Mr. Scot

Yeah...ouch

I was really just asking that as a general question, not specific to Watson. Florio did make a point on that front though. If Watson can easily recall these 18 masseuses, what does that say about the defense's claim that he has no idea who the ones accusing him are?

That's likely what the play design is. Plus, sad to say it but that's an improvement over what we did last year.

I'd like to think no one would put watching their favorite team win football games as a higher priority than people's lives, but sadly...

To be fair, their GM is pulling off some serious sh-t.

He's not. He just doesn't want to use the Houston Police, reportedly because the opposing attorney's son is a higher up in the department. (was discussed earlier)

Would you seek out a different masseuse every time though? Fifty massages is one thing. Having to find fifty different masseuses to do them seems like a lot of trouble.

Granted, we haven't been great at tight end, but we did just sign a decent one.

I suppose I can see that, but even as someone who likes massages I don't know that I'd want to do them daily.

Have fun on your first jury duty.

How many times have we (and others) gotten screwed by teams paying "great" money to "good" players? (and yes, I know we've done it ourselves as well)

I really can't see that with the other needs we've got and our having signed Denzel Perryman.

That's basically the "well he didn't rape me" defense. I don't know how effective that's gonna be. My other reaction to that is, just how many massages does one person need?

Already addressed the topic plenty, but generally with people who were a little more reasonable. Most of the debate with you has been about either your ridiculous standards for holding someone accountable or your attitude that you know better than women who've actually been in this situations how they should handle things. Those were easy clues that you were probably young. Frankly, my best suggestion to you would be to educate yourself some on this topic. Listen to or talk to someone who's actually been through something like this. Maybe you'll come to understand that it's not so simple as your mind wants to make it. Hopefully, you'll learn something.

Alge Crumpler used to give us fits, and he wasn't anywhere near as athletic as Kyle Pitts is.

Keep trying, kid. But like I said before, here's hoping that when you get a little life experience, you learn to be more mature than this (especially when it comes to women).

Devil's advocate here: Bridgewater has at least had a part in winning some games. Has Josh Rosen done anything of note?

So yeah, you're a kid. Explains a lot...

I don't really think that definition is exclusive to gunslingers. That's basically just a quarterback with confidence, and that can be true no matter what style of play you use.

I've said on an actual jury, kid. I'm guessing the closest you've ever been to that is a mock trial in your civics class. You know nothing.

A lot of women never come forward. Sad to say I know more than one. And none of their cases involved anybody rich, famous or powerful. An awful lot of defenses involve attacking the victim. Many a woman who has gone to trial said the experience was like being raped all over again. Trust me when I say a delay in reporting or pursuing action is not unusual at all.

Ah, but again, we're talking about civil cases here. The only requirement to win a civil case is to be more believable. Your standards of "won't believe it unless there's video / audio / whatever" wouldn't even stand up in a criminal court, much less a civil one. Like I said, every rapist who goes to court hopes they get someone like you in the jury. You're part of the problem.

As I and others have said, when you actually know someone who's been a victim of something like this, you're not surprised by that at all. Justice for cases of sexual assault is extremely difficult even under simple circumstances, and the circumstances around Watson are anything but simple. If you ever have a chance to talk to an actual victim, you learn that the way a man thinks about stuff like this is often completely off the mark.

Here's the thing: Sometimes, there's not. And no, there doesn't have to be, especially when the men in question are careful. Again, here's hoping if you ever have a wife or a daughter or anyone who suffers something of this sort, you learn to grow up a little bit.

Money, power and fame also help a lot of these guys get away with the stuff they do.
