“The sexual assault allegations against Deshaun Watson bring those standards front and center,” Riley wrote. “This note serves as a reminder that as we report, analyze and describe those allegations, those who bring them and the person they are brought against, we must approach the story with fairness and care toward all involved. Given the frequency of content we are creating, on a growing number of print and digital channels, our editors must also be more vigilant with our oversight of coverage on all platforms.”

The email went on to remind staffers that they always represent the Chronicle during any media appearances, and must do so with the permission of a supervisor.

“Facts are good. Analysis is OK. Opinion, speculation or baseless assertions are not. We won’t tolerate that sort of commentary.”

"There's no criminal charges. Yeah, it's a money grab and it started off that way, and once the lawyer put it out after they didn't want to acquiesce and pay the money demands, then they put out a call for more. And that's what he's doing by using the Instagram, he's trying to attract more cases. Basically, it's ambulance chasing ... I tell you what, most of the legal community in Houston thinks low of what Tony Buzbee is doing. It's looked down upon.

Deshaun Watson is a guy that's highly respected. I've known him for years, been around him not just at the stadium. I've been to the charity events, a few social settings. I know his entire camp.

I'm skeptical. Let's put it like that, yeah. I tell you this, I want to be careful. I'm not dismissing that it could be true in a sense that I wasn't there ... The people that know what happened are him and those alleged women who haven't put their name on it. It's all a Jane Doe situation, so we don't know the women, there's no way to vet it. There's no way to really look into it.

I'm not saying that I'm not [pro-Watson]. I don't know them, I know him. I'm not going to throw the guy under the bus before I have some proof. I don't feel like I have the proof.

He's had impeccable character, that's accurate. He's a guy that grew up in public housing, single mom, had cancer, he was a ballboy for the Falcons, had a bunch of jobs. He was a really underprivileged kid growing up and became a football star. So it's been a meteoric rise. For Deshaun, now that he's got the money, perhaps he's a target. That was a point that was made to me by David Cornwell, who's represented a lot of the players in personal conduct cases.

It's easier, actually, when you go after someone with an impeccable reputation in many ways, because they have the means to pay. In the case of someone like this, Deshaun Watson, they're more likely to pay to make the whole thing go away. In his case, it's kind of like you don't negotiate with terrorists. People are demanding money, they're asking for money.

It kept escalating, it kept going up and up and up, you start talking about more and more funds. I'm not going to say how much it got to, but my understanding is that there was an admission ... that this was just a money grab. But they didn't expect for this to get to this point where there's other cases. That's the risk you run.
