Is It The Shoes?

Reggie Bush turned some heads in his preseason victory over the Tennessee Titans Saturday but it wasn't his moves on the field the NFL was watching.

The NFL didn't like the fact that Reggie was wearing his new Adidas cleats. The league only allows players to wear Nike or Reebok shoes during games because of a marketing partnership.

Bush was fined $10,000 but later told the press "Adidas took care of it"
