aside from smoking tons of pot or working at an ice cream stand, how could he have done that?

get over it. Did he likely do steroids? Probably so. Him and tens of thousands of pro/college athletes.

that being said I know guys who gained 40 lbs once they got to college without getting fat who never even saw the inside of a weight room. With the right genetics, diet and an assload of work it's possible that his is all natural...as long as he never fails a test and thus hurts the team I could care less anyway.

I have these exact same sentiments. Once he signs his contract, he will be able to afford Pro-level masking agents.......

They don't test for HGH in the NFL, he should be able to afford the good stuff now.

OK, i stand corrected. although being told to "get over" something i didn't actually say, on my 5th post here, seems a bit harsh.

so you are complaining that he treated you like very other poster here? Do you want to be treated like a new poster? I've always thought that one of the best parts of this site is that nobody is judged by their post count like it somehow signifies knowledge.

So take it as a compliment that you were treated like every long time poster here.

Wasn't trying to be "harsh" at all so I apologize. I could care less about post counts as well too. I also know you didn't say "steroids", but I think 99.9% of the people who saw your post assumed that's what you were referring to. If you weren't then I'll apologize for that too.

In general I am sick to death of all the steroid talk. I've never done steroids, but I could care less if someone else does. I would never recommend that anyone do them, but considering the millions of dollars at stake and the intense competition for jobs in the major professional sports I'm surprised more people don't do them. The media turned a blind eye to it for a long time, and then once it was out in the open had the nerve to be morally outraged. Now, it's all they talk about.

I wouldnt worry about post count here. Opinions are taken as is. No matter how long or short your stay has been. I can assure you that unless you are "he who shall not be named" ok so he is SLY, and bring valid opinions with respect for everyone else then there is no tar and feathering waiting for you.

Just remember that this board is more thoughtful than your average board and it is ok to agree to disagree.

I took you post as implying steroid usage also, and you have to think about how prominent that subject has been in the media and how tired everyone is hearing about it.

Cushing has been hammerd with allegations for years with never any proof. The guy is a gym rat, he works out and trains non stop. Is it possible that he used yes, but he also seems the kind of person that wouldnt do it based on the adverse affect it could have on his body and carrer. He is a health nut from what I have seen and putting somethign like tha into his body is not something i see him doing.

How you were expecting people to draw the conclusion you were "thinking paralysis" and not steriods in your first post is beyond me. And I guess you need to keep your kids away from all sports as well as the gym if you're concerned about performance enhancing drugs, etc. Most of the time these kids do it because of peer pressure and because their friends are doing it.

I am very confused by this given your original comments. Maybe I need the paint by numbers version of this chain.

Steriod rumors as they relate to Cushing are fair game in here (heck, this is an internet message board after all), but let's please move on from any misunderstandings in this thread and rejoin the convo about Cushing.

The silliest thing about Cushing, in my opinion, were those analysts who were knocking him because they thought he watches his diet too closely. Talk about reaching!
