New England Patriots v Houston Texans

Houston policemen and firefighters were treated to some Papa John’s pizza thanks to Texans’ defensive end and football god J.J. Watt.

HFD & HPD

I just wanted to send y’all a small token of my appreciation for everything you do. My Dad & Uncle were both firefighters, so I spent a lot of time around the firehouse when I was younger and gained a great deal of respect for both firefighters and the police force along the way.

Y’all show up day in & day out, never knowing what the day might hold and never getting enough thanks for what you do, yet you continue to put others before yourselves and save lives because of it.

As athletes, we often get the headlines and big crowds, but just like the men & women in our military, y’all are the ones who truly deserve the credit, appreciation & admiration. I know it’s not much, but please enjoy lunch on me today. Thank you for all that you do!

JJ Watt 99

As an aside, it’s pretty cool to see that Watt substitutes “&” for “and” when he writes. When his football career is over, J.J. Watt may have a promising career in calligraphy.
