Now Cushing's coverup seems as bad as the crime. Why can't they all be like Andy Pettitte? When he got caught, he admitted it, asked for forgiveness and resumed his career.
Players underestimate how much fans want to forgive them. They want to put them on pedestals. A player enhances his appeal by looking vulnerable and seeking forgiveness.

I know most of you guys can't stand Justice, but that just means you're playing right into his hands because he's of course a provocateur.
But I totally agree with his take of what Cushings strategy should have been when he was busted dirty, but I'm guessing the strategy he did use was
based on advise he got from the same guy who told him the dope he was on would be undetectible to league testing.
I've now moved to the place where I'm more interested in the Texans mind set on taking Cushing with their first round pick last year ? Were they just plain incompetant in their efforts to discover he was a doper, or were they more of the same mindset of Cushing himself in the sense that they thought
he could go undetected in testing ? It would be surprising to me if McNair was willing to take him knowing he was a doper and wanting him bad enough even if his use was discovered and revealed ?
