Nobody will want Watson now.

I know pro athletes tend to be entitled little bitches but wow this guy takes the cake. His only hope is to go through some type of rehab and claim he's changed. Sort of like Favre back in the day with his opiates.

Deshaun Watson signed a 4 year, $156,000,000 contract with the Houston Texans, including a $27,000,000 signing bonus, $110,717,123 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $39,000,000. In 2021, Watson will earn a base salary of $10,540,000, while carrying a cap hit of $15,940,000 and a dead cap value of $67,140,000.

Watson might have sabotaged himself for all we know. He's walking away with just under $110,000,000.00 no matter what.

Isn't there a personal conduct clause?

He got a couple dozen women to go in with him?

He is going to say later "it was all made up to get me out of town and the women were in on it". I think his lawyer would be facing jail time if that were to happen. if there are text/emails/social media posts from months ago...

I would say there is 0.00 % chance of that.

Is there no clause in his contract that allows the Texans to void it for bad behavior?

That story in SI is pretty creepy, to say the least.

I've been going to a massage therapist twice a month for two years and have an acquaintance friend that is also a massage therapist. Both of them have told me I'd shit myself if I knew how frequent this type of behavior is. We're not at the finish line just yet as a society.

Finish line?

We haven't even turned he first corner.

Bigotry hasn't been reduced or lessened. it was just forced into the shadows and reared its ugly head during the last Presidency. Now it is almost a badge of honor for some of these twits.

this kind of behavior is abhorrent and yet it is frequent behavior. Watson is probably thinking he did nothing wrong because he's been getting away with shit literally all his life because of his athletic abilities.

Our society has a long way to go. I actually think we pulled a Jim Marshall for the last few years and ran the wrong way.

Wow. Can the team void any of that money for conduct issues, if this all gets proven out in court? That's a ton of money to lose.

Whoo-hoo potentially more NFL play reviews!! More commercials, err "breaks".

The NFL's competition committee has endorsed six potential rule changes for the 2021 season, including a proposal that would expand the scope of information that replay officials could provide to on-field officiating crews during games.

Replay officials were already empowered to help referees with a limited suite of information, including such items as the correct time on the game clock and the correct down. This year's proposal adds to that list, if video available in the press box shows "clear and obvious" evidence. Replay officials -- as well as other members of the league's officiating department -- would be able to advise on possession, a completed or intercepted pass, whether a player is down by contact and the position of the ball relative to a line or boundary.

My hatred for review just got worse. I wish they would just get rid of it and make the refs on the field accountable for bad calls. Replay slows down the momentum of the game, and the process takes too long.

I love it. I guess I think differently. I like examining a play to figure out what the right call was. Sometimes even in slow motion it can not be determined, but I love the controversy and appreciate what the refs do, because overall they do a great job. Most of all, I do want to see the right call made so that the outcome can be fair, especially if it is a competitive game. If the score is 21-0 I probably already changed the channel or turned the game off if my team is losing. And if it makes the game last longer, that's good too. It prolongs what is one of my greatest pleasures. How can I dislike that?
