J.J. Watt is tired of the media making a big deal out of everything he does.
That’s right, the guy who never shies away from the spotlight and loves documenting much of his life on social media wants the gossip about his personal life and rumors about when his playing career will end to stop.
Stop making stories out of non-stories. A bunch of guys made it to work today, not just me. I'm not retiring. I'm single. Anything else?

Watt’s tweet came shortly after word surfaced that he had made it to the Texans’ facility to work out on Monday despite severe flooding in Houston. How did people find out he made it to the facility after workouts were cancelled? Because Watt shared it on Snapchat, of course:
It appears JJ Watt did make it in today, despite the flooding. He snap chatted this photo about 40 minutes ago: pic.twitter.com/23rZ7TMaWJ

As for the other stuff, Watt opened up recently about how he will stop playing football as soon as he is not one of the best players in the game. He didn’t rule out the possibility that he could feel that way in a couple of years, which got people buzzing.
Then there’s the personal life. Watt recently went on what he called a “date” with a famous actress. How did we learn about it? Yup, you guessed it — Snapchat.
In other words, Watt is trying to have his cake and eat it. He wants everyone to know when he is doing stuff that he thinks is awesome, but he doesn’t want it to seem like he’s bragging. You can’t have it both ways, bro.
