How latest NFL barbs aimed at Watson expose league-wide hypocrisy
Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee spoke at a press conference on Friday and reveled that currently there are seven lawsuits that have been filed against Deshaun Watson for misconduct. He also said that he's now representing 12 women and five more lawsuits will soon be filed.
Buzbee also mentioned his office has been in contact with more than 10 other women with similar accounts. One of the most surprising moments during the press conference was Buzbee claiming that one of the incidents occurred in the last month.
Finally, Buzbee said he's been in contact with HPD and will cooperate with their investigation and the NFL's. He also made sure to address a conspiracy theory that alleges the Texans somehow put Buzbee up to this based on him living in the same neighborhood as owner, Cal McNair.
Buzbee put that to bed saying, "I've had no contact with the Texans, none."
We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available. If you want more details on the first three lawsuits, you can read about them here.

Quantrill (4-9) permitted seven runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Jakob Marsee hit his first career homer for Miami, and Eric Wagaman also went deep. The Marlins had won five in a row before Monday’s 8-2 loss in the series opener.
Marsee singled home Heriberto Hernandez in the second. He connected for a solo shot in the fifth and walked in the seventh. He also made a rangy catch in center in the eighth.
Astros outfielder Jesús Sánchez had two hits against his former team. He was acquired in a trade with Miami last week.
He caught up with Julia Morales after the big win!
