As if that takes any significant amount of extra time Bottom line is Watt is hypocrite douchebag here.


He was calling out Mett for his prima donna ways when he's a 3rd string rookie QB, not for the act of taking selfies.

I don't agree with Watt, just sayin what he said.

Watt does a lot for fans in Texas. They love him there, they want pics with him.

He should probably hire someone to walk around and take pictures with fan's cameras on fan day at the park. That would be a lot less hypocritical

He's being a good role model (as far as we know).

Isn't that what people harp about when they talk about these thugs playing ball?

You can't have it both ways. The guy works fricking hard, and gains noteriety for being a good guy helping dying cancer kids and he only does it for the publicity?

You people are funny.

so you can devote time to helping out dying kids but not 10 seconds for a selfie.

This particular act was one of a jackass when the accuser targets a rookie over something harmless but remains silent over big issues.

I played a few years of college sports, I'm hardly an expert. But, I get how there are unwritten rules, etc. I don't think anyone had issue with on the field stuff, but it was a real dick move make a point of it in the press conference. If tough guy/purist Watt is the self appointed enforcer, challenge an established player, someone with fans and who can push back.

Details have finally come to light in the incident that led Georgia to dismiss quarterback Zach Mettenberger. The freshman pleaded guilty to sexual battery after an incident at a bar in southern Georgia during spring break.

Southern Judicial Circuit district attorney J. David Miller said the charges "were the result of Mettenberger grabbing the breasts and touching the buttocks" of a 20-year-old female Valdosta State University student in the bar. He was sentenced to 12 months of probation and 80 hours of community service.

Mettenberger was originally facing various charges of underage possession of alcohol, disorderly conduct and possession of false identification. Bulldogs coach Mark Richt allowed him to participate in spring practice and compete for the starting job before removing him from the team last month, indicating the case was more serious. Aaron Murray was named the starter for Georgia after his dismissal.

espn s highlight of this made it look like he didn't complete a pass

He was not good on Sunday. The first 9 drives of the game, they only had 68 yards of total offense and were down 27-3. Then late in the 3rd and into the 4th quarter when Houston let up, they put up 221 yards of offense. I don't usually like the QBR stat, but in this case it was pretty accurate considering it takes into account performance depending on situations. He ended the day with a QBR of 22.7.

I still think he can be a stud, but he was pretty bad on Sunday.

Mett needs Crash Davis to mentor him.




How soon LSU fans forget how we reacted when Mett had a poor game against Furman after showing up for the game in this getup.

Difference between taking selfies with a fan and taking one of yourself and posting it to IG. If you can't see why this would an issue in an NFL locker room you aren't paying much attention.
