Romo was quite the competitor and an intense battler on the field and, before he became tainted, a player you would want to compare to. I think Bush was focused on the good and not wanting to dwell on the bad. If he had it to do again, I'm sure he would have chosen a different player to convey the same meaning.
Cushing has had a lot of rumors but nothing substantiated concerning steroid usage. What a crappy way to say "welcome aboard" we are glad to have you than to have your new DC calling you the next Bill Romanowski? Somebody in the PR department shouldn't have posted that part of the interview on the official team site. Right now, they should be saying that he's the next Dave Wilcox.

Yes and No.
You can blame Bush for dropping that reference to Romanowski but I can't blame McClain, which is a natural follow-up from any fan and you'd certainly expect any guy that's supposed to be covering the team to ask that question. If any other "sports writers" were in the conference they must have been fast asleep if they ask. Bush was just kinda slow on the draw if he thought he could mention the refence and not expect the follo-up.
BTW, I knew exactly who he was talking about before he said the name and I'm sure you did to - bad-azz Polack LB, Broncos only had one of those.
