    Buzbee seems to be saying a lot.

    What are you asking?

    Did he not say this in the press conference?

    "All cases filed, vetted, allege same or similar conduct
    3 are undergoing intensive therapy
    At least one was referred to Deshaun by the Texans organization
    QB coach Quincy Avery referred Deshaun to one of my clients

    Misconduct happened as recently as this month"

    If Toney Buzbee is really going after the money, it will be dumb to just keep accepting more cases and cases but at the same time, keep saying he still have not contacted the Texans at all.

    That should give you a hint who is actually funding this.

    For the billionth time in this thread, Avery is not an employee of the Texans.

    You know that's why he is the lawyer because they can lie while you will still believe it.

    Even if that conspiracy theory is true, and there's no evidence of it or rational reason for it to be true, does it matter?

    Watson being outed as a sexual predator for some personal reason wouldn't excuse his behavior

    For the billionth time nobody is saying he is his.

    I am just saying that initially Buzzbee said he was and thus trying to link the Texans to this case.

    Where am I wrong?

    Did the words Texans employee not come out of his mouth?

    I don’t think a misquote is referencing the Texans.
    He went out of his way to say he hasn’t spoke with the Texans.
    I do think he will eventually go after the Texans and the league.

    He’s already got his deal. 4 years is a lot of time to recover and rehabilitate your image especially if you’re playing at an extremely high level and winning. You may be right though we have to see how everything plays out and hopefully get the facts. We only know one side of the story right now.

    Buzbee doesn’t need the money.

    I am starting to think this is personal and maybe a stab at attention.

    Using the term "sexual predator" is inaccurate or even close to laughable.

    if that will be the real case, the cases will be brought up by the cops and not any high profiled lawyers with civil lawsuits.

    It is what it is, as I said, it wont surprise me a bit that all other 39 NFL teams had done something like this, just because they were not put into this situation or making this kind of decisions before (and considering the decision making history of this forking franchise, it makes all these conspiracy theories actually more convincing), it doesnt mean they are all clean.

    This is true but this is also grounds for severing that contract.

    I am waiting to see how everything goes but I don't see how everything just gets ignored in this day and age.

    Exactly,

    that's why his targets (client) may not be those women and looking for those paycheck.

    When you are working for Mcnair, that's a whole different deal.

    It takes some crazy conspiracy theorist mentality to think that the Texans are involved in this.
    One, they aren’t smart enough to mastermind some character assassination out on a player and not get caught.
    Two, it serves no purpose. At all. There is no benefit to it.

    Well, lets talk about the motive.

    They have clearly bended their knees when they were forced to hire a black coach as hoping to ease the angers of the publics and also hoping to retain their franchise QA. Judging from the history of this franchise, no one will really trust that's the coach that the owner or management really wanted.

    But then, they were still getting humiliated as their QB refused for any communications and still insisting on one thing only : trade me.

    Remember who said this before : “can’t have the inmates running the prison.” ?

    Yeah I can’t have an honest discussion with you. You have your mind made up about this franchise and the ownership being something other than inept.
    There is no ulterior motives or racism. Just plain old ineptitude.

    Not true, it's an accurate term for someone who habitually seeks out small time independent masseuses with the intention of using his wealth and relative power over them to coerce sexual acts from them.

    He could get a legit massage anywhere. The team has muscular therapists he can use, damn near any halfway decent hotel does too.... he didn't want a massage though, he wanted someone he could coerce into giving him more.

    He could have just gotten prostitutes, but it seems like the fact that they weren't willing was the thrill for him.

    So just to clarify - as of Tuesday, two massage therapists had, for some reason, contacted Buzbee about their allegations. In the next 48 hours, another 22 or so did so, and Buzbee was already able to vet many these cases and officially file multiple additional lawsuits in that time? All are pursing lawsuits, but none (so far) have pursued criminal charges. And so far, all of the people have managed to remain anonymous and apparently at least some of them are "instagram massage therapists" he is finding around the country and Watson is flying them in for massages?

    Either Watson is an extraordinarily stupid and terrible person (hiring LMTs instead of escorts, asking for "services" they don't offer, leaving a trail of evidence like text message apologies, etc) or something very shady is going on here. Either is certainly possible - lots of athletes are pretty stupid. But this just all seems ... weird.

    Could be completely legitimate and Watson is a dispicable person..
    Could be a Cal Easterby scam - we know he's threatened to sue employees, send people to follow them, etc - so who knows what he's willing to do to destroy people.
    Could be a Watson ploy to get on the Texans bad side and get out (and then lawsuits conveniently get dropped later)

    The possibilities are endless - but it doesn't feel entirely organic in nature.

    I always thought he sounded kind of funny
