HOUSTON – As the results of the re vote for Texans DB Brian Cushing was announced yesterday, there was no doubt there were still mixed feelings on the issue of him retaining the award. Cushing has been known for his defensive prowess this past season as a rookie, amassing over 100 tackles. Initially, Cushing won the vote in a landslide with Redskins DE Brian Orakpo coming in second. After the re vote, Orakpo had 13 while Cushing had 18.
“It was a lot closer but still didn’t turn out how we expected” commented a source from the Associated Press. Several media pundits were clearly upset at the outcome as well. John Clayton, of ESPN was one of the most notables. It was clear he voted against having Cushing keep the award and was so vehement about the results that he was rumored to inject some HGH substances into his head. He declined being rushed to a medical facility later on however, as he confessed that it gives him an edge over his colleagues on dishing out creative articles.

AP declined to comment on the results but quickly issued a statement that they will re name the award to Defensive Roider of the Year. They said the reasoning behind it was to keep the acronym the same and at the same time stay true to the nature of the award as the voters saw fit.
