No one worked harder than t.o but because he talked and went out it got ignored.
Actually TO never really went out that much. Sorry.

I wouldn't be surprised if Watt is annoying as shite. People who are obsessed with something are incredibly annoying to be around.
It's pretty well known that Jerry Rice was VERY obsessive with structure, routine, and appearance. Everything had to be perfect, from the way he trained, practiced...to the way his jersey and socks fit.
I'm sure it was aggravating to many of his teammates. There's stories of them and coaches always giving him a hard time about that quirkiness.
However, I'm sure they would all acknowledge that his desire and need for everything to be perfect is one of the major characteristics that led him to be the GOAT.

I agree. Kind of shocking it's even a question. Hell, if my office job told me I'll get several mil a year but we basically own you for several years...fine by me.

The dude has an unreal combination of athletic ability and work ethic. Dude was so underrated coming out of college because he was white. His combine numbers were absurd and people didn't seem to notice.
Dud is on some serious juice.
Book it.
No white boy is that good.

That's what your mom said last night.

I mean I know he is an intense guy and all but more people on the team should admire his work ethic, not make fun of it.
I guess it depends on the locker room dynamic.
If he comes to work, busts his arse and is humble, I guarantee nobody will make fun of him.
But, if he is an overly obsessed douche who throws it in his teamates faces about how much harder he works than them... then yes he deserves to get made fun of and should probably just chill the frick out a bit.
With this roided up meathead, I suspect scenario 2.

I'm very sorry for your loss if that's true.
I know that's also a running joke around here.
So.
Going to hell, don't care.

Maybe he should get away with murder and then "find God" to get respect/street cred.

I don't understand why every time any athlete is a physical freak it is automatically assumed by so many he's on roids. God forbid it be their work ethic and drive.
Also anyone claiming Watt to be on roids clearly has not paid attention to his off the field interviews or how he conducts himself. There is nothing about him that indicates he is on the juice. I've never understood where people get shite like this from for him.

It's good to be quirky.

Because just about everytime an athlete is a physical freak, they are on some kind of PED.

You really don't understand why?

Lance Armstrong was an American hero and actually sued people and obtained a huge judgment against a young college girl for slander. I think it's pretty easy to see why people think that JJ and his roid rage-type antics would raise a red flag, even if he says all the right things in interviews. Also, his workout partner and teammate was suspended for performance enhancers.
I don't know or care either way FWIW.

This is what I don't get. JJ doesn't have roid rage type antics really other than normal aggression any defensive football player has. Cushing on the other hand, roid rages all the time.
Maybe I'm naive but I really don't think as many pro athletes are using illegal PED's as people on this board do.

You don't think people are using HGH when the NFL doesn't even test for HGH?
