The only unusual thing about the Pitino prostitute scandal at Louisville is that Louisville used professional sex workers for this purpose rather than just peer-pressured sorority girls like most major sports colleges

Look, if there's one thing we know about flashy private lawyers it's that they will absolutely do things to get their name and face out in public first before actually doing the thing they should do.

Do I believe that more athletes than we want to think about have done similar things like this to message therapists? Yep. Do I believe that they’ve engaged in a weekly practice of preying on them all across the country to the tune of at least 22 in one year? No.

The cynical part of me is waiting for someone to come out with the "Watson did this because CTE started to kick in a year ago" take to excuse what he did.

Prostitute? Hell he sent them to a private island for a (all-male) VIP season ticket holder shindig and took their passports.

The fact that Roger Goodell wasn't able to use that alone as a reason to suspend Snyder forever is permanent proof that he's a spineless weasel.

We know they the first assailant had two other players contact her, saying “big D” referred them.

Hopefully he was just trying to repair the damage he’d done and keep her quiet and not, you know, send will fuller and tunsil to harass her too.

Apart from the shady electoral tactics, is there any concrete evidence of Buzbee being shady or dishonest as a lawyer? Has he been found guilty of any malpractice (not a lawyer or American, so pls don’t get hung up on terminology)? I tried looking the guy up and he certainly seems very bombastic and Texan, but didn’t really find much to suggest that he would be a crook.

He got off scot free on a DWI charge and then donated to the DA's campaign fund so that's one thing I guess

e: I know you said 'as a lawyer' but I'm presuming that without some kind of prior professional relationship that one would be a lot harder to pull off

If this is true than that means that the coach who was hired by Penn State to clean up their program then went on to do this. Welp

I think even Easterby is astute enough to know that it's not a great idea to make your QB poisonous to the point you have to get rid of him while also killing any potential trade value he may have had when he was the most valuable trade asset in the league (since anyone more valuable is not in any way available for trade)

They only just started making the push to trade him today. You leak this after you trade him or you don't try to trade him at all then leak it as a "you play for us or we ruin you"

It would be some downright presidential decision making to do it this way.

You can also make the argument that's why the Texans didn't trade him either. If they straight up knew about or were at least somewhat aware of Deshaun's proclivities, realized that if they traded him the owner & GM of whatever team he wound up on would flip their poo poo when all this came out, raise a huge stink about it to Goodell and the other owners and ultimately end up with Cal being forced to sell and Easterby losing his cushy gig.

Pretty sure “massage therapists” have other sites that they advertise their services on where there is no confusion between either party on what’s up.

Can anyone else believe how hosed up this got in the span of just days?

I mean....Jesus it feels like a week ago Watson was potentially going to be in like one of the biggest trades in NFL history at like 25 years old.

It's a stunning fall.
The media just doesn't get how big this is.
I think the people here get it though...

I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel genuinely bad for the Texans fans like this has got to be loving you guys up right now.

Carolina would go after Houston like a bunch of real-life panthers and I think the league would have to get involved.

In some ways its a blessing for the league that Houston didn't trade him.
