Longtime sports business reporter Darren Rovell made what he thought was a humorous observation at the start of training camp for the Houston Texans this week, but JJ Watt did not seem entertained.
On Thursday, Rovell tweeted a photo of Watt’s training camp badge and commented that Watt posed for it “like he’s ready to tackle someone.” Considering he’s an NFL defensive lineman, that kind of makes sense, doesn’t it? Watt thinks so, which is why he decided to embarrass Rovell.
That’s literally what I get paid to do Darren. https://t.co/FKcSqoRtfz

To Rovell’s credit, he took the beating in stride.
Oh boy…rough start this morning.

You win some, you lose some. Rovell knows that as well as anyone. This one definitely goes in the loss column for him, which is nothing new.
