    Brian Cushing will be suspended 4 games to start the season for violating the league's steroid policy.

    *Per ESPN's bottom line.

    Is anyone? Will be interesting to see if his play takes a dip in year 2.

    Clay Matthews also had similar rumors if I remember, wonder if we will see his name soon as well.

    The Associated Press announced Monday that it will conduct a re-vote for the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year award, citing previous winner Brian Cushing's violation of the NFL's policy on PEDs.
    Cushing is eligible in the re-vote, but he's not likely to win. His All-Pro status is also in danger of being stripped, as the AP will re-vote for one of its outside linebacker positions. Though Jairus Byrd finished second in Defensive ROY voting in the winter, we're betting third-place finisher Clay Matthews would edge him out considering Green Bay's finish to the season. Brian Orakpo, who had 11 sacks to Matthews' 10, may also be a serious contender.

    I'll take ape nipples for 300, Alex...

    Seriously, the first I hear that what he took was a common masking agent is after he regains his AP Rookie of the Year award. All I went by was Mark Schlereth saying that it was not a steroid and that he should keep his award...

    It's a joke that the AP still revoted and gave him the award. He should have been stripped since he cheated, no questions asked.

    I guess it's okay to cheat:sad:
