They're not hard to find and he has the money to afford the best in the world. He is a sexual predator, that was looking for easy targets on which to prey....... They will all be paid off and the NFL will suspend Watson for a few games and it will be forgotten about. Think about some players who were able to continue to make millions after egregious criminal actions. This is an easy sweep under the rug unfortunately. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much the same people already calling Tua finished as questioning ZW through 5 games. Neither should be judged, even remotely yet. Look at FJ as the voice of reason! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1 difference is that the huge majority of players who were able to play after committing horrible crimes-- those were mostly one time events. The thing with Watson is he has multiple dozen women accusing him, but I do agree that at one point he will play again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quiet right now but, if there is ever a trial, it could get very seriously ugly. I don’t think Goodell is currently in a position where he could honestly say what’s gonna happen. Also, the Texans are voluntarily keeping him inactive. I find it odd that he’s not already on the commissioner’s list, and suspect that might be a handshake deal with the league, the team, and the player - and that if he’s traded he’d have to continue his inactive streak. Watson stepping on the field would certainly ramp up the criticism the league is trying to tamp down. I think the big moment for ginning up an outrage cycle for Watson was after the Vrentas “Mary” article, and that stayed in the news for, like, a day and a half. Watson is a gross sex pest. That’s baked in, and everyone knows it. I think, whenever a trade happens, there won’t be much of an issue in whatever market he goes to unless there’s stuff that hasn’t come out already. And given that Buzbee has tried to settle with Team Watson a few times already, it seems unlikely he’s holding any more cards up his sleeve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post defensedoesntgetyoulaid Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 Here we go. Two videos to compare. Shannon and Skip. I don't generally watch these guys but I did see their segment about Gruden. Check out the body language and words they use when talking about Gruden. Then watch a little of the same guys discussing Watson going to the Dolphins. It isn't so much that they're discussing the trade possibility, they have to do that. It's the way they do it. Laughing, joking, basically focussing on what a great talent he is and how the Phins are right to move heaven and earth to get him. I didn't watch the whole thing but the portion I saw basically brushed the accusations of MORE THAN TWENTY WOMEN under the carpet. In short, they KNOW he will get off, and they don't give a damn if he's guilty or not. They want the story and the drama that comes with it. I find this stuff fascinating. And again, this has zero to do with my feelings about Gruden. Never liked the guy. It's just a VERY recent example that jumps out at me because of how different the coverage has been. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that Buzbee has tried to settle with Team Watson a few times already, it seems unlikely he’s holding any more cards up his sleeve. You might be right. Just seems that a trade would put the spotlight on it once again, and then when he steps foot on the field, one more time. Or a few times, as he plays on Sunday, Monday, or Thursday and all the networks take their piece of flesh. I guess Miami’s real bet would be on Watson not doing it again. Or not getting caught again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do believe the women, and believe that Watson did what is accused. I could care less how good of a QB he is, and I don't want him on my Jets.

Have a criminal trial. It's not the women's call whether to hold a trial or not. That's the function of the DA. Historically, the problem for women has been that they are either ignored or their claims not believed. So, their only recourse is a civil trial, where they hope to inflict monetary damages. I'd bet the women accusing Watson would prefer a criminal trial in front of a judge and jury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
