Wormlegs Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'm sure the NFL will make it go away. These players get 5, 10, 15 chances to correct their mistakes, where everyone else normally gets 1 chance. I am finding it hard to believe that now 23 women would all lie. Yeah lets give rapists and women abusers millions of dollars. way to go society and media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochis_Calhoun Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The NFL has suspended people 6 games for a single allegation (that turned out to be total bunk) in the past, and all the talk is the other 31 owners are absolutely raging at the Browns trading for him and especially the contract, which apart from screwing the QB market, looks to be structured to avoid Watson losing any significant money from a possible season long ban. It'll be interesting to see where the ban lands, the NFL is in a tougher spot still after what MLB did on Bauer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolg Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Watson was in contact with at least 66 different women.... Who needs 66 massage therapists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone does not want him playing anymore I think at this point everyone but the Cleveland Browns would rather he wasn't playing any more. Every journalist that has done any sort of investigation of Watson has found things that stink to high heaven and suggest a pattern of behaviour. Given the numbers of women the NYT is talking about, there could yet be more civil cases to come. The NFL can usually get a fanbase to go along with the cliche that the victim is out for a payday when it's one woman, but 23 civil cases? That's a big old cloud of smoke if there's no fire. The NFL must be hoping and praying that the independent adjudicator doesn't go for a slap on the wrist because that will cause a shitstorm, the Bauer decision by MLB has reset the bar on this sort of question and the farce of handing down what looks like a hefty ban before collapsing to 6 or 7 games on appeal may not cut it this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Watson is still young and was playing at an elite level last we saw him so if he does his penance ala Vick he will get his shot again. But I just don't see him playing again until at least late '23, prolly '24. The Browns are swimming in a lake of their own doo-doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been quietly kinda rooting for the Browns ever since they came back into the league. And I've also kinda liked Baker Mayfield. But at this point, to hell with them. They deserve what they get as far as Watson is concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I don't condone what Watson did if he is in fact guilty. Baker Mayfield isn't even a top 10 QB IMO. Watson is at least top 10, possibly top 5. A Browns YouTuber made point that Browns had talent on team and Baker couldn't do much with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker was royally beat up last year, I don't think I've seen a Qb guts his way through a season like that since Jim McMahon. I feel like Baker will make a better journeyman than franchise savior.

Watson played their stupid asses now they have no QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah lets give rapists and women abusers millions of dollars. way to go society and media. Ray rice didn’t. Now what he did wasn’t acceptable and the NFL probably wouldn’t have done anything where it not for video of the incident coming out. The thing that bugs me most(the allegations of 24 women are obviously important) is why the F did he need 66 massage therapists over 17 months ? Did the Texans not have a medical staff who’d have handled that stuff. I mean Shannon sharpe said a couple of days ago, that he has had the same person since 1999, that works on him when needed. 1 over 23 years and Deshaun Watson somehow needed 66 in 17 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesIreland Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 And it should be pointed out that the NFL don’t need there to be charges filed for them to act. They’ve in the past suspended players or put them on the commissioners list for the optics alone ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
