Brian Cushing LB USC

[CowboyMort]

Just thought I would throw it out there. I know we don't have a chance at him at the #51 spot where we are drafting. He was on Sirius NFL radio yesterday and he was saying that he grew up in Jersey and was a Cowboys fan. He said he and his brothers were all Cowboys fans. Made me have a soft spot for the guy.

I hope he enjoys Miami.

And those reports are turning out to be false and those who did report that are now taking the story back and the same for Matthews.

The guy pee's an entire GNC store. He's hit hit ceiling and his organs will break down when he's 25.

I don't believe it, I've suspected him of juicing long before those reports came out

Hell that is good enough for me that you think he is. Does not matter if the report of a postive test ended up being a false report as long as you think it that is what matters. Wow

I'm not looking for your approval, so keep the righteous indignation to yourself

The doctor who administers the NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs told highly regarded USC linebackers Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews Jr. on Friday that neither tested positive for banned substances, including steroids, according to sources close to both players.

Cushing and Matthews were included in previous reports indicating that up to six prominent players had tested positive for performance-enhancing or recreational drugs in tests administered in February at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. Also named were Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji, Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis, Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin and UTEP kicker Jose Martinez. Cushing, Raji, Davis and Harvin all are projected to be first-round picks in the NFL draft later this month.

NFLDraftbible.com reported that Cushing and Matthews tested positive for steroids and the other four for marijuana. SI.com, meanwhile, also reported that Raji had tested positive for a banned substance

I'm not claiming to be an expert, I'm just skeptical that a guy who has to spend 1,000s of dollars on supplements isn't juicing

you're condenscending tone isn't earning you any points, so just knock it off "oh wow" "your expert opinion" shove it up your ***

 

[Doomsday101]

1 negative test dude

And what evidence do you have other than you opinion please tell me doctor. I would hate to see any player screwed over by an opinion or a false report by some media jerk who did not have his facts correct. Now if you got prove then please share it

I don't have proof

just like Harvin isn't the only college player to smoke weed, he's just one of the few to be stupid enough doing it right before the testing, even though I don't have concrete proof of that either

but Cushing spends 1,000s of dollars on supplements, it wouldn't surprise me that he's taking shortcuts along the way to maintaining his playing weight

Glad he's a Cowboys fan, but as a player he doesnt do much for me. I think he's going to be vastly overdrafted for what his ultimate impact will be.

I'm not trying to earn points with you I think you are a joke, making trash statement about thing you have no clue about.
