JJ Watt has the friendliest mic'd up performance I've ever seen

This will only further fuel the fire on the NFL sub reddit that the Texans and their fans are the nicest people in football.
 
JJ Watt, nice guy at the core -- monster on the field.

Reminds me of the scene from Barron Munchausen when Albrecht (the strongest man in the world) is dressed in a tutu and serving tea.

And says:
"I don't want to be big and strong, I want to be dainty.."

Great player, kind of a lame mic'd up performance. He even admitted it to Barwin. He's not much of a trash talker out there.

Him and Yanda was the friendliest competition I've seen. Yanda even apologized for a cheap shot at the end. Hilarious.

I never realized how coordial a lot of the NFL players are

I guess I shouldn't post there that I usually smile a little bit when one of the guys on our team helps an opponent up off the ground?

The only time I don't appreciate that kind of sportsmanship is against the Titans. There's just something in my blood that hates the Titans and all the Houston residents that remained Titans fans. :texflag:

It usually just happens when two great players square off against each other. (See Ray Lewis and Arian Foster), the way Yanda treated Watt speaks volumes about how the rest of the league views him as a football player. Jon Runyan and Michael Strahan use to battle the hell out of each other, but they also had the upmost respect for each other as well.
 
The Texans started making it a point to only help their own guys up somewhere around 2010. You will rarely, if ever see them help the opposition up. I don't think it suggests that they are poor sports. Much like you see in many of the mic'd up sessions, some of the players are very respectful of each other.

But as a team building exercise, I think the Texans only help their guys up. Maybe they are coached to do so, I don't know.

Every time you have to drag your body up off the turf it's going to make you a little bit more tired.
 
It was actually a refreshing "mic'd up", not having to listen to all the petty trash talking. I enjoyed the sportsmanship and level headed play of both Watt and Yanda...those are the best ones. They respect each other and their skills, battle on during the game and civilized people after.
 
I thought the best part was after the game when #73 came up and apologized for a cheap shot on Watt. Now that's respect.

I never thought of it as being poor sports, just a better class of player. Not helping the opponent up isn't wrong or mean or poor form, but helping them up is classier and in better taste than not.

To me, I think it sets a good example for the kids that are out there playing football. It shows them that they should still have respect for the people they're competing against.

On another note, I'm sick of the players running to the officials trying to get them to pull their flags. Hopefully the competition committee will introduce a new penalty, "Crying/Whining". Loss of down and -10 yards if it's against the offense, automatic first down and +10 yards if it's against the defense.
 
yeah i was going say Yanda is a pretty good Guard i wish we had him he could deff sure up that RG spot but o well I think we got good depth a RG has is .......
 
Good Lord! Some of you guys claim to be bikers and can't figure it out?

YIKES!

Figures a gixxer guy would have no clue. All bikes aren't streetbikes man. I was going motocross. Which, for those of you too young to know any better:

Honda = Red
Yamaha = Blue
Suzuki = Yellow
Kawasaki = Green

Street bikes can be any damned color.. And some are so tacky they should be outlawed!!

Must say I'm more on the side of the motoGP/street bike colours.

Honda, Orange in Repsol colours/White with Purple and Red bits in street colours.

Suzuki obviously the Rizla blue

Kawasaki always green, although my next door neighbour's Ninja is a stunning orange colour.

And then the Yama's have long been Blue in MotoGP.

I don't think I'd be upset with that.

And to clarify, players having the captains (or whoever it is that are allowed to call timeouts from the field of play) going to refs to mention repeated rule violations would be fine at first. It's the players that act like 2-year olds and all but throw tantrums that I'm tired of.

Also, they need to get their asses back to the huddle, line of scrimmage, or sideline, instead of crying.

That was my favorite bit also. They're human, they're professionals... they've got to keep it real :)
