McNair to NFL: Overturn Cushing suspension

[Nconroe]

Well, I was hoping they had some really convincing medical evidence. Too bad. Not much else to say.

It seems we have some young LB who should do ok during the interim, atleast I hope so.

It was a longshot. I hope this doesn't stick to McNair for a long time.

If, as Cushing affirms, the rebuttal to the commish's decision took months to formulate, then the decision to NOT overturn or reduce, sure came back in a hurry. Doesn't seem like due deliberation was given.

They just went through the motions. There was never any intent to over turn or even reduce it. That would open a can of worms that Goodell doesn't want to deal with.

That is entirely correct. The thing is, what happens when Cushing "overexercises" again and the HCG pops up again?
