Wonder if the offers have come down. Trading for Finley makes it sound like they're finally ready to move or that they're betting on suspension. Not saying Finley is good but it's an odd move to make for a guy who was just about to hit FA.

If our bedrock assumption is that the Texans are staggeringly incompetent on all fronts, the Occam's Razor answer is that they didn't know anything about what Watson was typically up to and are just as blindsided by this as everyone else.

I agree with the Occam's razor assessment but I don't know that the Texans are completely incompetent in all areas. They are incompetent in almost all matters relating to running the football team.

But it's not hard to believe Easterby, a man who is compared to a GOT character by Texans players, would keep a close eye on those he perceived to be a threat to his power or a potential liability.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"


I get that this is the agent so he’s obviously going to support his client, but I hate this sort of take. The number of false accusations is vanishingly rare, especially if you take into account the number of actual cases of assault that go unreported. Saying “this happens, but also this happens too and we just have to see” draws a false equivalency that’s meant to lessen the impact of all claims.

Obviously it’s important to give Watson his due process and I’m not going to try to convict him in the court of public opinion, but speculating that someone is trying to run a grift with the info we have is deeply irresponsible.

The city also has serious periodic flooding and this year they had literal fatalities because of a snowstorm, significant long-term power failures, and the folks who did have power were charged exorbitant rates.

Huh, good on that guy I guess? Or is he saying that she was referred to watson by his coach? Is that Tim Kelly?

e: actually watched the video, I guess it was Quincy Avery, referring the masseuse to watson

Even if 100% of these women can prove nothing more than the fact that they had an appointment with Watson for massage, going to be hard to explain how you have 22 different masseuses that you use within the course of one year.

what the poo poo, there's no way there's only TWENTY TWO at this point :stare:

I refuse to believe the Texans didn't know about this. How long were they covering for him? Was this why a bunch of folks got purged by Easterby? Did they try to blackmail Watson during contract negotiations?
