Reggie Bush misses his own deposition

Reggie Bush didn’t show up to his scheduled deposition on Monday. Instead, his attorneys filed a motion that his testimony be concealed from the NCAA and the media.

Got something to hide, Reggie?

I’m no law expert, I have no idea whether this is valid or not. But as an average joe, it seems that Bush is hiding something, like, I don’t know, maybe he did take money from Lloyd Lake while he was still at USC? Maybe he cheated and should return his Heisman? Maybe USC should have to forfeit some games?

Bush’s lawyer, David Cornwell (who is also a legal analyst for ESPN) declined to comment to the AP.

Here’s what Lloyd Lake’s lawyer had to say:

“It’s so that we can’t share the transcripts with the NCAA, which is a huge admission of guilt,” said Lake’s attorney, Brian Watkins. “Reggie Bush has repeatedly said that he has nothing to hide, and now that he has to testify under oath, he’s saying he doesn’t want what he says shared with the NCAA. Now all of the sudden it’s ‘Hey I’m going to have to admit to some things and I don’t want them out there.’

If you remember, the last time there was news in this case, Reggie Bush’s lawyers brought an armed observer to the deposition of Lake. Reggie isn’t exactly winning the PR battle.
