The Buffalo Bills signed running back Reggie Bush on Monday, adding experience to their uncertain offensive backfield.Bush, 31, is expected to compete with veteran Mike Gillislee and rookie Jonathan Williams for a backup role behind LeSean McCoy in training camp.Its good to be back to football, Bush said Monday. I felt like the opportunity here was special for me and the team, for the coaching staff and for the fans as well.Karlos Williams, who showed promise as a rookie as the Bills No. 2 running back last season, is suspended for the first four games of the regular season for a violation of the NFLs substance abuse policy. Jonathan Williams was arrested for suspicion of DWI earlier this month, although if the 2016 fifth-round pick is suspended, it likely will not happen until later in the upcoming season or until the 2017 season.Offensive coordinator Greg Roman has already discussed with Bush the possibility of using both him and McCoy on the field at the same time this season.Bush also becomes a candidate to return punts for the Bills. None of the three players who returned punts for the Bills last season -- Marcus Thigpen, Denarius Moore or Leodis McKelvin -- remains on Buffalos roster.The move is interesting in that in 2012, Bush and then-Jets coach Rex Ryan famously did some verbal sparring before the Jets and Dolphins first meeting that season.?Leading to the game, Ryan said Bush would get a little hot sauce. Bush injured his knee before halftime and later said he thought the Jets were looking to hurt him.Earlier Thursday, Ryan was asked about his hot sauce comment.See, thats whats so funny. That was a respect thing. I had to put a little extra hot sauce on him. You know whats funny, literally it was more of our attention, he said. I think he misunderstood me and ran for like 100 yards against me the next time we played, so that wasnt good.Bush isnt holding the comment against Ryan four years later.Me and Rex have had some battles, going back a long time, Bush said Monday. So we have history, obviously, from New Orleans to Miami. But Ive always been a fan of Rex, and now getting a chance to play for him I think is going to be pretty cool.As a member of the San Francisco 49ers last season, Bush tore the meniscus in his left knee slipping and falling on an exposed concrete surface surrounding the field in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. He was later placed on injured reserve, ending his season.In January, Bush sued the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, which runs the Edward Jones Dome, over his injury.The former 2005 Heisman Trophy winner and the second-overall pick of the 2006 draft has struggled to stay healthy the past two seasons. He was released by the Detroit Lions after an injury-plagued 2014 season in which he was limited to 297 rushing yards in nine games.Bush has totaled 5,493 rushing yards and 3,508 receiving yards in 10 NFL seasons. He eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in 2011 with the Miami Dolphins and again in 2013 with the Lions.Now entering his 11th season, Bush is re-evaluating his future after each season.I think Im just taking it year-by-year, Bush said Monday. Im just happy to be back to football. After this season is over, and granted that Im able to stay healthy and be myself, Ill make a decision after that and see.

SAN DIEGO -- Businessman Kim Andersen of Denmark is running for president of World Sailing, saying the governing body is at a crossroads under incumbent Carlo Croce.While wanting to increase the sports visibility worldwide and protect its spot in the Olympic lineup, Andersen is calling for more transparency in how the organization manages the sport and its finances.How we guide and manage our sport has been very poor the last four years and we are lacking a lot of leadership, Andersen told The Associated Press by phone. The reason for that is a lot of changes in organization and management. Its still the responsibility of the existing board to be able to make the right decision and be able to run the organization.Andersen is running against Croce and Paul Henderson of Canada, who was president of the organization from 1994-2004 and is a former member of the International Olympic Committee. Voting for the four-year term is Sunday in Barcelona.Andersen, who is vice president of construction and engineering company MT Hojgaard and active in the Dragon class, said World Sailing needs a transparent decision-making process.Management systems in World Sailing must stand up to scrutiny, he said. World Sailing must be accountable to its stakeholders. World Sailing need to preserve and strengthen the integrity of its financial and administrative system.Andersen said Croce has done a quite poor job.Hes wanted to change a lot of things and thats a part of the problem, Andersen said.World Sailing is on its third CEO since October 2014. There have been several controversies under Croces watch, including intense scrutiny on the international jury that handed down harsh penalties at the 2013 Americas Cup, sailing being dropped from the Paralympics and youth regattas being held in countries that discriminated against Israeli sailors.Henderson criticized World Sailing last week for a lack of transparency in its finances.Andersen agrees, to a point.Of course, all thhe financial issues need to be open and transparent.dddddddddddd Just the fact were having a discussion of finances; we should never ever do that, he said. It should never be necessary. Paul is having a lot of issues where he is pointing at issues we should never have to point at. I would go about it a different way, but he has a point.Henderson has raised questions about a sponsorship deal with Russian energy giant Gazprom.I can say Im confused what actually is done with the Gazprom deal and the money, Andersen said. Pauls investigation shows theres something we need to look into but I dont have reason to believe something wrong has happened. But the lack of transparency makes everybody suspicious. Thats the real issue. That should never have happened. If you have a well-managed organization and are transparent, we shouldnt have this discussion because it should be transparent.The AP requested an interview with Croce. A London public relations firm that represents him responded with a statement attributed to Croce.This year has been significant for World Sailing on a number of fronts, including further improving and modernizing our governance, and I am pleased with the progress we have made in this important area, Croce is quoted as saying.He says he wants to ensure that World Sailing uses the best practices from the corporate and sporting worlds. If re-elected, he adds, he wants to cement sailings place in the Olympics and ensure parasailings return to the Paralympics.At 59, Andersen is the youngest of the three candidates. Henderson is 81 and Croce is 71.Andersen thinks he has a good chance of winning.I think I can make a difference, with long my management background, he said. Its something you can fix with a lot of hard work but its not difficult.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson ' ' '
