Lmfao forever if this was Easterbys end goal. I’m not saying the allegations are lies, I’m saying Easterby tipped off the lawyer about what happened to start a process to banish Watson from the team without losing any money.

A hosed up thing to think about is what if the Texans knew about Watson's proclivities (if true) and were covering this poo poo up right up until the point where Watson demanded a trade.

My conspiracy theory since everyone is asking for it is the Texans knew or had at least some idea that there was some dark poo poo in Watson's past as all the incidents are alleged to occur in 2020.

The Texans either were going to cover it up completely or wait until the trade was finalized to take their revenge. They always intended to trade him but wanted to give it time to drive up the price on desperate teams

Somehow Buzbe (who I don't believe has anything to do with Texans/McNairs) got wind of it in the meantime and filed suit at literally the worst time for the Texans. The timing of the suit (slightly after when the Texans said they were open to the trade) is a disaster for them. They are petty enough to leak poo poo after the trade but not before.

Thanks for reading.

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.

This also doesn't make Buzbee any less scummy because presumably he wouldn't have gone public at all if Deshaun had paid up and no one would know anything

That's what Watson or his attorney said.
I can't find where Buzbe said he offered a settlement so he actually may have been legit trying to be a voice for these women. We don't know.

What we do know tragically is that Watson is a monster.

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.

Imagine if this had come out next week and Carolina had just pulled the trigger yesterday or the day before.

I mean if that trade had gone off and this came out after that...

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.

By ignoring the poo poo they are being equivicating cowards picking favorites based on who they like or dislike which has long been why alot of Sports Journalism sucks.

The media doesn't even have to bother investigate this poo poo they have to be able read the complaints and maybe add 1+1 together to figure out holy poo poo there is a pattern here.
It's almost like this is obvious predatory behavior that is described/alleged in explicit detail.

Florio is being a dumb poo poo as usual. I'll be a bit contrary and say that I think Buzbee has actually done a great job here. He's kept the attention and spectacle firmly focused on him, which means he's getting a lot of the flak that would otherwise be directed at Deshaun's victims.

I think your right.
In someways Buzbe being loud and obnoxious is a feature not a bug.

I think the women that hired him are actually really smart because people will see the lawsuit filed by this crazy Trumptard who parks a tank in his front yard and expect it to be bs right up until the point they read the first complaint.

Buzbe's reputation and outrageous behavior is like a lure for people to read the complaints.

The complaints are what is devastating and perception altering and powerful.

I guess we will see when all of the details come out but this seems like something you wouldn’t find if you weren’t specifically looking for it. I can’t really blame a journalist for not going around asking everyone they could find if Deshaun Watson is a sexual predator as part of their coverage of his support of BLM. That would raise a lot of red flags.

I'd say yeah in general, but it's a really weird disconnect or perhaps neglect that like you have the numbers of women that you do in this case, and then nothing but fawning articles in sports journalism about the guy.

And then being pretty silent about the accusations until they got so bad they had to cover them.

I mean this dead forum had way more info and analysis for weeks than what was even being reported as out there.

Ok Devil's Advocate but why wouldn't journalists worth a poo poo have sources/people to tip them off?

With 20+ women was Watson's apparatus that well set up that nothing leaked when this was happening pretty regularly?
