Brian Cushing torn ACL .. out for season

[Ktexan68]

Kuch and Kalu just said they heard (and i'm guessing their sources are good) that it's MCL and ACL = total knee reconstruction.

I think that happens if there is a post deleted at some point in the thread. IIRC if there are 20 posts and one post is deleted it displays 2 pages but only displays the first page and kills the second page.

Dude was walking on a totally wrecked knee? Gawdalmighty!

Wow.

[Hervoyel]

Start taking up a collection for the hit on Slausen I guess....

Son of a *****!!!

This means he won't be worth a sh!t next season.

Cloak has already said we will have to wait for the OFFICIAL report from the MRI!

Everybody's anxious, scared, and pissed off! BUT, I wanna hear it from the horses mouth as to just how bad the injury really is.

I wonder if the iron sheik thinks slausen is the real...

We can look into what "sources" say all we want, but in reality the doctors don't even know yet. Like some have said, just have to wait for the MRI and hope/pray for the best.

He's the jabroni like the Hulk Hogan no good piece of sh*t

FYI, ESPN says:

The Texans fear the injury is a torn ACL, but they will not know for sure until his MRI Tuesday, said a source familiar with the situation.

Probably just all speculation at this point and someone wanting to claim they can tell what the injury is before it's announced. I'll wait until after the MRI before I panic.

I am with Dutch on this one. Keep the positive energy going.

I am game. It's probably just a mild strain and the Texans are making it sound worse to throw off the Packers. I fully expect him to start next Sunday.

EVen if its an ACL tear, I heard that Cushing had two extra ACLs added during the offseason so that in case one tore, he'd have backup. He should be at practice later this week

A joke I may only get, but is Cushing a Krogan?

What really pisses me off about this is the fact that there's no discussion of punishment for the bastard that did this. He clearly went after Cushing's knee. He got washed out of the play, got up from the ground, and went after the back of Cushing's leg. He didn't trip or stumble, and wasn't blocked into it. I think some of you saying it wasn't intentional are off your rocker. Or maybe you're confusing premeditation with intention.

If a defensive player hits an offensive player in the head, no matter what the circumstance, he's fined. He can be actively trying to avoid hitting a player in the head, but if the offensive guy ducks into it, the defenseman is fined. Here we have a guy that clearly went after Cushing, should have been flagged, and probably isn't going to be fined. It's a BS double standard. Going after a man's knee is every bit as debilitating as headhunting, perhaps even moreso.

I want a suspension equal to the number of games Cushing misses.

I know that won't happen, but he needs a suspension, a fine doesn't cut it.
