7 year old kid sends JJ Watt his jersey.  Autographed.



JJ Watt: "This kid has some guts... I like it."


Twitterverse:  @JJWatt redskins just signed the kid

:lol:

Good writing for a 7 year old.  :)

Agree.  Almost looks like an adult trying to write like a kid. 

That said, my 6-year old has reached the point where his handwriting is neater than mine.  But I'm still a better speller :contract:

I wonder if the Texans will promote one of their current scout type dudes to replace him or if they'll go out and get someone new.

E: Maccagnan I mean.

FWIW I heard they fired their video director and equipment manager.  Harsh.

I was talking about the syntax more than the penmanship.  Some good sentence complexity.

It gets too hot down there.  Besides, I'm sure they already had someone lined up.

I am tempted to go to the East-West game one of these years and do some networking :ph34r:

Yeah, well it was probably dictated by a parent, word for word (assuming they didn't just do the whole thing).  I basically told my kid what to write when he wrote his letter to Santa last month.

Someone has to take the fall for the players not winning.

If the season W-L result had anything to do with those dudes, they should have been promoted not shitcanned.

Probably spying for the Patriots.

Sometimes franchises keep the worker bees around, sometimes they do the whole Coalition Provisional Authority Order #1 thing.

Don't know anything about the equipment manager (though I could speculate based on other examples) but apparently the video guy had taken a year off a while ago for health reasons.  And you just don't do that.

Not in America, you don't.
