JJ Watt, Professional Frugalball Player

[crapula]

Thought you guys would appreciate JJ Watt's response to a reporter asking what he did after signing his $100 million contract with the Houston Texans

Turns out, he really walks the mustachian walk.  After signing an $11 million rookie contract, he went and bought himself a $400k house, which, while still extravagant by this forum's standards, certainly represents living within your means.

Guy's a hell of a player and competitor.  I have nothing but respect for him.

Go Hawks!

It is actually even more exaggerated than the 11 million you just mentioned. He just signed a 100+ million dollar contract.

Frugalball! Sounds like a great sport. Is it on TV?

I'd check the OTA antenna stations first....

Just saw this, was going to post the same vid but found this thread!

Hopefully he can spread the levelheadedness to other players.

The 11 Mil was in reference to his rookie contract. Guy has got skills!

I never thought I would find anything about any football player attractive but I think I'm changing my tune. I hope he doesn't meet some spendthrift lady. I hope he meets a nice Mustachian lady who loves football.

That most astounding thing is that everyone seems to be completely baffled.

That said, it looks like a very good deal to me from the numbers. You can get less for more money.
