JohnnyLV Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 You forgot Ray Rice, Tyreek Hill, many others If you are a star yes they will forget.

Popular Post David Harris Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 I don’t think JD was super interested in a Watson deal to begin with. I think this gives him the out he preferred all along. I think he may love Wilson and he wants a rookie contract and he understands this is a total nuke job rebuild and doesn’t want expectations or distractions getting in the way of the rebuild. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one report of a masseuse speaking to her manager afterwards about getting less money than expected. You'd think she explained to the manager right? Then any employer would have to take a sexual assault seriously. A formal complaint with paper trail? A police report? And that's just one of the 12. There has to be some "hard" (haha sorry) evidence somewhere. It’s 13 lawsuits and Buzbee says he has spoken to 10 other women who’ve made similar claims. I am aware nothing has been proven yet and the process will play out but this is an atrocious look for anyone. People quite often don’t report abuse out of fear or embarrassment, especially for someone with the status of an NFL star. It’s an intimidating process. There’s no right or wrong way to go about it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that went out the window when the lawyer released his "evidence" attempting to give credibility to his accusations. It's laughable... Now that he has released "evidence" that sucks. How about word from the managers of these masseuses? There are reports the lawyer filed of managers being spoken to. Any formal complaints? Paper trails? Police reports? Don't employers have some responsibility here regarding sexual assault accusations? I mean there has to be something. Right? It’s sad when people enjoy a sport so much that they completely turn their head to the very realization that a woman was most likely attacked. I agree with waiting things like this out but it’s looking real and it’s looking disgusting. There is evidence & evidence without the “ “ and it’s looking like Watson is a piece of garbage. a true monster. All some of you can say is “WELL I HOPE MIAMI DOESNT GET UM” or “WELL GOOD I HOPE THIS DRIVES THE PRICE DOWN” ... it’s quite ****ed actually. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengeek Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I find it plausible given the timing that the Texans are involved in the sudden release of all this info. Clearly the release is not optimally timed from their standpoint because it minimizes Watson’s trade value. So why now? My best guess is that they threatened Watson with the release of info and he ignored the threat to the point they were compelled to pull that trigger. The best case from the Texans standpoint is that teams stay away and DW4, still with the Texans asks them to make all this go away. The worst for the Texans is that he is traded away for little value, but guess what...they can simply choose not to make such a trade. I don’t have any facts to support this theory and I don’t even think it is the best course of action for the Texans. I will note that many here doubted their negotiating skills, so I do believe it’s plausible. So yeah, I bet that what we’re hearing is the set of complaints, valid or not, collected against Watson over time being turned into ammunition in their ongoing battle.

I’m all about believing the women, etc. But Buzbee said the “next step” was going to the police and instead his “next step” has been to raise the price tag on the civil settlement presented to Watson. While I personally find this disqualifying sh*t, I know that the Dolphins and Patriots will not find it disqualifying, and that the NFL will be slotting the team that gets Watson into every prime time slot in existence as soon as this year, and, in a few weeks, these charges will be mentioned tangentially in a way that makes it sound like Watson got a couple of speeding tickets on US1. If Jets fans want to turn up their nose over this, that’s fine and understandable, but they need to be realistic about how this ends up if the Jets choose to be the only team that chooses to be moralistic in this case. They’re going to go into the season with Watson as a Patriot, with Watson’s image plastered all over the telecast and advertising, and we’re going to be watching a panicked Zack Wilson or Sam Darnold throw a football at Jamison Crowder’s feet for sixteen games. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Flying women to your house for BJs against their will is more than a fetish. It’s creepy as sh*t and criminal. This isn’t Broadway Joe banging movie stars and having a good time with consenting women. if it turns out it’s a scam it will shake out. I’m not giving up draft capital until we know it’s a scam. I can’t watch NCIS since Mark Harmon played Ted Bundy. Watson ain’t my QB until he’s clear. I thought it was a scam. It still could be. The pattern seems to point to a creepy abusive guy. There’s money and reputation at stake so I hope this turns out to be BS. TBD... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I just read this last page Even though there have been a lot of bad people to play in the NFL, the amount of people, nearly 2 dozen that claim he abused them is unprecedented. I really doubt all of them are just making this up. If Watson is found guilty, Goodell is going to have to bring the full wrath of the NFL against him. He could possibly be suspended for multiple seasons. With this hanging over the guy, I would only trade #23 for him straight up. He is worth that risk.

I don't think there is any question he engaged in questionable behaviors. You simply do not get that many accusers telling similar stories otherwise, no matter what the conspiracy theorists might think. With that said, it does not mean he did anything criminal, and it does not mean he even did anything actionable civilly. You can ask for sex (as long as it's not for money). You can flirt, hard and uncomfortably, even with people you have hired for a service. There is alot of room for Watson to have been a D-bag predator, and STILL not have done anything actionable. There is no right to not be uncomfortable, but there is a line (one of those know it when you see it) where it crosses from uncomfortable flirting/begging into sexual harassment or even assault. Again, this is what these situations have two fundamental parts: 1. Do not immediately discount or denounce the women alleged victims. I.e. Believe Women, AND 2. Verify. This is the court process of evidence, testimony and the case. This weighs what will almost assuredly boil down to he says vs. 14 she says, and both the court, and the court of public opinion (i.e. us) will have to decide whom we believe and to what degree. i.e. believe, but verify. No one today should be declaring "I think X is right, or I think the 14 Y's are right". No one knows, least of all us. But you should understand, with this many accusers, it's very rare that the accused gets off scot-free. The weight of testimony alone of 14 alleged victims sets a pattern of behaviors, a consistency of actions, that strongly corroborates their accusations, even without a single drop of physical evidence (which, somewhat oddly, is what many of the "women are all lying, conspiracy!" JN posters seem to want, semen stained blue dresses aren't exactly a thing in most of these types of cases.) This will be a he said, she said. The Court (and eventually, the NFL) will have to determine who tells the more convincing and consistent story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but don't discount the counter reality. Watson bit the hand of the White Father. The NFL and a good portion of the owners are all about player control. Watson's value as an asset vs sending a statement to the players that they own them is a no brainer for the teams. The NFL owners make money by controlling players and reaping the benefit of a huge slush fund that's not based on winning. I'm sure they aren't happy about QB's like Wilson and Watson not toeing the corporate line. Kraft got off because he's powerful and connected to politicians. Watson is going after a very powerful group of owners and challenging the status quo. It doesn't look good for Watson but so far we only have 1 side of the story. I wouldn't trade for him right now but I wouldn't discount this is a smear campaign. Control is a big deal for the NFL and their owners. This could be a case of abuse and it's really creepy if true. It could also be a very powerful organization exerting control. If the glove doesn't fit you can't convict. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you should understand, with this many accusers, it's very rare that the accused gets off scot-free. The weight of testimony alone of 14 alleged victims sets a pattern of behaviors, a consistency of actions, that strongly corroborates their accusations, even without a single drop of physical evidence (which, somewhat oddly, is what many of the "women are all lying, conspiracy!" JN posters seem to want, semen stained blue dresses aren't exactly a thing in most of these types of cases.) This will be a he said, she said. The Court (and eventually, the NFL) will have to determine who tells the more convincing and consistent story.Yeah, if the woman who described him locking her head between his thighs and telling her to spit on it and kiss it is lying or not believable... She's also the one who went to her manager about getting shorted the first time - if she discussed Watson's behavior with him, or if he or anyone talked to her after the second incident and noticed her visibly upset etc. it would still be hearsay but would take another step towards corroboration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
