"The media brushfire following Monday Night Fakeball revealed a few things. The NFL isn't overly concerned about faking injuries, and faking injuries is a tradition nearly as old as football itself.
To hear Reggie Bush tell it, teams often designate a player to be the "fake injury" guy. (Too often Bush was the "real injury guy" in New Orleans.)
"We actually had that before in New Orleans," Bush told the Miami Herald in reference to the fake injury play. "It's just one of those things when you get those hurry-up offensive teams. I mean, it's legal. They haven't made any rules yet to say it's not legal."
