Texans Plead on Cushing's Behalf

Brian Cushing has asked the sports world and most importantly Roger Goodell to take a leap of faith with him and I for one am ready to fly.

Cushing tested positive for HCG, a drug on the league's banned substance list. The drug can be used to restart testosterone production after a steroid cycle. It is the very same drug that resulted in Manny Ramirez missing 50 games for the Dodgers in 2009.

But Cushing has promised the fans, team officials and Goodell that he has never injected himself with HCG.

So after months of tests and a lot of money spent on research the best thing doctors could come up with is... Overtrained Athlete Syndrome.

It is difficult for me to fight back laughter just thinking about this absurdity.

This is now officially my favorite syndrome of all time. Just barely beating out Restless Leg Syndrome by a fraction of a point.

Brian Cushing worked out so much that his body had elevated levels of a hormone that is created in the body during pregnancy. Nothing says big, bad linebacker like pregnant hormones.

Why didn't they just come out and say he was preggers. I may have actually believed it.

Maybe he accidentally took prenatal vitamins.  It can happen my brother did it all the time when his wife was pregnant.

Just remember kids if you are really rich and got caught cheating just pay your doctors to make something up it works every time.

I have a new title for Brian Cushing much like my qualification for Brian Urlacher.

Brian Urlacher is the best non-murdering linebacker of the 2000's.  (Ray Lewis stabbed someone)

Brian Cushing is the best pregnant linebacker in the NFL... hands down.

Continue the good work Brian Cushing and all the best in your fight against Overtrained Athlete Syndrome.
