Why not just sentence him to 12 months of community service cleaning up the empty nips and used condoms along the roadsides and beaches around Cleveland?

Why even that much?  He's in Cleveland.  Hasn't he been punished enough already?

Deshaun Watson court depositions: Quarterback says he didn’t tell Texans about massage appointments
 

</snip>
 

The FOX 8 I-Team obtained excerpts of two of the depositions Monday. These two depositions deal with two of the women who filed lawsuits.
 

Watson was asked if he sought out a massage from one of the women because he thought she was attractive.

“I can’t answer that,” Watson said. “I have a girlfriend, so that wasn’t my intention.”
 

He told the attorney, who was asking him questions, that he just wanted a massage. When asked if the woman was licensed or trained, Watson said he was not sure.

In the deposition, Watson also faced questions about driving about 30 minutes out of town for a massage and bringing his own towel. The attorney asked if he thought that was a little “bit weird.”

“It is what it is,” Watson said.

Negligence? Any of the attorneys here want to weigh in on this one?
 

Plaintiffs suing Deshaun Watson add negligence claims to lawsuits over massages
 

Two of the women who are suing NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson amended their lawsuits this week to add claims of negligence and gross negligence, arguing that Watson knew of his own sexual proclivities in massage sessions but failed to take precautions to prevent a reoccurrence of them.
 

By adding these new causes of action, they potentially widen the net of discoverable evidence they can obtain before trial and also add another way to recover damages in their lawsuits. They are among 22 women who have sued Watson and accused him of sexual misconduct during massage sessions in 2020 and early 2021.
 

The attorney for the 22 women, Tony Buzbee, told USA TODAY Sports Thursday that more lawsuits will be adding causes of action for negligence and gross negligence.

One of the best things that could happen for NFL owners right now is for Watson to have something new creep up to the extent that he gets a severe suspension. Let the Browns eat a quarter billion dollars for fans to watch Jacoby Brisset.

I would have gone much more obscure.  Something like a "John Bolles" reference.

IIRC NFL players have to be on the roster or injury list for at lease 6 games to accrue a season

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Baker just refuses to show up until late in the season

At Home With Baker Mayfield:

 

Baker opens envelope.

Baker, looking at his options: "I think I'll go with the Flo".

The Texans countered with a box of tissues. 

 

The Plaintiffs asked for the Texans to throw in a box of Wet Wipes and that was where they settled. A happy ending for all.

the money grab will not end until all options are exhausted

 

the biggest hammer to force a settlement was the refusal of other teams to trade while the cases were pending.

that's gone

next big threat was Goodell mandating he be placed on the the exempt list

that's gone

Suspension?

not likely until the cases are finalized (by trial or settlement)

criminal threats are gone, indicating any evidence is sketchy at best

 

now, need to make up stuff to stay in the news
