Texans Rookie of the Year LB Brian Cushing is being suspended four games for violating NFL's steroids policy. More @ espn.com

let's see how LAKESHOW spins this.

Not shocking at all.

Why am I not surprised...

This really has to be the least surprising steroid suspension of all time.

^ is that really cushing in the right pic?

Gayest cover in SI history. Cushing is a roid rager but thats no surprise. Maualuga is an alcoholic. Matthews is the only one left that isn't guilty of something, but I'm sure that's bound to change. USC is the Miami of the West.

Fantastic, this should help us make the postseason for the first time ever. Way to go dumbass.

Wow Cushing is an Idiot!!!! This will screw the Texans over

i am pretty sure Texans were expecting something like this when they drafted him. if they weren't, well, Cushing is not the only idiot in that franchise.

he was clean in college. its the pro game that has influenced this young man. quite possibly some of the veterans in texas have influenced brian negatively to take steroids or quite possibly someone has put something in his drink.

on a positive note, after dealing with hurricane katrina, reggie bush is saving the gulf coast area from the environmental disaster.

When stud & me did the draft wrap last year he talked about Cushing & steroids and I just kinda verbally nodded. The only surprising thing here is that it took this long for him to get busted. That's why I put him on the "busts" list pre-draft--he's juicing, and when he wasn't he was hurt all the time. Neither bodes well for a long NFL career.

Yea, we were all LOLing over the air at the idea that he was clean.

I love guys that come out and are so damn firm in their statements like "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman" when we know that Brian's been sleeping with the Steroids all along.

Lakeshow delivers again though, don't forget that Sedrick Ellis is a monster on our defense, and we went to the USC well again and got Charlie Brown.

He might not play LT this season, but he'll be starting at kicker with Lucy as the holder.

"I was substance-tested randomly by the NFL during the 2009 season. The results of those tests indicated the presence of a non-steroidal banned substance. The League acted to suspend me based on those results, which I challenged in my appeal of the suspension. I believe we presented compelling evidence during the appeal process to challenge the test results, and I disagree with and am disappointed by the suspension. Bound by the decision of the League, I regret the situation it presents to the Texans’ organization, my teammates, and our fans. My dedication to a championship season in 2010 continues undeterred."

Thank you Brian Cushing for that statement. We trust you. We believe you. and we LOVE you. Because such is the nature of some of us realgm fans, we are full of LOVE, not hate.

It's funny how his lawyer wrote the entire statement for him. I am surprised Cushing can actually read those big words like compelling and undeterred.

Fixed.

I cannot believe the voters gave him the award again even after he got busted for cheating. That is a sh** in the breakfast of every player that does it the right way. Way to send a message to all HS and college players that juicing is okay

I very rarely root against someone but I hope Cushing has a miserable season to prove it was the PEDs that made him special.
