Just watch this and you will understand why the Texans would do it. Marlins ex-president flat out said teams will lie about players to lessen the backlash for trading/releasing them.
I'm surprised the PA for any sports league hasn't pointed at this & used it for leverage.
Also, I live in Houston. Tony Buzbee is a piece of shyt.
Real talk breh anyone who has been watching sports for 15 to 20 years should know this. The teams purposely leak stuff to the media to dirty players names. The NFL does it the best because, the NFLPA Union is weak, the league always has an incentive to lower players salaries or dispose of them when they are no longer needed.
I mean anyone who followed the big ben story knows the steelers and the league had ESPN running interference on the sexual assault issue at the bar.
And if you want to go down this worm hole....NFL security keeps tabs on players and knows every single thing they do. This is all known and been known for decades. Its NFL securities job to know this and why when these kats get busted by the laws...the law asks NFL security for all the info they have.
If you think I am lying go read up on vick and how all the dog fighting info on vick came from NFL security. The feds literally asked NFL security for all the evidence on vicks dog fighting.
And thats why I never ever believed the pats and league BS that they had no idea that aaron hernandez was a dope dealer and killer. Cause best believe NFL security knew.
