One more thought on the Watson thing: what if all of these skeletons coming out of the closet was the real reason he wanted out of Houston?.
What if the schism between him and McNair/Easterby was just cover? He had no problem signing that deal when the best WR he had and in the NFL was shipped off for nothing and his coach was on the hot scene. Not to mention he actually thanked Easterby a couple of times after signing in the press and shit like that.
Really makes you wonder if he knew this was coming and he tried to get the hell out of dodge.
First instinct has to be to believe women who come forward about sexual harassment/assault. It's very rare for a woman to lie about such a thing because for the most part society has historically sided with men in even the worst cases.
So, watson appears to be a dude who liked trying to turn massages into sexual encounters, and that's pretty shitty. He could have just hired women who did that sort of thing instead of pressuring legitimate therapists into it, which is gross and awful.
The lawyer isn't doing his clients any favors by acting shady though, he doesn't seem like he's on the up and up at all. Terrible situation all around.
Watson definitely seems like a creep, especially as there are progressively more claims. The lawyer also seems like a creep as they seem to be trying to make a name for themselves off of these women.
The lawyer has no reason to make a name for himself. He's already one of the most respected and powerful lawyers in the Houston area. Powerful enough where he took BP to court over their oil spill in the Gulf and actually won the case.
Houston area folks can confirm he's an asshat, but an asshat who apparently puts his money where his mouth is in the courtroom. If anything he's using his name to make a bigger deal out of this and act as a shield for the women since I've noticed people seem more focused on dragging him rather than them

Texans are probably wishing they traded him already
He's so screwed. 22 women means the dude has a serious problem or something
It’s hard to believe believe this many people are involved and have there be nothing. The Texans traded for Ryan Finley and gave a lot of money to Tyrod Taylor, they’re definitely preparing for Watson to not be there
Agreed, but at the same time, it's time for the lawyer to start providing some hard evidence (and not some silly texts that tells us nothing). All he keeps saying is that more and more women are coming forward without bringing a shred of any evidence. This sounds like either a smear campaign or extortion.

And you sound incredibly ignorant.
22 women came out. If it was one I think that argument might be a valid idea but there's f***ing 22 women here. How dumb do you have to be to do think there's that elaborate of a conspiracy here? Especially with a lawyer who is well respected.
He doesn't need to provide any evidence for twitter, he would need to do that in the court room
