My dude went to high school with Cushing and he said that he's been juicing since then. It's obvious to everyone except one guy

Just one question then:

Why would Tom Condon let his client hold a press conference just to lie to the media and everybody else?
 
Dr. Gary Wadler, who leads the committee that determines the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned-substances list, said there have been cases of malignant testicular tumors producing HCG. Still, those cases are "extremely rare."

"If he had a tumor that produced HCG, he wouldn't be playing football," Wadler said of Cushing. "He would be under treatment for a malignant tumor."

Wadler also noted if Cushing tested positive once because of such a tumor, HCG levels would be consistently elevated and he would continue to have positive tests.

"Malignant testicular tumors producing HCG are rather lethal," Wadler said. "It is a fairly aggressive tumor and you're not playing in the NFL with one."

That's my point.

Since steroids have become a major issue there have been two ways to go about it, admit it right away or lie. The guys who admit it right away are forgotten about for the most part.

So considering that he didn't even test for an actual PED, why not just admit it and move on and let people forget.

For a guy who's been accused of steroid use since he was in high school, he'd have to be a compulsive liar and covert as !@%$ to have been using all this time and for nobody to have anything on him other than one test with a very slightly elevated hCG level.

It literally makes no sense whatsoever to hold a press conference like that, even bringing Meco out to vouch for him, so I'm just asking you guys why he would do that if he was lying.

I can't believe you're serious about this question.
 
[h1]Cushing's tumor excuse gets exposed[/h1]
Posted by Mike Florio on May 13, 2010 10:11 PM ET
One of the most specious aspects of Texans linebacker Brian Cushing's press conference related to his claim that the positive test for hCG caused him to fear, based on the medical information he received, that he possibly had a tumor.  And he says he spent the balance of the season fearful that he had one or more tumors in his body.

It was the moment at which we became convinced that Cushing is full of something other than hCG or tumors.  People who think they have tumors get tested for (wait for it) tumors.  MRIs detect (wait for it) tumors.  Certain blood tests indicate (do we need to say it again?) tumors.

And if Cushing spent the rest of the season thinking he had tumors, he did a great job of keeping it quiet.  Alex Marvex of FOXSports.com points out that linebacker DeMeco Ryans, a character witness of sorts whom the Texans trotted out after the ridiculously limited time to question Cushing ended, "didn't know anything about tumors."  Marvez also reports that the team's position regarding Cushing's tumor claim was to say "no comment," which fairly can be interpreted as a concession that "it's not a tumor."

We're told that other friends of Cushing's knew nothing about a tumor.  So, basically, Cushing was in fear for his life, and he shared nothing about his concerns to some of the folks he knew best.

Moreover, Cushing offered no medical evidence to support the reasonableness of his belief that he feared cancer.  The Associated Press sought out the input of Dr. Gary Wadler, who chairs the committe that the determines the banned substances for the World Anti-Doping Agency.  And Dr. Wadler summed the situation up perfectly.

"If he had a tumor that produced hCG, he wouldn't be playing football,"Wadler said.  "He would be under treatment for a malignant tumor."

Wadler also pointed out that, if Cushing had a tumor, he would have tested positive for hCG consistently.  Instead, Cushing only tested positive for hCG once.

"Malignant testicular tumors producing hCG are rather lethal," Dr. Wadlersaid.  "It is a fairly aggressive tumor and you're not playing in the NFL withone."

And that's the truest statement made today as to Cushing:  "You're not playing in the NFL with one."

In our view, there is no tumor, there was no tumor, and there was no fear of a tumor.  What we saw today was the predictable denial of a man who made his bed months if not years ago.

When witness testimony sharply conflicts in a trial, some wonder why people would choose to lie under oath.  The reality is that the decision to lie under oath was made long before the witness ever set foot in the courtroom.

In Cushing's case, the decision to publicly deny on Thursday ever using banned substances was made the moment he first used one.

[h3]Jets owner 'obsessed' with Super Bowl[/h3]
May, 14, 2010

By Tim Graham

To observe his 10 years of running the New York Jets, ESPNNewYork.com recently sat down with owner Woody Johnson at the team's headquarters in Florham Park, N.J.

As writer Rich Cimini points out in the first installment of a two-part Q&A, the Jets have been a symbol of mediocrity since Johnson bought them. They've gone 80-80, but Johnson feels they're on the verge of breaking out, saying "I think we're going to make it" to the Super Bowl this season and that he's "obsessed about" winning a championship.

Said Johnson:
"It's very refreshing to be able to tell your players and your fans what you want to do and not have to hide it. I like that. It's liberating. You can actually tell people where you want to take them, where they want to go. Do you want to jump aboard a team that comes in 15th? That's not what we're shooting for. That isn't why we're here."

Johnson addresses myriad topics pertaining to the Jets, from big-picture objectives to his closer role in individual player personnel moves.
 
http://[h3]Revis' expected ransom[/h3]
9:07AM ET

[h5]Darrelle Revis[/h5]


Update: Sure, Darrelle Revis probably deserves more than $1 million per season; most observers of the NFL would agree to that statement. But how much will the New York Jets have to pay? According to Michael Lombardi of National Football Post, Revis' agent Neil Schwartz is seeking an average over the course of the deal that will peg Revis' per-year salary over the $20 million mark. All of a sudden, that contract that Al Davis gave Nnamdi Asomugha looks like a bargain!

Last week, the word got out, courtesy of Manish Mehta of the Newark Star-Ledger, that the Jets could soon be making a play to own Revis Island for the long term. Generally considered one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL -- if not one of the best overall players on defense -- Revis is scheduled to make only $1 million in 2010. But, he hopes to get something done prior to the season's onset. "That's what they're saying -- hopefully something will get done before the season starts." But, he's not going to hold out, either. "I knew my contract since I've been a rookie. I knew I was playing for a million dollars this year."

The Jets are getting a remarkable bargain on Revis at the one million dollar level. In 2009, seven NFL CBs made $9 million or more in total salary.

Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com brings up an interesting point on the way Revis' contract was structured: "Revis is an unusual situation because of the type of contract he signed as a rookie in 2007. It was a six-year deal, but he reached playing-time incentives in the first year and it voided to a four-year, $16 million contract. He already has made $15 million, an above-market salary for the 14th overall pick. But now it drops to $1 million, a seemingly ridiculous salary for a player who finished second in the NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting."

DO IT TANNENBUM!!!
 
^ Wow. Thats a helluva jump for Revis and probably more importantly the team.

Can't they go bankrupt? Has a team ever went bankrupt?
 
How are the Jets going to fit under the salary cap with all these giant contracts? Do they seem like they're handcuffing themselves for the future to anyone else?
