    Love JJ but he gets effing annoying sometimes.

    Questions if he could play again- rushes back to start the season.
    Says he couldnt walk after surgery- Well, no chit. You just got out of back surgery. If you wouldve had your appendix removed, you wouldnt be able to walk after surgery either JJ.

    I think I have a man crush on Bill O'Brien.


    He's the man. He's the perfect coach for this team, and a Houston team in general. It's about time we have coach that doesn't beat around the bush or tell people what they want to hear.

    Parking is $15 but the train ride is free around trip. I have never seen it completely full but I have never come really late either.

    He's talking about the first surgery back in January. That was probably his first major operation under the knife so I'd understand him questioning himself after something like that.

    they sewed the man back together. Are you kidding? hes not allowed a moment of self doubt or a moment of vulnerability in sharing that? Some people.

    You want wife beaters, dbags, homophobes, drug addicts and the lot there's plenty of teams and players for you to follow.

    "Minor" back surgery is like "soft" rock. There's nothing minor about splitting your back open and there's no such thing as rock and roll that is easy on the ears.

    This is all marketing by Watt's PR team, that way if he has a big game on Sunday, his superman image will get even larger. Watt is the John Cena of the NFL attitude wise.

    And this is why so many people are annoyed by him. He tries really hard to maintain a certain image.

    I dont care if everyone outside the city of Houston gets annoyed with Watt's PR moves/image decisions...The dude goes ALL out for this city. Anyone that is willing to do so, has MY respect. This city should be thankful for Watt...its why we are even talked about nationally...
