Cushing failed a drug test in September of 2009

Looks like Brian Cushing also failed a drug test in September of last year. this is why the NFL suspended him four games for his most recent violation of the banned substances policy. One more violation, and he's kicked out of the league for a year. His performance will warrant a close, watchful eye in 2010 when he returns from his suspension. Remember, Shawne Merriman was a shell of his former self after they caught him juicing.

Didn't Cushing win DROY last season?!

not for long

I bet he’ll get it stripped and be the precedent-setter.

I feel bad for Joe DeFranco. He’s one of the best trainers out there and Cushing was one of his star clients. Even without the roids he would’ve been doing very well, largely due to DeFranco. Now people are going to question his qualifications because of this.

Obviously, the steroids helped him with recovery and enabled him to work as hard as he did… but he’s definitely a case where the work was always there. Sucks for Joe.

MOOBS.

Probably because he wasn't on defense?

How can you not love a team that does this?

Powers would be a better choice.

Schefter says they're having a revote.

"If you define your personality as creative, it only means you understand what is perceived to be creative by the world at large, so you're really just following a rote creative template. That's the opposite of creativity. Everybody is wrong about everything, just about all the time.

But ANYWAY..."
