I'll reserve judgement for when they have actual facts and evidence, but I'm having a really hard time getting past the optics of the fact this attorney has called the Texans owner a "friend" before and also the suspicious timing - which add up to the Texans getting back at Watson for demanding out. I wonder if he decides to play if these "quietly" go away. I mean, he's been there four seasons. Some of these allegations go back quite a ways. So why all of a sudden, right at the moment he pissed off Texans owners, does a friend of the owner suddenly issue these lawsuits? And also to my earlier point, these massage therapists are trained to deal with customers acting inappropriately. It's not as if any of them would be "shocked into silence" because it likely happens to them a lot on the job and they would be trained to handle it.

It's just all really suspect.

^ Watson isn't gwai-ro and so, all mulligans are off.


As I said, DeDone.

Crazy, so many thoughts in my head. Kyle is gonna get a top 3 QB of his choice (really seemed like RG3 was a Snyder pick)

The timing is peculiar. Draft day trade of this magnitude, a month in advance?

Is there some kind of understanding with Saleh, since the Jets have pick #2?

HYPED THOUGH

Holy, that's a pile of first round picks sent to move up. I thought Pace was nuts for what he did for Mitch but SF just gave up 3 first picks?

There’s some metric out there that measures the value of draft picks, and moving into the top 3 from #12 certainly has a high “cost”

This is gonna be a make-or-break decision for this front office. Shanahan’s draft crushes have left something to be desired, but I’m optimistic.

There were rumblings that Watson could’ve landed in SF, though Jimmy’s trade clause prohibits the team from trading him unless he approves of it. Doubt he’d wanna go to that dumpster fire.

dunno what the odds were, but in retrospect I’m glad THAT trade didn’t happen.

Wouldn't be surprised at all. There is the potential that they could also draft another QB with their picks (a la Brady)

You guys could draft a QB from the 2341451th round of the Russian Cambodian league and he'd still be successful with the cheating system in place in NE.

Then how do you explain Cam and the Pats season this past season?? Let me guess - Cam didn't have enough time to be indoctrinated or assimilated, right??

Not enough time.

And he didn't rage-enough to refs and his team members to draw the all-Fort-Knox protection the wussy girly man did before he fled to Tampa.

This season, the Pats will go undefeated once Cam figures it out...he's just too nice.

Well after reading this account of Watson I'm starting to change my opinion. This may not be assault in the violent physical sense, but this is creepy behavior to say the least.

NFL moves to 17-game regular season in 2021: What it means for teams, players, revenue and fans

Welcome, NFL fans, to the Sweet Seventeen.

As has been expected for months now, NFL owners voted Tuesday to expand the regular season from 16 games to 17 starting this year. This is not a drill, people. This is happening..............

Well, 1000 yard RBs are going to only need to average under 60 yards a game now.

I like one less per season game, but we didn't really need one more regular season. But, they are accustomed to 20 games of revenue, so I doubt the total will ever change.

I was thinking the same regarding the revenue piece.

So does the season just start a week earlier now? Basically on the 4th preseason week?

Or is everything being pushed back one week?

Da Bears voted against the 17-game regular season. See...not even they want to see Dalton play QB for an extra game either.

If you factor in the capacity to cheat as a quality/talent, yes I agree, TomTom is indeed impressive.
