First pic - estrogen (see girls boobs) Second pic - testosterone (see Jersey Shore)

He's such a colossal douche
Is Jersey Shore that TV show about the leathery hotchickswithdouchebags.com fodder? Talk about another reason I have no use for that part of the country. Whatever small benefits come from NY/NJ, they certainly can’t outweigh the drawbacks of the people and the fact that it makes the trip for me to get to New England all that much more unmanageable.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

It's quite ironic that he is actually from New Jersey
Guns don't kill people, screwdrivers kill people.
Its not coincidence, I assure you.

Couldn't agree more
Anytime I think of Cushing I think of Vince high stepping past him to the end zone.

I usually think of the Mr. Hyde interpretation in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

well played

VY destroyed cushing that entire game. In fact, I think our offense game planned to read the defense based on where he was and adjust accordingly. And by adjust accordingly, i mean run right at him.
I think it was a much smarter move than running at Maualuga or Matthews would've been

The play I vividly remember
Is Vince waltzing right by him when he was supposed to spy or contain him, and then VY faceplanting a DB before diving into the endzone. That being said, I’m not sure if we specifically picked on Cushing all game. I’d have to watch it again.

I try never to generalize, but I have yet to meet a nice, intelligent, normal native of New Jersey. I have friends that live there, but they moved there to go to school and stayed to work in NY.
Someone please tell me there is intelligent, native, New Jersey life somewhere on the planet.

I coach with a guy from NJ
He is far from being a tool but he told me he is the anomaly as well.

Jon Stewart alone cannot redeem all of NJ
But he can maybe redeem one or two fake-baked douchebags with blown-out gelhair and Abercrombie jeans.

I do love Jon Stewart. I always lump him in as a native New Yorker and forget he is from New Jersey.
Cushing’s trainer sticks up for him. My Texans are in the clear…

That...
is just the USC strength and conditioning program at work. It is very effective.
They also have an outstanding housing program. Just as Reggie Bush for a recommendation.

It wouldn’t hurt to ask Joe McKnight about their complimentary Land Rover car service either.

I love the Texans (please hold off with the snide comments) so this is bad news. Not shocking news, but depressing.
When a kid goes from a scrawny 165 lb. freshman to over 200 lbs of muscle in a very short time, something is off. The front office drafted Cushing despite the rumors so they don’t care.
Richard Justice wrote a good article about the NFL, steroids and Cushing.
Cushing says whatever he took that was banned
is “nonsteriodal”. Whatever. He’s gone for four games and then everything is back to normal. Sucks I can’t see him pound Tony Romo and the Cowboys.

Masking agents are considered non-steroidal.
But all they do is cover up the use of steroids.
If it was really something non-steroid related, he’d come out and say what it was. “I ate too many poppy seed bagels!” The report could verify, and everyone could be happy.
Instead, its safer to say its not steroidal, which masking agents aren’t, and let that be the official and finished word.
Wasn’t it the Minnesota guys who got a positive test from an over the counter diuretic or something, which was confirmed to be what they tested for and plausible and all that? Yeah, none of that happening in this case.

Starcaps, right
You’re right that it was definitely a very different situation for the Williams boys. Those two took starcaps, which did not list any banned substances among the ingredients at all, and which the NFL actually knew but did not report to the NFLPA or anyone else. I actually think they should not be suspended at all for it, because unless courts and the NFL think it’s reasonable to expect players to maintain private laboratories to test all products they take for banned substances, regardless of what the labels say, and unless it’s also reasonable to conclude that the NFL had no duty to report its findings that starcaps contained banned substances despite the absence of banned substances in the detailed ingredient list, I really think the Williams duo exercised all that should be expected of them to avoid taking banned substances.
Cushing, on the other hand, did not, so far as any reports have indicated.

Uh, Not gonna happen. But it's fun to dream, huh?
Suck I can’t see him pound Tony Romo and the Cowboys.
2009: Cowboys 11-5, Texans 9-7
2009 Defensive Rankings: Cowboys #6, Texans #17
2009 Team Sacks: Cowboys #7, Texans #25
Last meeting, 2006: Cowboys 34, Texans 6
If you base everything on the previous year
then I expect every team to have the same record and statistics, right?

I’m cynical about Goodell and the NFL. It isn’t a stretch to think that there are players taking this stuff. The NFL isn’t about morality, it is all money. Fill the stands, take care of the brand. Only when the brand is hurt by behavior (Vick, Roethlisberger, etc.) do they act. The front office will turn a blind eye as long as the team is winning or it doesn’t involve any lost revenue. The NFL’s response to research on head injuries is a big example.
No one will care in a few years
Shawn Merriman got busted for Steroids what, two or three years ago? Now no one remembers. He goes clean the rest of his career and no one will remember this, either. That’s how sports is. “What have you done for me lately?”
In-VINCE-able.
