This post didn't age well.Probably a publicity stunt by the law firm
Not Buzbee’s client. It’s another attorney. Rusty says he was unaware of the filing.
As we discussed earlier, I had heard rumblings last week Wednesday of a lawsuit on the brink of being file by an attorney other than Buzbee. I heard that there were also others that are being investigated by other attorney outside of Buzbee.
I think it's going to take more than the new allegation to keep him from playing this year. Watson's a star in his prime. He helps make rich people richer and Vegas flush with new money.As we discussed earlier, I had heard rumblings last week Wednesday of a lawsuit on the brink of being file by an attorney other than Buzbee.

This is perfectly timed to Watson's return to practice. The NFL will have a difficult time justifying letting him back on the field for a regular season game.

It is obvious that Watson has so many women he violated that he doesn't know how many. It also means that Watson lied to everyone...............NFL, the Browns, Goodell, Hardin and the judge arbitor about there being no more...............
Well there is something out there he would most certainly would be held to be disciplined for if it came to light. The NFL married themselves to Watson. They can never again say they support victim’s or women’s rights. Every new allegation makes them look like they didn’t care which they didn’t. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some lawsuits against the NFL.
I think an indictment would change things. But it's going to be difficult to get an indictmentAlso, what if gets indicted? Or charged for anything related to those incidents? Then what? Good job Goodell. There’s more to come.
Every news media needs to disseminate the wording of the settlement in regards to exempting additional further cases in the 2019-2021 period from further punishment. I hope at very least the NFL and Goodell's name is smeared all over the media in a concentrated measure. That exemption goes against the NFL's own Personal Conduct Policy and the Judge Administrator's own ruling.Also, what if gets indicted? Or charged for anything related to those incidents? Then what? Good job Goodell. There’s more to come.

Those EXTRA young victims that never came to light due to immediate approach by Defense attorney before any lawsuit could be filed or claim made publicly. The families understandably wanted to protect their child and the family from the trauma of publicity. If just one decides to break the NDA made as a minor any time after their 17th BD, they would do so without any legal implications for the break.
Separate fellow who has my attention is on the right track with this tweet.
They didn’t want their dirty laundry Aired out. So hence here we are.I was telling posters today how incompetent God'ell is.
I was told he does what the owners want. I certainly hope the owners didn't want this agreement.

Two DAs declined to indictNot after the current DA is out of office.
So like all of the previous cases regarding Watson, this was not investigated at the time of the purported incident.We will know nothing as to whether there will be criminal charges from the lawsuit which is a civil action. If the police begin an investigation, that will only be released at a very much later time.
............which in general is not an unusual situation for sexual assault.So like all of the previous cases regarding Watson, this was not investigated at the time of the purported incident.
So, Watson settling with the other women shields him from punishment for any new cases that pop up? I’m trying to understand what this “protection clause” does for either side. My edible just kicked in, sorry.Last night, Florio reports the Watson lawsuit, mentions nothing about the "protective clause" included in his settlement with the NFL. It was the Administrative NFL judge that actually wanted more than 1 year suspension (as should have been obvious by the incongruity of her commentaries and her final public decision), not the NFL like was presented to the public. Seeing that this was going to come out, Goodell then intervened to "negotiate" a settlement with Watson, the NFLPA, and Hardin outside the Protocol Judge's decision. Keep in mind that the NFL Personal Conduct Policy allows NFL/Goodell to adjust the LENGTH of the punishment the FINE AMOUNT set by the Administrative Judge. It does not leave an opening for addressing/adjusting future terms of punishment which address new allegations whether occurring in the future or having occurred in the past.
I don't really understand your question re. the "protection clause." It supposedly shields Watson from additional punishment................while it probably protects the NFL from being put in a position to open up and defend their liberal stance on owner discipline compared to a harsher Watson punishment.So, Watson settling with the other women shields him from punishment for any new cases that pop up?

For a single assault, it's less than 25% of victims report the crime, I've heard. But for not one complaint to the authorities at the time of the incident, out of 22, 25, 30, 60 (hard to keep up)? That seems very odd to me. Statistically speaking, you would think that there would be one timely complaint out of 5. Maybe 4 or 5 from the entire list of women filing suit. Instead, zero.............which in general is not an unusual situation for sexual assault.
Have you seen how Cleveland fans have reacted with their disgusting signs and props? The question of well how come they didn’t come forward sooner should be null and void.For a single assault, it's less than 25% of victims report the crime, I've heard.

The original complaint to me seems totally legit. It probably took her a while to come to terms how much the incident would affect her life going forward. And I sure others felt empowered by her coming forward. But the Buzbee cattle call on twitter for Watson victims contaminated some of the claims that came afterward. Now, over 20 months after the original suits were filed, and after many lawsuits have been settled for the complainants, we have another suit? Not that Watson deserves the benefit of the doubt, but logic suggests that a decent number of these suits were copycats. It's likely that not everyone is a hero here.
I haven't. Never been a Cleveland Brown fan and there's no reason for me to start now. And I don't believe that anything is null and void if it doesn't go thru an honest assessment.Have you seen how Cleveland fans have reacted with their disgusting signs and props?
The NFL states that Watson has completed his counseling successfully. Yet he has not acknowledged anything to his accusers. The only purpose of the counseling was for window dressing? It would be like going to an AA meeting and introducing yourself............."Hello, I am John Doe, and I am not an alcoholic."
For some reason, we fans expect too much from the NFL. And when we are let down (again) we're dumbfounded. So here are things to remember about the NFL.The NFL is too chickenshit to truly hold him accountable.
For some reason, we fans expect too much from the NFL. And when we are let down (again) we're dumbfounded. So here are things to remember about the NFL.
1. The NFL will always look after the NFL, first and foremost. It doesn't matter what they say. Words are cheap. Actions could cost them $$$.
2. The NFL does not have a moral high ground to stand on. Whatever players may have done, it's not difficult to find an owner that's done something as bad, or worse. Expecting these guys to be moral judges is to shine an even brighter light on their hypocrisy.
3. The NFL cannot solve society's ills. Even if they wanted to. Crime. Racism. Disease. Gender equality. That will exist with or without the NFL. As you said, pandering they're good at. So they stick to what they know.
The logical conclusion? Stop looking to the NFL for justice. They wouldn't know justice if it sacked them on 4th & long. Here's a 2015 list of 44 players accused and/or convicted of sexual assault or domestic battery. Not included are those since 2015. And it doesn't go back far enough to include players like Lance Rentzel, Mark Chmura, Darren Sharper, Kellen Winslow, Jr., or the dozens of others I can't remember. What did the NFL do then? What can they do now?
The NFL is only a reflection of the world we live in. It's on the TV, on your street, and possibly in your family. Blaming the NFL for this is pointless. Blame them for not being able to find the Thursday night game on your TV.
