dollars 2 donuts Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I haven't read this whole thread yet, but has anyone suggested the idea that it might be in Cushing's best interest from a fan standpoint...to just plain give the award back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but judging from how he responded, I think it's unlikely ... "I was just glad to hear the news, that people stuck by me. Very honored," Cushing said. "I'm very happy to have the award once again, and I'm just happy with how everything turned out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete This Account Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Looks like we're gearing up to run John out of here like we did with Tim Graham. Be mad over the fact that Cushing the Cheater won the DROY, but don't blame the AP. Blame the 18 ostriches who stuck their heads in the sand and voted for him a second time. thanks. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveRalph Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Quick...Who was last season's defensive rookie of the year? I'm willing to bet most of you can't name him without looking it up. (I honestly had no clue. And he was in the AFC East.) So who really cares??? Cushing won an award from sportswriters for on-field performance. The sportswriters and the AP are NOT the NFL. It is not their job to decide what is wrong and what is right and who should've been playing and who shouldn't have been playing. Their job is to vote on who performed the best, on the field. If the NFL says Cushing was allowed to play, then he is eligible for all awards. How are people more outraged about a worthless award and less outraged about the ridiculous 8-month process that spiraled from this failed September test??? What if Cushing had 14 tackles, two INT, two sacks, and a fumble recovery against the Bills, in a game he possibly should've been suspended for, and the Bills missed the playoffs by one game??? I can't believe this isn't the true issue here. Additionally, the NFL informed Cushing and the NFLPA, but not the Texans. That's just ridiculous. Anyways, Cushing failed his test in September, but subsequently passed five other tests throughout the season. And he's still going to miss four games and forfeit several hundred thousand dollars. It's the NFL's process, not the voters, who should feel this wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordong Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 why: for re-opening the vote to a panel of 50 non-AP journalists, to determine whether Cushing should keep an award after testing positive for a banned substance. and the fact that 18 of those non-AP journalists voted in favor of Cushing somehow casts an ill light on the AP? YES an bunch of spineless jellyfish, that have NO regards for the rules.....The guy is a CHEATER...END OF STORY... unless your one of the 18 AP writers that doesn't care about winning at ANY COST. I only hope the name of these slugs come out. AP voting is a joke.....and they are a joke after giving a CHEATER an AWARD for CHEATING...period.
