    I believe there a lot people tuning in to see Foster, AJ, and Nuk because of their fantasy teams and then flip the channel to a different game when the Texans don't have the ball. And of course people watch when they're playing in a prime time game...

    Yea sure.... No one in other countries know who Dream is... Whatever you say.

    I see you're trying to do everything you can to knock dream... First you complain about the way he talks and now you try to dog him in a response to a post were he wasn't mentioned. And on top of that you didn't even know he wanted nothing to do with companies like Nike and Reebok. Great job.

    Are people filling a stadium to give JJ Watt love after a loss?

    I lived in Houston during LUV YA BLUE, PHI SLAMA JAMA and THE CHAMPIONSHIPS...

    If JJ Watt has anywhere NEAR that popularity now... it isn't evident on a national level... (I presently live in vegas...)

    I will seriously consider this issue when JJ leads the Texans to two championships.

    If JJ Watt is the reason our team wins 1 superbowl title...he will instantly be the greatest thing in the city of Houston. Period. Football is king, and this city would go nuts...NFL>>>>>>>>>>>>>NBA

    The problem with Watt is he's not a quarterback.

    As much as Watt is talked about, only a fool or someone with an agenda would be believe zero non-Texan fans watch games for Watt. Using Fantasy as a cop out only gives credence to my point about defensive players having a more difficult time getting viewers. People are watching Watt and looking at his YouTube highlights.


    Well, I mentioned Dream was great and my favorite player. Olajuwon was also in my signature before this convo even stared. Guess that means I'm doing everything to dog him.

    You just need a tissue.


    I'm not gonna keep arguing with your stubborn, agenda driven self.
    Good day

    That's interesting... Some may refute that though.

    Which means people aren't running to the TV to watch the Texans because of J.J... Which makes him popular (by your standards) because he's a commercial star. Prime Time Sanders is a defensive player that pops in my mind that most wanted to see.

    And Fantasy Football is the reason football is king dude. Where you been...???

    Dream isn't your favorite player... Stop lying. Lol...

    And bigtexxx has a MLK quote on his signature too. So what.

    Change the question to:

    Is JJ Watt more popular in his fourth year than (H)Akeem was in his fourth year?

    Dream has never been more popular than watt is even with the championships so I have no idea what changing the question to this would even matter.

    It may not matter to you, but there are other posters on this board.

    People are equating career accomplishments to popularity, even though that's not the question at hand.

    I always wanted Dream to be more visible off the court. His game was flashy though.. his highlights are beastly.
