    PR Rep. It was really only the former Texans that were complaining. They were drinking. These two women came up to the table and told them how much they appreciated them. As they were walking away the guys started laughing and joking about them being "chickenheads." The women heard it and came back to the table almost in tears. It was weird.

    Has there really been any legitimate claims of HGH or steroids? besides some random person posting on the internet?

    Regardless, why would the league go out of it's way to cover it up in his second year? If they caught him now, maybe I see them having the motivation because he's been propped up so much. But in only his second I think that's a bit of a stretch.

    Such utter bull****; they suspend guys an entire season for smoking weed; are we really supposed to believe the NFL would "cover up" a positive PED test? I don't buy it. He would have been a second-year pro.

    I'm not saying he is using or that the league is covering up. Just that the claim, question, or accusation has been brought up in the past. I think a reporter even asked him once. I'm sure it is somewhere on the Internet.

    Would anyone be surprised if Watt was doing something "extra"?

    I hope not. And if he truly is, I hope he never gets caught.

    JJ Watt's 2nd season was in 2012, but NFL didn't start testing for HGH until October 2014.

    I wouldn't be surprised just by remembering the kind of monster seasons he's had. Only Lawrence Taylor has had the same amount of Defense Player of the Year award, first player with 2 seasons of 20+ sacks in NFL history, etc. It's almost too good to be true.

    That's a technicality. Didn't Cushing test positive for HCG in 2010?

    Eh. I don't really want to call players out. Probably shouldn't have posted. I doubt many ex Texans have congregated in Houston lately.

    Also I agree with the lack of surprise comments. I think many too idealistic of a view of JJ to consider such a thing. Similar circumstances with the Patriots and Brady. On the other hand I could see why disgruntled teammates might make something up.

    Yes. I didn't realize Andre was there until later.

    Also I should probably stop myself here. I'm an eavesdropper not an insider.

    Even if he is he isn't on near what LT( The guy who Screamin A and Skip Useless want to claim as not an even close comparison to Watt) was on in his hayday.

    Oh, all the guys on defense? The guys he helped make rich? :p Tossing around HGH accusations!? :eek:

    Chris Myers, someone?, someone?, Brian Cushing?, Johnathan Joseph, someone, Andre Johnson, Brooks Reed, someone, Antonio Smith, Connor Barwin Shaun Cody on the left with his thumb up or Shaun Cody on the right in red? #BullsOnParade now #WattOnDisplay

    Cushing was very good before Watt. Barwin has been better post-Texans. Joseph got his money before ever playing as a Texan and has earned it all by himself. Shaun Cody hasn't gotten rich. Antonio Smith isn't making that much money post-Watt and some would argue he helped Watt make his money; but I'll still give you Smith and maybe Reed and that's it. Those are the only two you could argue Watt helped made them rich.

    Amobi Okoye....the guy who played like a trash heap while he was here, then took potshots at the organization on his way out.
