It should be stated apparently the copy she produced was completely blank. Which is weird.

I’m not sure what the point of doing that is

When the Texans organization inevitably gets past the crisis, you know that Easterby will unjustifiably receive the credit.

His lawyer is going to drag each woman through the mud. Every one is going to be painted as if they are doing this just to chase a paycheck, and that any interactions with Watson were discussed before and after and parties at the time agreed they were all consensual.

It's going to be some of the worst victim blaming poo poo we've ever seen, and it tragically might work depending on what evidence Watson has to support his argument.

The NFL or the team disciplines Watson and the Texans play out their games without him to some dismal record while making money. In a couple of years, sportswriters will talk about Easterby’s leadership in holding the team together even if they never put together a winning season and Easterby will give some talks about God testing him.

Please to be restful, it is only a puffin that has from the puffin place outbroken.
From McNair's perspective, this should firmly cement Easterby in power, because just looks what happens when someone like Watson resists Easterby's culture.

Luckily for me, these lawsuits placed me in a position where I'm now not interested in following the Texans whether they trade Watson, or whether they keep him. So go Arizona!

The winning combination of Houston did not trade Watson for a massive haul of draft picks, no first or second round pick in the 2021 draft so they could not trade for anything if they wanted to, and he is not going to be playing for them either. Predicting a 1-2 win season.

Edited to remove "We" since I am not even a Houston fan, though they were my AFC team when Schaub was throwing for like 5000 yards a year for a few year stretch.

I wonder if you had traded him... if there would be some boilerplate clause that would let the other team claw back their trade picks over this mess.

Hard to see how Watson plays if he's intent on not playing another snap for Houston. That said, if the default "responsible" neutral media take continues to be "we have to let Watson and these women see their dates in court before offering judgement", I think he'd have been back on the field in September if not for his extant in limbo status.

There's literally no defense in my mind. These aren't sex workers. I think sex work should be ok but these are massage therapists trying to get a career started.

I’d imagine there might have been some recourse or something to void the trade or part of it.

It depends on how much the Texans knew and when they knew it, which could or may still be a major :can: depending on how things develop.

Like, given that Watson was still doing stuff a month ago, if they’d known about it prior to that and continued to let it happen... Uh, yeah. :stare:

Said what I was thinking much better than I could have.

If you're looking to coax sex work from non-sex workers (and using your stature to pressure them to boot), you're a loving scumbag.

A lot of his successes were under a federal judge in Galveston who assaulted his female employees and was ultimately removed from his lifetime appointment. Buzbee clerked for this judge and would go out for boozy lunches with him during breaks from trials he was part of in his courtroom.

Has nothing to do with this case so please don't take it that way. Watson being revealed to be such a massive sex pest has been wild from what his image previously was.
