Reggie Bush To Skip Bayless: ‘You Want Some Of This Or What?’

Reggie Bush's Twitter account has been making quite a bit of news lately. First, it was him saying, "It's been fun New Orleans" after the Saints drafted RB Mark Ingram in the first round. Second, it was Bush saying the lockout wasn't so bad because he can relax.

And now it’s Bush taking on ESPN’s Skip Bayless. He apparently wasn’t happy with something Bayless said on ESPN Tuesday afternoon and called him out on it via Twitter. In the process, he came up with an outstanding nickname for Bayless.

Skippy Skipper Skip Bayless said my performance on the field doesn't give me a right to speak my mind! But his performance does! MY BAD! I mean what was I thinking! This guy Skipper put it in so much blood, sweat, and heart into this game all behind a desk! You got it boss! Let me take a step back and bow down to Skippy Bayless! All Hail the great Skipper! He def has my Hall of Fame Vote! Canton here we come!

So naturally Bush then challenged Skip to some sort of fitness contest.

This is an Official Challenge to 1 on 1 full gear and full contact with Skip Bayless! Plus a full conditioning drill and weight lifting! If I win he wears a 25 jersey and a dress plus makeup on his show, he wins he gets a full game check! I bet he won't accept my challenge!!! Now put that on SportsCenter! Holla!!!!

Bayless responded and accepted the challenge...sort of:

ANY TIME you want to come to Bristol and discuss or debate anything I've said about you, face to face on TV, you are welcome. ANY TIME you want to meet in Central Park, NYC, and run the 8-mile loop, I'll be there. Then we can hit Gold's & lift weights.

As if this wasn’t ridiculous enough, Bush then delivered this line: You want some of this or what?

don't beat around the bush! I never once said I could do your job even though I can! You want some of this or what? and how did the 8 mile come into this! This ain't cross country you idiot stop trying to find ways to get out of this

So...game on?
