I read it in the tones of Duran Duran. ”Come Undone” seems particularly apropos in the wake of the Watson fiasco. Panthers are still trying to figure it out for themselves.

If settlement was the angle, your leverage was going public. A settlement offer of under 1 million was extended and rejected from what Watson has said right? I don’t quite understand the assertion that “he”ll write some checks or be in jail”. I’m assuming you mean a judgment for something will be entered and he’ll have to pay his dues. Unless a criminal complaint is filed, this is not on the table. Last, you posit he could just get off and his pay should suffer nonetheless? Eh, who knows what happened...that’s why we have evidence laws and courts to review them. It’s also why we have ethics laws for attorneys and why it’s wrong for Buzbee to be dramatizing the allegations of his complaint in a press conference.

Hehe, I have not paid close enough attention to Texas politics and attorneys but I’ll assume it’s substantial based on your representations. What is it based on in your opinion?

By dragging ostensible rape victims into the court of public opinion? Depleting the earning potential of your projected judgment debtor? No, please explain....

Beyond that, I reserve any judgment in any direction. There are several streams of reported facts that just don’t quite line up. We’ll see. I would say that any judge worth their salt should be seriously evaluating the nature of the representation and dividing it accordingly

This press conference, while ironically neatly serving as a summary of the allegations, adds nothing to the big picture other than naked dramatization of the allegations in the Complaint. How are you helping your client with this (which is any attorneys obligation)?

Thank you SizzleBuzz. Although I often find myself disagreeing with your pro-corporate stances, I do think any discussion on this issue would be well served by people at least listening to and considering this.

Was there any substance to Buzbee’s press conference reveal of evidence today? Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but the other thread was closed.

Chris Harris and that one year he laid the wood on everybody. Quick googling looks like he’s with the WFT but sadly couldn’t find any of the highlights.

It’s a seller’s market right now with starting qb’s because of the amount of teams in demand. The rich draft class at the position also kind of fuels the frenzy. This speculation is just hedging bets. Reporters have nothing to lose with the speculation. It drives talk. If it doesn’t work out, well that was a deal that was “unlikely” anyway. If it does you’re now trustworthy. Let’s pay attention to assertions and their sources.

Bigger, faster receivers have more opportunities to receive over smaller, slower defenders. Drafting is inherently an exercise in probability judgments, 40 times go a long way in informing those probability calculations to the extent that they inform drafters about how fast the individual can get from A to B. Generally, this goes along way towards informing potential drafters because of its foundational suggestion-someone that cant be covered has a greater chance to receive, GENERALLY. But the physicality consideration is only baseline. It allows extrapolations about potential but there are many factors that can ultimately negate both realization and application of that potential. Ultimately, us on the outside dont have access to the facts that these decisions turn on. And how those "facts" are internalized isn;t necessarily science either.
