About time. Apparently Watson's team is excited, since at least one of the accuser's names will be available, but tbh they would say that if he was guilty or not, so...

What???

It's true.
Who else can make good wisecracks every post without even trying?
Who else has the same extensive first-hand knowledge of NFL history?
And most importantly: Who else can say they remember THE ORIGINAL Baltimore Colts???

Buzbee had no choice, after claiming he would go to HPD, and then claiming they were biased. Hardin played that one right. From watsons point if view this has to end one way or another before he can play another game.

Double points if he saw them play on 33rd street

Okay, i'm sold.

*collects double points*
I did indeed. The first time i saw them was versus the Lions at 33rd St. It was in 1969 with my Dad at the height of their prominence. It was very cold day and it snowed the night before and the seats were wet. The Colts let a 17-14 lead slip away late, ending in a 17-17 tie. There was no digital clock then on the scoreboard and the quarters ended with the ref firing of a starters pistol (this "practice" ended in 1994). The final game i saw them play at Memorial Stadium ever was in December 1981 near their nadir. It was the finale of the 1981 season and they were 1-14 but they managed to beat the Patriots 23-21 that day.

The next season was the 1982 strike shortened one, didn't go that year. I don't recall going to a game in 1983 though it is very possible. People were giving away their tickets for nothing that season just to put bodies in the seats. It was that bad.

Well, you probably got me in baseball. I only saw 3 World Series games ever, all at Memorial Stadium. Fourth and deciding game of 1966 which was the best bc it was all the marbles (Don Drysdale vs. Dave McNally), 4th game of 1970 WS - a win over Reds and the 7th game of 1971 series vs the Pirates, we lost all the marbles that day. Oddly, i did not get tix for 1969 WS vs Mets! Good thing too.

Again you win, never been to a baseball or football playoff game. Went to a couple of stanley cup finals games at MSG, but thats the best I can do

*looks down at floor*
I plead guilty your honor.

One point, I never actually saw the ORIGINAL Baltimore Colts who wore green instead of blue...

Baltimore Colts (1947–1950) - Wikipedia
The Baltimore Colts were a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The first team to bear the name Baltimore Colts, it was a member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) from 1947 to 1949 and then joined the National Football League (NFL) for one season before folding.

The devil is always in details.

Well, you still got me on the NHL. That's one heck of an exciting sport to see live. Saw the Maple Leafs at old Maple Leaf Garden in Toronto in 1962. Hardly remember it, i was that young. Later I went to dozens of Baltimore Clippers AHL games with my Dad. He loved hockey. His employer supplied those tix for client entertainment. Stanly cup at MSG must have been awesome. Though i do sort of follow the Caps I've never seen them live. My bad.

22nd Woman alleged misconduct by Watson, has yet to file a complaint

22nd Woman alleged misconduct by Watson, has yet to file a comment

22 women? That's enough to field a football team. Put it on pay per view, make a fortune. Bill it as Watson vs the Women.

Deshaun plays both sides of the "ball" on offense and defense. On offense he's allowed a hiker who does not make blocks but can catch passes. America will be watching as Deshaun eludes 11 angry women chasing him down field. Make it 11 on 1 on offense for the women although Watson's allowed a team of lawyers to litigate calls with the refs. Personal foul penalties and illegal use of hands will be strictly enforced!

It's like Sadie Hawkins Day but with forthcoming criminal charges.

Looks like the jets are drafting a QB after all.

Good luck Sam.

Good luck Sam.

Indeed. Just days after our jokes about trading for DeShaun Watson, the Panthers are now the proud new home of Sam Darnold. It may be interesting to see what Darnold can do away from those cursed green jerseys.

This also pretty much solidifies that the first three picks of the draft will all be QB's.

Which makes it tougher for the Belichick team to nab one without trading up.

22nd Woman alleged misconduct by Watson, has yet to file a complaint

Lawsuit has now been filed, bringing the total to 22

Another lawsuit has been filed against Deshaun Watson, this one alleging the Houston Texans quarterback assaulted a licensed aesthetician "by touching her with his penis and exposing himself."

The lawsuit, filed Friday night and made available on the Harris County District Clerk's website on Monday, said "Watson's behavior is part of a disturbing and escalating pattern." It was the 22nd lawsuit filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee since March 16.

The plaintiff alleges Watson "grabbed" her buttocks during a massage while his "penis was erect ... and completely exposed." The lawsuit alleges Watson told the massage therapist she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement before he would pay her for the massage.

The lawsuit says, "based on publicly available information, in a short time frame ... Watson used more than fifty different women for massages" and alleges that "Watson selected all of these women via social media, mostly through Instagram and through SnapChat." However, some of the lawsuits filed by Buzbee reference Watson booking a massage through a spa or through another referral.

Buzbee also has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday in which he says he "will address important and significant developments in the Deshaun Watson case."

Hmm. This isn't even fresh news, Kowani.
Have you considered whether the highlighted sentences are potentially too graphic for NS? Perhaps the act of linking the article is enough conveyance?

...the lawsuit was literally filed today

i don't think they are, no
it's a rather mild and straightforward descriptor of what allegedly happened, with no unnecessary imagery or lurid details

The highlighted statements were linked on this thread previously but not in verbatim, which seemed appropriate enough. I had read these statements through that link at least a week ago. The link seemed a sufficient boundary and i wanted to read the contents of the link though it was was my choice realizing i was going off campus. Some people might not want to see that without making the choice. Especially some people among NS Moderation. Just sayin, bro.

As for the filing of the lawsuit itself, sure, that's news. The rest of this imagery isn't necessary in announcing yet another lawsuit has been filed. That's my opinion and that's all it is... but I'm sticking to it.

[The Two Jerseys]

This one goes out to Sam Darnold.

[Sodoran Alesia]

One of Deshaun Watson's accusers has publicly come forward.

I applaud her for her bravery, it was an extremely strong statement. And honestly, we can talk all day about innocent until proven guilty but if there's 20 other women with stories like hers, I think it's done. Watson should never play again.
