quote:Last November, the Texans boarded their team charter for a 10-hour trip home after a game against the Jaguars in London. Mid-flight, several players gathered around a table in the galley area, playing cards and sharing laughs after their sixth win of the season. Nearby, Easterby knelt in an aisle, speaking in a low voice to McNair. The volume of the card game grew, and Easterby took his stand. He rose and made a move toward the galley, shushing the players, demanding quiet—imploring them that Mr. McNair needs his sleep. Then he returned to his post, by the owner’s side, the one voice in his ear. Found a photo of this event

With Caserio and Dungy in the same room the level of cult eyes energy could power most of Texas. No idea what easterby looks like and now I'm a bit hesitant to gaze upon that visage.

dirty shrimp money posted:It kinda does. The Texans have been a below average franchise devoid of any character for its entire life. At least now it gets to be known for a unique dysfunction usually seen less in pro sports and more in European history textbooks. My friend let me tell you a story about a coach that went 1-31 and kept his job.

nikosoft posted:To be fair, Bieniemy has some serious character flags in his past conduct. But not even bothering to interview Saleh, who would at least bring one of Shanahan's guys with him to run the offense, is criminal. Is it really character concerns when he's been clean for 20 years? Like the PR fallout would be real but he seems to have his poo poo together and be way more legit than the rocket scientist. Eric faced consequences for his poo poo to unlike beardo. Seems like a way easier situation to handle from a PR prospective

fsif posted:The subtext in the coverage of the accusations seems to be that the accusations don't have much credibility because the representation is so suspect. Is there a way an unscrupulous lawyer like Buzbee could plausibly generate accusations from whole cloth without suffering at least some kind of major professional setback? Well as of right now Trumps lawyers still have their law licenses after all their election horseshit. Still entirely within the realm of possibility that these women were harassed and went in with this instagram lawyer but after 2020 I can't discount the dumb thing.

Hooo buddy yeah that's yeah. I understand anonymity and all and I'd like to know there's actual accusers but I'm certainly leaning "get hosed Deshaun" 2020 was wild but making GBS threads ones self would be one helluva flourish for a whole cloth trump election make em up.

Rich people being unqualified and vindictive to what should be their own detriment is down right presidential. The world is so dumb that it's plausible.

It's a matter of time till it happens (or was). Just sitting on him and hoping he breaks isn't a great plan when you'll get the most return before the season especially before the draft.

Chris James 2 posted:mcmagic and three other trolls rush in: “but the lawyer’s bad! (please ignore all other lawyers who are all also bad, including Deshaun’s lawyer who argued Adrian Peterson didn’t abuse his kid when beating the utter poo poo out of him)” He's literally faked texts before just to smear a political opponent and releases everything on Instagram. What about this man screams credibility? There's being a sleazy lawyer then there's the kind of guy you expect to represent trump in an election case. Should we automatically trust him because he's showing evidence he's literally faked before? This isn't even trolling how do you trust this guy immediately?

Intruder posted:Did he pay 13 women to open themselves up to harassment and potential litigation? I doubt it This guy seems just bizarrely sleazy enough to go through this without actual people to make the accusation. All the filings are under various Jane Doe's so did anyone actually open themselves up other than this weird guy? Here's me not knowing legal procedure but at what point does he have to prove to the court (yes anonymity is important in sexual assault and harassment cases especially high profile ones) that there are women behind these complaints? Did he have to provide that to the court in a hidden part of the filings? Somethings extremely fucky and I don't know how this ends up. After the poo poo show that got 50 something days in court because of a failed steak salesmans tantrum the most bizarre things still seem possible as all hell.
