none of the stuff about Easterby and the Texans is particularly surprising, but this os:

League executives with other teams said the Texans shopped Hopkins for months — and his demand for a top-of-the-market extension limited his trade value

giving the best receiver a contract that reflects his skills limited his trade value? really? GMs are stupid

I don't see how the league hasn't poo poo a brick over that given they're at least trying to look like they care about minority hires.

I don't know if I agree with this. The new CBA made holding out pretty much impossible without fiscally shooting yourself in the foot.

top QBs (especially ones that got their big signing bonus already) don’t really have to worry about a few hundred grand in fines the way everyone else does

I might be wrong but I thought in the event someone holds out on a contract under the modern CBA the team can go after their signing bonus.


I'd love to be wrong in that front it's loving Byzantine.

afaik they can only go after a pro-rated amount of it based on how many actual games you hold out

IANAL, but I thought it turned out that NDAs aren't actually that enforceable, but your average person is unaware of that

if they broke the NDAs now it'd be almost impossible for Watson and his lawyers to prove that the damages he sustained from their testimony amounted to anything significant given the other 22 accusations

Also maybe I’m reading into this the wrong way because obviously a lawyer needs to protect their clients but a strategy of keeping all the women anonymous in the background so that all eyes and attention is on this lawyer makes me question his motives. And in the court of public opinion I think it’s a losing strategy.

it lets him control the narrative for a crucial period of time. if Watson’s legal team had the names the mud would already be flying, especially given how at first the media was affording Watson a ton of rope

The commissioner's exempt list is right there as a nice convenient Sword of Damocles if no criminal charges come up, but IMO it would require enough of a rabble from sponsors threatening to pull advertising money out before Watson is suspended.

I thought the exempt list could only be used if there were criminal charges

there are people on twitter in the replies trying to defend having 40 masseuses over a 2 year period as just something rich people do, which is insane to me. it's like saying rich people have 24 different primary care doctors. if you find one that works why would you be constantly searching for new ones?


e: I guess I could see having a sport masseuse, a Swedish masseuse, uh, idk another kind. reiki? maybe like 2-3 who each do a specific kind

I would 100% do this if I were rich and so would nearly everyone I know who regularly sees a massage therapist. I'd see a favorite regular therapist 1 or 2 times a week and every morning that I wasn't seeing them, I'd be going to someone else. Everyone does things slightly differently and I'd be building up a large stable of people to see. It's the only part of this that isn't damning to Watson.

you seem quite insane but maybe it's more common than I thought

also it is still damning to Watson because he was seeking out people who aren't even masseuses

Chris James 2 posted:

I think he will be and should be put on the list, but I didn't/don't expect anything regarding that was ever going to happen as early as pre-draft

It was part of why I was so surprised when he started losing endorsement deals, usually that occurs when it looks like the year's about to start and the player's about to play and they don't want their ads with him airing

afaik he's only lost one deal so far
