PRESS CONFERENCE
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.
Opening Day is just days away for the Astros, and the biggest storyline leading up to the season has been Cam Smith. Smith put together an impressive spring, but many wondered if that would be enough to make the big league roster. Well, we don't have to wonder anymore.
Manager Joe Espada announced that Smith will start in right field against the Mets on Opening Day. And it gets even better, the Astros captured the moment Smith found out he made the club on video.
Be sure to watch the video below as Smith's mother breaks the exciting news to Houston's new slugger!
