Can we talk a little bit about what Cal McNair is about to do to the NFL, and the leverage owners have had over players for roughly 100 years?

I would be FASCINATED to know what the NFL league office and other owners are thinking about the Watson/Texans standoff

Every 8-10 years, the owners and players negotiate multi-billion dollar CBA agreements, where the owners are trying (and succeeding) to maintain leverage over players through the salary cap, franchise tag, penalties over holdouts, etc. etc.
if a 25 year old QB forces his way out of an NFL team, it's a Crossing the Rubicon moment. It's never happened before in NFL history, and it would be almost solely due to Cal McNair's inability to properly run an NFL franchise
if the Texans trade Deshaun Watson, it sets a major precedent. I don't expect it to happen often, but if it happens once, it will happen again with another young QB
The Texans already screwed the rest of the NFL by allowing Bill O'Brien to make the incredibly impulsive Laremy Tunsil trade, getting hammered in the contract negotiation, and completely re-setting the market for left tackles in the league, which other teams now have to deal with
It's one thing for Jalen Ramsey and Jamal Adams, two star DBs, to force themselves out of losing situations. A QB is way, way, way bigger than that.
If Watson wins this standoff, it makes one owner very happy, but Cal McNair would have basically destroyed what NFL owners have built and desperately maintained for a long, long time
and I think there's a conversation that needs to be had about how exactly it is that Cal McNair is "qualified" to own the Houston Texans.

The culture is so bizarre that people are discussing the following questions behind the scenes:
if the Texans trade Watson to the Jets, would they be able to even draft Justin Fields, another David Mulugheta client?

Would they draft Zach Wilson, a good prospect but one who is Mormon?
I would really like to know, big picture, how it is that Bob and Janice McNair chose Cal to be the one to take over the Texans.

I don't know who this Cary McNair guy is, but his bio seems way better than Cal's - https://t.co/SkowcJRQSR
I've been super critical of Tilman Fertitta and still have never bet a human being who likes working for him, but by comparison, at least the Rockets have seemingly hired a good coach and promoted a GM who's made 2 pretty interesting deals
if the Texans trade Watson, I'm genuinely wondering how radioactive this situation in Houston could become. Will other people follow Andre Johnson in being vocally critical of Cal, on the record? Will guys like Tunsil/Cunningham/Cooks also ask out?

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
