By Sid Saraf, FOXSports.com JJ Watt is really focused. I mean, really, really focused. The Texans star spoke to CBSSports.com about his obsession with the game. He approaches his job with a laser-like focus, which doesn't allow time for anything else. Girls? Popping some bubb in the club? Watt doesn't have time for that. At all. "I know that I have probably an eight- to 10-year window in this league, and if I want to be what I say I want to be, then I have to commit myself 100 percent," Watt said. That's why I don't have a girlfriend, because I give my life to this game and I want to be the best in this game, and I know it takes an unbelievable commitment." So girls are a distraction. Check. Are hearts breaking all over the Lone Star State? Maybe, but Watt doesn't care. Girls don't fit into his schedule. "Every single part of my life is calculated. Everything. I'm sure part of it is unhealthy, because my personal relationships suffer, I don't have much of a social life. I literally dedicate my life to this game, and you're not going to find me out, you're not going to find me at the bar, you're not going to find me outside my house very often, because if I'm not at the stadium I'm recovering, I'm eating, I'm doing some recovery for my legs, I'm getting my body ready."
I'm kidding, obviously. But statements like this is why Watt is making big money and playing on the grandest of stages. There will be time for all of the hanging out and partying after he's done with the game. I think you have to respect that. Questions? Comments?
