Cushing to "take action" against website for erronious report

Good for him!

Click through this link to get to PFT for their whole write-up which I refuse to link to.

In a Thursday interview with ESPN 1530 in Austin, Texans linebacker Brian Cushing said that he’ll “take action toward” NFLDraftBible.com for its erroneous report that Cushing tested positive at the Scouting Combine for steroids.

That action could include a letter from a lawyer demanding a settlement, and it could include a lawsuit.

Cushing explained that, with the draft over, the next step will be to address the April 2 report from NFLDraftBible.com.

“I’m pretty tired of everything happening with all these supposed rumors [and] people trying to tarnish my reputation,” Cushing said.  “I’m not sure what happened.  I don’t know if it’s my playing attitude [or] people just don’t like how I handle myself.  But you know that’s too bad for them.”

I think you will see this happen more and more...players will take an aggressive stand against these types of false reports and with the resourses they have they have money to burn.

This is why I will never be the first one to report a story...let the big boys get egg on their face first if they are wrong.

haha

I think the disclaimer about fanposts being the opinion of the writer would cover blogs in this sort of situation. I can’t find the link but it was posted in the thread that the steroid story had been a lie.

yah that would be a hoot

Glad to see this person standing up for himself, if others take this approach than maybe this stuff will stop.

It might have cost him draft position.

He could argue that it cost him money. Depending on the intent of the publisher, its going to be hard to get anything but an apology and a retraction unless its just flat out terrible reporting on a rumor.

The best way Cush can get back

Is by proving his worth on the pro field and representing his himself on and off the field in a way that proves his quality, intellect, and passion is the for sure real deal. In this way he represents all of what it means to be a Trojan and a learned student of Coach Carroll’s “Win Forever” philosophy.

That’ll be better than litigation. Maybe not for his pocketbook, but for the very essence of his well-being. I hope he KICKS EVERYBODY’S ASS in this regard.
