Mettenberger was named the starter on Thursday, when a photo of him during his first interview as the Titans starter went viral. It featured his shaggy hair, mustache and a red headband, in the style of Ben Stiller's character in the movie "Dodgeball."

What might have annoyed Watt the most was a selfie taken Sunday morning and posted about 90 minutes before kickoff.

"I just, I take my job very seriously," Watt said. "If I was a rookie quarterback being named the starter for the first time in the league, I feel like I'd be a little bit more focused than that.

Well he was obviously focused on a celebration before the game so he is kind of being a jackass

Meh, that's just his personality. He dressed like Ron Burgundy while at LSU.

I generally like JJ Watt, but this sounds petty and hypocritical to me.

I like JJ Watt as a player, but he comes off as very douchey occasionally. Who cares what Mett was doing?

no shite.. 2 star 240lb defensive end turned into a 290-300lb monster that ran a 4.7 at the combine.

He was obviously not too focused on whatever he was doing if he knew what Mett was doing 90 minutes before the game.

Watt is one hell of a football player.

And one hell of a douche.

I wouldn't say that last part to his face, though.

that ESPN "report" was painful to listen to and a great example of why i don't watch anything on ESPN anymore unless its an LSU game.

Paraphrased words from an actual ESPN "journalist" (I assume this vapid woman graduated from college but I can't be sure):

'well you know we just like asked JJ why he took the selfie pick sack celebration pick and he was like you know my job is super serious or something and mustaches are totally not cool - back to you in the studio androgynous asian'

holy frick what did i just watch?

Some people are more serious than others. It helps some people to take their job more seriously, while others perform better when they're loose and easy-going. Watt probably shouldn't be critical of Mett; as long as Watt's doing what works for him and his team, nothing else should matter. Mett can do the same.

JJ Watt "It's just kind of a reminder this is the National Football League, not high school"

Glad Watt got that jab in. Cause Mett is gonna be torching the Texans for a long time.

Lols. Someone should say "hey you giant tool, why don't you ease up on the gel, tuck your fricking shirt in like a grown man, and lose the letterman jacket; This isn't HS after all."
