This board hates him because of the selfie thing with Mettenberger.

That's where it all comes from.

Before that, this board liked JJ Watt.

Meh, it's been a collection of things for me. As am a fan of a rival SEC school and have no dog in the AFC South fight, I'm completely objective, but I thought the Mettenberger comments were pretty stupid. Plus, he's a colossal hypocrite because a few weeks later he was doing a photo shoot with Katy freaking Perry and is constantly posting stuff on Twitter and Instagram. It's one thing if you're some old timer veteran who doesn't have a social media account, but it's another if you live on social media.

Also, the cabin thing was extremely stupid. He worked hard to craft this Paul Bunyan persona, lied, and got called on it. What's worse is that he didn't even own up to it -- he just tried to change the subject and be like "durr I work hard and am blessed to live there."

Stuff like this reminds me of the story David Letterman tells about how Jay Leno used to (and probably still does) drive around L.A. with a camera crew looking for people with flat tires and would help them change their tires while the camera crew snapped away, and those pics would be "leaked" to the tabloids to show what a great guy he was. Something tells me Watt is cut from the same cloth.
