As it has been explained to me by my friend, some of the issues being brought to light (by the SI articles, etc.) border on EEOC complaints.

Also, Cal's messaging (both externally and internally) did not work. Expect more players to start speaking out. They don't want JE in the bldg.

Many inside the org think it will eventually boil down to JE or DW4 very soon. If the league sees an uprising from the entire team against the ownership/management, they are going to step in (very quietly or not) for PR purposes alone. This is not a good look for the Texans OR the NFL.

Been out of pocket all day doing family stuff, but catching up on texts from sources:
Texans are leaning toward accommodating J.J. and he'll likely be moved. And Deshaun is, in fact, legit alienated.
"Pretty much irreparable," I'm told.
Also: "You'll hear from J.J. next."

more tidbits...

"Easterby is the groveling ex-girlfriend playing victim and Cal can't see it"

JE is telling everyone he can in the building that he is going to file a defamation suit against SI.

Apparently there have been death threats against JE which has also raised the league's eyebrows.

My friend thinks that due to all of this, the Texans are going to hire a "Dusty Baker" to be a stop-gap. No one wants this job.

That idiot isn’t filing a lawsuit against anybody, and he’s obviously lying about the death threats.

I didn’t think Cal would be any sort of improvement over his father, regardless of how low a bar he set, and I correctly assumed he was stupid, but I did not allow for the possibility that he might be insane.

Could someone provide the quick version on Easterby's alleged misconduct? I missed it with my other battles.

As for the "Dusty Baker" to calm the locker room, you mean to say Romeo doesn't do that already?

Regarding the first question, there has been talk about required Bible study/prayer times...keyword being "required". This is where some of the "too many people think they are in charge" statement came from. Why can JE force me to be somewhere if he isn't my coach?

Regarding the second question, they are interviewing Frazier today. I have not heard anything about Romeo, but I would not be surprised if he retires. I have been told that the longer this goes on, more people (including my friend) will just leave.
