Texans star breaks 5-year-old’s bike

Houston defensive end J.J. Watt, a Wisconsin native and childhood Packers fan, was in Green Bay for a Texans-Packers joint practice Monday that he ultimately sat out. Players from both teams rode bikes with local kids to practice, a longtime Packers tradition. And Watt’s enormous body ruined the bike he borrowed from a young Packers fan.

Watt replaced the bike for the child and found a new one for himself, saying “that bike wasn’t equipped for a 290-pound man.”

The pass rusher did not blame the 5-year-old he borrowed the bike from for being a Packers fan, either.

“He had a (Aaron) Rodgers jersey on, which is fine. I respect it. I support loyalty,” Watt said.

He respects loyalty, but not gravity.
