  • If they did the typical athlete exceptionalism ho um when it was like 20 people coming forward why would one more matter? Because he played a bad game?

    I think there is possible physical assault attached to this one?

    Ahh yeah that might make a difference… But I don’t know sometimes I think the weird jock brain could let the right athlete get off a genocide conviction with a month suspension and a fine for poor conduct.

    When Kareem Hunt got suspended after the video came out of his physical altercation in a Cleveland hotel lobby, and Kansas City cut him, did the contract become null and void, thus KC didn't have any salary hit because of it?

  • Just get rid of him already. And take Jimmy and Dee with him

  • Wait a bit for actual facts to come out on this. Florio is a gossip columnist with a NFL football website.

    He calls himself an "instigator."

    Not saying this story has no facts to it, but Florio is the last person I would get info from about ANYTHING. Mike Florio is the most non credible human on the planet.

    I don’t know how to navigate all this other than to close my eyes real tight and think of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. “Look for the helpers” says Mr.Rodgers. But it sure would be easier if all the criminals got out of their way. 

  • was this something already disclosed to the league office ?  we do not know. better wait and see

    I will say it is interesting that it surfaces now all of a sudden... Even though I think Defraud is a dip shit... It could be likely he's being set up... Just a hunch on either end...

    Exactly.

    Florio has never ever written or spoke anything bad about the Houston Texans' blatant enabling of DW to commit these "massage crimes." 

    Watson certainly was his own worst enemy, but remember the Texans set up his hotel rooms. How they got to keep those 3 #1 picks remains a complete mystery to me ( I'm not saying the Browns should have them back).

    Regarding the "new allegations," I suspect a cash grab. 

    This whole NFL "discipline" thing is a complete sham. Racheed Rice still playing, no reprimand for wreckless driving, almost killing people, and Josh Gordon was suspended nearly 3 seasons for smoking weed. Makes no sense.

  • Come on guys - this is just a classic “she said she said she said she said x 21 more she said vs he said!”. The best thing that could happen is this somehow leads to the exempt list. Also, relevant Chappelle:

    Right?!  I mean, where's this woman been?  Did he just unchain her from the bedpost or something?   I don't like the person that Watson is either but Geesh...

  • Rumor has it that Houston ownership/management initiated the first volley of accusations as a negotiation ploy aimed at making him undesirable to other suitors and it got out of hand.  Could the Browns be playing one of the last cards in that deck? He had to have known about this prior to 4:25 yesterday.

  • This allegation is very fucked up even if it’s partially true.

    Void his contract and donate the remainder to women’s shelters in the Cleveland and Houston area, without the cap hit.

    Ditch DeFraud already... I'm sick of this on going saga...

    This encounter sounds more like Flugel and Dutch, especially when it mentioned vagina!

    Seriously, if you substitute the word Flugel for Doe, and Dutch for Watson, this story sounds a lot more. believable.

    We're both living rent-free in that head of yours, aren't we Ghoolie Always Ike Turner? ?

    Ooh, let's get more of those so terribly interesting "Shitpanski is a coffee fetcher" posts out of you! Sooner than later, you'll be shitting yourself in a nursing home and all your "Shitpanski" posts on here will become deliciously ironic, Ghoolie Always Chris Brown...

    I've always thought the whole timing of the allegations was very, very interesting regarding the Texans. And this coming out right after a horrible opener is, well, what conspiracy theories are made of.

    It happened allegedly in Oct 2020, so would the league apply stuff for one that far back that seems bent on destroying a career? And where was this person when the others from that time got settled?

  • I would love to get rid of Watson, but....unless there's some sort of proof of this assault I don't see anything happening. I despise the stupid trade. Likely the worst trade in the history of all sports, and I've never liked Watson or considered him to be an elite qb. But....if this is a fabricated accusation, whoever initiated it, should be put away. Anybody can accuse anybody else of anything with no proof.
