Deshaun Watson is being Cosby'd

 The count is up to 13-14 actual lawsuits, and Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee has said that he's now looking at at least two dozen more against Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson.

The question, however, has been raised. Why is Buzbee the only attorney handling this case? Oh, sure, when all those charges were brought against Bill Cosby, Gloria Allred represented some, but not all, of the victims.

To this point, Watson and his attorney, Rusty Hardin, have kept silent, waiting for the appropriate time to answer. However, that time is now.

"If you're gonna make a move, you better make it now!"--Eddie Rabbitt, "Step by Step", circa 1980.

What they're waiting for, it seems, is for Buzbee to slip and trip himself up. A commentator on Mike Florio's Pro Football Talk webpage suggested he heard rumors that at least two of the women were being coached, and others were recruiting the rest of the victims, obviously looking at a hefty payday, but not if they're called out for fraud.


A professional ambulance chaser.

Watson & Hardin cannot afford to wait any longer. The longer they wait, the more pressure Buzbee will apply, whether it's legit or not. What would an ex-Marine who failed in a Mayoral bid two years ago stand to gain from pursuing these cases against one man? As Florio notes, Buzbee is coming off as being more of a showman than a legit barrister here, and that won't look good if Watson can prove his innocence.

Stay tuned.
