No, their defense is we have almost as many women who say he’s a good person and directly contradicts the accusers.

It doesn’t matter whether you agree with the strategy, it’s about casting doubt on those accusations.

"Mr Watson, do the Texans have a massage therapist?"

"Yes"

"Do you have to pay for it?

"No"

"Why then have you paid hundreds of times for something that you can get for free from your employer unless is was for something nefarious? How has someone who has lived somewhere for 1000 days paid for over 100 massages when it could be gotten for free at your place of work?"

Eh, that isn't a very good argument, imo. He's already rich and can afford it.

He probably also can get all kinds if food and beverages for free at the facility, but doesn't necessarily want to only dine there.

It isn't that he paid for it a hundred times that is suspicious.

It is the fact that there are so many massage therapists he has seen.

In life, whenever you seek professional services (eg. doctor, lawyer, dentist, psychiatrist, financial advisor, hair-stylist, carpenter, and massage therapist), you usually don't hop from one to another so frequently.

You usually find one that is good and stick with them. That is how professional-client relationships work.

This is especially true for the rich and famous, who tend to have very high standards and are therefore less likely to visit a specialist that is unknown to them versus one that has proven to be good.

Rich and famous people tend to have a "go-to" person for each of their needs. They don't take "whatever and whoever is available" the way average folks do.

When you see the amount of different massage therapists he has seen, then it becomes a very big red-flag.

To me, it seems that Watson was viewing them more as "hook-ups" rather than "massage therapy sessions".

It's pretty obvious what he's been doing. This is not for some sports-related aliment and if he just wanted the erotic massage, I'm sure there are services for that in Houston. He is putting unsuspecting women just trying to do their job in a really bad situation. The fact there are so many tells you he's got some major issues.

I'm sure many NFL athletes have their own guy/gal but it's probably limited to like 1 or 2 outside the organization. Similar to how Brady had his own nutritionist.

Watson and the NFLs advantage here is that the season is still 4/5 months away so it gives them time to see how it plays out. Had this happened in say August, they'd of told him to sit out indefinitely already.

Never thought this dude was much of a leader for a team. Now I know he isn’t, and never will be looked upon or recognized as a leader. If he even plays again.

Oh boy. He's going to play again...I think? But mainstream fame/endorsements is probably out of question at this point. At best, he's getting Big Ben'd.

Big Ben was "lucky" all of that stuff happened when it did. If he pulled those shenanigans now he would have faced much harsher punishment probably in almost every way.
The Steelers nearly cut him supposedly after that too

Demanding a trade months after signing a long-term deal is very poor leadership. I don't care what you may or may not think about the Texans organization. You don't demand a trade right after signing long-term. Poor professionalism.

I also have thought he has been overrated as a player. What has he ever accomplished? I don't care what some of his statistics are. Statistics for a quarterback only tell 25% of the story. If he was such an elite QB, his presence alone would lead to a better than 4-12 record.

Totally agree , especially with the stat comments, chucking for a zillion yards in garbage time is not impressive.
