You know the SUC parrots need something to repeat!

“There’s nothing I’m going to say or prove that’s going to help turn anything over.”

The rest of SUC needs to take this up as their motto.

Is that just a polite way of saying that because he was juiced up on steroids, he can train and do a lot more compared to being off the stuff? Having his cake and eating it too…

Expert disputes Cushing’s theory of overtraining

Tom Keown on ESPN is reporting:

“Cushing and a doctor came up with the idea of overtrained athlete syndrome, and Cushing admitted the diagnosis didn’t come up with the first doctor he visited. Or the second. Or maybe even the third. It was a long, hard road to get to OTAS, but when someone finally mentioned it, Cushing knew he’d struck gold. OTAS — that’s the ticket. It allegedly means that a guy who works out a lot and then stops can build up testosterone and pixies can walk onto the field from the magical forest and wave their magic wands and HCG can inexplicably appear in urine.”

USA Today is quoting a Thurman Thomas Twitter Tweet: “I have never heard of the OVERTRAINED ATHLETE SYNDROME, accept the punishment Brian Cushing… Jerry Rice or Walter Payton didn’t have it. . .”

The real loser, apart from Cushing who is endangering his health, is the Houston owner, Bob McNair, who has jetted to the Big Apple to bloviate in front of NFL Commish Roger Goodell. If McNair is not careful, he will begin to be viewed as a dottering buffoon.

The August 9 Houston Chronicle article tells exactly what McNair asked Goodell to do:

A person with knowledge of Cushing’s situation said McNair will present new evidence to Goodell the owner hopes will shorten or eliminate the suspension that is costing the linebacker games against Indianapolis, Washington, Dallas and Oakland.

Now if Cushing is innocent, then why should his suspension be reduced? There is no intellectual intergrity in the reduced punishment argument which the Chron reports McNair pitched to Goodell. Cushing claims he never did anything wrong.

Two options, if Cushing is entirely innocent, he is suffering from a dreadful case of overtrained athlete syndrome. In that case, vacate Cushing’s suspension and apologize profusely for smearing his good name. The second option—Cushing is an out-and-out liar who took steroids and who induced his employer (McNair) to lie to Goddell. In which case, Goodell needs to tell McNair, man-to-man, don’t ever try this again and appeal denied. The last thing you would ever want to do is reduce the suspension if Cushing is a liar.
