I'm curious about how your brain gets so messed up you refuse to refer to your quarterback by pronouns. It's always 'the player' this and the player that. You can refer to Deshaun as 'he' once you've established who you're talking about, he's probably fine with that and will let you know if he isn't. Or Mr. Watson if you want to be formal or something.

Intruder posted:BOB kicked a FG on 4th and 1 deep in KC territory then tried a fake punt from 4th and like 7 from deep within his own territory on the next possession 4th and 4 I want to say? And it took a pretty good play by a not very good player to stop it since he was the only guy who recognized it. The fake punt was a good idea that didn't work out, the field goal was not. Combining the two is where it makes no sense.

SKULL.GIF posted:Who was that player about a decade back on the Eagles who literally only ran in a straight line at the passer and racked up crazy amounts of sacks but was otherwise worthless on defense? It was back before Reid left the Eagles, when he was promoting nobodies to DC. This was in the middle of the wide 9 boom I remember. Connor Barwin maybe? Jesus I haven't thought of that name in forever.

That seems about on par with this level of dysfunction It has always seemed much more likely Jimmy Haslam made that story up because he thought it would play well in the press instead of making him look like an idiot. I'm not sure if that's in opposition or favor of your overall point though.

Saying nothing about the actual merits of anything it seems like a good strategic move that Deshaun claimed he was asked for a six figure buyout from Buzbee before any of this broke? Like your average person's immediate reaction to the court minimum thing is probably 'well that's some backtracking to try to regain the moral high ground.' Which is either Deshaun telling the truth (quite possible because Buzbee) or he/his advisors being goddamned monsters who saw where things were going and could identify that he should make that move (also quite possible).

Hizawk posted:Is this the single greatest one season meltdown by a team in NFL History? It's really impressive. There have been worse teams than the Texans will be next year I'd imagine, but not worse teams that were up 24-0 on the eventual Super Bowl champs in the playoffs 2 years ago and seemingly had at least a path to an optimistic future. ... Suddenly worried that I was wrong I looked up the Houston Oilers and they went 2-14 two years after the Bills comeback. But they were mostly fine as in middling as hell after that one year, which doesn't seemlike it'll be the Texans fate right now.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Something I’ve never quite understood is why the NBA was against a trade that would have benefited their biggest team and biggest star which would have kept the Lakers a championship contender. Because they wanted the loving Clippers to be better? Because they didn't want the Hornets (at the time) to fold and thought they needed a star player I think? Obviously they let them make a trade later, but that was after a whole lot of 'um, what the hell are you doing?' in the press. I might be remembering this incorrectly.

His lawyer is doing all of that and he's not involved. That could be considered as a playful interaction with a bad word attached watching the video. It's a super dumb thing to do of course if he thought it was a good idea. I mean, he can go to hell I just don't think this will do anything but push people to whatever conclusions they've already drawn. Shimrra Jamaane posted:I know he has to be there to avoid being fined but can’t they keep him on some conditioning bike inside? They really should make up a nagging injury for him, which seems like a tool Nick Caserio should be familiar with. Or maybe they tried and DeShaun was like 'no I'd rather go play safety on the scout team.'

I could imagine a scenario where the FBI is checking out Buzbee because he's trash. I cannot imagine a situation where you convince this many people to falsely accuse a famous person of sexual assault knowing exactly what that's going to mean for your life.

Android Apocalypse posted:I really do think it's the Texans asking Goodell to not put Watson on the exempt list, so that they can showcase him at practices to other teams in hopes of a trade. I admittedly haven't been following the Texans camp at all but I do remember that report about him playing safety on the scout team. My impression was they were just embarrassing him in order to embarrass him mostly, but maybe not. I'm sure they don't want him on the exempt list or they'd just suspend him on their own, but I'm also not sure they're really doing their best to up his trade value if that makes sense.

Shinjobi posted:Didn't zeke get suspended without any charges, for an incident in the past? It was 100% the police refusing to do anything to him back then, too. I had forgotten how ridiculously drawn out this was. quote:On August 11, 2017, the NFL suspended Elliott for the first six games of the 2017 season for violating the personal conduct policy. His suspension stemmed from accusations of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend on five occasions in 2016. NFL officials conducted a year-long investigation into the allegations, and though Elliott was never criminally charged, decided to suspend him...Although the suspension was upheld on September 6 by a league-appointed arbitrator, on September 8, a federal judge granted a request for injunction by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), putting the suspension on hold indefinitely. Then he went to hang out in Mexico for a while, I think he might have been injured at the time and that's why he stopped fighting and figured it was a good time to serve the suspension? There was also the St Patrick's day thing where he dragged a woman's shirt down that went into this whole ordeal but he claims she was cool with it. I mean in the end there were no criminal charges so you're right about that part. The part with his ex is he barely bothered to deny and tried to justify on a 'she's crazy' thing if I remember right.
