Brian Cushing's wife gets upset with Houston talk show host

Published Oct. 4, 2015 9:23 p.m. ET

Megan Cushing, the wife of Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, wasn’t about to let a Houston sports talk radio host criticize her husband’s teammates without at least some objection.

Our friend Nick Wright, who hosts locally for 610 Sports in Houston and CBS Sports Radio nationally on the weekends, was critical of Texans tight end Garrett Graham while watching the team get destroyed by the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. He posted a perfectly fair opinion/criticism, but Cushing did not appreciate it and told him so: 

Wright then followed up with a legitimate question, asking Cushing what a respectful way is to criticize a player. Cushing didn’t respond right away, but things got semi-awkward when Graham’s wife Ericka stepped in and encouraged everyone to share a group hug with a since-deleted reply.

Cushing later answered Wright's question, tweeting back: "as a "talk show host" you can criticize them with some respect."

The exchange just goes to show that it is easy to criticize when there are no consequences, but it’s an entirely different thing when you know people are listening or following what you say. Oh, and Mrs. Cushing probably should stay above the fray even though watching the Texans get crushed is frustrating.
