Brian Cushing: NFL defensive rookie of the year?

Hello friends,

Plating up some NFL news for you to talk about:
> Brian Cushing, a rookie linebacker for the Houston Texans, won the NFL defensive rookie of the year. But last week, he was suspended for 4 games in the upcoming season because he tested positive for HCG. It's a fertility drug that's on the NFL's banned substance list.

> So, after the suspension, a re-vote for the award was held. Guess what? Cushing won. Again. He won by a smaller margin but he won.

> Here's what you can discuss: does Cushing deserve the award? Should he still be suspended? Is it fair to have a player win an award yet test positive for a banned substance? Why does the NFL allow this? If you were a player, coach or member of the media, how would you vote?

Talk it up.
