Which would be dumb because he's *clearly* the most valuable player in football at this juncture.
Yep, doing commercials, stopping by a pee-wee league practice and buying your mom a new car make you a media whore.Because he does commercials and makes a couple of appearances on a TV show that makes him a media whore?
He's the best player the Houston Texans have seen. I wish he wasn't such a media whore, but that's just me.
I met a high school student, and she cried when I told her I know JJ Watt.

He has no shot at the MVP if we're not in the play offs.

okay.... Watt loses serious cool points for bad boogie moves.
I think a lot of the commercial money goes to charity.
I base than on what my Houston friends tell me, which is, he's on just about every commercial in Houston. He doesn't need the money, why the massive amount of commercials? He likes attention. No big deal, just an observation. That's the only turn-off in my book. In other words, I think Watt is awesome.
Disaacks, sorry to hurt your feelings. I clearly wasn't talking about anything but the attention he seeks. Geez, sorry for the sacrilege....lol.
Verizon and HEB are running a lot of commercials but I'd hardly say he was doing a ton of them. He does a few and they run them a ton of times...
Marketing
Disagree. A ton of commercials.
Please understand, I come from the Bill Hicks train of thought. I love JJ Watt, but hate his Doritos commercials (ala Jay Leno).
He's fantastic as a football player, that's where it ends for me. I just don't worship people.
I can agree with the bolded...
Don't know if I've seen the doritos commercial
Btw, I thought you were in Austin... you getting his commercials up there?
God yes...and they suck, all of them.
I think what started me on this was his commercial saying "this is the official [Ford] truck of JJ Watt and the Houston Texans."
Fast forward to the opener against the Redskins. They showed JJ coming to the stadium in a black sports car that had 450 horses if it had one.
My old school train of thought despised that. He's going to the Texans game, full of cash from the Ford company, and driving something else. Of all times to drive something else.
I'm not naive, but what a bullsh!t thing for a guy to whore a product and not use it.
I saw Peyton Manning eating a pizza once... and it WASN'T PAPA JOHN'S!!!!!!
Aaron Rogers rear ended me once. We exchanged insurance info and his was ALL STATE!!!!!
I saw LeBron James once... in A BURGER KING!!!!!
That's it. I've lost faith in humanity. If I can't trust a commercial shill, who can I trust?
"I've been a fan of Papa John's pizza for a long time, and now knowing John Schnatter, his team and the business intimately over the past year, I am thrilled to formally join Papa John's as a franchisee in partnership with the brand," Manning said. "It's a smart investment now and will be long after I'm done playing football. I'm particularly impressed by John's drive to make everything about Papa John's better along with his ambition and plan to continue growing the brand around the world. Also, Papa John's being the Official Pizza of the Denver Broncos makes this even more exciting."
The dude's a multi millionaire. Isn't it possible he owns more than one car? I guess I'm just used to watching celebrities sell products. It's marketing. I don't think Shaq and Tiger drive everywhere in a Buick. I don't think Pit Bull only drinks Dr. Pepper. I mean, Ford is the official truck/SUV of the Texans, Hyundai is the official car of the Texans, and BMW is the official luxury car of the Texans. I don't think it's a big deal if Watt doesn't drive a truck one day or McNair shows up in a Bentley.
BTW yes, Papa John's is the official Pizza of the Denver Broncos (and the Texans) -- according to Peyton Manning:

Yeah car makes this complaint all that much worse. Rich folks have one for each mood. Now if he has a pickup and it's not a Ford, then I can understand a complaint.
Where would he keep them? I read he is still in his same old house with a two car garage.
Wonder if he was just driving the same black Lexus he's had for years.
But my main point was Ford's a big boy and this isn't their first rodeo. If they wanted exclusive (or even to all Texans' events) they know how to get it.
My point, like yours I think, is that its a silly subject.
Yup.On a side note, I'm always baffled by marketing period. I simply find it incredible to believe there is anyone out there whose choice between Chevy, Dodge and Ford comes down to "well JJ drives a Ford."
Woah.... this is the second time this thread got strange. Offended/complaining about the vehicle he drives...
I guess some people view honesty in different lights.
Does the Papa John commercials ever tout themselves as the official pizza of Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos? If so, then if you ask me he's no more honest with the public than JJ Watt is if JJ doesn't drive a Ford truck
I dunno man, I heard Manning spent his last family vacation in Hawaii. Ohama must have been pissed at wasting all that money on him.Does Manning drive around only in a Buick Verano calling audibles? More to the point, does JJ Watt have a contract with Ford stating he only drives their brand to the stadium? im guessing the answer to both questions is "no". Advertising and marketing is dishonest by nature. Not Manning or Watt's dishonesty here.

(on if hes concerned about a trend forming after losing three games in a row by seven or less this year and nine by seven or less in 2013) Losing is a bad trend. I said it after the game, you give away points, youre not going to have too much success. We need to make sure we get all that figured out.
(on if what the Texans need to figure out is mental or physical) Its both. I mean, its concentration. Its discipline. We need to do a better job in all three phases.
(on if hes confident the team can get it figured out this season) Yeah. I like the way that we work. I like the way that we fight. And I said it after the game and I mean it, we do a good job of fighting back. (Im) just getting real sick of saying that we do a good job of fighting back. So if we put ourselves in good position and we dont just hand away points like weve been doing, well be just fine.
(on if he feels a real sense of urgency in the locker room) Yeah, I mean we want to win. Every single week you play the game of football you have a sense of urgency. I dont think Ive ever been part of a week where there wasnt urgency. If I am, I think thatll be the day that I probably should hang it up but I dont see that day coming for a long, long time.
(on if there is anything new this year that he has to adjust to, as far as how teams play him) There are always things, yeah. Everybody has their own version of throwing something at me and thats fine, whether its double-teams, triple-teams, chips, extra guys, slides. You name it, Ive seen it and thats fine. Thats part of the challenge. Ive always enjoyed it. If youre going to send two or three guys at me, there are 10 other guys on the defense you have to worry about. That also doesnt guarantee that youre going to slow me down. Thats part of my favorite (thing), is the challenge of knowing that theyre trying to stop me and going out there and trying to find a way to beat it.
