Deshaun Watson to be suspended 11 games via settlement

[RoyBatty is alive]

Texans ownership wisards finally figured out to Fire asst Gm or whatever his title was that lead to some much Houston dysfunction and the ultimate losing of Watson, JJ Watt and DeAndre Hopkins.

Listening to this clown speak right now. Avoiding any and all questions in regards to anything off the field. He still seems disingenuous and claims he's just locked in as being a QB. Hope he falls flat on his face. I don't wish him injury, I just hope he sucks at playing QB for the rest of his life.

No what the poster StHustle articulated is in no way considered rape in Texas, no idea where you came up that.  The act of asking for sex is not considered

Forced Oral sex is considered rape in Texas, which is what he was accused of in at least one of the cases.

If only the browns issues were fixed with this guy. They just get bigger when he steps on the field.

Has to be a distraction, I don't care what his other teammates are saying to the media.

I mean, yea, he’s going to insist on just talking football obviously

Agreed. But the browns have to be hoping to leave much of the drama in this season to get a somewhat clean start next year.

Agree with this. It is why they said as soon as the ban came down "as soon as he is available he starts." I don't think they even expect him to be good this year. He has been off the field nearly 2 whole years. They just want to take as much of the heat and the sting this season, when they are dead anyway and then try and re-set it all in the spring and hope the news cycle has moved on by September. And as long as no further allegations come out I'd say they have a reasonable chance of that sort of working. Not that people will ever forgive and forget... but that it just will not be a dominating news story each and every week next season.

Seems like the Browns were trying to gauge anticipated fan reaction last week. This week they're just using a bigger skunk.

I don't wish injury on anyone but if someone destroys Watson's kneecaps I wouldn't be upset by it. It will be interesting to see if the refs were told to keep their flags in their pockets if there are any roughing penalties. Hopefully he puts up a stinker and there are calls for Brissett to take back over

What is this, bringing up posts from months ago?  Forced oral is rape and I never heard that as an accusation.  What did I write, what STHustle  articulated is on no way considered rape in Texas.  I dont care enough to go back , look up what he/she said and debate the point, believe whatever you want to.

Buzbee and 10 or so of Watson’s accusers will be sitting in a luxury box for the game. That seems very odd to me.
