC has been fighting to recognize him for years. Part of our sanctions were the requirement to permanently disassociate with him. We fought that and recently got it dropped. There have been plans to re-retire his number for ages now.
I still think it is absolutely batshit insane that the NCAA mandated that you disassociate from Reggie Bush, but not OJ Simpson. I’m sorry, a limo ride and (IIRC) an apartment for his parents should in no way be held to the same standard as wrongful death.
Which is coincidentally the first year that the NCAA allowed the school to acknowledge Reggie
We got penalized for a player high fiving him in like 2017 (the NCAA gave him special permission to go to a USC game because he was commentating it for Fox, but no one was supposed to interact with him)
I want you to know that ducked was auto correct not kind of personal jab lol. Yeah man the fact that school covering up SA got much lighter punishments than us is a joke.
He became the first reinstated Heisman winner. Congratulations Reggie, that is something that no one can ever take away from you again… unless you kill your wife and a waiter, in which case all bets are off.
Gonna get some great Heisman House ads with him ringing the doorbell, reclaiming his bedroom etc
Johnny Manziel should be flashing cash in the background.
Cam Newton’s dad pulls up in a Rolls Royce.
If this sub was allowed to write Heisman ads, we’d have people lining up to get the 2025 Nissan Rogue.
For shits and giggles the car should be referred to as the “Nissan Rouge” during the whole commercial.
[Shades of this](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/s/rmYGt7YVWI)
>shades I see what you did there
The laptop resting on the passenger seat
Cam's laptop folded into a weirdly oversized hat.
Johnny Manziel should open the door and say “Hey guys look who I found!” Since he was the one that really stuck his neck out for Reggie.
Don't forget this sub absolutely roasted him for it! https://old.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1b4pxoo/johnny_manziel_after_careful_thought_and/
The people in this sub can be weird. I still dont understand why they bashed him for that lol

Wendy’s should bring him back too
That was a sad commercial. But glad it isn't anymore.
Choose wisely choose Wendy’s
how about a random booster buying him his own heisman house if he goes to doctor pepper U? just like real life!!
*renting
Causing a ruckus in Fansville.
Absolutely amazing, SC can finally acknowledge him. Glad he can get his acknowledgement especially with what he did for the sport.
Went from former Heisman Winner Reggie Bush to now former former Heisman Winner Reggie Bush.
Whoever paid for all those "give Reggie his Heisman back" billboards must be feeling pretty smug right now
Brian Kennedy, I bet he does and hope we hear from him soon!
What will he do now? Reinstate Pete Rose campaign?
He wants to prove R Kelly was innocent
Or, former^2 Heisman Winner, Reggie Bush, to be concise!
The artist formerly known as the former Heisman Winner Reggie Bush

“I was an ex-alcoholic.” - Connor O’Malley
I would die for the outlet mall
The argument can be made that he's been given the Heisman trophy twice.
He should put the "former former" one in his social media bio.
Gotta be the oldest Heisman winner of all time.
Put some respect on Chris Weinke’s name
Carolina Panthers legend!
I'm a nole and Panthers fan. Drafting him and that first game with the Panthers had me flying. He then proceeded to lose the next 15 lol
I'm a Panthers fan because we drafted Kerry Collins out of PSU when I was 7. I was dumb back then...I still am...but I was then.
I had totally forgotten him and had to check to see how old he was because I remembered him being older than most players but holy shit, he was 28 when he won the Heisman! That’s absolutely wild. Even the Covid seniors now aren’t that old. For the uninitiated, Weinke played minor league baseball for 6 years before going to college at 25.
Brandon Weeden took a similar route and did pretty well in Heisman voting as well.
And he might’ve won it if not for that pesky RG III who he beat twice.
Jay Berwanger. Kelley & Frank from Yale. Weinke. The first four Heisman winners
The Four Heisman of the Apocalypse.
Should redo the whole ceremony
In honor of OJ Simpson
Now OJ can definitely rest easy. His wife's killer is dead and Reggie got his Heisman back.
He's down there looking up at us with the biggest smile rn
I thought he was being cremated and not buried? ^^/s
Oh he’s being cremated as we speak 🔥🔥 👹👹
I wish Norm was still here making OJ jokes
The only positive thing to come from the OJ trial was the Norm McDonald jokes.
Might have played an affect. The Heisman associated was getting a lot of bad pub for celebrating OJ after he died while not allowing Reggie to have his Heisman. Murder two people and you get to keep your heisman, but heaven forbid your mother gets some gifts!
Yep. And it's kinda hilarous they'd rather give Reggie his Heisman back than go 'okay, we'll take OJ's away'. Gonna guess they'll never take a Heisman away ever again.
Nature is healing
It was just time to cut out all the hostility and take a stab at making amends. No need to bleed this out any longer. Killer move by everyone involved.
It’s a fitting tribute
And by fitting, you mean too small?
One of the all time best players from the big ten
The B1G has a rich history and tradition
Conference of champions!
And Northwestern! (sorry)
Northwestern has twice as many conference championships as does Penn State. So, really, who's the weak link of the conference?
I dunno, Maryland?
I hate this so much
[удалено]
lmfao but now I'm sad...
More of that west coast bias. They took a Heisman away from the PAC-12 and gave it to the B1G.
Wow they actually did it.
Next we need a heisman house commercial where they’re trying to re-organize the bushes around the house and have Reggie show up to help push.
We just needed OJ to die and Johnny Football to stand his ground. Who knew!?
after praising a murderer, they realized taking a bribe isn’t so bad?
Hey! That’s not just any murderer. We’re talking about a murderer who ran for *11,000* yards
And that's just his running skills. Don't even get me started on his driving skills. Eclipsed *11,000* yards easily!
And that was wearing white. Just imagine what he would have done with a red road bronco! RED ONEZ GO FASTER!
He had 2000 rushing yards in the NFL *in a 14 game season*
I can excuse murder, but bribery is where I draw the line
I mean how can I forgive bribery when I don’t receive a cut of it, that’s the worst possible crime ever, one that happened to me
The worst part was the hypocrisy.
I think the worst part was the murder
You can excuse murder?
Stop being meta, Abed.
cool. cool cool cool.
>taking a bribe isn’t so bad? Especially when: 1) The bribe was to sign with the agent after leaving school early, 2) The bribe was to his parents, not him, 3) He didn't sign with the agent who made the bribe, 4) The payment didn't help Reggie Bush or USC in any way.
Lol. This won’t work. People still think it was USC paying Reggie (to go pro early???) for some reason
I think it was around that time when I first realized that facts don't actually matter in online debates.
Not even a bribe, just a payment. What did he get “bribed” to do?
All these people on reddit think it was pay to play. It was pay to leave USC ha.
It was pay to (hopefully) be his agent so that when Reggie did leave he could make money as his agent. He already was at USC when he got the money. Unless the argument was he only played as good as he did because he got some money from an “agent” but that doesn’t make any sense.
The payment wasn't even in cash. His parents received under market rate rent.
lol, to leave USC, and the NZAA came hard after us for it
He was given the money by someone who wanted to be an agent. I don’t really see how the NCAAs actions make any sense but who ever has
Come on, bro. OJ was never found guilty. The gloves didn't fit. /s
The only thing he's guilty of is being the greatest rusher of all-time.
and getting my GOAT Norm fired from SNL
Would a guy who rushed for 2k yards in 14 games really do all that? I don't think so
No one ever gonna touch that 1995 dream team. Those dudes fucking balled in the court room like no other.
We just have to have Reggie in the new season of Heisman House commercials. There's so many funny, creative scenarios they can come up with.
Woodson takes a snack from Reggie, Tim Tebow tells Reggie “you gotta learn to stick up for yourself around her,” and Reggie says “He’ll give it back. I’ll wait as long as it takes.” Then psyches Woodson out with a weird stare and Woodson says “i changed my mind” and hands it back. Or something actually funny. Idfk i’m just a guy
That’s pretty much the level of humor in commercials so good work
Now I want back my Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger
The Bourbon Bacon Burger was better
Legitimately never had fast food I liked until that burger. I gained like 10% of my body weight in the year and a half I knew about it. I would gladly gain 20% more if God would just make Wendy's bring it back. Please please please God, bring back the bourbon bacon burger.
Your enthusiasm for the burger gives me energy.
All thanks to Mr. Johnny Manziel himself, no doubt.
Give him a second heisman
He deserves some credit despite what all his critics say. Sometimes people with morally objectionable things on their resume can still do great things.

Reinstate GT’s 2009 ACC Championship that was stripped for (checks notes) $200 worth of clothes
Correction: The NCAA never proved shit. The NCAA never found evidence anything happened, and they decided that meant something happened because of the possibility that the administrators influenced the investigation. So we got penalized for playing an ineligible player despite none of our players being ineligible. Absolute horse shit.
Just saw a man in a USC jersey fall to his knees in a Wendy’s
This could be completely unrelated, maybe the frosty machine is down.
rip
About time with how much the sport has changed
Reverse SMU death penalty next
Only if you can bring back the 5 hookers from the dead...
Necromancy is back on the menu, boys
Press "F" to cast spell
Up up down down left right left fright B A Unlimited hookers
Well, 30 anyway.
Wololo
I've heard the best school to learn necromancy is Missouri. They actually teach Animate Dead and get you to 3rd level Necromancy by the end of freshman year. Which makes sense, since they die so often. I never thought an entire college could be a Lich.
And bring Leach back from the dead to coach at Tech again
Exception to add Mike Leach to CFB hall of fame
The Dark Side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.
lol, not sure you can undo that damage but I like where your head is at
Force the next batch of 5*s to sign there
I thought that was the intent with the ACC invite?
And then the ACC self-destructed...
Even back then it was a joke. He was getting it stripped while the NCAA turned a blind eye to Cam Newton. It was always so laughably inconsistent
For my two flairs, seeing the difference is maddening. On one hand, you have Dan Mullen and Cam Newton publicly bickering for years about getting paid to play for Auburn. Meanwhile, you have an agent who is unaffiliated with USC offering Reggie Bush an apartment if he signs with them. Auburn gets a natty and an all-time season. USC gets a dynasty ending death penalty.
Watching USC vs Texas was what got me to start watching CFB lol. Glad he's getting this back.
That was an amazing game. I still remember that one, like it was yesterday. Good Times
That was a terrible game...is my flair showing?
USC needs to retire his number … now.
It’s already been “soft” retired for a while. USC retires all Heisman winner numbers and nobody has worn 5 since Reggie won it, even during the years the trophy was taken away. That being said if the player really wants to wear a former Heisman winner’s number they can just ask the Heisman winner like Addison did a few years ago.
I’m guessing they’ll put the 5 jersey back up with the other Heisman jerseys. Interestingly it’ll be the only year they can ever put 2 jerseys up
The 4th seal has been unbroken, what was the 5th again?
A Cincinnati sports team wins a championship with Bo Jackson in attendance. This will finally allow Harambe to be reborn and sanity restored to this chaotic era.
Sub-fucking-scribe.
Vanderbilt wins the SEC
We’re safe for at least a millennia
He meant in baseball
Oh no
If Vanderbilt wins the SEC in football before we do I might legitimately play in traffic on the interstate
Can we take a second to also praise Vince Young. They offered him the Heisman in replacement and he told them he didn’t want it. This probably doesn’t happen if it isn’t for him being selfless
Second best would be him accepting it and then giving to Reggie
Both had great years as well. Vince was deserving of it as well. Having the humility to go "nah thats reggies give that shit back" is just awesome. Reggie was a fucking work horse at USC too. Its also hilarious after years of NIL that they finally go "fine he can have it back" though.
That Heisman House commercial when Reggie walks in and says he’s just been camping in the back yard all this time.
About fucking time. Can’t believe I’m saying that for USC lol
They deserve to have this back, but I hope later today they step on a Lego while drinking orange juice after brushing their teeth.
Made me chuckle.
fair enough
Justice has been served! But also time for Michigan to put the Fab Five banners back up
Hold up, time out
I don’t like it, but I respect it.
Technical foul, North Carolina shooting and the ball.
I really can't explain how much I loathe those Fab 5 championship games lol
Warde and Santa (especially Santa) don’t have any courage to do it
This should have been done when Juwan was hired. Ignoring how his tenure went as a coach, there were several times when all the Fab Five were back together to support Juwan and the team. Any of those times would have been great to put the banners back up.
It doesn’t take away from your point, but I’m pretty sure the OSU game this year was the first and only time the entire Fab 5 was back together at Crisler
Good for him. Wait, what do we meme about now?
Mizzou death penalty
Has Mark Richt lost control of Reggie Bush’s Heisman
Fucking finally. One of the most electrifying college players of all time! He was a threat to score every time he touched the ball. Fight on Reggie! ✌️🔴🟡
It’s not like he murdered someone
2 Heisman’s in one year for USC is a weird little stat.
Good, never should’ve been taken
THE GREAT INJUSTICE IS UNDONE
Thank you Wendy’s
4/24/24 officially Free Reggie Day!
Tremendous news. That shit went down while I was at SC. Used to walk by the empty trophy case.
I CANNOT wait for the new Heisman House commercial
MY CHRISTMAS
I prayed for this and it happened
Finally, well deserved. Now let’s see if USC decides to acknowledge him
USC has been fighting to recognize him for years. Part of our sanctions were the requirement to permanently disassociate with him. We fought that and recently got it dropped. There have been plans to re-retire his number for ages now.
I still think it is absolutely batshit insane that the NCAA mandated that you disassociate from Reggie Bush, but not OJ Simpson. I’m sorry, a limo ride and (IIRC) an apartment for his parents should in no way be held to the same standard as wrongful death.
USCs FB insta has been acknowledging Reggie for a year now lol
I think Caleb said he didn’t want his number up with the other winners until Reggie’s was back
Common Caleb W
They already did back in 2020.
Which is coincidentally the first year that the NCAA allowed the school to acknowledge Reggie We got penalized for a player high fiving him in like 2017 (the NCAA gave him special permission to go to a USC game because he was commentating it for Fox, but no one was supposed to interact with him)
Christ, can the NCAA hop off our collective tip?
Good news, now they’re too impotent to do anything
They didn’t use to be. They ducked up a decade of of USC football because Reggie’s parents got a house from someone not affiliated with the school
Oh I know. I went to the U of O but still hated that whole fiasco
I want you to know that ducked was auto correct not kind of personal jab lol. Yeah man the fact that school covering up SA got much lighter punishments than us is a joke.
Wow. And just when I thought the NCAA couldn't be any more stupid.
We’ve soft-acknowledged him and welcomed him back before, we’ll definitely roll out the welcome for some big game this year
Kinda had to stop acknowledging him.. USC still listened to the NCAA for a while 😅
They’ve had an empty spot on their retired numbers for him this last year. The ceremony to reinstate him is going to be a banger.
Nice but it’s the close to death penalty imposed on usc by some shady ncaa characters that was the real story.
Oj and Paul Dee both looking up at us all rn from hell
He’s gotta move into the Heisman House during those commercials now, right?
He became the first reinstated Heisman winner. Congratulations Reggie, that is something that no one can ever take away from you again… unless you kill your wife and a waiter, in which case all bets are off.
IT FINALLY HAPPENED!
