Breaking News: Brian Cushing is a Cyborg!

by Rip Jersey on Apr 9, 2010 10:29 AM CDT

I'm sure all of you have been glued to your computer screen waiting for an update, anything Brian Cushing! Anything Brian Cushing submitting opponents in the cage! Anything Brian Cushing shrugging off the nagging injuries that kept him out of the Pro Bowl game that he was selected to be a starter in! Anything Brian Cushing!

Well, everyone's favorite Comicle-writer John McClain, affectionately known as Pancakes, has submitted his report and everything that you have hoped for "Anything Brian Cushing" is there.

While Cushing has been summering, he hasn't exactly been on vacation and lounging at the beach. He has been taking classes at USC in an attempt to complete his degree requirements. But if you want stories of elbows getting dislocated, hand fighting, and chopping, then you need to read that story.

Here's a quote from Cushing's MMA instructor to whet your appetite:

"Brian's gotten so good at this that I have to put on pads when I go against him because when he delivers the blows, it hurts. The power he hits with is incredible."

I like surprises too and at the end of the article is a surprise that is sure to get you all going, so I won't give it away because I know this is a team sport and it isn't all about Brian Cushing. I'll let Pancakes tell the story.

I want to see Cushing recruit the entire Texans defense into the training

then “Bonecrusher” Pollard can come back and you know actually CRUSH BONES.

I thought you were going to use the cyborg quote when I read the title

but I guess I can!! Read the article earlier in the Chron and now all I want to see is Cush hit some peeps.

My favorite part of the article: “Usually, NFL players come to us in March, but Brian started the week after the Super Bowl. That shows the kind of player and person he is, the kind of determination he has. He’s a cyborg.” – Jay Glazer

Sorry, I was trying to restrain myself

I thought Pancakes wrote a good story. He’s the one that got the quotes. I just wanted to bring it to everyone because we really have ourselves a unique and talented player in Cush. Now, if Demeco can follow through and maybe get some other guys there, well, it would be awesome. Hope they don’t kill each other….

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

I love this article!

This is the kind of physicality that makes a tough defense! Keep it up, Cushing! But for our sake, easy with the head clashing thing you always do, that can’t be good for your brain.

I'm loving it....

Cushing is gettin El Capitan Meco to take some MMA workout and Glazer wants Mario… how much you wanna bet Cushing calls up Super Mario and says hey don’t be such a pussy get your ass out here.. Then Mario goes out there and breaks a few legs, not Meco or Cush, that would be bad juju

Go Texans!

I dare say...

That is a well-written article. I know, I know, my eyes bugged out, too. Not the mention the ending quotes. It was edgy, but very satiating to those of us longing for some bit of Texans news besides kickers and contracts.

Seriously, this season cannot arrive soon enough, and we haven’t even had the draft yet to carry us for a couple of months.

Oh, and if Demeco makes it, and Mario, and they nab Polly, you better know Barwin is going to be there. He also has one hell of a workout regimen.

I love Cushing's work ethic.

First the guy plays half the season with naggin injuries, then as soon as the super bowl is over he gives glazer a call and says imma come out and whoop some ass this offseason… He probably waited till the final seconds of the game reserved his flight and called mid flight. This is why i have faith in the Texans and love them, 90% of the guys on the team strive to make themselves better and work there asses off.

Go Texans!
