The soy boys on this site would have a conniption. They can’t believe these guys would use fame and money to get laid. What a monster. These poor girls thought they were being flown in from halfway across the country for a massage lol

In no way would I condone inappropriate and/or unwanted contact or advances towards any woman. 

But I do agree with this statement. You know why you were requested - usually consistent with how you present yourself on social media outlets. If he forced someone to do something they didn't want to do, then that's a completely different story. If he presented a proposal, then... we're all adults here. And no, I have not been following this story and don't know the details.

Eeehhh, sounds like the same old "David Tepper wants him" speculation we've heard a hundred times before. "Committed to finding a quarterback", "could be inclined", maybe this, maybe that, shampoo, rinse, repeat.

I'd add that "League source" is pretty frequently someone's agent, and isn't likely within the Panthers organization or it probably would have said so.

With a situation like this whispers and speculation and league sources are all there is. Has anyone from any team front office given a public indication they are pursuing Watson? The most I've seen recently is Joe Ellis with the Broncos and all he said was that he can't comment on a player under contract from another team. Nobody wants the league on their back over tampering.

Yeah, it's...not at all like you're imagining it.

The women involved are licensed massage therapists, not Instagram models. To a woman, they tell pretty much the same story of unwanted advances. But two (and I think maybe now three) have accused Watson of forcing oral sex.

If you want to get a genuine understanding of the story, I'd recommend this article from Sports Illustrated. It gives you a pretty good summary of things.

I can go with this.  I'm shaky on him myself.

Sometimes that's a cover for illicit activity.

Bob Kraft for example. His massage therapists are probably half way across the globe by now.

Does "massage" always have a "happy ending"?

Well, duh, if you've got enough $.

These girls were rounded up in a class action sort of way kinda like a lawyer would do.

There is slime all over the whole beef and subsequent witch hunt.

Rich guy playing "hardball". Does that change my opinion of Watson or the "massage" industry? No.

Nobody was talking about "happy endings" until Watson refused to return, they all were paid and happy.

I'm pretty sure you haven't read a single word of the actual story.

I did. 

I just don't think every NFL player that's got a "massage" should be labeled a criminal. That's a big bag of worms. As far as should he be valued as a person,player? Yes.

These people often seek them out to offer their "services"

Uh, yeah. Nobody's done anything even remotely like that.

For the record though, most NFL players find a good massage therapist and stick with them. They don't try to find a different one every week.

Why shouldn't a player do it when their bosses(ex.Kraft) are doing it too.

It's hypocritical for anybody in the NFL to take this seriously if Bob and others are involved in the same behavior.

So if Bob Kraft were to hit his wife does that mean domestic violence becomes okay too?

This is an incredibly stupid argument.

      LT Ikem Ekwonu wants to remain in Carolina long term but has no timeline for an extension

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Curious what his price is, but definitely think we need to resign him. Hard to find a quality tackle - he's definitely improved and having a stable guard in lewis beside him has helped a ton. Still needs to work on the false start and holding penalties though

      Yeah, you want actual Panthers fans to succeed. Same with poor Will Levis a few years ago. You just wish the local ACTUAL Panthers fans(very rare in the first place), pan out.  But, alas, it is what it is. I don't know if it is as simple as having Ikey switch to RT immediately. I think the cleanest switch would have been to attempt that for him as a LG. But, we spent a fuging shitload of dough on our IOL.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.
