J.J. Watt Appreciates Kindness from Opposing Fans While Calling His Brother's Games
J.J. Watt has spent much of his first season as CBS's No. 2 analyst working alongside Ian Eagle to call Steelers games, where his younger brother T.J. Watt is a standout player. Despite the potential for awkwardness, J.J. finds balancing his professional duties and family ties surprisingly smooth.
Professionalism on the Air
In a recent appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, Watt shared his perspective:
“Honestly, it’s not nearly as bad as I think people think it would be. You’re up there, and I know how to be professional. I talk to him before the game. But, during the game, Ian handles the play-by-play anyway, so I have like a 3 or 4 second where he makes a strip-sack fumble, where Ian is doing his job really well, and then I break down the play.”
Respectful Fan Response
Watt expressed gratitude toward opposing fans, noting their surprising graciousness:
“From the fan reaction, I’m very appreciative of all the opposing fans who have been so kind because I have consciously tried to keep it extremely unbiased.”
