Landry:
-12/15 media types at a dinner (hand selected) and basically said a lot of things that I thought were hilarious.
-Easterby decided he would control the narrative and said a little too much. This guy is a slime ball with no integrity.
List of stuff Easterby said on September 2nd that told me all I needed to know about this guy:
-Started off the dinner talking about the Astros. Goes on a big rant about fans not buying in and takes a process. Other people in the room are being more appropriate than me. I interrupt him and said I hope you’re not comparing your situation to the Astros.
-Kept going on, talking about tracking devices. Then he said something ridiculous. Remember the equipment guy that got fired? Jack sits there and goes “This is the craziest thing about the 2020 season. That game against Green Bay where we lost, there were four players on our team that had on the wrong pants.” … I’m like is this guy serious?
-He also talked about his time in New England. He said with a straight face the reason he left New England was because Robert Kraft wanted him to clone Bill Belichick. He said “I couldn’t do that to Bill.” (Landry) I swear to God on the Holy Bible.
-He carried around notes with quotes from people he knew and statistics asking people to write stories positive about him.
-Said he had nothing to do with firing Brian Gaine. Said Cal decided he didn’t want Brian Gaine anymore.
-Blamed Cal for Bill O’Brien. “I knew for a long time no one could work with Bill O’Brien and Cal kept letting it go.” Volatile personality and why BO’B had to go.
-Best thing you’ve done here? He said I want to take credit for hiring Nick Caserio.
-Easterby said he has never lied in his life.
-Kept talking about new facilities. Said the Texans have gotten cheap and were behind the times. Said he wanted an Apple/Google feel. Hinted Cal McNair wasn’t giving them the facilities they needed to succeed.
-Easterby challenged me to go on record about a player who publicly criticized him.
Lopez:
-Easterby was a fraud, a conman, a coward, a mercenary, a serpent, a sociopath. He did more damage to a professional sports organization in this city than Bud Adams did, than John McMullen ever did, than Jerry Glanville did.
