J.J. Watt could squash Zach Mettenberger with his pinky toe but that didn’t stop the Titans now-backup quarterback from throwing shade at his divisional foe. This mini beef goes way back to last October when Watt mocked Mettenberger for taking a selfie before his first career start by doing a selfie celebration after sacking Mettenberger.
It appeared the amusing exchange was over, with the exception of a few random selfie digs by Watt, that is until Mettenberger was asked by Houston Chronicle reporter Jason Lisk about Watt’s Texans letter jacket, which apparently Mettenberger finds just as “high school-ish” as selfies, saying:
J.J. had to say it’s a bit high school-ish that I take selfies and I think he still rags me on Instagram every time he posts a selfie. At the same time, if that’s high school-ish, he got a letterman jacket made, a Texans letterman jacket. That’s pretty high school-ish to me, don’t you think?
After being told of the comments, Watt took to Twitter to issue a brief 16-word response that proved why he’s one of the most popular athletes on the planet:
A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of a sheep. Time to attack the day.
