    The chances of Deshaun Watson being on the Texans active roster ever again is slim to none. That doesn't mean it isn't possible...but it's slim. We can all talk a lot about things we aren't sure of. But in this climate..in today's world...you can't have the face of your franchise be a guy accused of what he's accused of by a shitload of women. That might not be fair...I don't know. But I do know professional sports are a business, and image is EVERYTHING in that business.

    As a fan of the Texans, i'd honestly like to move on. I would really like to move on. I'm encouraged by what I saw Saturday, not as if it's a contender...but because I can root for a team of guys playing with a chip on their shoulder. I mean my namesake here was that guy. I can live with that.

    Still need to change the name and branding though :)

    You’re a clown man. Click the damn link and it’s right there. I didn’t change a single thing.

    Look up the law and you’ll see your king is a sexual abuser.

    I’ve provided multiple links clarifying Texas law on what constitutes sexual assault. Rape is not the only definition of sexual assault like you’re claiming. Continue to be an idiot

    When Watson gets traded, he's going to instantly become the face of the franchise for the team that trades for him. The NFL will have to deal with that. Watson will need a rehabilitation campaign.

    That’s fair and I can appreciate your faith.

    But did you really just compare Jesus to Watson?

    Since you recognize a little something about faith, you know that question does not even deserve answering.

    Of course... but because he signed an extension, he has to be traded/cut/released to leave.

    Initially, people were speculating that this would introduce the wave of player empowerment in the NFL (as we see in the NBA), and we'd have yearly players demanding/forcing trades regardless of contract status. I said then that I highly doubt the NFL owners would allow that to happen... one way or the other. Not to say this investigation automatically was triggered by trade demands, but the NFL owners still have the most power over players vs. any other professional sport... and they're not going to relinquish much of that any time soon.

    No, he wants to sexually assault massage therapists....but why would anyone at all care about what Watson wants?

    That's my whole point. He should be worrying about beating those cases instead of trying to get traded. So, does it matter whether I want him off the team or not? I say no.

    You're just wrong here. You have confused rape with sexual assault.

    None of us wanted Watson to self-implode, but he did. He's damaged goods regardless of any legal shenanigans Rusty Hardin can pull out of his hat.

    Did you think OJ was a good guy after he was found innocent?

    Turns out the rapist tore his Achilles a second time and likely misses all of next season too. Isn't it awful when bad things happen to terrible people?
