The Josh Innes Show - Random Thoughts: Watson's Return

Episode Date: December 1, 2022

There is ample reason to hate Deshaun Watson. He appears to be a serial predator and a sociopath. That said, there's football reason to hate him. That's why I hope there's a massive crowd in Houston Sunday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You know, I really wish the Texans were actually good. If the Texans were good, this Deshaun Watson return to NRG would be spectacular. As it is, it's fine, but it's not spectacular. I wanted it to be just balls out, well, bad choice of words. I wanted it to really just be awesome, you know? I wanted it to, you know, like, man, now, I think there'll be some heat, but I don't even think people care enough to waste their money to go to the Texans game just to dump on Deshaun Watson. They're so bad and so unwatchable and have so little going for them.

And the games are so boring and awful that I don't think anybody will spend money to go watch the Cleveland Browns take on the Texans. Wish they would. I'd be great if it was sold out and loud and obnoxious and people were bringing like giant dildo pictures. I'd be great. But of course that's not going to happen. But like obviously the story about all this is that Deshaun Watson's probably a serial predator that pleasured himself on women who didn't want to be pleasured on. And that he's a narcissist and he's probably a, I mean, he's clearly a wacko. He has no idea about anything that he does wrong. He has no

accountability at all. He seems like a real shitty person, right? All that said, maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Maybe all these women are lying. I doubt it, but maybe they are. So anyway, Deshaun Watson. But the other story that's involved in this, and anybody that's a Houston person knows it, is that even if Deshaun Watson had never masturbated on all these women or tried to force them to have oral sex with him or got into a weird baby yoga pose and probably tried to suck his own dick, whatever he's doing, none of that is even in there. None of that's a talking point because obviously it wouldn't have happened. But there was still a year of Deshaun Watson being a giant piece of shit to the Texans organization.

Like, let's just ignore the bad, that horrible stuff for a second that happened. And look at the fact that you've got a guy who for over a year essentially held the franchise hostage, shit on the fan base, shit on the people, said, I don't want to be here and I'm out. Now, you have the right to play anywhere you want, work anywhere you want, do whatever you want. That is totally your right. You can do whatever the hell you want to do, and that's cool. But the way this guy basically hung him out to dry, the way he hung Cully out to dry. Now, maybe Cully was a stooge and was never going to work out, and he was a hire that had no chance to work. But imagine you're this David Cully, and you go in there for that job, and Deshaun Watson's

like, yeah, go fuck yourself. Now, you're not going to say no to that job. You're still going to take the job, and you deserve some of the blame for that because you weren't good at the job. You didn't seem to be growing at the job, and you decided to sign on the dotted line to take the millions of dollars to do the job. You didn't seem to be growing at the job, and you decided to sign on the dotted line to take the millions of dollars to do the job. So, again, you have accountability there as well.

But imagine you're this David Culley, and you go in there thinking, boy, I sure as hell hope that Deshaun Watson, one of the five, six, seven best quarterbacks in the league at some moments, probably top three, four, an elite-level talent, that this guy will be there, and that would be great because I'd have a chance, and you might. And then you're David Culley, and you get in there there and Deshaun's like yeah go fuck yourself I'm not interested in you you're a piece of shit peace out all right if you're ready to win some real cash during the basketball playoffs you got to check out pick six from DraftKings when it comes

So while the big storyline around Deshaun will be Busby having the women in the stands and this is his first game back after it's pretty obvious that the guy is a massive creep, all that, that's a huge story, and that's the bigger national story, and it should be.

I mean, it's a huge story that a guy who probably sexually assaulted dozens of women is now back in the league and has the biggest contract in the world and ultimately had to pay very little for it. What did he miss? Ten games? Twelve games? Eight games? Whatever it was.

He had to miss very little for it. His reputation takes a hit, but half the people are going to like him anyway and half are going to hate him. And there's going to be a bunch of people that like him just because the other people hate him. I mean, like, this guy's life is not is not ruined guy's life is in fine shape probably lives in a mansion about to become the starting quarterback for the browns makes the biggest contract the biggest amount of money of any football player ever dude's life doesn't suck you're probably doing endorsements again before you know it like kobe like he'll be fine and i get why that's the national story and it should be. But let us not forget

that basically he and Bill O'Brien basically bent this organization over a couple years ago and fucked it pretty good. When Bill O'Brien became the GM and was bad at his job, when Deshaun Watson said, I'm not going to play anymore. The reason why the Texans are where they are right now is in large part due to the fact that Deshaun Watson refused to play for the organization. And while we can all say, hey, he's probably justified in thinking it's a disaster of an organization, and maybe you don't even blame him. Maybe say, I might have done the same thing. It doesn't change the fact that this guy was an asshole to the organization and got paid a lot of money to play here and basically told the fan base, the entire franchise, and everybody to fuck off.

So even if there were no issues with the sex stuff or anything, there's ample reason to fucking hate Deshaun Watson. There's ample reason to tell him to go fuck himself. There's ample reason to be jacked up and amped up. There's ample reason to want to be loud and obnoxious and make that guy's life a living hell for three hours. Reality is it's not going to happen. Reality is the stadium will be half full. Reality is even if tickets are $5, which you can probably find on StubHub, even then people aren't going to be like, yep, ready to go there and be loud.

The people who were going to be there are going to be there either way. And I don't think that Deshaun Watson coming back to town is going to bring people back to the stadium. Maybe I'm wrong. I'll tune in on Sunday and see. I don't think that's going to be the case. I'd like it to be for all the reasons we've mentioned, but it won't be. But just remember that Deshaun Watson is a giant asshole. Those women can't forget because doing that baby pose, he probably showed them his asshole. But Deshaun Watson is a gigantic asshole. Those women can't forget because doing that baby pose, he probably showed him his asshole. But Deshaun Watson is a gigantic asshole. Even before the Predator. You got the Predator

who's an asshole as well. But Deshaun Watson fucked the Texans organization pretty good. Held them hostage pretty good. Fucked David Cully pretty good. So there's plenty of reason to want to dump on this guy and hope bad things happen to him.
