If you're complaining about McClain not being a Texans' "team guy" or not taking the high road, apparently you forgot who's paying his bills ?
Ok here's some news RP, it's not the Houston Texans its the Houston Chronicle and the Chron is having some real tough times economically speaking these days and McClain may be feeling a little insecure job wise.
So I'm not a bit surprised he wouldn't swing at that big fat softball the DC offered up to him because he especially wants to maximize the readership of his columns these days, both in print and electronically. And comparisons between our rookie LB and the controversial former former Bronco LB is the kind of provokative story that sells papers.
On the other hand I think Bush was actually paying Cushing a compliment, though he obviously forgot temporarily that cuts both ways: live and learn.
