Around here we know JJ Watt as the guy that nearly retired after Eric Fisher booted him and his team into oblivion. It was a big moment for Kansas City Chiefs fans because Fisher has been slowly developing as the former top pick and we're starting to see him turn into a better player. It's all fun and games from our standpoint.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk isn't always the most popular guy but a recent exchange he had with JJ Watt is going to make Florio more popular around here. Florio called out Watt's "I don't want attention but everyone look at me" routine that he does.
Let's recap it.

Florio from the top rope!!!
"Why does everyone always want to talk about me? I'm just minding my own business and seeking no attention at all." https://t.co/K67Av3zsDM

@ProFootballTalk you do know how Twitter works, right? If you don't want to see it, stay off my page. Take your saltiness elsewhere.

I do stay off your page. I follow your team's page. They retweeted it. That's how Twitter works, right? https://t.co/4arzpy1LzB

Take your false humility elsewhere.

Let's be clear. There's nothing wrong with wanting a little bit of attention. A lot of players want attention and they should. They work really hard at their craft. However, Watt tries to act as if he doesn't want the attention, which bugs people. He clearly does. Just call a spade a spade, dude.
