    Kind of like the cosby thing. One or two you kind of can dismiss it and "hope for the best", but once it gets so big seems like there could be an issue.

    Buzbee is kind of putting his name out there too right, so do people think that he'd do that without having a good basis for it?

    "I live for fighting on behalf of the weak against the powerful," Buzbee told Texas Monthly at the time. "I enjoy getting my clients a bunch of money and putting the fear of God in those who are unfortunate enough to oppose me."

    Buzbee will be joined on his legal team by Cornelia Brandfield-Harvey, Brittany Ifejika and Crystal Del Toro. Brandfield-Harvey is a Houston native who worked in the Harris County Attorney's Office targeting strip clubs and illegal massage parlors that dealt in prostitution and human trafficking. Del Toro has worked for Buzbee since 2014 and handles civil litigation, including sexual abuse. Ifejika, who received her law degree at the University of Texas, had a fellowship with the Texas Advocacy Project prior to being hired by Buzbee. While there, she worked with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

    ...

    In many ways, [Hardin] has become an attorney to the stars, particularly professional athletes. His best-known client was Roger Clemens, whom he represented in litigation surrounding the Mitchell report about performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Hardin's firm also represented Clemens in a perjury case after the Justice Department accused him of lying to Congress. Clemens was acquitted. Hardin represented former Houston Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich in a DWI case (dismissed); Wade Boggs in a lawsuit brought by a flight attendant against Boggs alleging verbal assault (verdict in favor of Boggs); and Warren Moon on charges of assaulting his wife (acquitted). He also represented Adrian Peterson after his arrest for spanking his 4-year-old son with a switch (no-contest plea, no jail time).

    Hardin's most famous case, though, was when he represented the son of billionaire J. Howard Marshall against former Playboy centerfold Anna Nicole Smith, who had married Marshall 14 months before his death.

    The inheritance became both a legal case and tabloid sideshow, especially when Hardin cross-examined Smith. At one point he asked her, "Mrs. Marshall, have you been taking new acting lessons?"

    Smith's response, after grabbing a tissue: "Screw you, Rusty."

    In multiple interviews, Hardin has said the line followed him everywhere. But he told the "20/20": "It never did offend me." Hardin won that case, too, playing "You Light Up My Life," during closing arguments because there had been reference earlier in the trial to Smith being the light of Marshall's life.

    "I said I had something I thought might capture the spirit of the trial," Hardin told The New York Times in 2001. "Then Debby Boone's voice started singing and the jury cracked up."

    Even in cases he has lost -- he was the attorney for Arthur Andersen LLP in an obstruction of justice trial -- he makes an impression. He turned what many believed to be an easy win for the government into 10 days of jury deliberation.

    "He kept us focused," a juror on the case, Jack Gallo, told the Wall Street Journal in 2002. "You never know what is going to come out of his mouth." Tritico said he shares Hardin's deceptively laid-back style.

    "I'm not saying that Tony is rude, but our style is not aggressive," Tritico said. "Our style is slow, methodical, getting what we need and smiling at them while we're slowly poking them with knives."

    Have you read in the stuff he is putting out or the inconsistencies in his stories?

    At 1st I was thinking he must really have the goods but the more that has come out it seems like he is just trying to create a narrative.

    He looks like a ambulance chaser at this point and I know he is more than that.

    I don't know about any of you simps but I'd love to be a house husband. I'm a better cook and pickier and frugal shopper.

    I’m thinking that @Nook is on the money with this one. Watson is a target but not the end goal. The real target is the NFL

    What color panties you wear? Lol

    All jokes aside, my wife and I split a lot of household duties but we do have our chores that are more gender stereotypes.
    She would quit working in a heartbeat if she didn’t spend so long getting her masters in her field.

    I respect the fact you seem being a provider and protector for your family. That's the way it's supposed to be. Is that misogynistic and/or sexist to believe?

    It's no surprise your wife stopped working 20 years before you did and your money has mostly handled the expenses. Because being provided for is what most women want at day's end. Same thing I already said yet you deny it then inadvertently prove my point.

    If your wife can cook and clean she's already outdoing many modern women. Many modern women scoff at those things thinking men should just be happy at getting access to her body. But guess what.. her body isn't virgin and many times her uterus has already been used.

    Funny enough I helped my wife finish school and then get her masters by telling her to quit working. She really had a hard time dealing with me as the only breadwinner for 3 years. She's the one constantly telling me that if i'm not happy with work to just quit and go back to school to and find a job I love.

    I'm 9 years older than her so I will probably take her up on it but not for another 5 years at least.

    You're not even understanding what I'm saying.

    I haven't insulted or demeaned women. I'm just speaking on my observations with women.

    Yeah, similar age difference with me and the wife.
    I own my own business in sports world, she’s jealous of the flexibility and time spent with our kid. She will eventually go to private practice and have more flexibility.
    She never had a problem with me being the bread winner, I think it was more she didn’t like that she couldn’t contribute.

    Every single woman I know from their 20s to their 80s knows how to cook and clean. Most enjoy cooking. Who are you hanging around with?

    Also the vast majority of the husbands I know from their 20s to their 80s have no problem at all helping their wives do the cooking and cleaning, regardless who is the primary breadwinner.

    The vast majority of the women I know from their 20s to their 80s enjoy sharing the responsibility of care. They would much rather have the opportunity to have a career than to be a 'kept' woman.

    Considering I don't know who you associate with, I can't refute your point since you are going by personal experience.

    The fact that you think you have not demeaned or insulted women shows how out of touch you really are.

    Where are these statistics you were talking about?

    Preparing Hamburger Helper is not cooking.

    Your wife stopped working long before you so you don't really have an argument against what I've stated.

    My "standards" of women are not difficult yet so many are unwilling to execute it. Those same women expect the Top 10% of men.
